Unbelievable. This is great. And like I said to the last one, SO MUCH DETAILLLL.
It took me a while, but I think I can figure out who's shown in this.

It's definately well drawn but my first reaction was.. Aahhh so many bodies! I have a hard time sorting out individuals in a drawing like that BUT! It forces me to take extra time to really look at it and appreciate it

This is wicked. The detail is so good and the way you've drawn the actions so well is amazing! Even Optimus would think it's prime. Get it? cause you know he's Optimus...Prime...

Man oh MAN...you work HARD and you deserve to be up there!!! Whoa!!! O_O I'm amazed by the amount of work you put into this piece!!!
As far as suggestions, I agree with others who mention the lines, the busy composition, etc. It's easier said than done to just do it, but I'm certain you could!! Definitely, differing line weights for "focus" would be great. I won't lie, I didn't know WHERE Starscream was while I was reading others' comments about his hot expression and stuff! XD Now that's more me, but yeah.
That aside, Starscream is just...UNGH with that expression!! Love it!! And I love that they all look especially fervent in their battle there!

Thanks
I did lines of weight but they got a bit lost in all that composition :/
Everyone loved Starscream XD

Welcome!
Ahhhh, the time it happens most I find is when I'm just engrossed in a picture. It just feels so right! And then someone stomps on my dreams. ;_; *hug* Hope I wasn't that bad to your pic though! I love it!
And how can they NOT love Starscream there! That expression really is the icing on the cake!!

I honestly liked yours the best of all the top 10, and I thought you should have placed higher because everyone is so PERFECT. I honestly don't care if someone isn't engaging with someone else, yea that can be more dynamic, but this piece is so incredibly dynamic anyway, I like it that some are just watching and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Starscream = <3 in this piece. His smirk is absolutely perfect and I love him in every way. Every line is just so... incredible... I can't even comprehend how long this must have taken you...
...can I color it? *bounces up and down*

Actually the idea for this was that they were caught by surprise by the two giants, that's why the action is kinda still there. I tought it would be funny.
Sure, go for it! I can even send you an higher resolution if you note me your email.

This is amazing! Its really hard to do a composition this big and with these characters and with this amount of detail plus the sense of perspective
Nothing to say about the drawing itself! You do a great jog doing each characters you really get it right. The composition has various points of action you can actually split it up in few pieces and it still seems like something is happening but... something about the point in which the fight is in... the pint of total defeat or the point of still fighting that gets confusing if both of them get inside the same shot... like telling something in one image! in this case they are losing or they are fighting... it gets a little confusing in which point is the action in this shot.
I'd go for more blasts like a... star wars final space battle,lots of blasts and explosions and more damage in the ones that are down
The sense of perspective is great but you could also use it on the chars that are closer to one another thus increasing the feeling of distance.
Maybe try and make the composition as if you could cut them in half and make a cover of each part or a wraparound cover or something each half works well alone but together they become something more!
I kinda stretched myself in the comment... ^^
Hope they do a coloring contest too I'd love to see what would come out of it!

The intention was to be a surprise picture, they were being caught in surprise that's why the action is kinda... static. Thanks for your comment, I'll keep that in mind

This is one of those gaint-poster types pictures. It is great how you manage to arrange the bots so that the picture seem interesting with all the clean and stunning details. The first bots that caught my eye was Metroplex and Grimlock.
Saw that IDW play at home contest details, and thought that it was really a lot of mechs to fit into a picture without over-crowding (especially with a city-bot), but you manage to pull it off. Kudos to you!
Now all you need is an equally awsome colourist.

Thanks! I almost had an heart-attack when I saw the list. It was quite a challenge but fun at the same time. I'm working on its coloring (:

I got pretty scared myself when I first read the list I had to draw but it's always a challenge (: I'm glad you liked it, I hope I can get to color it soon.

Hmm... I almost feel like there's too much going on. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's confusing to look at. 
I like that you filled in the borders-- like with Ravage in the corner.
And I adore Starscream's smirk. 
Just my two cents.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I know what you mean. It's just when I draw something I'm already thinking about how it will look like once colored. Usually I do all the art or just the coloring of something.
I filled the borders of the other guys too but they got lost in the mess
Thanks for pointing those out, I'll be more careful next time!
π: 0 β©: 1
....If that made any sense whatsoever. 
Overall I like this drawing because I can clearly see how you inked stuff-- which is what I'm trying to learn now.

It is great!! It feels epic in all the sense. The color would be a rock, of course.
