It was only few hours ago that Jose Lopez introduced himself to the Transformers Community. It seems that David Hartman has followed suit. Updating his DeviantArt page Mr. Hartman said…
“I’ve disappeared from posting stuff for quite awhile now. I have been working on a very tight-lipped show as both the supervising director and art director. Well I am now allowed to announce that the show is…TRANSFORMERS: PRIME
…for Hasbro studios. I can not answer any questions now but I will speaking at a panel at the San Diego Comicon along with character designer Jose Lopez and executive producers Alex Kurtzman, Bob Orci and Jeff Kline. Please come by and check out the new show we have been working so hard on…
This will be the one day I am at the con and will not have a table this year so please come by and introduce yourself after the panel or if you have a copy of my artbook I would be happy to draw a zombie in there.”

He's a director, and it's a kids show. I wouldn't worry about that happening.
Besides, it's hardly 'dark'. It's played up for comedic effect: he drew Bubba Ho-Tep, for god's sake.

Not sure what they saw in his Rob Zombie gothic and bloody dark artstyle that they thought would be perfect for transformers, personally hope that style doesn't bleed over into the show unless its some battle scene.

Maybe we'll get zombie Transformers from him?

I was thinking the same thing. Been following him on DeviantArt for a while, and was surprised to hear he's involved. I'm getting more and more curious about this show!

Really???
I've followed his work on Deviantart for a while and he's not who'd I'd expected to be involved with Prime.
Nice surprise though.
Personally I thought CHeeks may have been involved again given the look of bumblebee, but then he was involved in Animated and the designs were changed quite drastically from his concepts.
Still I'm looking forward to seeing Davids involvement…but with him involved if we don't see some full on zombiebot action I'll be disapointed

Doesn't look like he talked much…not his fault though, if you can't reveal anything, you can't say much.

Looking Good!
