Superior Bulldog Bat

Fun Fact: the Greater Bulldog Bat can produce sounds up to 140 decibels, making them the loudest bat species and 3rd loudest land animal on Earth. They're also experts in using soundwaves for echolocation.

This one's probably the most shamelessly G1 since Bee. Colors were a pain again, but I managed. Soundwave's primarily blue and white, but this kind of bat's mostly orange and greyish-purple. Something very Earthspark/Prime about these colors. The transformation was actually really fun to figure out. Originally, I had him transform sideways like Beast Wars Megatron; one wing against his back, one wing folds up into his tape deck, but I'm trying to keep these as close to the G1 transformations as possible, and that other way would make him unable to use his wings without leaving his tape deck open, so I scrapped it. Now, the tape deck is his beast mode's back legs and tail, his robot legs are the bat's wings and sides, his arms are the bat's back, and the head forms Soundwave's shoulder cannon. I didn't think to design his cassettes, since I'm not including side stuff like weapons just yet.

Also, the Predacon badge is total BS to draw. Screw that thing.
