Description
This is an homage to one of my favorite artists Hakua Ugetsu, the conceptual character designer for the anime Bakuretsu Tenshi. The pose was inspired by a piece of his artwork. The name of this piece is also titled after one of his art books (which I have yet to own).I redesigned Trickshift's helmet since the last one was starting to make me gag, lol. This time around I was more able to capture the feel I was looking for.
Also, you probably can't see it because of the shadows, but there's a slit on her forearm gauntlet where she mounts her Grazers, the bladed weapons in her first image. Here, she's just strapped with her two favorite plasma guns she's named "Deb"and "Ivory" (A little nod to DMC fans out there)
Comments welcome as always!

"Trickshift's history is still hidden. Now that you mention it, I probably should start giving out some interesting hints.
Of course, I'm always open to suggestions since her bio hasn't been released yet. 
Cool, thanks! Well, based on what I've seen of her here and elsewhere, Trickshift LOVES her weapons, be they her guns or her blades, and probably spends alot of time polishing and maintaining them. She's very flamboyant & Flirty and probably likes to showoff to the guy bots often, but she probably doesn't mind getting down and dirty during battle like Sidestreet does, and probably isn't quite the Diva/attention princess Sidestreet is. Heck, maybe they have a sort of rivalry or something, like, if Burnout is the "big sister" of the three fembots, then Sidestreet is like the "middle sister" and Trickshift is the "baby sister."
This means that while Sidestreet & Trickshift do care about eachother, they probably don't command eachother's respect as much as eldest sister Burnout does from them, so they probably bicker often over little things. Since Sidestreet is older and more mature (both physically & behavior wise) she probably gets more attention from the guy bots, which makes little sister Trickshift jealous (especially when Sidestreet rubs it in or steals a guy out from under Trickshift's nose, lol). Trickshift in turn probably likes to play all sorts of pranks on her older sis, playing off Sidestreet's desire to look good at all times, like stealing her breastplates or pouring lube or mud on her when she least expects it, lol.
And of course, Burnout always has to step in and play peacemaker before the sibling rivalry between Sidestreet and Trickshift gets too out of hand and becomes Optimus Prime's problem, lol.
hope these ideas sound good

I was just perusing the gallery and noticed this comment and read it a second time and, I have to say, these are great ideas! I think I'll incorporate them into the characters' personalities.

Trickshift's a lot more mature than she looks.
She's vicious on the battlefield, even more so than Burnout, I might add.
More to come later...

Girls and their girls, LOL XD

Nice what would make this pic work even more is if her pistols were really target masters (mini transforming guns). Now it looks like her alt mode is that of a police car, so that may make her an Autobot, though it's true her color scheme does seem to mesh more with the Decepticons. I would like to see a full body shot of her from head to toe.

Here is a link to her original image:

Hope that helps. You'll notice some changes in her helmet design and physique, but this was just a rough idea when it was done. Things have solidified a little more since then.

i like her already. the colors remind me of rouge the bat (especially her chestplate) and she just looks hot!!! i hope to see more of her,
by the way, does bakuretsu tenshi translate to ghost hunters or sorceror hunters? i just want to know what anime you refed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bakuretsu Tenshi roughly translates to "exploding angel". The American release was called Burst Angel.
Hope that helps!

dangit, tim... why do i always end up being a fanboy for your female characters. drooling aside, the colors (the scheme and shading) is lovely!
i adore ugetsu's work (loved burst angel) and so ... i totally dig the homage. nice stuff, man!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks a million man! Yeah, his work is phenomenal. I'm also a big fan of Uno Makoto and I'm going to be doing an homage to him soon as well.
As for being a fanboy, Trickshift is more than happy to tantalize you! It's in her code, hehe.

See, now that's just mean.
I'm not supposed to want to take her clothes off and do naughty things with her. I mean, first, she's about 10 times my size, second she's made of really dense metal, and third, she doesn't even HAVE clothes.
You're a cruel cruel man to make something like that, heheheheheheheheheh.

I like Deb and Ivory.
If she went against Barricade, he'd be very distracted.

Hey, who said she's evil??

well i guess i am prejudice toward the standard decepticon color schemes

True true. She definitely comes off as a Decep. Truth is, I haven't actually decided on a faction yet.

Great job. Even greater because of the Bakuretsu Tenshi reference. Is she like Jo? That would be cool!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Jo? No, she's more of a mischievous character. I'll have to post a bio sometime in the future.

I see. Looking forward for the bio. Thanks for the reply.
