Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye artist Alex Milne has shared his designs for the Decepticon Justice Division by way of UK fansite Full Metal Hero. Here we see is his concepts for Helex, Kaon, Tarn, Tesarus, and Vos. We'll be seeing more of these guys this week when Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye Ongoing #7 hits retail shelves.

We need toys of these guys, STAT!

Appears to be, as it's the same in the comic panel previews. Not sure what the artist was hoping for, but it comes across as being out of place to me, like a Photoshop error, as opposed to being part of the character's design. Love the grinding chest cavity, though. Certainly shades of movie Devastator there.

Looks interesting. Is there a reason why the characer Kaon is the same name as the Decepticon city?

I'm pretty sure they're all the names of Decepticon cities. Maybe they were assigned the names as their jurisdictions, or maybe that's where each member came from. Maybe something else... no clue. Heck, they could be code-names to hide their real names. (all the good ones are taken)

Very cool designs and I love the fact they have alt modes that are used for torture in some way or another.

Quick question, why was the #7 preview pulled from the front page the other night? I'm pumped for the next issue.

The preview was accidentally posted early. The IDW previews have embargo dates, they aren't supposed to be posted until the Tuesday prior to the book's release. In other words it will be reposted tomorrow morning. Other sites that posted the previews early are in violation of the embargo date.

Agreed. It sucks that there aren't any alt-mode images as I'd really like to know what Tarn and Vos transform into. They're all pretty badass designs either way. A good, mixed, and really dark bunch. Definitely think we'll be looking to the 3rd parties if we ever want figures of these guys.

I'd like to second that. I was fortunate enough to read it before it disappeared, but I'm intrigued as to know why it did.

El Duque just answered that: http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/alex-milne-transformers-mtmte-decepticon-justice-division-concepts-t88225.php#p1403437.

They're not supposed to reveal previews until Monday at midnight.

I really like the Tarn design, but I think Vos gets most of my love.
A Decepticon sadist who is also a linguist?!

No worries, I thought it might have something to do with that.
