While today still does not bring us the Botcon registration forms, the official Botcon homepage has updated with some new information – the Generation 2 Redux Box art! This artwork is for the convention boxed set that contains Autobots Spark, Streetstar, Decepticons Clench and Breakdown, and Predacon Sky-byte. Check it out by clicking on the link above or the title of this story.

I thought we already had this answer:

It looks like zero…. ZeroMayhem on deviantART

Yeah it looks like Guido to me, but as Pete said it's not him.

Love the box. G2 win all the way around.
If it's not Guido, I say Angie drew it.

You're not the first person to say so with such certainty. However, this is a quote from Pete on the club forums:
TwinSpin
Definitely Guido (unless I'm wrong, but c'mon, it's Guido)- I can tell by the solidity and blockiness of all the shapes – reminiscent of last years wings of Honor comic. I think what makes it hard to tell is the unusually rich and complex coloring job – which makes me think of movie posters from the late 80s. I love the way this looks & can't wait to get at least a nice hi res pic of this

Oh come on, I never said that. Just because I don't have a stupid disclaimer of "IMHO" or whatever doesn't mean everything I say I mean as fact. I said it, so naturally it's my own opinion. You'd think that'd go without saying.
I guess I've never liked Milne's artwork because, to me, it's pretty dull. Megatron: Origin and Spotlight: Arcee cemented that. Both were really lackign in any movement and on top of that, hard to distinguish what was happening because of the exsessive details, and the expressions on his drawign are always so dull. They either have this weird two-part face or a really unconvincing smirk that just bothers me. Plus he always draws hands really chunky. (though I shouldn't have said Pat Lee-like)
I don't mind Alex Milne as a person, I mean, I've never met him. But I have seen his art, and I know what I like.

While Milne has done some nice work, I prefer this to most of the stuff he's done. I think this is a really dynamic and nice piece of art.

Aww what happened to not spreading the hate man? Oh right, I keep forgetting your opinions are facts
I dunno where you're seeing any of that in Milne's work, he may have worked with Pat Lee but he wasn't influenced by him, he was educated elsewhere and has his own style. I don't know how you can constantly spout that "dull or generic faces" crap when this box art has more then anything I've seen Milne do…it's a hell of a lot more natural then this junk with the background characters jumping around for no reason

Garish G2 colors, hell yeah baby! Forget the 80's, it's the 90's that are back.

Want it

I really like the box artwork, not sure about the toys though…
Auto Morph
I like it. Not a fan of the G2 colour schemes overall, but I am all for this set (if only for the molds).
PoweredConvoy
I figured it was Guido Guidi.

Looks like they are inside a halidron collider. If so, there's some good plot point potential with black hole creation and whatnot.. also could just be a tunnel.

Automorpher
I like it!
Josh
looks kinda Zero Mayhem-ish but i cant tell. cant get a good enough look at the art
either way, its appropriately garish!

Hmm, your guess is as good as mine!
