New Art from Transformers/ Avengers Crossover

It's suppose to be the IDW's version of Transformers. A lot of characters got redesigned by the publisher.

It's a lacking rendition of IDW's designs, covered up with some good colouring work. Everyone else is the same size as Prime, Bumblebee looks pregnant, and Prime is actually based on a touched-up Pat Lee pose (Josh found the art... though in fairness to the Marvel art, it's a much, much better version of the swiped pose.)



(What happened to Logan's hips, too?)

Regretting ordering this a bit... especially after seeing the Marvel solicited cover for #2...



At least Prowl looks decent in that one, though.

edit:

That's not for the crossover. Didn't Hulk get blasted into space before Civil War and end up the ruler of (or lead gladiator on) another planet? Hence the circlet he's wearing.

I'm hoping it's the run-up to Stark getting decapitated in a suitably bloody manner. It's about the only way I'd start reading Marvel regularly again...

I've seen that pic before. I don't like how the robots are all the same size...

The usual formula of comic book crossovers is "good guys fight each other until they realise they're on the same side, then they fight the bad guys..."

It'd be nice if this one avoided the cliché, but I doubt it'll happen.

I still wish they would've gone with the classic story and designs, rather than the IDW universe. I know there's no "one classic story" but the standard Autobot vs. Decpeticon G1 story would've worked well enough for such a crossover.

It's smart on IDW's part to let Marvel do this crossover. It proves to the naysayers just how great IDW really is.

They should've given this project to Mark Brooks. He does a great job on superhero characters plus he does well on Transformers.

He did a great job on the art in this year's X-Men annual (too bad the story's really...ehh...)

mark brooks is an amazing artist AND a transformers fan

i would be eating this up like no tomorrow if he was on art [and you wouldnt have to worry about pat lee swipes or any of that crap either]

T____T



why do you like to make me sad? xD

It'll be intersting to see who the Decepticons get paired up with. I couold definately see Red Skull since Captain America is on the Autobots side. Hmmmmm...................
