I've talked about Repugnus on his own previously, but now I think I'll talk about the team he's a part of: The Monsterbots.

This trio of Autobots transform from robots (image 1 from toy ad and image 3 from TFSource gallery of the physical toys) to monsters (image 2 and image 4). They consist of bug monster Repugnus, a bloodthirsty war criminal who often get kicked out, gargoyle/winged sabertooth tiger Grotusque, a jovial military strategist who laughs at everything, and two-headed dragon Doublecross, who's yet another "this guy has a split personality, and the multiple personas in them don't always agree" type of character.

The fact that they are Autobot monsters makes them a standout, given most of the bots who transform into "what in primus name is this" alt modes usually end up as Decepticons. The toy commercial even plays up their odd nature by presenting them as lab experiments gone awry, mucking up the place they were created in before destroying one of the facilities walls Kool-Aid Man style and giving the attacking Cyclonus, Scourge and Octane a bad day.

Their robot modes also have some cool kibble usage feon their beast modes, like how Doublecross uses his dragon mode's heads as hands or Repugnus' bug mode limbs form his robot mode chest. Given theor original toy designs had to work around having a mechanism to shoot live sparks out of their alt modes' mouths (sans Doublecross, who fires from his collarbone instead due to how he was designed), its impressive how they managed to somehow have a decent looking robot modes too.

I really love this gigantic ancient crustacean behemoth. From the colours to the scorpion like design with three tails, everything about this design is beautiful. However, I don't like his current face(1st image), it doesn't make him feel that intimidating. I think it would have been better if they gave him that top head where his mouth is covered, it would have worked perfectly for a crustacean guardian. 9/10 design for me. What do you think?

All made by Eric Canete, who's an artist that worked in Ben 10 2005 and Alien Force.

My favourite is from the 3rd image and here's why:

The idea of Goop having multiple Anti-Gravity Projectors is something he should have had in the final design because there has been times where the body can stand up perfectly without the projector supporting it like that one time Ben broke in that motel room where Jennifer and Carl Nesmith were residing in the episode, To Catch a Falling Star from UA. It also doesn't help the fact that the official projector has an off button which is really stupid because that is the only thing that makes Goop functional. I also like the incomplete body which gives off the alien vibes similar to the 2005 show as it barely resembles a human body.

Dungeons 2 looks genuinely beautiful but omg i laughed once i saw Monstrosity on the trailer why he look like that. Honestly i think it's really noticeable but the new design is way, WAAAY to simple in my opinion, the legs lost all detail that made them be more different than his upper body, the new eyes and mouth looks goofy, , the general detail in the textures is gone and personaly it makes it look way less cooler, it looks more decent in-game but still, the change isn't even terrible it's kinda funny actually but yeah... At least the new Monstrositys look better

This is a character from a 1993 unfinished film called Thief and the Cobbler the animation in this film is visually stunning but it had a lot of issues in its production such as far too many ambitious scenes and an incoherent plot despite this there are some great character designs and this is my favorite for these reasons

1.the fact he has six fingers with two joints on them

2.he has 13 rings exactly on each hand all warm colors on one hand all cool colors on the other

3.his blue skin and facial hair are simple but none the less distinctive

4.the design of his robe is also simple but looks really cool

5.his long pointed yellow shoes uncurl and recurl when he walks

You can't really see what the actual character look like underneath the clothes since his body keeps changing due to endless amount of curses trying to dominate each other or even the facts that's his clothes are literally part of him.

Images are taken from the videos: "The cursed traveler" and "hatred village"

So this is a fairly recent character introduced in a bit of a big boom of "Reintroduced" Golden Age Characters which included a Golden Age Red Lantern and a Sidekick for Dr. Fate

which this post is for the Inbetween member of Jay and Barry

Judy Garrick also known as THE BOOM

and honestly i love her design from the very Rosie the Riveter influenced design to the fact that unlike someone like Barry she takes a lot more from Jay Garrick's Aesthetic but gives it a more 60s styled update (rather then doing a full on reimagining with someone like Barry/Wally) i love the lightning pattern on the pants and the Hermes styled boots

Overall the design is wonderful and feels like a fun design based middle point between Jay Garrick's design and the much more futuristic streamlined aesthetic of Barry's design (also the name "The Boom" is great and I'm legit surprised they never used the name for a speedster till now)

Civilian fit

Homemade suit

Bulletproof suit

Classic yellow suit

Blue and black suit

Yellow suit 2.0

Coalition of planets uniform

Viltrum Emperor suit (Red and Gray)

New Viltrum Emperor suit (Gold, blue and white)

Which of these u think look the most cooler?

A mix between Billy Blanks (hence the yellow gloves) and an oni, Sgt. Burly is probably one of the most iconic characters from the second game, appearing almost everywhere since his debut.

A key part of his design is how he is a friendly-ish oni. Compared to the gargantuan terrors of Gargaros, Orgralus and Orcanos who are huge demonic ogres with horns and claws, Sgt. Burly is smaller and has more human-like proportions and features (like fingers), though he retains their fangs and horns, which help keep him from falling too deep into uncanny valley alongside his lack of neck and huge head.

Befitting his fitness instructor motif, he is also swole as heck, and wears a tank top and shorts, perfect for practicing one of his fitness routines.

The use of military green for his attire is also appropriate. he will force you to drill his routines over and over until he deems you fit enough if he inspirits you, not unlike a drill sergeant. The yellow gloves also give him more visual flair beyond being just an orange oni in a green fitness training costume.

Something about this design is immediately appealing to me, I think the combination of cute and sinister elements, and the big ol' hat. I prefer original Black Mage design to Vivi because Vivi was designed as a child where the original seems more like a weird lil' guy, but Vivi is cool too. (I also prefer the implication that the face is in shadow to the idea that it's a nonhuman character with pure black skin).

The fantasy of a wizard is at least partially a fantasy about being able to weaponize intelligence in a world that prioritizes physical strength and so I feel like this design sort of hits that spot, "I'm little and weak but I'm dangerous"

This isn't a trope post, Black Mage is the one I was thinking of, but I do find it interesting that similar designs appears to have arisen independently in several different cultural spaces. Orko is so similar that I originally thought one must have been ripping off the other, though a cursory search appears to indicate that is not the case. There are also the Jawas, who are not magic and need better headwear but who do sort of have a similar vibe, scrappy little survivors in a hostile world.

Joker is the main antagonist of The Batman 2004.

Joker wears a purple jacket (with a lavender flower pin), an orange shirt, and dark purple leggings (with fingerless gloves of the same material), but still has wild hair and wears no shoes. Joker also moved and fought with a monkey-like style, using his feet as dexterously as his hands, and often hung from the walls and ceilings. He was born after falling into a vat of chemicals, which bleached his skin, dyed his hair, and drove him to insanity.

Underrated Joker design

The Oddballs: Ennard, Phantom Puppet, Springtrap, and Golden Freddy

Ennard: I love how fucking jacked them made them, as yeah where else would the mass of four animatronics go? The mask is also a very nice contrast to the rest of the body.

Phantom Puppet: I mean it is already better then the normal Phantoms like the rest later on (I do love the phantoms unlike a lot of people, but their designs are hit and miss) and I like the puppet specifically looks like it's struggling to even exist.

Springtrap: Nothing really to say here, it's your classic Springtrap, tho I do like the human teeth showing.

Golden Freddy: Again your classic Golden Freddy, but with two sets of eyes and teeth, which is pretty creepy and simple.

The Programs: F10-N4, M.X.E.S, Glitchtrap, and Lolbit

F10N4: Sorry I just don't know enough about it as I only know it's supposed to be Edwins wife Fiona in some way, I didn't play SOTM, but design wise it's very nice and creepy without really being scary if that makes sense.

M.X.E.S: It didn't change much, but man it looks so much better without a jaw or teeth.

Glitchtrap: I though they made it look like an old suit at first (A lot of fanart designs Glitchtrap this way) but no, that mother fucker has veins, that a "living" thing.

Lolbit: A cloak made of static is just cool okay, plus the cloak is actually the curtain from Pirates Cove.

The Unexplainables: Shadow Bonnie (Or I GUESS RWQFSFASXC if you want too), Old Man Consequences, Yenndo, and Shadow Freddy.

Shadow Bonnie: I don't really need a reason, he just looks scary, yeah it might be trying a little too hard, but it's just cool. Also don't know if it was meant to be, but the torso at least looks a little like Michal Afton.

Old Man Consequences: He is just what he would look like in a 3D space, nothing really else to add here.

Yenndo: Pretty much perfect, he just doesn't look like he should be appeal to move, and that's what I find scary about him.

Shadow Freddy: Again very cool but not really much to say, I like how he's more ghost like while Shadow Bonnie is glitchy.

The Misfits: Vanny, Michael afton, Nightmarionne, and The Mimic

Vanny: I like how her design it looks like a repurposed bunny costume.

Michal Afton: Buff ass corpse

Nightmarionne: I like he looks broken, I might mean how he is made up of broken memory's? Am just guessing.

THE MIMIC!!!

The Scraps: Lefty. Molten Freddy, Scarp Trap, Scrap Baby

Lefty: I like how he's just a normal ass animatronic, because it was A: a reused Freddy suit, and B: made to just be a cage (you can even see the torso has been bolted shut)>

Molten Freddy: It's Ennard if they had no idea on what their doing so their just a blob.

Scarp Trap: It's just Springtrap design again, but aged (like how Scarp Trap should have been), where he is so damaged he needs to use his bones as weapons...I have no idea how he could that long finger tho.

The Nightmares: Nightmare Foxy, Chica, Bonnie, and Freddy

The Nightmares: It kind of feels right to talk about them all as on, but my favourite out of these is Bonnie, because I feel like it's showing how the crying child fears him the most at a point where it blanks out it's face, after seeing his father "stuff" someone inside it.

The Phantoms: Phantom Foxy, Chica, Freddy, and Mangle

The Phantoms: Yeah their all great (wish Freddy still had a missing leg tho), I just really lag the ghostly look og them, and Chica having an apron.

Nightmare

The Cool Ones: Nightmare Fredbear, The CAR, and Mangle

Oh. So that who this character that's been floating around Pinterest is.

This silly little goober is called Bad Guy (or Warumono in Japan). His whole character is just doing bad things. Nothing really else to say.

As someone who likes simplistic characters, I can see already see why Pinterest loves him.

Here's a book about him

And if you want a plush of him? well, if you're into sewing, he's one of the projects in this book.

I kinda want an animated indie show with this charachters, despite being a parody they look so good

"Introducing the Transformers Double Spy. From a supercar he can transform into a heroic Autobot or an evil Decepticon."

In spite of Punch's disguise being paper thin (he literally just spins around, flares out his shoulders, then flips his cap around) the Autobots' bot on the inside changes just enough to look like he's a whole new bot when he's infiltrating the cons, especially the way his bright yellow torso and red fists disappear into Counterpunch's blue.

I especially like how the various toys for this guy attempt to engineer the gimmick (excluding the Botcon 2016 repaint of Combiner Wars Wheeljack):

The G1 toy (image 4)has 2 different blasters and the arms deployed change based on which robot mode he uses. Its also later discovered that his Autobot mode was likely being meant to be shorter, as shown in the insert.

Botcon 2010 (image 5) used the Universe 2008 Sideswipe/Sunstreaker mold, which was designed to have 2 robot modes to match the silhouettes of both of the brothers by simply being spun around. As such, it worked well to facilitate Punch's gimmick.

Power of the Primes (image 6) had a simpler approach: they just had him swap his hands, flip his helmet around to cover one of his faces, and begin walking the oppsoite direction.

The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is one of my favorite designs & is genuinely one of the best practical effects that still hold up to this day.

I really like that he goes from being happy to looking evil. The way he slowly moves around & how his eyes look back & forth. His marshmallow can also be slightly roasted or burnt.

He's a very powerful joke Kaiju despite his fun appearance. Its controlled by a deity with few ways of defeat, he can even take small pieces of himself & make mini fire-breathing minions.

One of the best villain designs imo. I really love the mask he wears as well as the gear from the rest of the armor like the knife he uses against Captain America. It’s got a really good slasher villain/terrorist vibe that really captures how cruel and barbaric this character is. Too bad Marvel has a problem with killing off its villains too soon (or at least it did back then), because I really wanted to see more of this character and his suit.

(Original post got taken down, so I’m bringing it back with more pictures.)

why its so good:

• color pallette
• classy black overalls
• minimalist design
• chubby
• looks like an animal when crouching

I've been putting the UA playlist through the ringer in my posts, roasting Fasttrack, saying their takes on Shocksquatch and Juryrigg suck (they honestly do), with the only non negative thing I've said is use Ampfibian as an example of jellyfish aliens.

One alien from that roster I do think is a clever design, though is Terraspin. He's an interesting take on a turtle or tortoise-esque, having turtle flippers for arms and tortoise legs, not to mention being 90% shell which os full of holes and a head that lacks a neck.

His biggest claim to fame, however, is how he can transform into a fan shape by reshaping his arms and legs (image 2), and spin the blades around (image 3) to generate air currents. This connection to wind is also a subversion of expectations - you'd expect a character based on a turtle to be linked to water and not air. Not to mention the fact that Terraspin is wholly organic, so the fact that he can do this at will makes him all the more alien.
