If it weren't for the explosion star in the background, it would look as if Bumblebee was simply flying apart gently in quiet wind. He's standing perfectly straight, giving no sign that the bullets and tank shells slamming into him have any kinetic impact at all. And what's Flint doing in the foreground? Directing traffic? And that tank barrel up at the top left - what is the tank itself standing on?
A crossover that epic deserved artwork that was equally epic, and frankly much of the art across the entire comic series was sub-standard.
That tank barrel is probably supposed to be just really high in the air like 9-12 ft and extending over the viewer's head, like the tank is kind of behind the camera view position and to the left a bit, and the barrel is coming in from over the shoulder at that height.
That said, some of the late comics when the budget was running out from marvel era did have some terrible artwork, a few were so sketchy you could barely tell what was happening toward the end.
