Tanatron - Transformers OC

Tanatron - Transformers OC skin description

This is a skin based around one of my made-up Transformers characters. This guy started life as an honestly-poorly-done repaint of a legion (small) size Megatron figure I made when I was younger. The repaint was mainly sand/tan colored with some copper and dark red, but I added more varied colors to the character (not the figure, maybe someday..) to spice him up. I never could come up with an actual name for him so I just nicknamed him "Tanatron" (Tan-Megatron). It's cheesy, I know, but it stuck to the point where trying to call him anything else just felt strange! :P Tanatron is one of the most loyal and hard-working Autobot soldiers you could find. He follows any orders given as told, and won't give up until finished. Unlike the traditional "tank" archetype shown by individuals like Warpath and Brawl, he doesn't fight for the fun of it or because he loves causing mayhem; he merely fights because it's his job. He is also not a "dumb brute" as some might think upon first meeting him; he is very intelligent and a decent strategist. Unfortunately Tanatron doesn't do well with tasks outside of his combat role. When off duty, he tends to just hang to himself waiting on the next command to arrive, and doesn't care much for mingling with others. When he is on the battlefield, though, he is a good ally to have, and a bad enemy as well.
