By way of artist Alex Milne’s Twitter, we are able to share with you the awesome artwork for the subscription variant cover of Transformers Lost Light issue 4. Alex’s variant cover shows the sinister leader of the Functionist Council observing a hologram of Megatron and Terminus – all depicted in excellent detail. Check out the colored artwork and the original linework attached to this post.

Please let Megatron get and carry that universes matrix back to ours/theirs! Matrixtron. I love the new Megs.

I will never get used to seeing Megatron with an Autobut emblem! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Murasame
I think I will print this as another poster. I already printed some and need some nice frames

Sounds good and best of luck with the new project; looking forward to seeing anything you're inspired to do.
Hope the future brings you back to MTMTE/LL at some point — at the very least, to finally show off the mysterious alt mode for Megatron that you've been patiently sitting on ever since you designed the character! (One of my favourite Megatron designs ever, by the way.)

Figueroa wasn't "mandated" to make things look more Bayish, that was a choice he made himself because he was tired of his old art style.

I just feel it's a shame that there's not enough TF books to showcase all the ridiculous talent available.
I wish we could get backup strips in the books so we could see more artists work at a time.

I don't think it outgrew him as much as mandates to make things look more bayish.

If anything I'd just want Milne back on Lost Light. Kei Zama and Sara Pitre-Durocher are both doing great on their respective books and I wouldn't want to replace them. I do like Don Fig's late Dreamwave/early IDW art, but with his retirement from the franchise and his widely reviled "new" art style, I feel the franchise has outgrown him like how it "outgrew" Furman.

Milne is the only current transformers artist that actually draws people as good as he does Robots. He is missed terribly on LL/MTMTE. Dream scenario would be Milne on Optimus Prime, Roche on LL, and Don Fig on TAAO.

Well I can't say no since I don't know what the plans are for future arcs. I just know that if there is anything, it won't be soon for me to work on it. I have another project I'm currently working on.
Mercutio
That's better than no! I'll take it!
Thanks for making it such a great book to read all these years, and I hope you and James have the chance to finish the story together.
markerguru
I don't know.

Not really seeing as Jack was a huge influence on Nick Roche and Milne's art improved dramatically when he started incorporating some of Nick's style into his design.
So arguably it could be one indirectly influencing the other in the opposite direction.
That said, this is a great cover. Good work Alex!

@markerguru will you come back to LL?
Mercutio
*cries* It's so beautiful. I want him back on the book so bad.
Strife
Why again isn't he the artist? LL is good, but the art is a KO version of Milne.

Now, close your eyes and imagine the rest of the series drawn like this. You know, like it should be.

Beautiful, love the attention to detail.
