Transformers: Hearts of Steel

FrostmanBlues

Man, I am so anticipating this one here. Transformers comics are taking a turn into the days of steam powered machinery and whatnot.

We have Megatron as a Giant Cannon

Starscream as a plane of sorts

and the amazing Shockwave.


Others include Insecticons, Astro Train, and Bumblebee appearing as a locomotive, which pretty much will say a lot about his existence there.

Goddamn that looks awesome. Though I have to admit, the bright colors on Starscream and Shockwave seem like they might detract from that dusty steampunk feel. I think something with some more sepia tones and stuff would look better.

Still, those are some sexy sketches, and I'm not even a huge Transformers geek or anything.

My local comic book shop didn't get any issues of #2 today.

Daric

This is only on the second issue right? I hate picking up series when they're on issue 537 or something. Then I'm just lost.

Accualt

So how is this? THe concept designs are freaking awesome.

I want some diecast figures of those guys, especially Shockwave, like Hasbro put out for War Within.

Dayspring

It was nothing special.

man, the World War II transformers from the Dreamwave Transformers/G.I. Joe series were much cooler looking

Douglas

Jae Lee did the art. I really want to buy them some day.

Vapid

I don't know what the hell is going on in that picture but it looks awesome.

Douglas

Snake Eyes is fighting a robot tiger made of metal with a pair of daggers.

Accualt

They were cool but they didn't seem as functional as the designs for Hearts of Steel.

Ravage perhaps?

Yes. Yes it was.

I know a guy that worked at Dreamwave. He got me the whole run + every #1 variant cover for $15.

So awesome.

Maybe that is why they went bankrupt. :P

Isn't that series the one where Optimus Prime commits genocide?

If by genocide you mean:

[spoiler:37158c914f]Has Snake Eyes shatter the Matrix of Leadership[/spoiler:37158c914f]

than yes.

Picked up GI Joe/Transformers 3: The Art of War yesterday. I thought how they brought Serpentor into the mix was pretty neat, along with the entire Matrix angle.

Douglas

I thought the Devil's Due ones were terrible, but I have a really strong bias against Blaylock and his thugs.

Now that's awsome
