Derrick Wyatt has responed to the leaked sketches of Animated Rodimus, Blackout, Spittor and Strika with a few more details. Strika is referred to as “General Strika”, and has made him very happy and the design for Spittor is from the design by Don Figueroa of Spittor pre-beast mode, as shown in the IDW Beast Wars comics.
Ya know, Hot Rod/Rodimus is one of my favorite TF characters, but I can’t get behind the Animated design. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE TFA, but there’s just something that isn’t clicking here for me. Ya know what it is? It’s his face. It’s too plain in this sketch. It doesn’t match his personality. I’m not hating on it. I’m just saying I hope there’s some more thought put in to him. 🙂
