'I am the something strange in this neighborhood.'
On Cybertron, field work was completely foreign to Specter. He's an academic specializing in the study of sparks. Specifically, he was the galaxy's leading expert on mutant sparks - those capable of operating independent of a robotic shell. On Earth, field work is Specter's top priority. Partnered under the orders of Optimus Prime with four paranormal investigators, Specter has been able to see first hand how his academic study can be put into practice. Aiding these men has opened Specter's mind regarding the nature of the spark, and the similarities between organic and non-organic life. Additionally, his allies Spengler and Stantz have been able to make breakthroughs in their own work based off of Specter's research into the spark.”
The approach here was the same as I do with my other Transformers - LEGO city scale vehicle, upsized Kreon robot mode figure. Tried to follow the same pattern by thinking through what if it was a real Transformer, where would all the car parts end up? And how would the show interpret that as a character design? And then how would I translate that character design in LEGO?
Thinking about doing a series of these – 80s vehicles as Transformers characters that never were, but could have been in other franchises.
