Previews World have just updated the IDW Optimus Prime #23 Cover A courtesy of artist Kei Zama.
Another fine piece of art by Kei Zama, this time featuring Rum-Maj surrounded by a group of Sharkticons and with charismatic Wreck-Gar’s head below her. As a great extra bonus, Kei Zama was kind to share the lineart, pencils and even the early sketches for this cover via her Twitter.

Agreed. I think Zama would work well if they’re gonna do some toyline related comics. And WFC is looking pretty badass and edgy.
Digger
She. Also yes, her art is inspired off Geoff Senior and Derek Yaniger for their powerful and aggressive styles.

Creepy as hell.
WTF, TF with human teeth!

Zama is a relatively newcomer, but she fits right in!
I’ll settle for anyone be it Milne, Roche, Guidi, Coller, Griffith, Cahill, SPR, or Zama! Just give anyone of these!

I'm loving the art. The only thing that irks me about it is the resounding imagery of Transformers with teeth, which I was never about.
Never have been. Never will.

Her art is incredible as always. I'm really going to miss her and alex milne's art when the reboot happens. If I had my way those two would be the only ones doing art for the reboot.
Lock em down IDW. Kei and Alex forever.

He's got the UK Marvel Transformers style down!. Love that cover. Very retro.

That's Rum-Maj.

Beautiful art, as always.
But I hope Wreck-Gar gets his body back…

Love it so so much, miss the junkions and how little we have seen of them
GrimLocke
That too! It’s just me being up my own tiny Dynobutt. Though, to give MMC company, Unique Toys has their Cykill (Salmoore) so maybe they’d try their hand at some Junkions.
Still, I’m glad KFC has their ‘86 Movie Junkions, which would also work if you really loved IDW’s Monstrosity. Now, I like Monstrosity quite a lot and think that would make for a great film: grifter Megs surviving on the deserts of Junkion with his captive Quintesson. Though, nothing tops Primacy since, ya know, Dynobots.
But, those shambling Junkions don’t have a lick of the swagger that Kei lavishes on Rum and Wreck.
And, like Rung or Camien Dinobot Strafe, I don’t see HasTak taking a chance on lavishly sculpted versions of these new or updated bots in TF:WFC:Siege. Though, I’d welcome being proven wrong~
Digger
I mean sure but you know who else needs to do it? MMC!
Digger
The story is amazing. You’ll love it. The colouring holds it all together well. Even when it randomly changes to Alex Milne.

Amazing art!

By Solus, I hope Iron Factory announces their own Rum-maj & Wreck-Gar.

Goddamn Kei Zama puts out some amazing art!! My biggest crime against this hobby is not having read these issues. I\'m such a reluctant consumer of Transformes comix–but one of these days (soon I hope) I\'ll get around to properly binging this whole run in one go! In the meantime, I\'m always just blown away by how dynamic and how hardcore any of Kei Zama\'s covers are. Amazing work.

The biggest crime of the Hasbroverse ending so soon is that we didn’t get to spend more time with Wreck-Gar. Here’s hoping he’s introduced a little earlier next time around.
Black Convoy
Awesome cover.
