I Just Found the TradePaperBack of Beast wars "The Gathering" and low and behold in the back pages I find something unexpected but very excited about. Much like the TPB of War Within, there are Alt sketches in the back. Now, the Magmatron one's we've seen, the new one are of Manterror (Praying mantis) as a Cybertronian Canopied Motorcycle? And Injector (Tree Frog) as a Bi-Pedal Walker with acid nozzle (think AT-AT? From Star Wars) Now as great as these are there are A LOT more Transformers show as Cybertronians, Dont they get any love??

Don I'm asking yah, Looking at your designs it looks like you design their Alt the same time you do their bot, If so Mind showing off some sketch's ? PLEASE!

*Seen Sketch's*
(BWtG Cybertronian characters seen)

Magmatron- Seen (sub, tank, jet)
Razorbeast- NADDA (motorcycle???)
Manterror- Seen (two wheeled Dragster?)
Injector- Seen (AT-AT for the most part)- with springy legs
DrillBit- NADDA (Driller *duh*)
Transquito- NADDA (Helicopter)
LioConvoy- NADDA (CatTank)
BigConvoy- NADDA (not a clue, Tank?)
KillerPunch- NADDA (no clue, still love the mold thou)
DeadEnd- NADDA (Comso-like flying saucer. Or a mono-wheel)
Iguanus- NADDA (Couldn't even guess)

Thoughts, comments Don I'm looking at you!



Oh and one more thing for those intrested on How long the "Improved" Titanium Optimal Optimus design has been around, Since BW comic was a concept, or at least since the BWtG TPB was concieved.

Lio Convoy is still a Lion, but has a 3rd "attack" mode.

Nice, Pretty much like all the Kitbashes Japanese bashers have been spitting out. Any info of the other dwarfs?? aka Other Pre-BW Formers seen in the comic.

does it have any bonuses like line art for the characters ala war within
