magmatron:
It mirrors that Wreckage cover perfectly!
DrLee:
It also screams the Bethlehem sequence as well... Hummers, Ironhide and Minigun-weilding soldiers
artiepants:
wow, that is super nicely executed.

So apparently issue 1 is about Sector Seven, and issue 2 is about NEST?

I think that the NEST unit troops are assigned an autobot to their Squad, or something of the sort. I think Ironhide commanding a recon squad would just kick ridiculous ass.
Beastbot X:
Nizzi is my new favorite "official" TF artist. That guy is just freakin' amazing.
Railguard:
Hey can someone pm me some info on this Obominus character.
thygriever:
wow, nizzi... is freakin awesome

I thought the same thing! When the TF movie showed Ironhide dropping off Josh Duhamel's character, I thought maybe that was where they were going. But, then we see Ironhide meeting back up with Op at the end.

Still, nice idea. Seems like the Military would need some sort of Autobot liason.
Bgrngod:
What the hell? Unicron looks exactly like Megs.... I feel ripped off. And how the hell is he going to fit that whole thing in that tiny little mouth?

artiepants:
the Megatron cover, isn't it an homage to something? i swear i can almost see it in my mind, but can't put my finger on it...

who is that 1st robot in the drawings/art
Fit For natalie:
Wreckage, from the first movie's toyline. He was an early concept design that was dropped from the first movie.

In terms of fiction, he has only appeared in IDW's movie comics.

SPOILERS!





He was seemingly killed, but it seems Sector Seven found him (and that he's been working with them in some capacity - it's part of the reason they know so much)
spica:
AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!! (faints)

Seriously, that guy never dies
DieMaus:
That Megatron cover is incredible. It encapsualtes everything I came to love about Movie Megatron's look, and gives us one of the most eye-popping Cybertron's I've ever seen. A fantastic bunch of pics!
SmokescreenGT:
The Megatron cover kicks so much ass I can't even describe it. Awesome stuff!
Takara_destron:
So much awesomeness.
Faust:
looks like those S7 guys have been hanging out with the wrong crowd.
Bahamut Prime:
BADASS! Very awesome indeed!
Brave Magnus:
O_O F@CK! those covers are amazing! The last one with MEgatron its just breath-taking.
salmonman78:
damn, looks like I need to hit a comic store to order all the ROTF goodness

excellent art, gonna be rotating them on my desktop
GENOZAUR:
anybody here have any theories on how megatron will come back from the dead?

my guess is that at some point in the past megatron had soundwave create a backup copy of his living mind when megatron was still alive with soundwave resurrecting megatron by downloading that living copy of megatron's mind into his lifeless body with a allspark fragement itself being used to relight/megatrons spark
SPLIT LIP:
Man, have I ever said how much I LOVE movie Megatron's design? This cover is gorgeous.
GENOZAUR:
What the hell? Unicron looks exactly like Megs.... I feel ripped off. And how the hell is he going to fit that whole thing in that tiny little mouth?

i think your thinking about that scene from beast machines where it showed beast machines megatron reaching out with his arm holding planet cybertron itself in his hand

i am pretty sure they showed a scene like that once ,maybe twice in beast machines throughout season 1 and 2

Mr_Joshua:
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.
WWMEGATRON:
cool !!!

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...
Triggerhappy:
that is STUNNING work : )

well done !!
thygriever:
okay, he needs to draw prime next. He apparently makes everything look 1000x meaner and cooler so I just wanna see my prime!
Rijie78:
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.

I agree the work is sweet, and I noticed the bumblebee wings/doors missing too
Railguard:
The cover looks great!! It makes the movie all the more attractive!
Trainwreck:
THESE LOOK AMAZING!

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