i've read the comments above and it sounds like they really did make "hearts of steel..." but i was wondering when it was released.

This is INSANE. Heck, YOU are insane. I've got HoS #1, but there's just something really awesome about seeing the pencils behind it. In-freakin-credible amount of detail...

*ahem* one last thing: are they at least hiring an good inker to work with you in this project? They should, because it would be a shame to destroy such a beautiful pencil work with crappy inks or not inking it at all...

about inks: issue 1 was all inked by me, but because all those details, crosshatching and blacks, it was really time consuming and causing delays. So by issue 2 there will be another inker, it looks good.
Oh well, perhaps I should move in doing only covers/illustrations and put everything I want in my drawings...

Another thing: I remember when you said that you were having fun doing the Universe comics. Just by seeing these pieces from HoS I can tell you're having much more fun than that, because these pages are telling me so. Congratulations, because you deserve it. I've always told you that.

It's true, I really enjoyed doing Wreckers/Universe: Beast Wars, G1 all in the same comics.
In Hearts of Steel I even had the chance to do some redesigns, and it was very cool -even if it has been hard to convert TF to 1800's technology style!
I'd like if some of my designs would be used in some toys (Titanium?) but I don't think this is gonna happens.

It's incredible the attention you pay to detail.
At a first glance I thought it was Optimus in the bottom of the page. Then I saw Optimus right behind there, and noticed all the evil curly things in the bottom robot and said "this can't be Optimus, it must be some evil robot". Then I noticed the forehead crest and the shoulder mounted canon and realized it was Soundwave. All of this BEFORE I have seen the "Soundwave wannabe" annotation right under it, LOL

Not only him, but it's nice to recognize some other characters in their beast forms. You sir are a true master of design and I hope Hasbro give you proper attention in the future. Unfortunately not many people can recognize a real comic artist when they see one, but the big companies should.

Makoto I really appreciate your words.... it's cool how very often I said similar things about you drawing the best transformers around! I mean, you draw the *real* Transformers, as from directly from the '80... if it was for me I wouldn't go so far in this "redesign galore" in recent comics!
I'm sure that readers would love to have a TF comic entirely drawn with your "anime" style, nobody would complain!
