We've been admiring the work of Brendan Cahill in IDW Publishing's Transformers: Robots in Disguise of recent, but were you aware of the excellent prints he will have on him to sell at BotCon 2014? Check them out below, ranging from Purple Decepticons, Knightformers and some Windblade action and Ultra Magnus righteousness (with some colouring help by Josh Perez).

Can never have enough TFs in capes.

And that Magnus is just plain awesome. Although I cant help but think that should be Scourge instead of Shockwave on that first one.

That works then. That is my favorite version of Shockwave anyway.

Swindle, no!!!

Could've went with more range character-wise with the purple-themed print, like Ratbat or someone in Cyclonus or Galvatron's place. It's really weird having 2/3 of a trio be the classic Unicron minion trio.

I like how the plant-life and even the ground is mechanical in the knight pic.

Nice to know Fuunsaiki is still getting work after Mobile Fighter G Gundam went off the air.
