    Thanks guys! I'm really looking forward to showing the next covers - my favs.

    BTW I saw a trailer for the crew at the wrap party last weekend. It was really awesome. I can't talk about it of course but I'll let you in on one thing: there were explosions.

    GENOZAUR: Perhaps this cover shows a dream sequence, or a flashback, or maybe its all misinformation!?

    Alienbot: I'm pretty sure thats one of his outfits in the film.

    maybe, i've only seen a tiny bit of BM though ~ i was thinking maybe an old Marvel cover with either Unicron (or it might have even been Galactus or something...) maybe i'm on crack, just seemed really familiar with the light coming up out of the planet where the fingers are.

    could be it's not an intentional homage at all and it's just reminding me of something unrelated, evil guy holding a planet isn't really that original at the basic conceptual level...

    okay, he needs to draw prime next. He apparently makes everything look 1000x meaner and cooler so I just wanna see my prime!

    Nice piece. You can tell from the style of finish on this, and the other covers, that the guy's working in concept art. As always, Cybertron's such a tiny planet tho, amazing how well defined it's architecture is from space ;)  Still, it's a case of what works for the image.

    It's also good to see more reasonably-drawn people than is usual in a TF comic, even if it's just covers and not interiors... The benefits of employing concept artists, once again. Usually TF artists are obviously great at robots, but bomb with anatomy & proportion; which is a drawback for a story (especially when it's human-centric) set on Earth IMHO.

    THESE LOOK AMAZING!

    Man, can somebody make a really tight 1920 by 1200 Wallpaper with one or two of these covers on it?

    Josh Nizzi, you are absolutely amazing and you are rapidly becoming one of the best TF artists in the history of the franchise. Nobody can draw the movie TFs like you can. They really look like they were plucked right out of the movie. I don't know how you managed to reproduce the movie style so incredibly faithfully (way more than any artist I've ever seen), man, you're really something!

    On a sidenote, I wonder if these "Revenge" Alliance/Defiance prequel comics are going to reveal any of the film's new characters? The IDW prequel series in '07 revealed many of the characters in the first film months ahead of time (in Feb./March '07 I believe)...

    SKowl: Thanks dude! But I think there were more talented guys than me working on the film. :) 

    Also as far as the covers revealing new characters - yes and no. haha.
