One possible look for the cybertronian Alloygator. While I really like how the head came out, there seems to be something... off with the design.



Because someone doesn't care how they get their awesome.

*snerk* Congratulations, you've just managed to make me snort oatmeal up my nose. I certainly wasn't expecting this first thing in the morning, which is definitely turning out to be better than most already.

His jaws look quite fearsome and very appropriate. They make me want to combine a normal 'gators tough bite with that of a komodo dragon's, so if he should bite you, you're going to have some cosmic rust to take care of. Kind of makes sense, considering what they're swimming around in. Which means their hide has to be made of some of the toughest material around. For tests of speed, hunt turbo foxes. For tests of strength, and courage, or craziness depending on who you're talking to, take on an alloygator. Here bunny, bunny, bunny I have an alloygator a Kup and an Ironhide to introduce to you.

The design does seem a bit off. *tilts head* Maybe it's the fact that the legs are so long, or something. I really wasn't expecting something like this at all, so consider me very pleasantly shocked.

XD Mwahahaha. Because making your breakfast an eventful one was my goal all along. *snicker*

Oh lordi, now I'm seeing alloygators ambushing mechs in my head and biting their arms clean off. Those jaws are more like sheers than anything else.

The longer legs were inspired by the earlier land crocodilians that used to exist. I think it's the colors that are bugging me, I wanted blue, but it doesn't seem to work right.

It makes sense that their legs are longer, since there isn't nearly as much liquid for them to swim around in, and they'd have to be good at getting about on land, otherwise they'd never survive.

The jaws are wicked looking, just imagine the sheer force behind one of their bites.

Maybe the colors are bothering you because alligators, and alloygators by comparison, are masters of camouflage, I don't think this particular type, where the blue is the predominant color and on top of the body, would be very affective camouflage, at least in this part of the Rust Sea. Then again, it might be like an albino or lives in a certain part of the Sea where there's more blue.

When you look at the history of the crocodilian you realize just how small a representation of the diversity they used to have that are now currently living. I'm going to have to do some tweaking with the design, at least to make sure their legs are sturdy enough to support them on 'land' for long durations/distances.

*glee* Oh yes! The rare Blue Alloygator, highly sought by thrill hunters due to the sheer danger confronting one brings, even in comparison to the standard Alloygator. (not having the benefit of camouflage would force an individual at the very least to be more crafty)
