Description
Here's my character study for Optimus Prime during my run on issues 9-12 of the Transformers ongoing series.(Published on 2010 by IDW Publishing)
It was used only in the issues I worked on, when the editor gave total creative freedom to each artist.

This is by far the best Pic of Optimus Prime ever!

Seems like a pic where only one half was done, then flipped and matched up to make the other side. Even the tiny line mistakes are perfectly symmetrical.

You guessed right indeed!
The original art is only half of its headless body, and the head was taken from another picture.

I really liked this variation. The way both Optimus and Hot Rod conveniently had spoiler wings on their back for these chapters was also very neat storytelling wise. Even if it most likely was an accident.
Keep it up!

Would it be possible to get a Side View and a Rear view so I can please create a 3D model of this bad_@$$ sketch?

pretty wicked as usual Guido. I am a messy scribbler myself, so your lines always impress me. however the symmetry is too perfect to be human....did you mirror this image or are you just a god? maybe you are a mech with a pretender shell?

Nice blend of the G1 original design and the Classics update.

Interesting, he seems to be largely based on the classics version, but with more G1 homages and Action Master Optimus's head

Thanks - actually the head is the one Don Figueroa designed for Prime early in the ongoing series

Your version does look more like the Action Master version, I think it is the way the points on the head are more pronounced

The best Transformer there ever is and will be. To be honest, he doesn't look that much different from his G1 incarnation (this picture gives me RID vibes), but that doesn't bother me at all (the bookstores I frequent hardly ever have TF comics). I'll love the boss-bot no matter what he looks like

That's really impressive especially the amount of details.

The boss-bot looks great. Is he ready to kick Decepticon ass and win the hearts and minds of the American people?

Just can't help admiring him when looking at this.
Great job! A perfect re-imagining for this generation and as iconic as ever!
