TF MUSH Characters
Last updated: 5/1/08
Rescanned Bullet 2k5, added updated Bullet.
This page has images of the characters I've played on various Transformers
MUSHes (Multi-User Shared Habitat, a text VR thing). Mostly of Channel.
Images are copyright Dave Van Domelen on the date of drawing.
Transformers MUSH Characters:
- Bullet: My Transformers 2005 MUSH character.
Almost, but not quite, a workable transformation. 5/18/95, rescanned 2008.
- Revamped Bullet: Bullet as he might have evolved
had I kept playing at TF2K5. 3/29/08
- Cowl: Started to really try to get workable
transformations designed at this point. His vehicle form doesn't look like
any real vehicle, but I think it looks cool anyway. Later used as a
Decepticon character on The Lost Years MUSH. 1/12/95
- Cowl Kitbashes: Also accessible
from the Repaints page. Made a transforming Cowl out of Space Case.
- Cowl-chan: Cute little Superdeformed Cowl.
Scary thing is, his eyes are really that big compared to his head. Note that
the Decepticon symbol doesn't really superdeform well. 5/15/99
- Channel: My second character on The Lost Years, this one's an Autobot.
- Robot Mode: A drawing of the robot mode that I
did using a basic drawing program. 3/29/99
- Info Center Mode: Not much of a
transformation, eh? Another computer drawing. 4/12/99
- "Decoy": Mostly scratch-built from plastic
pieces and putty (including Testor's Contour Putty, which isn't worth
bothering with...too goopy, too slow-drying, too brittle). I used a spare
Valkyrie VF-1J head turned backwards with a face built on it for the head,
since I wanted to be sure of decent symmetry in the head. Scanned in at
double size, the actual size is 2.25" (6cm), a bit taller than regular
decoys. The upper legs turned out a little skinnier than they're supposed to
be. 4/19/99
- Chan-chan: Superdeformed Channel. 5/15/99
- Animated Icon: A six frame GIF animation of
Channel transforming. Note that I changed his altmode a little since the one
done last April. 1/25/00
- Headmasters Crash Altmodes: Neale Davidson used
the basic idea of Channel in his fanfic scripts for Headmasters II and
Headmasters Crash (aka Masterforce II). Channel is a triplechanger in this
universe, and in HMC has modes of an airlift helicopter and a rescue van.

- Another Channel Drawing: Actually my first
serious hand drawing of Channel. 2/17/02. Rescanned 4/17/06, at which point
I finally realized that the Autobot symbol on his left shoulder is on the
wrong facing. Oops.
- Hand-drawn G1 Altmode: Finally made a serious
drawing of the G1 version's altmode. Note that the shoulder symbols retract
to show secondary viewscreens. 4/17/06. Drew this for the More Than Meets
the AllSpark project, click here for a low res
version of Channel's page.
- Armada Channel with Tuner Mini-Con: My Armada
update of Channel turns into a big-wheeled yard tractor, like a monster truck
version of Huffer, while his Mini-Con partner becomes a dune buggy with radar
dish. Vehicle modes of both. 8/12/02 and
8/13/02.
- Cybertron Channel plans: Not a full drawing,
just some design sketches I worked out in early August 2005. Maybe I'll
flesh it out someday.
- Channel as Flash: One of the AllSpark
regulars did an homage to a JLA/Avengers cover using fan characters in place
of the Avengers and JLA, and he put Channel in the place of the Flash. So I
drew Wally West in a costume based on Channel. 3/30/06
- Super Robot Channel: Channel re-imagined as a
Go Nagai-style Super Robot. Purple background splash added digitally. Inks before some tweaking with a new pen. 2/27/07.
