I believe that was the inspiration behind the Knight Morpher Commander fankit.

Pretty badass..but would this mean there's tracks leading directly to the Autobot base?

Because, you know, a giant ship sticking out of a mountain side doesn't stand out or anything...

That is cool.


Be well, people of CoH.

some amazing detail in that piece, including the working lights.

can't help but wonder what some of the other transformers might end up as...

iron hide as a grain mill?

bumblebee as as a manual water pump?

megatron as a loom, which might finally explain where 'wanted' went wrong

the tech has got to be pretty thin... ;p


Kittens give Morbo gas.

OK, I'm partially disappointed now. I thought it was totally designed from scratch.

A key element of steampunk is that steam technology is used in a much broader, more advanced way.

However, it would be rather amusing to see Soundwave turn into an Edison-era phonograph, or Starscream become a zeppelin.

I did think it might be the Hearts of Steel one. Very, very nicely done, too.

I first heard of this when I saw the president of IDW give a talk on this a couple of years back at the Association of American Law Schools meeting, at a presentation on "Comic Art and the Law." He noted that the inclusion of real, historical figures in the story presented some potential issues for the publisher in terms of rights of publicity.

The link for the Prime itself isn't working for me.
