New TF/Avengers Image

CounterPunch · Post by **CounterPunch** » Fri May 18, 2007 6:59 am

Hey, I know there is another thread like this further down, but I figured since this was a new image it deserved another thread (as alot of people might ignore the old one, thinking its someone just adding conversation)

This is an IGN exclusive image

Got to say, I'm looking forward to it alot, not the best rendition, but pretty damn good!

Interesting that the artists decided to go with the Escalation (etc) character designs, rather than use the G1-esque or original character designs, as used in other Transformers crossovers (like GI Joe and...uh...GI Joe). Neat idea, though - even if it has very little to do with the main continuity, aside from appearance.

Wow that is really nice. The faces of the TF's look odd in general though. Prowl looks especially bad. Apart from that it's one fine picture!

I'm really impressed. That would make a great wallpaper.

The artist's tried to tidy up a Pat Lee shot...

(Comparison pic from Josh.)

Bigger problem: the others are all the same size as Prime.

Assuming Pat Lee really illustrated the original.

what? too obvious?

I'm sorry....

Given their positions relative to each other, Prime would be smaller than the others!

Nice one, though

Ugh.. I don't find it appealing to look at at all.

The artist is relatively good at drawing humans, but his limited grasp of perspective really shows through his TF renditions.
The colouring really saves the day.

lets just hope cap can stay away from megatron when he transforms into a gun.

How so? He's at the front.

If there were a fish-eye camera lens being employed, sure...

Artistic licence. Damn, who issues those?

(Just had a real good look over the image. Prowl? Prowl with that face? Crickey. And Jazz looks pretty miserable, too. And OP has been on a diet... I ain't even gonna comment on the back view of Wolvie...)

Mmm. His hips seems to have... dissolved...

Is Prime doing the classic playground motion for "revving a motorbike" or something? Will there be a caption saying "Mem-mem-mem-MEMMMM" to go on there?

I always thought the Avengers were the K-Mart Super Freinds.

it's damn eerie the resemblance between the Avenger Prime and Pat Lee Prime.

Or perhaps he has seen the piccies of new movie Screamer and wishes to perform The Time Warp in a similar manner? Hur-hur-hur....

It's supposed to be set in the IDWverse, but like not at the same time. Somewhat confusing.

Mmmm, last issue reset-button goodness...

"...under penalty of torture."

Op: "Captain America, I'm sure our team-up will have a massive effect on both our universes..."
Ironhide: "Prahm, wake up, c'mon Prahm, thur Derceptercons are attackin'"
Op: "Mmm? Hmmm? Wrsinfhk? Ah, Ironhide... call the Avengers to back us up!"
Ironhide: "The who?"
Op: "So... it was all just a dream."

M'eh, personally I'm going for a World War 3 stylee "universes briefly combined by some ****ing nutter" rip-off.

Yeah, I'm certainly hoping the PR about this being "canon" for both universes is just whoever writes the press releases getting a little confused.
