Description Originally, this was my submission to ^J-Z-Belexes 's contest to illustrate his stories. I didn't finish on time. Along the way, this developed into a very detailed, light-oriented picture. I am rather pleased with how it turned out, and I also want to give thanks to the people who came out to livestream to watch while I finished this

Oh, man. I remember being in middle school, and our cable network dropped BW after the first season for some reason or another. It wasn't until one or two years later that Cartoon Network did a special where they aired BW for a week -- Code of Hero, Transmutate, and the Agenda I, II, and III. Code of Hero was the WORST episode to watch after not seeing the first half of season two. I was laying on my parents' bed watching it and bawling my eyes out. Even though I hadn't seen the show in two years, and been disassociated from the characters, that episode proved the writers' skills for making a tear-jerker.

And also, it was the first time I saw Rampage. He blew up a mountain. Then he had an exclusive, equally tear-jerking episode. Needless to say, I was hooked on Rampage from that point on.

it was the only one that used storyboards, instead of the ol' "make-it-up-as-I-go", and the writers directed this one

also BW was a Canadian-made TV series, just like its CGI predecessor Reboot

Wow this is great is several ways; I like the way Dinobot came out of course, but the real icing on the cake is the level of detail you put into the background. It's kind of like a movie poster or, more appropriately considering what you made it for, a book cover

Dänke schön! *bows* To be honest, the level of detail that I imagine Cybertron has would have completely overwhelmed the picture. When I see it, I picture multicoloured lights (staying on the red-purple-blue spectrum), lots of scaffolding with buildings in progress, ships and floating advertisements everywhere, the works. The very essence of what people picture when they think of the future. I would have loved to depicted all of the finer details, but I had to limit myself to keep from going to the extreme.

And maybe I can upload a second version that has text on it

You did well for your time constraints, you'd have to be a miracle worker to add all that in for a piece intended for a competition (I imagine it would take at least a couple of months to do). And, really, if the background was too cluttered it'd likely take the focus off Dinobot. So I hope you're not dissapointed, despite your original intentions for the piece, because it is still good to look at; plenty of texttures and colours, nice lines, a focus point so my eyes don't wander like a lost puppy, and it's big

A texted version would indeed be cool to see actually; I'll keep my eyes peeled but don't feel oblieged to make it if you don't want to (I hate making people feel pressured).
