First Four Pages of Dreamwave's Unfinished Transformers #11 Revealed

Posted on 03-19-2010 at 07:59 AM by Tim Formas
Comics
Transformers-Dreamwave-Comics-Issue-11-Page-0 Transformers artist Don Figueroa has updated his deviantART page with the first four pages of what would have been Dreamwave Production's Transformers #11. The issue was never released, as Dreamwave ceased operations in 2005. These pages once surfaced on the web a few years ago, but the host site no longer has the images up. The pages illustrate that Issue #11 would have started with the development of the Autobot Moon Base on Cybertron and the continued development of the Quintesson/Fembot story.

Check out the inked versions of these pages by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.

Shane McCarthy Blogs About Upcoming Drift Mini-Series

Posted on 03-18-2010 at 08:03 PM by Tim Formas
Comics
transformrs-drift-mini-series-idw-issue-1-cover Writer Shane McCarthy has updated his SMAcTALK blog with some additional details regarding the upcoming Drift mini-series that he will be writing for IDW Publishing. Along with glowing praise over the art from Alex Milne that he has seen thus far, Shane provided the following details regarding the story:

The mini series, as you would expect, deals with the origins of Drift, how he became a Decepticon and why he eventually decided to leave their ranks. Along the way we’ll be introduced to an exciting new angle to the IDW Transformers universe and learn just what’s up with all of those swords (especially when you could just have a good blaster at your side).

The four-art Drift mini-series will be a bi-weekly comic book, premiering in August.

Don Figueroa Transformers Concept Art Gallery

Posted on 03-17-2010 at 07:31 AM by Sol Fury
Comics
Bludgeon_concept_by_DonFig Transformers artist extraordinaire Don Figueroa has updated his Deviant Art account with a five page long gallery of Transformers concept sketch goodness! Don's update runs the gamut of his various Transformers related concepts, from unmade Classics designs like Cosmos and Hound, and Transformers GI Joe Crossover designs, through his designs for IDW's Stormbringer miniseries, right up to date with the concept artwork for the ongoing series featured on the variant covers of the ongoing and much more besides (like a look at Menasor from the ongoing series!)

Of interest also is a pre-Stormbringer concept of the Decepticon Bludgeon, shown at left, which is very clearly the main inspiration for the recent Revenge of the Fallen Bludgeon toy.

Check out all the images by clicking here to visit Don's Deviant Art Gallery.

What is your favorite image from this update? Which designs from those tagged as "unused concepts" would you like to see revived and given some love in toy form? Discuss all this and share the love for Don's excellent work on our 2005 Boards by clicking on the Discuss button.
