Description
"Thunderwing: Possession"
Prints available!
Started out as a speedpaint, but I ended up taking it a little further than that. Still not what I would call a "finished" piece, but I like the roughness as it stands.
Anyway, it's Thunderwing, specifically his Generations toy. In the old Marvel comics, he was a rare – perhaps unique – Decepticon leader who could interface with the Matrix like many Autobot leaders could. His quest to claim the Matrix consumed him and eventually destroyed him.
Unfortunately this doesn't leave many open story options for me to imagine for his new toy... but then I thought, what if this isn't his comic self, but rather a version of him in the cartoon universe? He never showed up there, but there's no reason he couldn't exist in it. Thing is, by the end of the series, the Matrix had been "emptied" and was referred to as a "shell." But it did still have some utility: Optimus was able to use it to enter Vector Sigma, the supercomputer that gives Transformers life. And I figured that would be a perfectly fine thing for a cartoon Thunderwing to have a rare connection to and an obsession to possess.
