More moosebots

[ink_in_hand]

Got poked for the different moosebot wings types/variations. While it was originally for the small differences for the Titanium Moosebot I already have...



So now there's at least three types of moosebots flying around in my head. The long thin wing is a shape better equipped for long distances and speed in the biological world. And the short broad wing is better for manuverability, though I might drop the tail rudders completely since the one on the head makes 'em redundent. It's theorized that the large crests on many pterosaurs were there for that very reason and with the rudder in the front makes for tighter turns than the same in the back.

They weren't nearly as stubborn as the first one, and I only picked the colors to fill out the color wheel.

Those long wings are EPIC, I love your work with the Moosebots... They are so massive, and to imagine them zooming around the sky O.O

That first one looks like an epic cross between a shark and some sort of sighthound. Just the smooth lines sharpness of this one is a really great look. Makes me just want to pet it.

The outline of the broad wing one looks so much like a butterfly to me. Still, love the crest you gave it, the crested pterosaurs were always a favorite.

And the little sketch of the broad wing one in the upper right corner makes me think its wading in some sort of lake or river, since the Rust Sea can't be the only standing bit of liquid on all of Cybertron. Maybe looking for some sort of food that only grows in that area that's more nutritious or something compared to what it gets elsewhere. Much like Earth moose do. Though I'm not sure how well that would go about with how close the engine opening would be to the liquid and I doubt it would do the moosebot much good if said liquid got into it like that, even if it was pure energon.

My TF muse is in agreement with yours. Going so far as to thinking that by the end of the war, there's only very small amounts of wildlife on Cybertron, if there's even any left at all. The only ones that may be in any type of healthy condition are ones that have ended up on other planets. Either in zoos or simply having hitched a ride and escaped the craft they were on.
