TF Beast Wars OC commission- Devilbird

I whipped this up for

She's a former Decepticon converted into a Transmetal. Her beast mode is for flying quietly and getting the drop on the Maximals, with her "jet" mode being used for pursuit if the jig is up. She comes off as elegant and classy, not unlike Megatron, but her real nature is this wily, mad scientist side of her that she just does a good job hiding most of the time.

So here's the gist of her transformation between robot and beast modes. Her robot mode's shoulders are the owl mode's hips, and vice versa. They basically just switch places via rails, or an elaborate chest transformation. With today's engineering, I'm sure this could be pulled off better than  Beast Machines' Silverbolt, at least.

To transform into robot mode, her beast mode legs uncompress to reveal arms, the thigh armor moving to become shoulder pads. The chest extends forward, giving the owl head enough room to sink into it, also revealing the robot mode's head. Her robot mode's legs, hidden under her wings, shift down while the sides of the stomach open and move behind the robot mode's shoulders and the wings rest behind the hips.

I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out. She's simply one of the better characters I've had to work with.

That's it for today.
