Markatron's character development commentary:

Subject: Armor Moon Racer (Moon Racer + Turbo Wolf)

When I designed Armor Moon Racer, I wanted to create an animal partner based on her name-sake. In fitting with the theme of racing, my mind went to the tech specs of G1 Mirage. It had mentioned him "hunting turbo foxes". I imagined that would be a fast creature.

While I entertained the idea of a "Turbo Fox" partner. The "Moon" aspect of Moon Racer colored my decision to use a wolf instead. This is more fitting because "Transfans" may already have a concept of what a Turbo Fox should look like. This way, I could come up with something fitting as well as do my own take on what it should look like.

Wolf head folds down over her chest. The "mane" wraps around her neck like a fur coat. Foreleg vents cover her chest and the BM-Cheetor-like wings stand over each "clavical". Hind legs form cannon as the covering armor becomes Moon Racer's shoulder armor. Shoulder armor provides numerous vectored thrusters for space movement and short jumps. Turbo thrusters mount on her back and the wolf's wicked back spike combine with his tail to form her sword.
