Description Yes, I did it again - I 'orcafied' another of my favorite Transformers: Knock Out. This time, I didn't hold myself to any limitations as far as coloration went. But I've avoided adding spikes, protrusions, or anything like what was seen with orca!Barricade, as I've decided those kinds of aesthetic features will be reserved for Bayformer incarnations of cetaceans.

How to sum him up? "Sexy and he knows it": [link]

Beautiful work. Knockout would make a handsome orca. I love the marking, especially the eye and saddle patch

Thank you. Some days, I wonder if his markings should have been more elaborate than this, with more black and white marks. But overall, I still like his look.

Thank you.

I quite like the fact it's barred, as opposed to a solid shape. Makes him all the more distinct, as if being glaring red wasn't enough.

Thank you.

To be honest, I haven't yet woven a plot around this whole idea of TF orcas, other than they're fun to redesign. I'm thinking something to do with the differing ecotypes somehow factors, but as I'm currently trying to work out each Decepticon's physical look (as I'm focusing just on that side of the TFP cast for the time being), I can't say I have as much time to jot down whatever writing ideas may be gleaned from it.

I have a red orca, save he's grey and a much darker red so basically black XD, Nice array of colors here, the red stands out against the blues and greens

May not be the most viable of Transformers-to-animals concept. But I like it.

First time for everything. Angelorca6109's orca!Bumblebee was the first yellow orca I've laid eyes on.

He'd enjoy whatever worship comes his way. Even if it's just a bare glance.

If he were a bird, he'd be a peacock - no doubt in my mind.

Thank you.

Very nice, even as an Orca he looks "sexy" as hell now all we need is his buddy breakdown

grayorca In reply to SergeanTrooper [2013-01-23 17:09:12 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. This started with nothing more than a rough sketch of his face. Once I nailed down that expression, it was, "Okay - gotta do the whole thing now. That expression is too good." I'm particularly happy with his eyepatch, and how it includes an 'earmark'.

Yes. Breakdown, and possibly the rest of TFP's Decepticons, should follow. It's just a matter of taking them one at a time and picking which traits to include/emulate.

Megatron would definitly be interesting to see

grayorca In reply to SergeanTrooper [2013-01-23 18:29:26 +0000 UTC]

He'll probably the next one I'll try to redesign (those eyebrows would make wicked-looking eyepathes). Him or Breakdown. Seems like the bulkier the robot mode, the easier to re-envision it as an orca.

But if I do go through with it and re-design the rest of the Cons, Shockwave will probably by the strangest: cyclops orca. Or Airachnid, with all her limbs. I'm thinking a spider-esqe saddlepatch will fix that. Or maybe it won't... *goes back to sketching*
