a quick "redesign" sketch for the transformers: G2 character, Rapido.
a few of us who'd done some work for *Transformers-Mosaic are working toward putting together an online comic -- in the same vein as ~TF-War-Journal -- but which instead spotlights the geekier/nerdier transformer characters.
this collaboration, jokingly called "Geekbots" (or even "War-Blog") for the time being, is still in the script-writing stages as of 05/14/08, but is shaping up quite well.
as Rapido is one of the few plastic characters who hadn't really made either an official animated or comic-book appearance, i wanted to take a quick-crack at dolling up the forgotten G2 autobot for his promiment role in the "Geekbot" story.
Great to see Rapido getting some love; he was always one of my favorite toys. Really, it's always great to see any toy-only character getting attention, especially with such great detail as I see here. I look forward to more Geekbots ^_^
I really shouldn't laugh... but all of the "Argh, looks too much like <x>!" comments made me giggle a little. I know the feeling of having to tweak something a million times...
He looks totally sweet in your redesign... and I am so hoping we can pull this project off, as what we've got so far is great.

The way ahead has many forks. Potential choices. Unsung songs. Unspoken verse. All awaiting the moment when "What might be" has become "What is."
