    Not too sure about this one.... I'm not a fan of the art style this one leans towards (i know I'm a minority there, but I much prefer the IDW or Megatron Origins style) but I'll have to wait and see. No complaints about Decepticon-centric story lines.

    Reminds me of old Nazi propaganda posters. Looks menacing. If I cared about IDW's comics I might pick this up ;)

    I think the style is even more directly reminiscent of Communist propaganda posters... particularly the way the reprinted Seekers make a pattern. I believe the specific style is referred to as Russian Constructivism, though it looks a lot like Deco as well.

    I thought those were pretty awesome when I saw them too... there aren't many TF images that I would willingly wear on a T-shirt, but these are some of them. :)

    I really like this poster. There's just something about it that attracts me, I can't quite put my finger on it...

    I love the art style, hopefully the plot will match the quality art.

    Well done, you nailed it on both counts.

    Nick and Trevor did a brilliant job combining a few influences but Deco and Constructivism were exactly the influences Trev aimed for when he pushed Nick's original artwork even further.

    They're talented chaps.
