Description I found this cover a few months ago but couldn't quite find the right image to go with it until today when I thought Polaris would be an excellent foil for the Transformers. I've always liked Havok and Polaris as a couple and I think she's hugely underestimated. I've also liked both of her outfits, this one designed by Jim Steranko and her purple one designed by Dave Cockrum. I'm not a big fan of her being Magneto's daughter, which seems terribly clichéd, but that's just me.

Confession time: as far as Optimus Prime and his crew/foes go... well, I've never read any of their comics, watched the cartoons or any of the movies. I know they have a ton of fans and my kids loved them, but for me, not so much. Nothing bad, just personal likes and dislikes. But as heroes and opponents go, I think they have great potential on these covers.

Optimus is gonna have words with a certain robot in disguise who was in Polaris' bathroom while she was taking a shower.

Ummmm... this sounds interesting. I thought the bots could only adopt vehicle shapes, no bathroom fixtures. 😃

I was actually thinking along the lines of a radio or a clock.
