Thirteen: Yeah, tough vote since most of them are kinda nothings. Vector Prime and Alpha Trion are cool since they've actually shown up and done stuff before. The G2er in me was tempted for Liege Maximo but I know they just think of him as Loki now because of his horns. In the end I went for...

Looking at the sales figures on ICv2 (so can only see top 50; number in parentheses is overall rank in units sold among all single issues that month, spoilered for space): So yeah, TF is easily their top seller (frequently in the top 5 of all comics period), the GIJOE stuff is doing pretty...

Time to bring it home! #5: The Transformers #78 - "A Savage Circle" Andrew Wildman I adore the shattered mirror design here, reflective of Galvatron's disintegrating sanity as he confronts his past self. The effect even extends to the title logo (and bonus lower left box) which is cool...

Not really surprising, most of the stuff he's done is only like 5-8 issues; I think Extremity is his longest at 12. So his Transformers run will have been twice as long as anything else he's ever done. The real interesting part is gonna be seeing what Skybound does after he leaves. Continue as...

Wow that's crazy. I had always just thought of it as cracked glass (from his fall) but I totally see the face!

Into the top 10... #10: Transformers: Generation 2 #5 - "The Power and the Glory" Derek Yaniger Yeah, it's spoilery as hell, but a victorious Megatron gleefully holding the skull of his vanquished enemy, torn oily cables and smoking bullet holes and all, is pretty much peak G2 (with one...

#15: Transformers: Generation 2 #10 - "Total War!" Derek Yaniger A nice eye-catching close-up making good use of Yaniger's style and detail, and an effective motif with the model Earth being crushed. I also really like the use of the word bubble (G2-style colored shapes included!) as the text...

Oh definitely; it's not meant as a negative against the word bubble, just a positive for how nicely things were composed.

#20: The Transformers #60: "Yesterday's Heroes!" José Delbo, Danny Bulanadi Our final Delbo cover! I like to rag on his work, but credit where credit's due, this one is a banger - samurai Bludgeon descending upon the Autobots from above is a great concept, and the choice of angle here is a...

Yeah, toy-wise I think my ideal way to do Pretender updates would be "brute mode" types where the shells are instead additional armor in robot mode and trailer/accessory pieces in vehicle mode. Thinking guys like Energon Landmine or the PotP Leaders. I think this could work pretty well for the...

#25: The Transformers #23 - "Decepticon Graffiti!" Herb Trimpe An instantly-recognizable American landmark, defaced with graffiti (with some backwards letters, because the hooligans aren't too bright) - this cover instantly tells you everything you need to know about Runabout and Runamuck...

So Deluxe arms, Voyager legs, and torso bots of unknown size. Could both be Voyagers + the extra parts, or Long Haul might be bigger. I wonder if the two legs are Voyagers because they'll include extra leg parts (I'm hoping Long Haul won't have to take on so much extra mass this time around like...

$80 struck me as a bit high at first too, but I think the extra accessories/parts, as well as the exclusiveness, make the price make sense. And that axe, that glorious axe.

Especially given the explosion in popularity of anime over here in the US. I would think they could still make the younger audience-aimed cartoons in the West and then design a join US-Japan anime designed for adults that, if done well, could probably be really popular in the US (thinking...

#30: The Transformers #50 - "Dark Star" José Delbo, Danny Bulanadi Delbo predicts Stege Starscream three decades in advance! Like #41, I can tell he went above and beyond for this one, fitting in quite a lot of detailing to make Underbase-powered Starscream look suitably impressive (compare...

And here I was worried he might be too small :ROFLMAO:

Looks pretty great to me, I think the backpack won't be a big issue. Not a fan of the windows but that's the only real negative. And I really like how the repair pod can attach to Roller. I still never got the Earthrise one (even after the re-release) so probably an easy buy... But my one...

#35: The Transformers #76 - "Still Life!" Andrew Wildman Great composition here, with the demonic primordial looming behind the frozen Grimlock (even has some hellfire behind him). This also might be the coolest Sludge has ever looked with the aviator sunglasses look. The Optimus corpse in...

I'm really hoping the "millions of years" thing is an error and not a retcon, as the "hundreds of years" made a lot more sense (as well as making more sense for Beachcomber's situation). Also, I know this is a comic about giant alien robots, but it's basically impossible that Beachcomber...

#40: The Transformers #74 - "The Void!" Andrew Wildman One thing that can definitely be appreciated with Wildman is that there's always going to be an attention to detail, and here it can be seen in all the little ways Optimus and Scorponok are being damaged (Scorponok's antennae is an...
