TFW2005’s Radicons is proud to present their featured Radicon for June, GrungeWerX! GrungeWerX is well known for his variety and originality of his Transformers illustrations, ranging from Generation 1 characters and scenes to his custom-created characters. He has been an active member of our community since 2003! As part of our monthly spot-light, we have a really fun and interesting interview with GrungeWerX, as well as his galleries, and his project threads. To see this interview and other cool features, venture on over to the Featured Radicons forum.
While you’re at it, you can check out our past monthly Featured Radicons.

The only real division is medium. While we've seen the Transformers' fandom focus on one medium or another at certain points, it's all artwork One of the main reasons for the absence of "Fan Art" (or "Illustration, as the term I prefer) is that we wanted to make sure we are able to do things the best ways possible with available resources. With the additional Radicons Staff now, we can spread out things amongst 7 persons whereas when Radicons focused solely on customs we only had 3 staffers available for the work. Our staff is unified on wanting to make things the best for as many as possible. We're proud to illuminate artists who work in different mediums, be it illustrator, kitbasher, or whatever. I was really thrilled to see your post, as it's a shining example of how one can bounce back and forth instead of being limited.
GrungeWerX, it's been great getting to know more about you. I've always enjoyed your artwork. Thanks again for being a friend as well

This is why I love the Radicons…it forces me to spend a LOT of time looking at everyone's work because its always so awesome that I could do it for hours. Grungewerx is no exception. I'm glad you guys are showcasing illustrators as well as modelers.

What i really like.. what i REALLY REALLY like… is that we see something from the artists here and not just the custom toys… now i LOVE the customs. i make them myself… but your stuff rocks dude.. i'd be happy to take a crack at producing a custom Burnout sometime for ya (if i can ever finish movie tracks, and my Animated Fem-Scream)… but man.. it was such a joy to see your artwork. I used to sketch and draw all the time… and life just makes it hard sometimes to follow through…
i admire your tenacity, and you really seem to put some heart and soul into the work you do. that's always a plus.
At any rate, i'm impressed and glad to see you getting much deserved recognition.
well done, sir.

Thanks a lot man!
Thanks bro. I'll keep posting as often as I can and thanks for watching.
Thanks a lot! Sorry about those photos, they're almost 2 years old. I don't come out of the batcave that often for pix! LOL. But seriously, yea, I love it when you see an artist, always brings that connection with them, even if you don't know them, ya know? But for some reason, you just feel a little closer to them.
Thanks bro!
Thanks man!
Thanks, man. I'm definitely aiming high, so we'll see what happens. Appreciate the kind words!
Sorry about the lack of links. I perused through a ton of the old galleries and added updated links to some images, so you should be able to find some now!
Hey man! Thanks so much! You too, bro. Who knows, maybe we'll both make it to the big time in hollywood together!
AND a custom Burnout. Man, I've been wanting to see that fembot as a toy for years! It's about time, I think!
Thanks a lot!
GrungeWerX
Thanks man.
When I heard some of the links didn't work, I went back and tried to link as many pieces of art as I could. If you try back, you might be able to find a ton of new ones. Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience.

Congrats, GrungeWerX! I've been a fan of your art for a few years now. It was great reading this interview and getting to know you a bit better (and it's always great to actually see who our fellow Radicons are behind the usernames). Keep up the great work and congrats again–you're more than deserving of the feature, man.

I co-sign on most of the comments made…this dude is awesome and will definitely go places!! I'm just seeing this stuff for the first time and I was blown away. Definitely needs to be a part of character design on the next animated show! ;o)

Awesome!
Rikotron
kind of pointless to try and introduce someone's work to us all and give us a slew of links which lead nowhere. Shame.

AWESOME!!! Someone hire this guy for the next TF series! Congrats.
