You should probably avoid the horror movie they made of it a few years ago.

Also Liz Phair does an amazing cover of it... if it's going to get stuck in your head anyway πŸ˜‚

VERY happy to be a part of this wonderful project. So many talented creatives came together to make something special.

Back this great book and get in on the ground floor of Scotch Transforming Robot history, as @adtcomics.bsky.social and I bring you the future - today!

Experiment? Try a Cyberworld figure or something of the like. Small figures are easy on wallet, and not terribly regrettable if you don't like them.

Don't make me send you something, mister!

It has been brought to my attention that since I shared this someone liked it enough to 3D render it and offer it for sale as a replacement head for the upcoming toy!

Sketches and Digital Colours by Kris Carter - How It Works! If you're considering buying a bespoke sketch from me, and are wondering what the process is, this is how it works!

If you're attending TFN Manchester remember - I will sketch for you, obviously, BUT I can also colour sketches you've commissioned from ACTUAL artistes, cos I'm a better colourist than wot I am a drawerer (and writer).

How does it work? Why, like this.... kriscarter.sumupstore.com/page/sketche...

Commission from 10+ years ago of Liege Maximo.
At the time, only the G2 version existed, and his face, if he had one, was always shrouded in black shadow, so I had to make a lot of the details up.

Thought it worth sharing, since the new toy has similarly filled out the face.

100% agreed on all points. I love this Prime, and I'm one of those crazy animation accurate nuts. I keep picking it back up and having fun with it. Hoping they do a Style Gen Megatron.

My dog Toby, a spoiled light brown dog with big ears, pokes his head from under a blanket on the couch. He has a satisfied/smug look on his face.
