    Sweet! I haven't seen Santalucia's art since "Spotloght: Blaster." Good to see he's still making concept art for Tf pitches.

    Yet another instance of unlicensed figures getting advertised in official works? Or does the fact that this stayed as concept art disqualify it ;)

    Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed we didn't get a Leader Shockwave (or a Leader Galvatron) , as well.

    Well, they've done Megatron, Armada Megatron, Soundwave, King Starscream and two of his fellow Seekers and the Phase Sixers, so perhaps, one day.


    I thought they decided to go with Sunstreaker to give him a bit more name recognition (and maybe retain the rights to the name).

    Thanks to the new RID, his 'brother' Sideswipe is becoming a bit more famous amongst the younger generation. I did expect Takara to do a UW version of the red Autobot, though.

    Now I'm thinking that I'll have to hunt down that Perfect Effect set.

    Much better than what we eventually got. Hope they make the ones for the beast Combiners a lot better than the CW feet (I like them as hands, though)..

    I was waiting in the hopes it got knocked off. It's about $25-$30 now. I still don't like Menasor all that much.

    One could not notive that Thundercrackers wasn\'t on cybertron during CW or that Ramjet was long dead too...
    BUT
    Why is Shockwave in this? even if it was concept they must have known the previous plot twists, like dark cybertron a year earlier?
    And Quintessons, the last time we saw them was in monstrosity???

    By that logic why was shockwave and the technobots in the toyline?

    This is concept art for hasbro not idw so for toys not comics

    Because it's artwork. It's doesn't have to be accurate.

    Gorgeous artwork for that matter.

    Maybe. But there seem to be many elements in common with the CW Machinima (ending).
    there are small differences the most noticable, a quintesson and alpha trion instead of Strascream
    BUT
    I'd focus on the shared elements, Alpha Trion is shooting some beams form his eyes into the sky.. and above his head .. some sort of dimensional portal... Different interpretations of early drafts maybe? claiming artists were unaware of comic events is meh..

    The shared elements are there, this is just hasbro purposely discrediting the comics (by messing with lore) to tell the kids that characters that 'died' can still be played with (and thus bought)... .. wtf... yes lets create another multiverse, ok lets take a selfie, ok close the window...

    edit'
    wasn't it hasbro that started selling toys with spotlight idw comics? just sayan
