Magnus Render is literally just a repaint of Optimus Prime. he is the true face of the mighty Ultra Magnus (before he died. then a sadist took his body, made it into armor, and forces tiny guys like Minimus Ambus to wear it) shockwave created 14 ores and shot them around the universe to be used in his evil plots. nyeheheh. didja know?: Shockwave was originally a senator (much like Ratbat. how he was? i have no clue.), and then a guy decided it would be good to tear him apart and rebuild him as a sadist who ends up taking time itself and chaining it to the wall upside down as he smacks it with old rusty velcro before waterboarding it in boiling tar. point being him and Optimus Prime were buddies at one point. weird.
i know they dont look the bes (especially Shockwave... agh...). Because of that, i am drawing them in a new and improved style. because ets face it: the more to scale i try to draw these, the less awesome they look.
