This image is such a doodletydoo sketch with 5 colors! A toned down thingamabob.


His name is "Air Brake" not "Air Break"! (I'm looking at you, tagger!)

He was born as a gladiator. Aka built for the very purpose.

AB had his very first match on the arena the day he was born and brutally killed his opponent without mercy. This shocked the audience but he got known immediately.

Later he began to understand things such as moral, self-conscience, honor and justice.

He has the Decepticon logo on his back, but it is only visible in his battle-stance where he shifts his armor to be more aerodynamic. This means that he can use the turbine on his back to enhance his speed, and in order to keep it cooled down the back plates open to reveal the air-intakes and the logo at the same time.

In his battle-stance, the wings also transform to be smaller and 'layered' and assist that way with his movements when necessary. But there's a downside to that, and that is that it'll take second longer to transform to his jet-mode and that can be a difference between life and death. It's a calculated risk but Air Brake is fully aware of it.
 
He doesn't do 'dating'. One spark-break was enough when he was still a young gladiator.

Air Brake drinks a lot. As in he can drink a lot continuously for a day or two due to his system being so accustomed to it. There really wasn't much other things to do at the backstage of the gladiator pits than to drink themselves under the table. Of course the older bots there made the new-comer have a party of a lifetime. More than once. And they would spend the whole next day recharging to get sober for the next match.

He joined Megatron's Decepticons to find worthy opponents and in hopes he could challenge Megatron again into a match which has never happened this far. Air Brake didn't mind the cause either as he got tired of being a 'tool' for entertainment while those built for 'greater' purpose got to enjoy their luxurious life.

He's a retired mercenary now who simply got bored of killing. As he noticed himself doing more and more unnecessary moves on his victims just to make it look 'better', Air Brake realized he had a knack for art. Because of that he became a self-taught freelance artist with main subject being sculpting.

Air Brake has a workshop in Neutralzone which he also considers as his home.

He doesn't talk much unless necessary, or when he's quite drunk.

He's easily dragged into 'harmless' pranking because he wants to see how much of a mess the outcome can possibly be.

The person who Air Brake feels most comfortable around is Tranquil. This is because of the latter's ability to stay quiet for long periods of time. Believe it or not!
 
If you're wondering what he has behind his visor, he definitely doesn't have normal eyes there. Instead he has these rails across his face that have four moving optics. This is to have a wider range of sight, so basically he can see almost 240 degree at once, which is quite useful in battle. It also enhances his sight to be able to see things with more depth which reduces the errors from calculations where objects truly are.



I can't count to 8 but who cares?

I think it's time to tag people as well?


Here's my victims! You do or you do not! Simple!

Atra! Omg I love her you know that!!!!

Moon Dancer!

Ripwar, because, you know, I can't let you leave without a punishment?

Gravity Core!


You know, there's just so many awesome characters that if you want and feel like it, just do this fact meme and share the love of your characters were they original or fan characters!

Dat glowing visor so hawt o3o~ Love the idea with his visual system, it's so unique!

Also from merciless gladiator to freelance sculptor that must be the most interesting career path I have ever seen xD

pika In reply to Khajay [2016-09-19 20:00:54 +0000 UTC]

When I design my fan characters, I try to take them out of human proportions as much as I can and actually enhance the more 'robotic' traits.

What you mean you haven't met a bot who'd drastically change their occupation like this? xDDDD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Khajay In reply to pika [2016-09-20 11:13:30 +0000 UTC]

I think that's awesome x3 Not a stickler for Cybertronians having to look absolutely unhuman but their species is definitely different from ours and I like when a character has small but significant traits that underline this fact

Oh pfft I don't know it's certainly a unique career shift but hey why not :'D


Btw you wouldn't happen to offer portrait commissions in the exact same style as the left part of the image would you

pika In reply to Khajay [2016-09-22 10:37:11 +0000 UTC]

Like Shockwave does with this cyclops look and gun arm? How about Whirl with his empurata? But those are still pretty much "human" shaped with two arms and legs. Then comes the Beast Wars characters that have an alt-mode pile of legs as an arm, or a spider's mouth on their face and what not! Yet those characters are still loved as well. Depends on what one has gotten used to, hehe.

I'm open for commissions and if you want to think about that, here's pricelist and you can always send me a note asking things. Transformers Commissions open!

So, if he ever came across Megatron in the Neutralzone, would he fight him or let the warlord pass without confronting him?

pika In reply to golden1willow [2016-09-19 19:58:21 +0000 UTC]

He wouldn't let Megs pass if it was possible for the warlord to enter Neutralzone in the first place. His every incarnation is blocked from entering the area. The spacebridges controls who enters and who leaves.

Indeed! And most of them can be fun too!


Alright, alright! Sheesh xD I had been wondering if he had optics or not but that question was answered but mostly I was wondering how he is with organics?

pika In reply to TRlover2324 [2016-09-22 10:11:24 +0000 UTC]

First is answered, but the second? With humans? He ends up on Earth at one point during the war. When it happens there and he not wanting to be seen, he scans the propelled airplane, yet keeps parts of his previous alt-mode to be more efficient and faster. AB is okay with humans but doesn't think much of them. He might have had a few human partners. Mainly in the maintenance crew because they found out the airplane they were working on wasn't quite Earth made.  So he made a deal with them not to blow his cover and he would not kill them! Although the threat was something he wouldn't have done anyway.

TRlover2324 In reply to pika [2016-09-22 16:57:52 +0000 UTC]

To be killed brutally by a giant robot if you tell your boss about it? I would have taken the deal of keeping it a secret too xD. I don't fancy getting squished. I am too young and pretty to die. I was wondering about it because I was thinking about having Jordan with Flameraid when Brakey and Fla first met.
