Another BLT work from me.
Lol this I had to do for the lols. A friend of mine who also grew up with the movie said that for some reason he couldn't help but see the constantly angry looking electro magnet as female.
It's kinda hard to see it, but if you look hard enough I guess you can see some femininity in him/her.. mostly in stills images though.
Anyway an idea blossomed where what if the magnet, ruler of the junkyard, had a 'chosen car' that she for one reason or another found a liking for and pronounced as her boyfriend lol.
Imagine you're the car. You've got this psycho killer magnet that's sent dozens of your kind to the crusher, and here you are spun into this crazy situation where this deadly magnet wants to snuggle up to you and take out on what can only be described as 'dinner dates.' A girl that if you show the smallest hint that the feelings are reciprocated, she may break down into a fit of rage and send YOUR ass to the crusher!
Honestly it was pretty fun to try to make such an obviously evil looking character and present a softer looking side of him/her ... lol poor gender confused magnet. I tried to imply that she 'prettied' herself up using things that she could find around the junkyard and could get to without having arms. Such as some old cans of red paint she found, spilled over, and rubbed her face in to make lipstick, and a trashcan that she rubbed in the same paint before crushing under herself making it blow out into the flower-shape. I'm assuming she's sticking it to her head by magnetizing a slight bit. Oh and I just HAD to try and get that 'hair in the face' look by making her lower her cables down over her face. XD
