Autobot OC- Airlift

Description

I had ideas for other Transformers besides Detonator, and- probably getting another good look at the TF's from the EWW Age of Extinction video- I got in the mood to finish one that I started. I'm still not certain on this character design though... her vehicle form is a helicopter; like a police or news chopper; nothing heavy duty.

I shall now make an attempt at backstory: Airlift was an Autobot medic- hence the nonviolent name, until she was captured in the aftermath of a Decepticon raid. Rather than send her to the  prisons and interrogation like the other captured Autobots, Shockwave decided to use her as one of his test subjects. He was testing cannon arms to replace his own arm, but he didn't want to have to constantly test them firsthand, so he'd violently and painfully amputate Airlift's arm, graft his newest prototype to her, and send her off into a maze of mindless Decepticon drones, promising her freedom if she managed to fight through the troops and escape. Of course, he'd always have a trap rigged so that she'd fail even if she did make it through the goons. Under trial by fire, Airlift's combat skills improved until one day she managed to escape and also rescue the other Autobots imprisoned in the facility. Now she's a powerful front-line Autobot soldier, with an extremely powerful Decepticon prototype cannon still serving as her arm. Her hope is to someday repay the favor to Shockwave.

And if that all sounds stupid or doesn't line up at all with any TF canon, feel free to ignore it and just look at the picture. I'm just spit-balling here; I gave her a Decepticon arm so she'd look less generic.

Now I have an Art Trad with Josh and a request from another deviant that I should start on next.
