Autobot Blonde Bomber

She transforms from robot mode to A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog). This form is very powerful. Her weapon load outs include a wide variety bombs, missiles, surveillance pods, counter-measure pods, and fuel tanks. Her primary weapon is her gatling cannon which can be armed with drained-uranium tipped shells or plasma bolts. Carries two ammo belts with each type of ammo.
Weapons expert. Can be trusted to arm herself when given a mission. Has an armaments hangar all to herself where she lays out her weapons and equipment. While not the most ordered person, she puts things "where she can find it". So don't re-arrange her hangar.

Blonde bombshell

She is especially adept at taking out armored columns. Electronic countermeasures and her weaving through the air makes her impossible to target. She'll dish out thousands of rounds into an armored convoy. The results are always devastating!

But dispite her powerful form and lethal duty, she's still a light-hearted and playful individual. Enjoys flying around buzzing buildings in Sister City. She enjoys barn-storming in bomber mode. But she takes her job seriously. Her bombing runs are very precisely executed. Her strafing runs are thought out ahead of time.

Usually operates with a group of bombers supported by fighters. But she is an in-your-face frontline combatant.

Designing Blonde Bomber. (pencil).
She was going to be called "Bombshell" (as in blonde bombshell) but of course, that name is already taken.
I also vacillated between an A-10 Warthog or B-1 Bomber. I chose the A-10 since I just couldn't pass up the GATLING CANNON! Also PowerGlide just didn't do this bomber justice.
Early draft of Blonde Bomber's pose. (pencil).
As you can see, I liked the bottom left sketch of BB enough to use this as her pose. The gatling gun is a bit big. This is due to more artistic intent more than just perspective.
I also really wanted to show her long flowing locks. The wind whipping her hair brings this out nicely. How can a robot have hair? Well, it's an influence from earth. Before this, Transformer females had pretty solid helmets. But some of them liked hair. Whether it be fine wire or fiber optic (imagine soft glowing hair?), BB just loves her shiny blonde hair!
Final drawing of Blonde Bomber. (CG enhanced pencil)
This came out rather nice. Her rounded features really allow for the "reflective stripes" I've added.
The wing on our left (her right wing), her farthest-out weapon slot is not loaded. This is because her ECM pulsator is rather heavy. Her other wing has been fitted with missiles. In robot mode, over each shoulder, each wing exposes two machine-gun cannon.
