    Cliff Rathburn, best known as one of the artists of the exceptional zombie comic series The Walking Dead, was at Comic Con doing zombified sketches of any character you could name. So I asked for Optimus Prime, naturally. Initially he wasn't quite sure how to zombify a robot, but what he came up with turned out pretty awesome, so I thought maybe some of you guys would like to see it.

    Pretty damn cool. I love how everything's sorta falling off the one side.

    But this belongs in fanart.

    That's pretty badass. I'd love to see a TF zombie spin-off series someday.

    Kind of looks like comic G2 Prime getting eaten up by the Swarm.
