Long ago, I created a character, Vixream. The backstory is explained in the original pic, which at the time served it's purpose, yet it left me wanting to do so much better.
Vixream is a robot made in the Transformers frame of reference, built by my uber-geekish technology kitsune Techsune. Techsune was commissioned by her then future husband Rukan Hisashi to rebuild a motorcycle (called the "Screaming Vixen") that's been destroyed in a fight against a horde of undead kitsune (known in his particular continuity as "Yamitsune"). Techsune got an idea to improve upon the blue-prints while watching an episode of Transformers on one of her DVDs, and that's where Vixream was conceived. Rukan then provided the soul and since then, Vix has been a part of the family. Below is her Transformation sequence, as per an attempt at imagining one of the toys, from Robot Mode to Motorcycle mode.
1: Close legs together and snap the wheel-halves shut (the 'thigh-guards are a split wheel, with the tires being solid and made with high density foam-rubber. In-other words, the tires will never leak air.)
2: Fold shins onto thighs, revealing tail-pipes, fold back up to hide the feet.
3: Push head down (or if head is detached, push neck down) to open the stomach and bring forward the holder for the front wheel. Detach wheel shield from arm and attach it to the holder.
4: Flip front-plate over head and pull the back back over the shins, providing a seat for anyone to sit upon once the transformation finishes. The two tails remain between the pipes as an apparent decoration.
5: Fold the arms together (where fist meets shoulder on own side) to form side-plating, and fold shoulders in to finish the motorcycle transformation.
(And believe it or not, this took me a long time to figure out)
If anyone is willing, I'll happily accept a drawn series of the TF sequence, but I will not push it (as I lack the money, nor a credit card or paypal, to make a commission.)
I know she lacks the "bulk" needed for a real Transformer, but all attempts to add in more bulk than this took away from her visual femininity, and frankly, I wanted her to look good as well as look partially mecha.
