Transformer

paddflask

Hi, first post here!
Some thumbnails sketches/ concept of my transformer. It's for a school project and I want my robot to have parts from a helicopter merged with maybe truck parts or something?

I started to model the propeller and I used photorefs on a Black Hawk helicopter for that.

i don't understand. you modelled the blades as they would be on the helicopter itself...not how you've drawn them in your thumbnail. since you said a mix between a truck and a helicopter, i'm assuming you're not going to have it be one or the other, but just model it in it's robot form?

do you plan on animating a transformation?

Sorry, think I forgot to mention that the propeller was just a test, I actually made it before the concept was done but I will change it to the form in the concept later on.
The model is for an assignment in school so due to the time I will just model it in its robot form for now, but planning to animate it and maybe do an transformation.

looks like jetfire from the second movie (the old decepticon)



or more applicably blackout from the first movie

love the concept, and anything ressembling jetfire gets an A+ in my book

raiskul: I have actually used these two transformers as references when i created my own so my robot will probably look like a mix of them?

torontoanimator: thank you, I also like the concept of jetfire...

Here is a bit of the leg..
