A standout in my memory though was a Dreamwave cover showing Jazz through a ventilated Insecticon. The Jetfire vs Sunstorm cover was memorable too, but I think that's just because it had an unusually (for Transformers) superheroey feel to it.

Yeah, thats a cool one
Can you post the Jazz one you reffer to?

That's an iconic cover, but I've never been a big fan of it. Giant Optimus squishes Starscream while Gears flies in front. Meanwhile, Ronald Reagan's disembodied head floats in the background laughing. Nightmare fuel!Seibertron wrote:These would have to be some of my favorites ...

TF UK #1 got a much cooler cover:
The toy look is extremely fun when it helps Transformers feel alien. See: Man of IronSeibertron wrote: I'm surprised that I'm not that keen on that cover because I absolutely love when the Transformers are drawn in their toy styles instead of their animated models. For whatever reason, it's one of my favorite art styles of vintage Transformers (i.e. Find Your Adventures Junior Novels have some of my favorite Transformers art of all places).
Maybe it's the age gap and I have years of nostalgia behind that book. My first Marvel TF book was issue #4 which my Dad bought for me at Perry Drugs in Michigan, back when comics were on those spinning comic racks that you rarely see.

I agree with this, especially once I find out that it's an homage cover. One of the more popular covers, the Megatron with Reflector Joker rip-off cover, has always been one of my least favorites for the very reason you mentioned above. It's not original.

IMO the best comic cover featuring Unicron, ever. Unfortunately, the story didn’t live up to it.
