Description AND IF YOU THOUGHT THE OTHER ONE WASN'T ENOUGH.....
Behold. is fully deserving of his Art God status.
Look. At. This. 
I remember the first time I saw his lineart for this two-page spread, I just about lost my mind. Isn't it amazing???!?
I wanted to color it from the get-go. Like, HAD to color it.
But it's a LOOOOOOOOTT to keep track of. Not just the sheer level of "What the heck is this teeny bit here and how the heck should I color it?" (Prime's bit o' leg-I-think there at the bottom gave me fits. Ask my Art Night peeps how often I'd pound the table and wail, "Andrewwwww!!!") But also, with all the Insanity going on, How To Color The Whole Page So It Makes Sense. I PORED over PriscillaTR 's color-work in the series, trying to glean every bit of her Wisdom I could. But I was also very determined to Do My Own Thing(tm) with this. Because, hey, I can only be me. Anyway, this is the best I am capable of. There's a splodge of gloop on Prime's face in the bottom-right inset panel that's too light a value and takes too much attention to itself. Elita's gotten a bit lost, from when I darkened her because she too was being The Only Pink Thing On The Page. And Ironhide's gun-blast is completely blah. Other than that, I think I did a pretty good job. 
THANK YOU, Andrew, for letting me color these pages!!!!!! Yes, I sometimes whinged. But only because I CARED SO BLINKING MUCH about making the colors GOOD ENOUGH.
Much love, Sir.

Everyone, go out and buy the Foundation comic. It's a Movieverse comic that transcends the Movieverse. Seriously, Good Stuff and worth your time. It was John Barber and Andrew Griffith's first foray into working together, and look at all they have wrought by now! Huzzah, gentlemen. Huzzah.

Markers and a bit of white gel-pen on 11x17" comic board

Thanks pal. Yeah, it was a lot of fun, a lot of feeling overwhelmed by the challenge, and a lot of awe at Andrew's talent.
(This reminds me a little of your work, actually...)
Thanks as ever for your encouragement!

You did a great job! I don't even know how I would tackle a page likes this digitally never mind traditionally with markers, etc. You were right to darken Elita, I don't think she's too dark to be lost though. Any brighter and too much attention would've been drawn to her. Optimus in the spread looks GREAT!

SWEET METROPLEX
IN A MANKINI

Can you smell that burning aroma? That's your markers all melting from being worked so hard
I'm a total Bayformers fanboy, it's what summoned me into the GIANT EFFIN ROBOT multiverse, but there is just one nitpick I have. As this epic page shows, sometimes there's too much detail and not enough colours!

Autobutts are traditionally brightly coloured, and the way you've coloured this makes it obvious there are multiple robots. You can easily see what poses they are in, and what's happening. However, watching them "live action" on the big screen, especially the Decepticons with all their Battleship Grey and Gunmetal Grey and Starscream Grey, causes a blur of punches

Super special Mullety Golden Stars for making Elita Sensible Pink instead of Barbie Pink

tl;dr brain r confused by ha-hee doing bayformers, eyes aint even mad
