I cannot stress this enough: Transformers need to be drawn like this! I simply love the Gundam (another of my favorite mecha series) influences. makes them look more bad ass!

awesome, I remember the colored version by Joe Moore of tfw2005 posted awhile ago. Seeing the raw pencils is amazing.

What do you use for art supplies? What brand names? For example, how big of a drawing pad do you use? What kind of pencils, etc? Any info is much appreciated. Thanks.

Gundam and TF's are amazing together. Just trying to keep the Gundam feel from overpowering the piece is hard. Great work. Maybe I will get my lazy butt into gear and post some of my stuff.

Yes, more Gundam-like TFs are a good thing! 
Seriously though, the Autobots and Decepticons are machines designed for war (especially the Decepticons if you follow the TV backstory), but the cartoon and even more recent comic designs didn't fully present that. But here you've got MAgnus in full battle gear and multi-missile packs on his shoulders - like an Autobot WARRIOR should look.
Now, the one criticism I could level against this is that the design is almost a little TOO detailed, making it look kind of blurry in some parts. But other than that, good work.

most of the time with tf art the black and white art can look a bit blurry, but the original being bigger is eary to read. however i'm sure that it will be easier to look at when it's colored. i'm not sure when it'll be done, but it will be done.

that's frikkin' hot... I love the design on Magnus... XD ARRR! This looks hot... *pokes at it*
Seriously; Metroplex looks awesome(and friggin huge, as he should XD), and your Magnus looks powerful! I can't tell who the others are, but they look awesome as well o . o !

Please, don't mix Transformers and Gundams...it completely takes the honor from the Gundams....

I remember when you showed me this in the hotel room. You and Joe helped inspired me to try drawing things a little differently and not just in a TF way. As for the pic itself, the only thing I can think of is the area where Magnus is feels a bit too cluttered. The bot behind him is hard to make out because of it. Still, it's a beautiful picture and I love how you combined elements of Gundam design and still retain much of the original features of Ultra Magnus.

I also agree with them the Magnus is Incredible! Must see a solo pic. Metro also looks badass .
