TF FC Dreadroad [WIP]

Well... since I feel like it's taking me forever to finish her ref, I figured I'd throw some simple colors on the sketch and submit it and then just replace it with the finished thing.
I have intended on drawing a back view, side view, close-up of her optics, weapons and her alt mode (with and without wings). It might take a while, but this WIP will suffice in the meantime.
Her bio is a WIP due to some minor changes, so the full thing will appear once her ref is finished.

I might do something like this with a few of my other TFs, specifically some with a "bigger" role and those of whom I have already submitted a WIP of.

Designation: Dreadroad
Nicknames: Dread, Commander
Age: 27 (if human)

Height: 20' (6.1 m)
Alt mode: Cybertronian flying car
Earth alt mode: (Flying) Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 Super Veloce
Gender: Femme (female)

Sparkmate: Starlight

"Don't you dare underestimate my abilites to lead a team, I have deserved my rank."

Faction: Decepticon
Function: Commander, saboteur (occasionally)
Rank: 8

Personality: She demands obedience in her team and doesn't tolerate disrespectfulness against herself or any of the others and she demands full loyalty from her subordinates. If you violate these demands - you're out of the crew. Once or twice, she has actually killed off a subordinate due to them trying to overthrow her and take her place as the Commander of the Enigma.
She can't take it when someone mocks her and takes it as a great insult whenever someone does. However, she usually can control her anger so it won't take the upper hand of her and cause her to make big mistakes. Mistakes is the last thing she wants to do.
She's extremely loyal to her superiors (except if you happen to be named Starscream) and does everything in her might to complete all orders to a 100% - even if it almost kills her. Loyal to the Decepticon cause, even though she sometimes doubts Megatron's more recent objectives.
She is extremely stubborn and seldomly backs out from a fight. Tends to back off a little when she's outnumbered to be sure that she can, reluctantly, escape if it becomes obvious that she won't have a chance of getting away alive if she stays too long.
Manipulative when needed to, she can get under your skin and make you do things you usually wouldn't - even attack someone you care about.
Becomes extremely sarcastic or gets a snarky attitude when angry, irritated or annoyed.
Despite all of this, there is a far kinder side of her that few ever get to see. She can be surprisingly loving and caring of those she holds dear and no one knows this better than Starlight.

"Oh for the love of Primus, shoot me..."
(When someone in her team has made something incredibly stupid.)
