TFA: Beast Wars Transmutate

"Trans...mutate."

I dare to to watch "Transmutate" and not get all choked up. I. Dare. You.

Of all the ones for me to draw, "Why Transmutate?" will probably buzz through the heads of you TF-fans out there. Simple. I drew Rampage. Transmutate served to provide a nigh complete monster like Rampage with some very, very powerful moments, and so, deserves a spot.

I tried to make Transmutate look misassembled, to add to the "damaged/mutated" feel. I also consider Transmutate a she, personally, but I had no gender really in mind when drawing this.

"Do not speak. None shall hurt you now. Come with me, come. I will protect you...I am your friend. Your only friend." ~Rampage, breaking from his role as nightmare fuel to become a big brother to a kindred spirit.

Transmutate also gave Silverbolt the only scenes where I ever truly respected the character.

"Friend...good. Friend...dark. I...am...hurt."
