Hydra’s comments
Since G2 fiction was in scant supply, it's great to come across any sort of material that adds to the story that effectively followed from Battlestars in Japan. I was rather surprised to find this Bom-Bom content several years back, as I hadn't even been aware that G2 was featured in Comic Bom-Bom. It's just now that I've finally gotten around to scanning the pages. The most noteworthy issue among these is a spread by Yoshioka Hidetsugu that acts as a montage of Transformer history, firmly placing G2 in the flow of events for the Japanese G1 contuinuity. Also of note is the page showing the evolution of Convoy and Megatron/Galvatron, as I'm sure that kids playing with the G2 toys in the mid-90's would not have been aware about the Transformers legacy written a decade ago.
Although not Transformers-related, I've included the pages of Yoshioka's "Super Turtles" illustrations, which ran simultaneously with G2 in Bom-Bom and was a sequel of sorts to TMNT. Probably few TF fans have seen Yoshioka's work from other series, so I included the scans as a sort of bonus. Although an obvious Saint Seya parody/rip-off, Super Turtles seems an interesting enough series in its own right. Being that Yoshioka's style draws heavily from American comics, it fits the ninja turtles very nicely. |
