Two exclusive covers have been released for the upcoming Japanese manga, Mazinger Z vs Transformers over on villagebooks.net.
The first of these covers is a team-up shot by Ken Ninba, showing the titular Mazinger Z behind a lineup of classic Transformers characters such as Optimus Prime, Devastator, Prowl, Grimlock, Rumble, Skywarp and Thundercracker.
The second cover plays up the “vs” aspect of the crossover and features art by Yuuki Oshima. This cover shows Mazinger Z squaring off against Optimus Prime, readying his signature Rocket Punch against the Autobot leader. Mazinger’s allies Aphrodita A and Boss Borot race to support Mazinger, while Bumblebee dives out of the path of the Mazinger. Megatron, the Decepticons, and Mazinger’s arch enemy Baron Ashura are visible in the background. We like this cover as it accurately shows how huge the Mazinger is compared to the Autobots.
This crossover is due to arrive in March, and should be a battle for the ages. Hopefully this might open the way for more Transformers crossovers with other classic series – or dare we say, Transformers joining Super Robot Wars?

Dangit I couldn't find this thread the other day. Got my copy on Friday and love the artwork. Glad someone else took some photos of it and uploaded them. I'm glad I forgot to cancel my order now.

Damnit they need to complete that anime!

I hope they will make MP44 Optimus with Mazinger\'s color scheme like MP Eva Prime.

Man just seeing that cover I wish we could have Nagai sensei do an entire TF comic outside of crossovers. It goes without saying he's kind of the god father of all mecha but man does it show right here where he draws Convoy/Optimus and it feels like it's exactly the way it's meant to look.

Mazinger is owned by Bandai. Not Hasblow..err I meant Hasbro. If anyrhing it would be Takaratomy teaming up with Go Nagai and Bandai Japan to make that.
Starforce
Done and done

I hope Hasbro releases a Mazinger Z toy that Transforms.
