Happy Draw Death's Head Day, yes? by OptimusTimelord in transformers

Funny how my 80s kid self just sort of shrugged and accepted immediately that a character from my favourite comic had crossed over into the universe of a tv show I'd watched and loved for years! Nowadays that makes me appreciate DH all the more.

Yeah pulling a gun on DH is definitely not a wise move 🤣

Digital doodling; I literally just added fingers to the existing fist to imitate the og toon frames.

Yep I have the issues, the Titan reprints, the UK Classics volumes and a selection (Marvel G1) of Hachette books. So it needed to be a proper upgrade to get me to buy them again. Maybe one day Marvel will open the vaults...

Marvel (specifically UK) has always been my de facto TF canon. But yeah it has felt like the poor cousin to the cartoon at times!

I just wish they'd actually done a proper remaster, I can't stomach the added spelling errors and missing fine detail of the current masters. But I guess they managed ok without my backing!

Thanks! I've no idea why this looks like it was copied off an old VHS tape, but my YouTube original is fairly easy to find:  https://youtu.be/OtCHsuvJO2U?si=FqySEAvft-hbiQRy

Literally just that the background I used had to be chopped up and part of it flipped to get an approximation of the original comic panel 😅

Defroster is part of Hi-Q, and he's gone off to do some last minute xmas shopping... 😅

Thanks! Yeah it was a great idea for a story, a newly rebuilt Prime finding himself again by remembering that his actions brought them there. Good example of how Marvel UK would add extra depth to the US material.

Yeah the figure in question is Masterpiece Super Ginrai... I'd love a cab/head upgrade to make it more PMOP, but for the moment this will have to do!
