After yesterday's Devastator concept lineart from IDW artist Andrew Griffith for Machinima's Transformers: Combiner Wars animated series, we also have another of his designs - courtesy of his Twitter account - for a gestalt character: the fan-made combiner Victorion, from the Torchbearers/Rust Renegades team! Check out our gallery of the toy here, and a review of her first appearance in IDW right here, then compare Sara Pitre Durocher's concepts to the art by Griffith below.

I have the feel of the Underbase Saga. Old SS is gonna get the "hives" from being ODed with the enigma and explode in the end. Or see Jeebus aka Primus at the end of the tunnel and repent.

Except it was extremely obvious what Starscream was up to and plotting in the Underbase Saga, what with all his asides that made his plans perfectly clear to the readers. In that story, there was no lying to the audience.

all the complaints about Starscream being treacherous.

I was actually surprised that Starscream crapped on everybody for a second. But then my surprise was overshadowed by happiness that the old Starscream was back. My Starscream. Character development is so overrated. Characters change and then go right back to how you first were introduced to them with the next franchise reboot. Why bother? Just keep everyone the same.

He's not.

I preferred the character development, but poor Screamer fell victim to the show

I liked Screamer as he was first introduced. This show really needs to have had longer episodes though. I wanted to see why Screams acted the way he did. How he got where he was. Unless we get a comic to go along with the same story, I'm not satisfied. At least he looks cool combined with all the combiners though.

It's been a mediocre show, but I enjoy it for what it is. I wish there were more characters and character development; but I get it's hard to do that in a 5 minute show. I look forward to the new shows and that's that

More characters to "SELL" that is. The primary purpose for this is just its a very flashy advertisement divided into many parts.

We sort of missed on these when Machinima first shared them last month, but they seem to be making the rounds again via social media and artists sharing them - so we thought to highlight their existence again! Check out below four promotional pieces of art for the animated series Combiner Wars, featuring some of the major players in the show, as imagined by Guido Guidi, Chris Antoin, Keron Grant, and Skan Srisuwan!

That battle scene and Computron art are both fantastic!

Wouldn't it have been nice to see these kinds of scenes in the show itself?

The Computron art is based on my model sheet pencils too

Looks like he's been here longer than you.

Man this is some nice art. If only the show had these awesome scenes.

All the kibble's there, transformation is used as a plot point, as a way to build mystery and intrigue; while other series use transformation as... just a thing they can do and that's it. Sorry if it sounds like I'm singling you out; but I've heard IDW described by quite a few people as the one series to not use transformation when it's the one series to really actually take advantage of transformation.

IDW is garbage, has been since day one.
