It is produced by Warner Bros. Animation with animation provided by the Japanese Studio 4°C.

These characters are mainly anthropromorphic visions of a variety of animals.

The only characters that are not OC’s are the Tiger-sharks.

WHAT IS TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED?Transformers Animated is an American television series based on the Transformers toyline owned by Hasbro. It was intro-duced in late 2007 and ran for three seasons. It represented a fresh, new look and take for a Transformers themed series with its own separate continuity and its colorful myriad of charac-ters.

These characters characters presented are existing characters in the Transformers Universe that have not appeared in the show. These are merely my interpretation of what they might appear to be if they were introduced into the series

PROJECT BRIEFIntroduce characters concepts of existing nameplates in the Transformers Animated universe and have them fit closely to the Animated style as possible. These are not original charac-ters.

Characters presented in order are the PROTECTOBOTS, the AERIALBOTS, and the COMBATICONS.

WHAT IS TEEN TITANS?Teen Titans was an American animated television series about a fictional group of superheroes that ran from 2003-2006. They are considered similar to a junior Jus-tice League, complete with their own tower and exciting missions!

What was neat about this series was that it wasn’t afraid of taking risks, introducing anime-like humor as well as delving into darker story lines. It was received very well and ran for five seasons.

PROJECT BRIEFEnvision existing characters in the opposite gender, while maintaining their essence.

WHO IS BLUE BEETLE?Jaime Reyes is currently the third incarnation of the Blue Beetle, a fictional hero in the DC universe and first appeared in Infinite Crisis #3 (Feb 2006). He was created by writers Keith Giffen and John Rogers, and artist Cully Hammer.

I chose the Blue Beetle to be featured in his own show because I felt that he is a great role-model for children and could potentially be DC’s version of Spider-man, extremely popular and relatable. I really enjoyed his charater in the Batman: Brave and the Bold Series.

PROJECT BRIEFCreate “incidental” and existing characters for a poten-tial Blue Beetle Cartoon.

This Project is currently ON-GOING.
