Description One of a series of redesigns I have done of the characters from the original 80’s Gobots TV show, in the style of Transformers Animated.

Coptur was one of my favourite characters so wanted to do justice to the design and keep the iconic head very much the same. Had the idea of making him like a Samurai warrior with the sword and armour to give him character. One of the best designs imo cos he has a bit of an attitude and personality. As always, comments welcome!

Who knows; If the Gobots had looked (even halfway) like this, they might've made it into syndication as Transformers did...

Thanks it's a bit generic and a bit like the decepticon symbol but nevermind!

Cool symbol for the Renegades Guardian one seems dull due to it ^^'
Anyway, this design is nice, I like how you made the character into a ninja (Prowl anyone? ) and he does resemble his original self (only wish you made his mouth more in the style of original Optimus Prime... Cop-Tur with a mouth like Optimus Primal had seems out of place for me... granted, that's how he was in the original series).
Just one, nitpick though: his name is written Cop-Tur... at least according to my data.

Cop-Tur was indeed badass in the cartoon alone. I hate ot admit it.. his voice was awesome as well.

That is really cool. And a very neat idea for a redo of Cop-Tur. You did a good job at keeping the elements of his original design. I like the purple on him better than blue. It makes him look more evil I find and his helm design is very menacing yet so sophisticated with the eyes as they are. The boots are my favorite part as well as how you make him look like he has toes. However, I've noticed that at his abdominal area, it looks kind of like a cross as it is rather than like abdominal lines. I like the idea of them being there though. Don't get me wrong.
