Everyone else was drawing something for TF Nation and I felt kinda left out… So behold… Galvatron!! I have no idea what he’s like in the Cyberworld show, but his toy is fun looking!

And here’s a CyberWorld Optimus Prime v2 to go along with the Galvatron I did earlier. I was gonna draw the infamous jumping pose, but at the last minute, I decided on the DWJ pose. Hope y’all like.

It’s like Rise of the Beasts… Inexpensive and you didn’t feel ripped off. Exactly the same. @waspshot23.bsky.social compared them to the Beast Changers from that line and I’ve got to agree. Those toys were also worth the $10. I had said I’d like to see them develop those toys more… And they did.

Just missing Chop Shop, Scorponok, Mirage and that G2 Megatron… And the last two are only because they’re not out yet. (Chop Shop is coming and I’m waiting on some sort of discount for Scorpy.) I think having most of them, I can speak with a bit of confidence… This is a really great line.

I love this Optimus Prime design! It is so different and fun of a departure from the usual Convoy-like designs we usually get. And other than the lack of elbows, nothing is compromised. (And they hid the hollow parts pretty well too!) Like Bumblebee v.2, this is a vast improvement over the first.

I agree. When they go traditional, like the first Bumblebee and Prime? It's kinda boring. But they nail that unique craziness that makes this fun when they go nuts, like Roadster Sky-Byte, Junkion Snarl, Motorhead Galvatron? It's great! It's not perfect, but I would LOVE to see this developed more.

2. I’m envisioning the series as an ongoing series of small 64 page one shots, with the occasional stand alone story here and there. Tone wise? It’s my sense of humor. If you liked Lost Light, Strange New Worlds and the 12th Doctor era… Well, you got my speed of things.

As a former librarian, it’s extremely common for a father to want to check on books for their kids. But it may not even be that. Many classic literature books, like the Hobbit, falls under the children book label. Technically a lot of graphic novels do too. Maybe this guy just wants to read X-Men.

Thunderclash: Gets it Together debuted at TF Nation this weekend and I had a part of it. I want about to post artwork from it before, because it was pretty spoiler heavy. But the book it out and the moratorium is over… And I can show off my art… And words! /1

Thunderclash flashbacks to his earlier years as Clash, under the command of Hyperdrive. The powerful Timaeus Drive malfunctions, exploding in front of Hyperdrive, Clash and poor Hotrider. Hotrider (and Hyperdrive’s arm) is blasted away in a surge of energy. Hyperdrive then sounds the alarm . Clampdown is still a dick as members of the Hyperion start to vanish.

Yeah, we probably did more with him than any official media… And he was around for less than a full page. 😜

I kept it in hand. Though I did change the alt mode from an Aston Martin to a Shelby Cobra because I’m a huge Gunsmith Cats fan.

Bit of trivia: The scene was originally for pages but I asked if I could extend the scene. And I also redialogued it too. (with permission from writer @drbrainstorm.bsky.social) I hope you like it. I’m gonna fuck up next years book too! (Again, with permission.) /2

Reality starts to fall apart as Hyperdrive and Clash meets up with Scorch. Clash is about to sacrifice himself when Hyperdrive knocks him the fuck out. Reality fails as color falls away. Hyperdrive bids farewell to Scorch and Clash. Reality breaks down to pencils and layouts. An escape pod launches as Clash watches his mentor and friend… vanish.

Pretty sure this is why Gen X tight rolled their jeans.

Why I’ve been a little quiet on the art front here. I’ve been working on something with some hyper talented people that I’m REALLY looking forward to talking about.

Hey… You could be like Pennsylvania and have McCormick and goddamn fucking Fetterman. They all suck, and honestly I am so fucking tired of these useless tools.

The largest readers of fantasy and science fiction were women. This is all empirical data, nothing scientific. But you’re probably not surprised by any of that.

The funny thing is when I was a librarian, a lot of men checked books out all the time… But they were almost always the same genre. After they get older, they became obsessed with political thrillers & WWII books. Cussler, Cobden, Larsson… Right down the line.

The Vig. This guy’s been around since before Gambit joined the X-Men, keeping tabs on him all these years. That means he’s witnessed some real shit and seen Remy do some amazing cosmic heroics… And he still wants his money.

4/ He leans down and says “if you put that back right now and never speak of this again, ESPECIALLY TO YOUR MOM, I will buy you whatever Transformer you want at the store. No matter how expensive.” So, uh… I got all three of the Insecticons. You can pretty much guess what that object was.
