The next word for inktober is “sweep.” I ranked my brain for something interesting and rejected thing after thing. Then I thought of street sweepers. I could do a hyper accurate drawing of one. Then it occurred to me that I could do a Transformers street sweeper.

So I went to go look up what the Transformers street sweeper looked like and get some good references to work from. Except one problem. They never made a street sweeper? How? It’s a piece of road equipment that has excellent espionage abilities. Kids love heavy street equipment. How had they not done a street sweeper transformer?

So now I had a mission. Create the missing transformer. I looked for 1980s street sweepera and found this 1985 FMC Vanguard 3000. A gloriously not box shaped three wheeled machine.

This transformer isn’t technically accurate but it gets the idea across.
