Found this on Google Images: http://gijoe.wikia.com/wiki/Optimus_Prime
Colour errors asides, quite like the art. Anyone know the source and penciler's name?

I'm doing guesswork here, but if it's in the G.I. Joe series, then it's either Herb Trimpe (Generation 1) or Chris Batista (Generation 2).

Waiting for a more knowledgeable board member!

Let me do some searching with this clue: the image is tagged "Marvel 140"

And found it! US Issue #140 is part of the G.I. Joe crossover series in Generation 2, this particular one is penciled by Chris Batista, inked by Chip Wallace, and colored by Bob Sharen.

do you mean GIJoe #140???

Because the US Transformers marvel comic books never made it to 100 much less 140

but you didnt specify in which tidal.

not to mention that when you said "US Issue #140" it implied a Transformers book because back then the tital GIJoe was on ly used on the US releases of the book.

In the UK and other nations names like "ACTION FORCE" were usede.

We will be reaching #100 of Transformers soon though!

if you consider the books trully connected :-$

Eh, Sto? The Action Force comic eventually renamed itself "G.I. Joe the Action Force" and then just "G.I. Joe" later.

The change came immediately after Marvel Transformers UK issue #245.

In fact, it was in that Transformers issue, rather than in Action Force's own comic, that a story was published in which the European Action Force team (led by Flint) and the American G.I. Joe team (led by Hawk) officially joined together as one united team, and all issues of the Action Force comic from then on were titled "G. I. Joe the Action Force". Later, the "the Action Force" part would be dropped to leave it as just "G. I. Joe".

UK and U.S. series are different continuities despite sharing some events between one another.

Just like how the UK and U.S. Transformers comic series are separate continuities despite the UK continuity sharing about 95% of the U.S. continuity's events.

They're still both considered "G.I. Joe" comic series.

that wasnt my point.

my point was that they way his post was worded, it sounded like he was saying the panel came from the US Transformers book #140.

and even if fans consider the early Action Force books as GIJoe, it technically did not carry the name till #245.

It's still part of the greater G.I. Joe brand, being a comic series for the G.I. Joe brand.

Playskool's four-episode Go-Bots cartoon doesn't have the word "Transformers" in its title or show (at all), yet it's still considered a Transformers cartoon due to being a part of that overall brand.

not to sound rude, but again that has noting to do with my point.

this is the post I originally replied to....

the way this is worded reads as if its saying its part of the US TF comic run #140

Well, knowing where the U.S. TF comic ended, I don't see how one would think the sentence would be referring to the TF comic, U.S. or UK regardless.

now your nearing my point.

Even Now , not everyone is aware of the number count of the US run, heck, even I dont automatically recall the exact number count of the UK run,

So, when I saw the misleading post I asked for clarification.

Would you two like a room?

Just out of curiosity, what is the Marvel UK run count?
A friend of mine is letting me borrow his TPBs today, just wondering how long it'll take me to get through them.
