DescriptionTransformer Optimus Prime by Daniel Warren JohnsonThe end of 2023 was kinda rough for me. One of the comics that got me through was Daniel Warren Johnson’s Transformers, which captures the incredible action and heart that DWJ brings to his projects, it also got me going back and rediscovering Transformers as a whole. Which prior to that I was mainly familiar with due to the Michael Bay movies. My deep dive has had me exploring the IDW comics, Transformers Prime Animated Series and more. Daniel Warren Johnson is showing he is a once in a generation talent masterfully blending kinetic action with moments of poignant, beauty and tragedy. His current project, a re-launch of transformers has instilled a book that could easily become a nostalgic cash grab into something more. In the opening of its second issue, Optimus accidentally takes the life of a deer. You see this hardened war hero and Huling machine devastated by the taking of this wooden creatures life regardless of how familiar you are with the property this two page sequence tells you everything that you need to know about the character. DWJ has spoken in interviews about how he fought with Hasbro to include this scene to show why Optimus fights to protect humanity for me. This was the moment in the series that Transformers became Daniel Warren Johnson’s Transformers. I was fortunate enough to make his sketch list at Heroes Con 2024 and requested an Optimus Prime with Megatron’s arm Cannon, and he killed it. I am so happy with how this came out. I love the quiet sadness on his face. Social/Sharing |

It's a great image and unique to the new EU iteration with Optimus adapting Magatron's arm! You can see that DWJ puts a weariness to the posture like Optimus is an old soldier who's fought for too long.
