He was very gracious and gave me permission to upload his drawings here…seeing as I’m Mrcappy.
In other words, these aren’t stolen unless you think I plagiarized myself.

Do you like Transformer fanart? Well, of course you do. Back in the 80’s, every cartoon was apparently busted for possession and had to do community service via airing public service announcements at the end of the program.
If your house is on fire stay low to the ground!
If a stranger asks you to help find his lost puppy he probably wants to molest you!
Contact your local authorities if you suspect your neighbors of communist activity!
It was a very groan-worthy era of broadcasting.

The original Transformers were no different, and by the second season they regularly ran the kind of advice you’d expect from alien machines who have no understanding of earth culture. This would be the part where I’d link a Youtube video showcasing the Transformer PSA’s, however, in good lawyer logic they’ve removed the content because free publicity who needs that?

But the spokesbot was of course an Autobot. I’ve commented in the past that Decepticons are by far the most popular faction, however Hasbro’s merch caters heavily to promoting Autobots and goodness or something. You get lunchboxes, shirts, rectal thermometers, mostly donned with the red robo-kitty logo and not the purple robo-bird logo.
That’s robo-diculous.
And I don’t support the argument that there is Decepticon swag when you need to know a secret handshake and throw down almost 40 bucks for a crap quality shirt at Hot Topic.

What was I talking about?
Oh yeah, the Transformer PSA’s. If you’ll recall, the PSA’s ended with the odd choice of using the G.I. Joe cartoon’s tagline of “knowing is half the battle”. Gimme a second… “transform your life with the right choice” and “roll out and enjoy life”. There, in all of 27 seconds I came up with taglines that linked with the actual show. Anyhoo, I thought about what kind of advice you would get from a Decepticon, and the result is illustrated thusly with everybody’s favorite flamboyant backstabber.

Off on an art tangent: I decided to purchase bristol paper since that’s what I originally used when I got into this art gig all these eons ago. Good lord, it’s like meeting up with an old friend. I have been using crummy drawing paper which apparently is an ink vampire and kills your marker supplies quickly. I’m happy drawing the art and you’re happy looking at the art.
…And I’ve run out of things to talk about so fave the picture already!

Luckily these are G1 Transformers, so scale is of no concern.
