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.With Scooter i really wanted to make him look like a kid, with the roller boots and boomerang and not as annoying as the original! Updated the scooter and look but i think i retained some elements of the original. The big hands and feet were inspired by TFA Bumblebee cos i think his personality would be similar to Scooter if Scooter were reinvented. C&C welcome!

Even a goofy TA appearance like this is slightly better that what he started out with (though Hanna-Barbera tried their best back in the 80's)

reminds me of the Scout from Team Fortress 2

Loved Scooter's new look - but wouldn't a skater helmet fit better than a baseball cap?

Would you give an alt-version with helmet a try, just to see how it might look? I'm curious...

Buahahahahaha!!!
I was waiting to see what you did with Scooter
The body turns out kinda slim, but the young look is great here 
And it's a good thing you re-designed his vehicle mode; it stunk, just like Cy-Kill's
Certainly I like this one

He is pretty awesome. I like the roller blade boots a lot. I can picture a guy like Scooter skating with them easily. I also like how you made his figure less boxy and more soft and loose. The best part is that he looks very passive rather than like a true fighter since Scooter wasn't the fighter of the gang even in the official cartoon. The v-neck shirt and baseball cap were a nice touch too.

thanks i wanted to get as many elements of a stereotype teenager in as i could to sell the fact that he's young and kind of the Gobot version of bumblebee form Transformers Animated whcih i think would suit him. I also wanted him to be cooler and not as annoying as the original, hence the roller blades!

A sentence I never thought I'd type: Hey, I like Scooter.

He's more likeable based on Animated Bumblebee, for sure!
