[英语课(×)]听孩之宝设计师Sam Smith说：蜂鸣SS巢穴部队碎骨魔&救护车开发幕后
开始周末的最好方式之一是一些新的变形金刚出现，特别是当它们给我们的团队带来惊喜的时候！我有几个项目要分享，但我们将从N.E.S.T碎骨魔开始。
SS-95BB N.E.S.T. 碎骨魔
现在你可能会问到，“等等，这家伙怎么回事？电影1里他不是死了吗？在堕落者的复仇中N.E.S.T成立之前已经死了？”我在电影中亲眼所见！
为什么他会成为一个巢穴部队的汽车人出现？那是因为他在伪装！至少这就是我们为这个项目设计的这个角色的合理性。
虽然在电影1中，碎骨者在与擎天柱的高速公路之战中被击败，但他的角色在堕落者的复仇的沙漠之战中再次出现，所以在某种形式的连续性中，他仍然在NEST计划的开始阶段出现。
碎骨魔的车辆形式作为一个有执照的水牛扫雷车是一个完美的部队运输工具，所以当我们正在寻找可以让他们为这个领域工作的伪装形态时，碎骨魔上升到了首位。
在设计这个角色的配色时，我确实想保留他作为一个霸天虎的象征，但也许他是在为威震天执行侦察任务。在他车辆侧面虚构的序列号翻译成“威震天万岁”，隐藏在他备用轮胎之下的霸天虎标志也会在变形过程中暴露出来。
这一部分的调色板非常有趣，主要依赖于灰色和黑色的不同色调。它还提供了一个机会来重温碎骨魔的车辆模式，并着重采用了许多在最初版本中没有使用的地方绘制的细节。你会在这个车辆模型上发现更多的灯，以及机器人模式上一些复杂的机械细节。
总的来说，我在这个家伙身上花了不少功夫，在产品里加入一些故事的内容是一种有趣的想法，即使它的唯一目的是帮助我创建一款重涂。我希望你们都和我一样喜欢他，但是一定要让我知道你的想法！
SS-96BB N.E.S.T. 救护车
在寻找这个项目中的角色时，救护车可以说是完全匹配。作为一个救援部门的悍马H2，他作为概念款悍马HX加上电影中使用的H3T已经展示了很多相同的车辆美学。有了碎骨魔身上建立的调色板，我开始制作SWAT小队版的救护车。
角色配备了他在DOTM中使用的爆能枪，这似乎是一个更适用于此的配件，救护车全身采用灰黑色调，有很多新规的细节涂装，以确保他的观感不同于以前的版本。
类似于碎骨魔，我试图在这个版本中用漆面点亮更多的车灯，同时在机器人形态中加入一些漂亮的机械细节。
除了救援单位侧面的NEST徽章，你还会在他门上的序列号中找到一个熟悉的数字移印。
“FD681 SR43”指的是“Fire Department 681”和“Search and Rescue E4”，这是他在前三部电影中使用的各种伪装形态车身的识别标记。
这个项目非常有趣，我希望将来有更多的未登场的工作室系列角色表现机会。
你觉得这些角色和这个NEST项目怎么样？让我们在下面的评论中讨论一下吧！

One of the best ways to kick off the weekend is with some new Transformers drops, especially when they come as a surprise for our team as well! I have a couple of items to share, but we’ll get started with N.E.S.T. BONECRUSHER.
Now you may be asking yourself, “Wait, Isn’t this guy a deception? didn’t he die in Movie 1? Before N.E.S.T. was established in Revenge of the Fallen?” You betcha! So why is he showing up as an autobot clad in NEST colors? Because he’s in disguise! At least that’s how this character was justified as we planned him out for this program. While Bonecrusher does get defeated in the highway battle with Optimus Prime in movie 1, his character reappears in the desert battle of Revenge of the Fallen, so in some form of continuity, he is still around during the inception of the NEST program. Bonecrushers vehicle form as a licensed Buffalo Mine Sweeper is a perfect troop transport, so while we were identifying alt modes that might lend them selves to work for this segment, Bonecrusher rose to the top.
While establishing the deco for this character, I did want to ensure that he remained a deception, but perhaps he was doing a reconnaissance mission for Megatron. His fictional serial number on the side of the vehicle translates to “ALL HAIL MEGATRON” and a deception logo that is hidden behind his spare tire gets revealed during transformation.
The color palette for this segment was a lot of fun to work in, and it relied heavily on varying shades of grays and blacks. It also provided the opportunity to revisit Bonecrushers vehicle mode, and highlight a lot of painted detail in places that were not utilized in the original release. You will find a lot more lights on this vehicle form, as well as some intricate mechanical detailing on the robot mode.
Overall I had a blast working on this guy, and it was a fun deviation to work some storytelling into the pack, even if its only intent was to assist me in creating the deco spec. I hope you all enjoy him as much as I do, but be sure to let me know your thoughts below!
Ratchet felt right at home when looking for characters in this program. As a service body Hummer H2, he already shared a lot of the same vehicle aesthetics as the Hummer HX concept and the H3T used in the films. With a color palette established on Bonecrusher, I set out to make the SWAT team version of Ratchet.
Armed with his DOTM blaster which seemed like a more fitting accessory for the pack, Ratchet is clad in all gray and black tones, with a lot of newly allocated deco to ensure that he felt different from his previous releases. similar to Bonecrusher, I tried to get a lot more of the vehicle lights to be illuminated with paint in this version, along with some nice mechanical detailing on the robot mode.
Along with the NEST insignia on the side of the service body, you will also find a familiar numerical badging in the serial number on his door. “FD681 SR43” which references to “Fire Department 681” “Search and Rescue E4” which were his identifying markings from his various vehicle liverys used in the first 3 films.
This program was a lot of fun to work on, and I hope there are opportunities for more fictional studio series expressions in the future. What do you think of these characters, and this NEST program overall? Lets discuss it in the comments below!
