Some time ago, we had previously reported that Hero-X, the publisher behind Transformers: Generations collection of books, will be publishing the classic Marvel Transformers comics in Japanese.
Hero-X has already released Vol.1 and Vol.2 last year. Each volume containing 4 issues of the classic Marvel G1 comics. Hero X Twitter has shared now the amazing cover of Vol. 3 of this collection.
This new cover was drawn by veteran artist Yoshiyuki Takani who drew the amazing art for the home media release of The Transformers: The Movie in Japan. We have an astonishing illustration featuring Jetfire jumping into battle, surrounded by Optimus Prime and a damaged Prowl. We can also spot Shockwave shooting to the them in the background.
You can check out the mirrored cover after the jump and then you can share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

This is incredibly beautiful. This is like some amazing old illustrations from war propaganda or some of the best Thomas the thank engine books. Just stunning. I’d hang this on my wall any day.

Totally love takani – his dvd covers are also worth checking out, in addition to the movie poster. If only earl norem was still alive – would love to see an art book of these two riffing off each other!

I really wish they did the TF logo using the classic Marvel Comics TF logo.
or… something similar.
I love the art though. reminds me of the old Transformers cassette Books.
Highly Doubtful. Sorry to shatter your dreams.

Along the way, the artist was inspired by the frame of the glory kill from the future game DOOM Eternal!
