I love Transformers, but really only the G1 era. I never liked the animal-based transformers, and I prefer my vehicles to be based on real ones. That said, I happened to come across this:
http://www.idwpublishing.com/titles/transformers/hos.shtml
(Scroll down for concept art.)

It's a short comic line that's coming out next month, and I have to say it looks really cool! I've only bought one Transformers comic in my entire life (a mid-80s badly colored one), and I think I may finally break that streak.

I saw these a couple weeks ago on a comic book site and thought they were really cool.

I remember seeing a similar comic taking place in WWII - with GI Joe, of course. Never read it, but the artwork was fantastic.

Shouldn't Shockwave turn into a phonograph?

That'd be Soundwave, not Shockwave.

That would make the Rumble and Lazerbeak brittle vinyl records.

Or cylinders. What where those cylinders made out of metal? wax? vinyl?

Like even more of a cheap Soundwave knock-off.

I'd buy Cyclonus as a Messerschmidt! He can have the spiky propeller blades fold up on his crown to make a Sauron-crown.

Hey this sounds good, I'm certainly for anything set in a steam-punk universe.

I beg to differ - Soundwave doesn't have such cool Batman-like head [Razz]

So...does Ratchet turn into some sort of morgue buggy? Jazz could be an iceman's cart..because he's cool like that.
