Artist Extraordinaire Nick Roche, the man responsible for the art of Maximum Dinobots, as well as introducing Kup into the IDW Comic series through writing and illustrating Spotlight: Kup, has been a busy man, constantly updating his blog Nick Roche is a Bad Man since his sojourn to Australia.

While not overcoming his fear of Spiders, Nick has mentioned in the same blog post of his adventures in Far-Northern Australia, about his work on an issue of the All Hail Megatron Coda which will again have him focusing on Kup, which he feel is a nice change from his work on the Maximum Dinobots series.

The very next blog update contains a photobucket link to some of Nick's inked lineart from Maximum Dinobots.

And last, but not least, Nick's latest Blog Update contains information pertaining to Nick's artwork for sale, including all his covers for the Transformers: Revelations series, as well as the variant cover for Infiltration #1, all in A3 print format.
In addition, Nick is also offering to take on commissions, head on over to Nick's Blog for full details.

Does IDW realize at this point that All Hail Megatron has become a joke among most readers as a bad series? Why drag it on? It's nearly ruined IDW Transformers comics as far as I can see.

In your opinion. I love AHM, and I know other Transfans that feel the same way. Hack, it even pushed me to pick up Roadbuster Ultra Magnus.

Okay, I have to hear this story. How does reading AHM urge you to buy a Roadbuster Ultra Magnus? I don't see the connection, but maybe I'm missing it.

I admit, sometimes I see things other people don't too. Reading All Hail Megatron made me want to watch the A-Team, as Kup and team reminded me of them.

Well, as far as Animated goes, I've been desperately trying to limit my purchases to my favorites, including the movie bots. I've got Blurr, I'm looking for Wreck Gar, I want Arcee, and I'll leap at Rodimus Prime (provided they make him).

Seeing Kup ride Roadbuster the last couple issues made me dig up my UK comics. The way I see it, Roadbuster Magnus will be part of my movie bot crew, as well as being one of the core members of the Wreckers. Plus, if we ever get a new Kup, I can have him ride him into battle.

So... yeah. I'm sold next time I spot him.

Well now I am excited for AMH Coda, Anything IDW can get Nick to draw is an instant buy for me.

I also am going to buy some of his artwork as well.

Here's hoping that things can get straightened out and that AHM turns out to be all just a bad dream...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I like, and support, AHM. Not everyone dislikes it, nor is it a "joke" among all readers.

Sweet, one of those A3 Hardhead prints is coming my way.
:grin:

Love that art, and I think it's quite interesting even for non-transformers fans.

Plus Hardhead was way cool in the IDW comics, and I reckon his toy was one of the best of the Headmasters (aside from Fort Max).
