Description

My therapist says I need to work through my Transformers issues. (I know, she's a comedian.)
So here's a Transformers cover. How hard can it be?

Top Panel we got Storm Shadow 2? (badass evil ninja for hire with boobs. Ok, good start. Next we have Shazraella. (Alien from microverse who is married to Karza. Mini aliens! Sign me up.)
Finally we have Joe Colton. (wha??? Why is he on bad guy's side. This is Mr G.I. Joe himself with kung fu action grip. I know. I can't believe it either. I was like Emilio and he got real confused. Hope I wasn't the one to make him join the evil side. I get that a lot.)

Second panel. Optimus Prime looking on thinking deep thoughts like "I wonder why humans don't wear bras on their thumbs because that would be hot."

Last panel. Here come the Transformers, bear with me. We got Soundwave, good so far. He turns into a boom box? Sure, why not. They need some beats. How else are the Funky Fresh Boyz gonna compete? He's a Decepticon but he's on the good guy side. What the heck is going on? Is this Bizarro World? Did they make this book while on vacation in Hawaii? Anyway, his chest pops open and out jumps Cyclops. Oh for the love of Pete. Serenity now! Never mind, it's not Cyclops, it's Matt Tracker. Leader of Mobile Armoured Strike Kommand. M.A.S.K is way cooler than M.A.S.C. (Plus the guys at Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation don't mess around. My poor cow accidently wandered over to their field. They chased her back. She tried to clear the barbwire fence but it was udder destruction.)

It's hard but I'll give it a go. Flippin robots.

congrats on the cover add!

i read the whole description word for word yet i'm still seeing Cyclops...

anytime someone posts anything Transformers related my puny brain grasps at any straws it has to connect to what I already know...I have to do better. My therapist will be hearing about this.

It looks like the team with guns are designed like a crown for Optimus Prime!  Transformers covers seem to be popular.  Who knew?

Cool cover John
 By your Description, I can see that you love transformers

But I agree with the previous comment that it looks like there's a cyclops cameo there

That character on the right looks to be part cockroach with the tail thing going on.  Maybe they are a part of a new race called Insecticons.  You might have a very valuable piece on your hands if that is the character's first appearance!  Nice add!!!

*CLCK CHCK* (casette door opens) - "Behold, Cyclopsiwave!"

Nice cover image, man!  Was rolling on the "what Optimus Prime is thinking" line!

I never noticed the 2nd panel until I read your description.  Great pick up!

A Transformers/Cyclops crossover? Wow, that's awesome! A robotic femme fatale? Sweet! But what's that long, thick thing going into her rear end?

GI Joe and Transformers TOGETHER? What's next--Barbie and Hot Wheels? Or Care Bears meet Tonka Trucks? Where will it all stop?
