i would love to live in this universe where hasbro does lady transformers as a “cash grab” rather than us only getting lady transformers when the fans vote for them

Transformers was the very last refuge for those who feel violently insecure and threatened by GURRL, but that refuge no longer exists. Sorry, assholes. You have to come into the light now. You can’t scurry back under the refrigerator like cockroaches anymore.
“In Transformers news, sudden sales downturn as Hasbro reaches out to girls and effeminate boys by occasionally featuring a mob boss Decepticon who transforms into a tractor. The reason for this sudden downturn? You guessed it, Frank Stallone.”
Hey hey! New solicits = new arts!

I got to draw up a cover for RID #2 and slap some nastay colors on yet another Nick Roche cover! [arent you guys tired of the pair of us yet?!!!]
So a while back I got to work a bit on an upcoming Leader class toy version of Ultra Magnus from IDW’s More Than Meets The Eye. http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generations-classics-44/generations-leader-class-ultra-magnus-with-minimus-ambus-official-images-182107/ Since the toy has been revealed, I got permission from Hasbro to show off some of my art for it.
Just to be clear, the overall design of the toy was already done, based heavily on Nick Roche’s design for the book. What I was asked to do was to sketch up what the interior cockpit could look like within the confines of the space they had available for it. I worked with Hasbro to develop it, and they sent my art along to Takara-Tomy to use for the sculpt for the final product.
The cockpit for Minimus Ambus inside Ultra Magnus functions a bit different than James Roberts and Alex Milne worked out for MTMTE, but personally I think it’s pretty cool that Hasbro took inspiration from the comics and even went to the trouble of using the concept of Minimus “driving” Ambus at all to be pretty darn cool.
I was thrilled to work on this particular project.
