So my regular parter in crime Ed Pirrie aka http://kingoji.tumblr.com/ have a deep and special love for Beast Wars and we talked about homaging the MTMTE #1 cover (itself and homage) and getting to work with some of our favourite characters.
So here they are, the good guys. Bad guys to follow…
LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD! Two megacycles ago, the War of the Threefold Spark ravaged the planet Cybertron-a conflict that shook the planet to its core. As Cyclonus struggles to come to terms with his history, and the death of his lover Paragon, Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus seek out a familiar face to help them understand the crisis that Cybertron now faces-but the Decepticons are onto them! Find out who makes it out of the Decepticon ambush in the first chapter of “Darkness, Once Gazed Upon”, now annotated on TFwiki!
Beast Wars: Transformers 4-panel gag strips I scanned out of a Japanese guidebook to the series. At this point I’m not actually sure which one it was - BW got a ton of ancillary books in Japan compared to what we got here and I have a pile of them.
Terrorsaur’s design here seems to be specifically referencing the conman character Iyami from Fujio Akatsuka’sOsomatsu-kun, which didn’t have a TV show at the time Beast Wars was airing (but was presumably well-ingrained in Japanese pop culture at that point).
The original Maximal crew on a jungle adventure–or hopelessly lost, depending on whose point of view you ask for XD! A belated art piece for @jupiterscallie!
