any transformers fans here?

I met a local artist who draws for IDW Transformers comics. I had him do a few sketches for me when I see him at cons, but decided to do a full pen and ink cover recreation. First let me say, I love transformers, comics, Star Wars, and tons of other geek type stuff, so I was THRILLED to get this done. Its a recreation of the original Transformers #5 cover from marvel comics. Its always been my favorite cover of the series, and to have it done in a "modern" transformers style, just BLOWS my mind!

Original cover from 86

Thansk to Robby for hooking me up, it was well worth the wait!

awesome I love it.

Thats really cool.:OI was born in '82 so yup I grew up with Transformers,along with G.I.Joe and TMNT ;)
Two of those three have movies coming out this Summer! Yup I'm thinking it will be a nostalgic Summer of 2009. I just realized what a nerd I sound like... Meh, Oh well :D

The first comic I ever read was a GI Joe. Very fond memories. I love transformers, although I watched the tv show, had the toys, more than the comics.

That's an awesome piece of artwork, congrats! It's always super to get something unique like that!

I love transformers I never watched the show but I love the movie

Great work. I grew up watching the show and playing with the toys. I'm really looking forward to the next movie.

He did an awsome job and it's cool that he did the new version of shock wave :gj: Was shock wave the dude that transformed into like 6 different things? One of toys was a pain in the neck for me to transform when I was little because it changed into so many things :rolleye2: It was still cool though :D

Big fan! I used to love going shopping with my brother when a new one came out that he wanted. Nice artwork!

jeff ill tell you what I bought a bumblebee toy for my son after the movie came out and I sat down for 15 minutes trying to get that thing to change lol and I couldnt figure it out. So I bought a car that changes its self for him lol That stuffs confusing

That's awesome! We just saw the Transformers 2 movie preview yesterday and it looks fantabulous!!!!!!! Can't wait to see it! Thanks for sharing!
