    Its nice to see those designs, Jazz' alt.mode is sweet, I'm not crazy for the robot mode but I do like the car.

    Jazz looks awesome in both modes, but I especially love the car. He'd make a good Animated Smokescreen repaint if they ever did one. Just change the head. Magnus and Grimlock both look cool, front and back views. Grimmy is very G1-ish which I like. I also like how they put Magnus' rocket launchers on his back. And thankfully, Magnus isn't just a repaint of Prime. He's his own 'bot for a change. :thumb

    Yeah, Magnus hasn't really been his own bot since RiD. This stuff looks good!

    I agree. I know it isn't likely to happen, but I wish that when stuff like this surfaces, someone other that just your average private collector would buy them & then scan them so that they can be shared by everyone.
    ...especially since besides being pretty interesting to look at (as most of the other comments in this thread show), they make for great reference.

    God I love stuff like this.

    The standout images for me are Prime in his complete truck w/ "trailer" mode, and the full shot bot modes of Slag, Sentinel Prime & Ultra Magnus. I'm also really digging that size chart - seeing exactly how much bigger Bulkhead is compared to the other Autobots and how huge Megatron is compared to everyone else. Very cool.

    Why does sentinel prime look like the Tick?

    Other than him having the same voice actor (as the cartoon Tick), I dunno. :) 

    One thing I'm likin' in these is the "how to Transform" diagrams, presumably so the animators can do it consistently (when not using a zip-blur type TF). wish there were a few more of those back in the G1 days.

    He doesn't. The guy that voiced The Tick is actually voicing Ultra Magnus.

    Easy mistake since they kind of look the same at first glance. It would have been terribley ironic *if* he did voice Sentinel though. :)

    Actually, Feralstorm is correct. Townsend Coleman (voice of The Tick) does voice Sentinel Prime. Magnus is voiced by Jeff Bennet, who also does Prowl.

    Ah, fair enough. Guess the info I originally read had the voice actors flipped with the characters they play on Animated. Thanks for the correction.

    So I guess that does make the irony of Sentinel looking like a robot version of The Tick ever more... well... ironic. :)  I thought it was weird enough that Bulkhead looks so much like Broadway from Gargoyles since they have the same voice actor, but this one totally trumps it.

    I'm sad some of the drawings are too small for me to see.

    Hopefully better scans surface eventually, 'cause I love this stuff.

    Who's the truck with the plow on the front? It looks mean.
