    Anyways, if anyone remembers my 20 Years of Starscream pic, this is pretty much in the same vein. Next to Prime and Megatron, I don't think there has been a Transformer with so many incarnations. See how many you can spot. :D 

    And even though I have no intention of altering this in anyway, comments and crits are appreciated.

    Great piece man!
    i really like this idea of a retrospective.
    congratulations on winning you deserve it!
    I guess if I had to critique something I would say that the winged bot in the bottom left corner is a little awkward. Somehow he's placed strangely in a really nice composition.
    OK, maybe if his feet were off the bottom of the paper he would work a little better. Maybe a little larger too like he was in the foreground more. As it stands no one's being cropped by the bottom of the paper. It would anchor that corner and he might look more like he is "flying". I guess no one's really cropped by the paper so to fit that many in and make it dynamic is an accomplishment in itself.
    I really like the overpass and how it crops diagonally across fire chief's foot. That really helps draw your eye in.
    Energon prowl and his tires are cool.
    My favorite is RID prowl and the little racers on the street.
    I could look at this for hours...

    Nice work (as usual), and congrats on winning!

    At first I was thrown off by what I thought was Armada Red Alert until I remembered the Sam's Club repaint of that figure as Prowl. Prowls-a-plenty!

    That is simply beautiful. I loved the Starscream pic, but this is even better because I love Prowl more than Starscream. Great job. :thumb 

    Although I noticed that Energon SWAT Prowl appears to be missing.

    One question though. Mini-Con Prowl is in the picture four times. Is one of them the Micron Densetsu X-Dimension repaint?

    As far as the SWAT Prowl goes, I couldn't fit him in anywhere. Call it poor planning -_-' And yes one of the Minicons is the X-Dimension repaint. Just look closely at the lines and you'll see which one it is. :D

    The effect on the RID Prowl going from regular to supah-mode is a real nice touch, KS.

    Fine work indeed. Congrats. :thumbs2: 

    Can I request you do a Grimlock one next?

    You could have combined him and E-Prowl. :p  Eh, but I kid. It's still awesome, even if one Prowl is missing.

    It's the one on the street with the Smokescreen-Prowl, right?

    Jaw-dropping just about sums it up. Supreme work, KS - didn't realise there were that many Prowls, either! :rock

    Good Lord, it's glorious! you even put in the black (or is it the white?) variant of TM2 Prowl! And having RID Prowl changing into supermode is just genius. Talk about killing two birds with one Prowl! :p 

    Like someone else said, I could look at it for hours.
