Full Details And Cover Previews For IDW’s Ectotron Comic Series

Posted on February 18, 2019 at 2:07 pm by AzT under Comics

Ectotron’s surprise debut caused quite the positive stir this past weekend at Toy Fair New York, and now we have more details to share about the origin story thanks to io9:

When the Transformers pick up on a strange Cybertronian signal emanating from Earth, they travel to the planet only to discover that the threat waiting for them there is something that Venkman, Spengler, Stantz, and Zeddemore are perfectly suited to help them take on. The five-issue series will feature a variety of variant covers illustrated by Dan Schoening, Paulina Ganucheau, Nick Roche, and Alex Milne, and hits stores this June.

Does this additional news guarantee the series a spot on your pull list? Check out the artwork attached to this post and then sound off on the 2005 boards!

Transformers Cyberverse Series: Rob Wiggins Character Design Artwork

Posted on February 18, 2019 at 11:42 am by AzT under Transformers Cyberverse

TFW2005 member Novaburnhilde found a third round of Boulder Media and Hasbro Studios artwork from the Transformers Cyberverse series, with this set credited to product designer Rob Wiggins. Mirrored from the full gallery and attached to this post are early versions of Optimus Prime and Starscream.

Early Transformers Cyberverse concepts (when we referred to the show as “TF Origins”). This project was a lot of fun! My designs were competing against teams of designers in LA. Eventually, we won and got the green light to push ahead. The designs were further revised/revamped at Boulder Media for the final show.
