Go Drag Strip!!

Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and....uh...

*scratches head* ...Leader One?
*sheepish grin*

HMMM!!!...Bumblebee, Ultra Magnus, and Starscream? O_O?

Drag Strip, Tracks, ....uhh..Octane? Oh..and the rest of the Stunticons wayyyyyy in the back :P

Drag Strip is the easy one. He's in the file name.

Drag Strip, Tracks, and Silverbolt

Jetfire is the B1?

whoa, nice job on the B1

Nice cover. Good luck with another project.

To narrow it down a little, Drag Strip (and the Stunticons WAY in the background) is the only one that appeared in the cartoon. The other two are G1, but more obscure.

The Autobot is Downshift, one of the Omnicons, who were only available by mail order.. Sweet. I loved that toy, despite a major design flaw in the shoulder joint. :)

I do not score full nerd points because I've no idea who the jet is.

That makes two out of three now.

You know, I never watched any of the transfomer shows or movie but seeing this is really starting to get me interested.

Hmmm, I could've sworn that the Autobot was Goldbug. Oh well. And the jet looks like Silverbolt except for the guns underneath him. ~scratches head~ He looks familiar, though. He wouldn't be a Pretender, would he?

Dragstrip, Downshift, and Air Raid (the only one I could find that turned into a B1 Lancer and matched the closest to the pic).

They gifted me the one closer to the camera but i never knew it's name T_T.
But if that is a B1 bomber, isn't it spaceshot or blackout ?

That's a really excellent guess, but unfortunately not the subject. It's not obvious, since the only distinguishing qualities are the vehicle form and the extra guns on the wing roots.

The plane is a B-1 Lancer... so in absense of color, it's either one of the Micromaster Combiner Decepticons, Spaceshot or Blackout.

Just read the previous statement y Eric, so I was wrong on my guess. Searched a bit deeper and found another possibility - Windsweeper

You are indeed correct :] And its cool you did some research.

Dragstrip, Downshift, Mindsweeper. I happen to realy dig the Triggercons, at least in concept ^^;

Yup, that's the final answer.

Drag Strip (Stunticon) http://tfu.info/1986/Decepticon/Dra...../dragstrip.htm
(I tried to split the difference between toy and animation designs in this case)

Downshift (Omnibot) http://tfu.info/1985/Autobot/Downsh...../downshift.htm

Windsweeper (Triggercon) http://tfu.info/1988/Decepticon/Win.....indsweeper.htm

Thank heaven's for my photographic memory. Sadly I don't own any of these figures, but a store I went to has a bunch (and ridiculously over priced- but I wont go there)

Gotta love the idea of Triggercons/Bots- its like the earliest example of Automorph :P

Not nerdly enough.......

wow, Imust say you game killer skill to robots, I stink at drawing em haha

Even if it *is* a transformer robot, you know that in that attitude that B1-b is going to plough straight into the ground?

It reminds me of one of Wayne Boring's more endearing characteristics as an artist for 50's Superman comics. It was only one of many examples, but one panel in particular stuck in my memory. Superman was flying into Perry White's office. As usual, Perry was caught totally by surprise, even though Superman msut have flown through his office window almost on a dialy basis. The artist depicted "surprise" as throwing up both hands in what looked like surrender, while toppling stiffly backward. But the gem in the picture was Superman himself, who was in full flying pose -- legs straight, cape billowing behind, and arms stretched out in front. But he was angled straight toward the carpet, and there were only inches before Supes crashed through the floor! Yet in this precisely captured fraction of a second there was somehow time enough for a practracted conversation! Wayne Boring was never boring....

It helps if the nose end becomes feet, but not much.

I hope IDW accept it,

Looking quite excellent

Dragstrip, Windsweeper, & Downshift. In the background you got Optimus Prime, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Mirage judging by their profiles.

NO!

Optimus Prime does not have the two panels on the side of his trailer. Just a white stripe.


Its a bad Idea to get things like this wrong when surrounded by TF nerds...

Actually, it depeneds on which Optimus you're talking about.

WOW awsome work

If this is the contest I think it is...


Where are the polar bears??? >8[

Bugger! I thought it was Skylynx!

And I guess Drag Strip is about to receive some support from Motormaster and the gang?

wow excelent pic (a car decepticon...thats freak)

ok just WHO is the B-1 helpinh Dragstrip take on Sunstreaker/a Throttlebot?

You gotta read thru the comments for that info.

cool

Nice too see an Omnibot, but I have never been big on the Triggerbots/Triggercons, and the Stunticons are my least favourite of the con combiners. Combaticons for the win!

But an excellent piece none the less.

For what it's worth, I didn't choose the characters in the cover. They were given to me as part of the specs of the contest.

Ah, fair play then. One thing that has been good about the IDW stuff is they have used some of the lesser known G1 characters in their books. Hopefully they'll do a Dreamwave and bring in the Turbomasters, or maybe even some of the Japanese G1 exclusive characters somehow.

OMG talk about obscure, Minesweeper and Downshift! Damn, now that's hardcorefanboyish. I salute you sir!
