Does her copter mode work in space? Like, can she only fly in space while in robot mode since her blades wouldn't have any air to spin in the empty vacumn? Or does she have like thrusters that allow her vehicle mode to maneuver even in space?

Extremely cool design, I love the Decepticon Seekers but its still cool to see a non-jet based flyer like Mischief here, she looks like loads of trouble for friend and foe alike.
She's Blade's sidekick, but how she get along with other members of the Cons like Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, Thundercracker, etc?

the was i was kinda thinking with her is that she'd be a bit of a handful to anyone else within the ranks, but if blade orders her to behave and fall in line, she will. not that she'd like it.
i had a lot of fun designing her. still working out how i want to use her in a fan comic that i plan to finish...eventually. lol

Did you ever read GI Joe Master and Apprentice? There were 2 volumes, dealing with Snake Eyes and Storm SHadow's apprentices. Snake Eyes had this girl, Ophilia, whom he was training. Everyone thought that he was sleeping with her, even thought he thought of her as a sister, and it ended up costing him and Scarlett their marriage. Then on her graduation, Snake sent her into a base, and Firefly cut her throat out. She dies in his arms and Snake Eyes lost a sister twice. Years later Kamakura, Snake's new apprentice, went to take on Firefly for Ophilia's death I think. Only Storm Shadow was involved somehow that I don't remember, and he didn't want to fight, because of what happened to him.
In M&A Vol 2 Storm Shadow was training his own apprentice that I don't remember the name of. She was totally devoted to him (reminding me of Mischief, thus spawning this entire sortied tale) They fell in love, and she got kidnapped by the Red Ninja Clan and brainwashed into the Demon (or something), swearing to kill Storm Shadow. They fought, she wounded him, and he only stayed her blade by begging her to remember their love. SOmehow she fell off a cliff, and he thought she was dead, but at the end of the arc it was revealed that she wasn't, and she swore vengeance upon him.
Food for thought as you play with Mischief. I figure she's going to eventually get it into her head to take care of Beamer for her master. But knowing Blade, he won't be too pleased. Just a guess. XD

oh! very good point. i actually have both of those tpb's... they're two of maybe 4 gi joe books i own actually. lol (i really like the art in them actually... that's caselli's stuff right?)
that storyline would provide some great inspiration/background for playing with this character though. i like it.

TM2DB In reply to WillMangin [2010-08-11 05:51:52 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, don't use it as a straight rip, but more as an inspirational jumping point. Though I do think that something similar to that one episode of Batmas TAS where Harley captures Bats for Mistah J and he beats the crap outta her for it could be cool. Though that would go more to showing Blade/Beamer's relationship than Blade/Mischief. Well, maybe both. XD
Though if Mischief /does/ get the drop on Beamer, I'd love to see Polaris save the day by beating the slag out of her with that wrench. heh

There should be more, much more, helicopters in TF than there are. I like the way the blades form insect like wings hanging down at the back. Would be a nice touch if she could use them as swords, but that has been done before I guess.
The "garter" style leg tops are a nice touch, subtle and kinky at the same time.

WillMangin In reply to pittstop [2010-08-09 03:32:02 +0000 UTC]
lol she can use them as swords actually. i'm pretty sure i put that up there in the comments section. the rear rotar also turns into daggers... which i figured was a little different for a helio tf. most of her alt mode parts actually detach and become weapons or... they're already weapons that just get repurposed for her bot mode.

As I said on the other one, much love on that design! Woo copter! I like how it all fits with her weaponry too!
Femmebots = <3 at any rate, I love how you draw them! And from her personality? Greatness and total Decepticon. But then, that's pretty obvious...so blarrrghs. Really hate I have nothing better to say, ugh. Friggin' late, late, late!

Really cool character.
I've often wondered what happens to characters like this when they lose or damage their weapons.

WillMangin In reply to WindChargerNut [2010-08-08 05:19:49 +0000 UTC]
they go crazy... or pretty much don't use their vehicle mode i suppose.
i suppose it would be similar to a car bot getting a flat or even losing a wheel.

I like helio TFs...mwahahaha...
I really like her design tho, and her alt mode, looks more like an Apache to me...the helio needs to be a lil skinnier for a Cobra I think...(I had 'em on the ship, if you want some photos for references I can help ya out).
Funny tho, I was gunna come up with a Cobra TF too...was gunna make TFs out of all the aircrafts on the ship, the Cobra one I had was gunna be named Tex after the badass chick from Red vs Blue heh. But didn't get around to her, I only did Typhoon (Cheese) the MH-53 Sea Dragon and Warlord the CH-46E Sea Knight...they were gunna be in CJ's posse...
CJ - It's not a posse...
Gang?
CJ - No...
Well they're yer homies, aren't they?
CJ - They're my shipmates.
Same thing...
Anyways, I really like her design XD (see have a visor or no?)

WillMangin In reply to MaximumOverdrive [2010-08-08 03:28:41 +0000 UTC]
true true. (but it only has two rotary wings instead of four! jk) i really only scribbled that up there for the sake of my own reference. when i do a more cleaned up profile type sketch, it'll look more like a cobra! promise! XD
i actually did briefly consider an apache... i see them all over the place here since i'm at an army base. when i started messing with the design, i decided it was too bulky for a femme character and went with the cobra instead. though really... going back to that whole conversation we had before about subspace and all that, it really wouldn't matter on a tf i guess. lol
there really aren't enough helicopter tf's. i remember the MH-53 i think, but i don't remember you're CH-46E. that's what my brother works on. XD actually, he wanted me to do one at one point to use as nose art or something. i never got around to it. i should really do that.
anywho, thank you! i've got another pic of her coming up as soon as i finish coloring it. it kinda goes along with all the other fancharacter doodles i've posted recently. oh and yep... she has a visor.
beamer - i... kinda have a posse
huh?
beamer - you know... those weirdos that are always following me around. aren't they my gang?
yeah...gang. posse... whatever.

MaximumOverdrive In reply to WillMangin [2010-08-08 06:57:13 +0000 UTC]
Not really, I never finished a lot of my bots that I had planned lol, like the rest of my biker gang. I had a full body sketch of Warlord going but didn't finish. His props would've hanged from the back of his shoulders down, and the left shoulder would've been bigger cause the back prop area is larger than the front.

WillMangin In reply to MaximumOverdrive [2010-08-08 08:27:29 +0000 UTC]
well crud. i'd love to see the rest of the guy. i could be imagining it wrong, but the props kinda sound like they'd make a cape sorta thing from the shoulders. they would cover up his arms right? (i didn't know the back prop was bigger on those things)
i'm trying to work out some designs i've had for a long time but never finished myself. ya know i've got a all tank tf gestalt? "blasticons"... i never actually put them on paper, but had them all in my head and they're even in the only two fanfics i ever wrote. lol go figure.

MaximumOverdrive In reply to WillMangin [2010-08-08 17:16:38 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, the props would kinda made a capeish look to it. And it's not so much the props are bigger in that the back end that holds up the props is bigger cause it has to hold up the back props higher than the front ones.
Yeah, sounds like me too lol...I also have a TF named Jetblast who turns into a Harrier (the jet). She was supposed to be like a gf for Steelwing, but I haven't drawn him in a long time either.

Make her one of the new Venoms then >.> Jk lol (they're basically new Hueys)
See? I do make good points sometimes! <.<; Yeah, I have to use the excuse of EDSS for some of my bots' transformations...that way my brain doesn't explode tryin to figure out where everything goes...unlike Blitzwing who does a great job at that...he should design toys.
Coooooool...can't wait to see 'em! (I have new stuff, but no scanner as I'm doing my 2 weeks of reserve duty right now).
So...is Beamer's name actually beamer? TFs must have a different set of grammar rules...<.<;

*blink* yeah. beamer's name is beamer. what in the world did you think it was? lol he's been beamer magnus before...but that was a LONG time ago. actually i actually had him as a bigger vehicle for that even (an SUV). it's a long (and somewhat lame) rp story.
waitaminute... a venom would be too big too. ;_; if i went smaller, i'd go with something like a kiowa actually. but given how i've designed already with that square cockpit in her chest, i'd probably stick to something like a cobra or apache... or that german one that's kinda like those. a tiger or something like that.
yay reserve duty? XD

oh. does it seem like i miss all your sarcastic jokes lately? what's up with that.
ironically, back when i did it i used magnus as a rank... except it was in reverse of how animated did it. prime was the leader and magnus was a commander (like the fact that ultra magnus originally was a city commander.) basically, beamer gets the rank of magnus, becomes the leader of a group called "the legion" ... rules the chatroom at bigbot.com... sorta.
so... it's curtains for you huh?

MaximumOverdrive In reply to WillMangin [2010-08-08 06:54:58 +0000 UTC]
Yer Magnus sounds similar to Convoy...how I view it anyways...I see Prime as being head honcho of all TFs ('Cons just don't like to listen obviously), and Convoy is like the next rank down, and are usually in charge of somethin big...like different planets the TFs live on (Nitro Convoy in charge of Speedia, Flame Convoy in charge of Animatros, etc). That was my thoughts tho
I know, kinda sad huh? But I guess it's better than goin to Guam...12 hr time zone change or somethin...messes with ya for two weeks lol

a float out to guam sounds like crap. unless you fly out there and just two weeks there and come back. either way... yeah. sounds craptacular. XD

Yeah basically. Tho those ones didn't have a Prime, but I like mixing the various universes together.
I would've flown out there, but yeah, been there once, not much to do unless you like scuba or something. Then again, not much to do either lol
