Description My version of Megatron that is a cross between his G1 appearance and his current IDW appearance.   I like how it turned out personally.    I made this to go with the spirit of the current IDW comic book run of Transformers: Lost Light.  That is where I got the title for the image from if you were curious.   

Personally, I would like to thank Livio Ramondelli for giving me the inspiration to continue to improve and try new things with my artwork to see what kinds of results I can come up with and how to make a good picture better.   He's one of the best comic book artists I've seen and personally the only one I actually know and talk to sometimes.   Though without his artwork to look over and the books I have that he's illustrated, I don't know if I would have gone the direction I've been going with the steady improvements to my Transformers artworks.    I don't know if I can ever do what he does,  though I would be able to die a happy man just to have one of my images be included in an issue of a Transformers comic someday.   Even if it's just one of those splash art images that you find in the back of Trade Paperback collections.    Not holding my breath on it though... Though it is something I often dream of as a hope or goal.    I love the Transformers and I love drawing them (Especially Megatron if you have not noticed),   I've loved them since I was 5 years old and the show was brand new in the U.S. and they have been a part of my life ever since.    To maybe one day make something that would be printed in an issue would be something I never would have expected growing up... Though as an adult now, I've put so much time and work into improving myself and my art.   Just in the hopes of being maybe noticed one day with it.    Not to be hired on as a panel artist, I don't think I'm that good.  But I would LOVE doing cover arts or just splash art images for the books perhaps.    Just as a freelancer.   It would be something that I would forever be proud of and I think it would actually cause me to cry from happiness.   I've not done that in so many years I can't remember the last time to be honest.  But with all the amazing artists out there who do this kind of work, some better, some less so, It's hard to be seen in the sea of images that are done every day.       But just meeting one of my favorite artists and being able to become friends is something that I never would have expected either... So maybe hope and continued work and effort may pay off one day.    It's worth it to at least try I feel.  

I hope you enjoy this picture.  It's one of my favorite images of Megatron that I sketched out about a year or two ago and forgot about utnil earlier this week.   Found it in an old USB and started working on it again.   Though how I am happy I have learned how to do so much more than I could back then.   So I kinda had to re-do all my old line work before even starting the shading and color.  THis was very much work of effort to get it how I wanted.  But it turned out better than I could have hoped honestly.  
If you like, please let me know and feel free to share it on Facebook or other social media site you are on.  It would help a LOT to have the attention brought to my works.    

Thank you very much.

I don't read the comics, but Frank Welker's voice for Megatron just oozes too much evil to work as a good guy.

Hey, I was born before the TFers ever existed... WHen they came to the U.S.  I was nearly 5, so I remember them as a major part of my childhood and forever after that.  The G1 series has a very special place in my heart.   But this new series by IDW is SO SO well written and deep with each character that it just is beyond description.   Megatron is perfect in this roll.   Even as an Autobot... He's a natural leader.    And seeing him command Autobots to victory and saving lives is something I never thought I would EVER see... And when I see it, it's still blows me away and makes me just love it so much more.    Megatron is bad ass no matter what faction he is on.   Seriously.

Thank you so much.    I really appreciate that.   I was hoping it would come across well with others as much as it did me.

you're welcome.  In my own fanfic main series I end up rehab-ing Megatron, but it's a long slow process.

Starscream....  What is it you are wanting now?   You are the King of Cybertron, spoke out in favor of my execution during my trial... And now flatter me...  You are lucky I am working so hard to change my ways or your reign as King would have been a short one.

well I never said I meant it..you must've missed the sarcasm..besides..I don't have to suffer any of your beatings anymore 
and yes Cybertron is mine as it was always meant to be..All Hail Lord Starscream!

I just wanted to know how the autobot life is treating you

Darth-Pravius In reply to SeekerDestroy [2017-05-18 02:38:31 +0000 UTC]

Better these days at least..  I no longer get sideways stares from other Autobots...  I've become accepted and trusted as a member of a team... A family even.... It's... unexpected.    And difficult more than anything I've ever attempted to do what the AUtobots have worked for all these years... All the lives at risk everywhere..> And when the call for help comes... I cannot turn away... ANd I won't turn away.... Not anymore.

hmmm..interesting to say the least..I never expected this out of you who spent so many years destroying them.

Cybertron has flourished under my rule & it is as grand as it was in the golden days

Yes... it does look cleaner now after what Shockwave did.   Though  I hear Galavatron now leads the Decepticons and continues to keep them alive as a faction... I assume you are able to handle them with your leadership over the Cybertronian military?     I cannot come rescue you upon a moments notice, just to let you know...  I have my own mission finding the Knights of Cybertron.   And still a long way to go before I feel I can even begin to forgive myself for what I have done.

you & i could've made a good team..if that little abuse thing hadn't happened..sometimes I miss you Megatron 

I am able to handle them as well as being the Air Commander of the Seekers

Perhaps... Though I feel you would have eventually tried to have me killed in order to take my position....   But  no sense dwelling on that or the past...      Don't get youself killed, Cybertron elected you as the King...  They must see something in you good enough to gain that from Autobots, Decepticons and the Factionless.    They need you.     

I must go...  If I'm gone too long, Rodimus will have likely had time to set up some sort of prant for me to walk into... I'll not give him that pleasure so long as I live.

I would hope not as well..  You know you wouldn't survive.    Even if I am a pacifist. I still won't lose.   *walks back to the Lost Light with a grin."
