Silverbolt-Blackarachnia human

Description

as in my Botanica and Rattrap human version, here I bring my interpretation of Silverbolt and Blackarachnia in human form. This was made because someone in LJ asked me to draw them xDDD

The idea haunted me, though, but was harder than drawing Sprouts and the Vermin; *shrug* it seems I had troubles getting their personalities into their facial expressions :/

Silverbolt reminds me of Xanatos now that I look at him... and Webs reminds me of Elisa Masa O.o; distuuuurbing... xDDD

Background:
Silverbolt:
Among the Maximals, he was sort of a contrast to Dinobot (who embodied Predacon honor, similar to the samurai code of bushido); Silverbolt embodied the Maximal version of honor which was like the chivalry of the medieval knights, which sometimes left his teammates feeling befuddled, annoyed, or amused at just how seriously he took his ideals. Often, a cheesy horn theme would play whenever Silverbolt said or did something heroic, sounding somewhat like an English fanfare for the Knights of old. Silverbolt was slow to anger but never backed down from a fight. Rattrap often called him "Bird Dog" and, at one point, called him "Sir Drools-a-Lot". Waspinator often referred to Silverbolt as "Doggy-Bot", and Blackarachnia often called him "Bowser", "Jo-Jo", and/or "Rover" in a tone that was often both mocking and affectionate at the same time. Silverbolt himself didn't seem to mind, and generally let whatever criticisms people made of him roll off his back as if he were oblivious to it. Silverbolt fell in love with Blackarachnia, and had charmed her into grudgingly falling in love with him at the end of season 2; when Rattrap made a derogative remark about Blackarachnia, Silverbolt threatened to harm him brutally.
At the start of Beast Machines, Silverbolt was captured by Megatron and his spark extracted, later to be used in the Vehicon General Jetstorm.
Eventually Rattrap invented a device which combined a spark extractor with a DNA scanner he planned to use to restore transformers into their bodies. Blackarachnia stole this device and together with the organic core of Cybertron and a nearby fossil reformatted Jetstorm into Silverbolt, now a technorganic condor.
Unfortunately, Silverbolt's mind had been fully aware and conscious whilst Jetstorm was active, and the fact that he'd been able not only to commit such atrocities but also enjoy them had left him with a darker personality, no longer as close to his beloved as he had originally been out of mixed-guilt. Furious, Silverbolt would attempt to kill Megatron after the megalomaniacal dictator tried to sway him back to his side, with the Blackarachnia having to knock him out to get him away. After this Silverbolt was willing to do whatever was necessary to defeat Megatron, clashing with the rest of the team on several occasions, particularly the impetuous Nightscream. After Megatron's final defeat, Silverbolt's old, chivalrous personality seemed to reassert itself. Despite his deep personality change, he still appeared to be there for some humour.


Blackarachnia:
During the Beast Wars series, she was originally a Maximal protoform, but her stasis pod was captured by the Predacons and was fitted with a Predacon shell program and reprogrammed by Tarantulas as a Predacon spy and saboteur. Her beast form is a black widow spider. Blackarachnia proved as ambitious as any Predacon, with no loyalty to anyone save herself.
Blackarachnia officially switched sides in the first episode of the third season when Megatron attempted to change history by killing Optimus Prime, a change which would have resulted in Blackarachnia and the other Maximal protoforms never being created, or even existing. Although still calling herself a Predacon (and not yet changing her activation code), she worked on the same side as the Maximals from this point on, even though none of them besides Silverbolt fully trusted her.

Blackarachnia was one of eight characters to survive Beast Wars and go on to the Beast Machines series. At this point, she underwent a sort of "role-reversal," and she spent a great deal of time looking for her love Silverbolt and freeing him from his Vehicon alter ego: Jetstorm.


If you ask me... I liked them better in BW:

Silverbolt (to Optimus): Sir, I'll be fine! I can-

Blackarachnia: Shut up and obey your commander, bone-brain!

Silverbolt: Yes, dear...


sketchy because... I'm sketchy xDDD *hides*

Very nice.

Something interesting while rewatching Other Visits Part 1 (probably my dozenth viewing as I love the series) and made a discovery that I just never seemed to notice, after Megs takes back the Alien Disc Blackarachnia tells Megatron that reinforcements are coming and he tells her they will return to base as they have no time for maximals and Blackarachnia then says

Blackarachnia: Duhh when do we ever, except maybe for that hunky silver....(she then shakes her head realizing what she is about to say and looks abashed)


So which means Blackarachnia fell for Silverbolt first, so by Bad Spark she already had romantic feelings for him, she fell for him first. Which now knowing that now explains some of their interactions in the episode including the fact she was very tolerant of him bringing up several times that she was a maximal protoform or when she played damsel in distress when falling down the cliff to help him get his wings to work again I simply assumed she just really liked him.
