Description “Night Viper & Co.: Escape from Cybertropolis”
Prints available: 10"x8" and 14"x11"
Megatron's crashed head/ship thing in the last few episodes of Beast Machines was to me one of the most striking visuals of the series (especially after it became a part of the technorganic landscape ). I realized that I could use it in a play on one of my favorite movie posters, but then who should stand in for the characters? I love spotlighting Transformers who never showed up in the main media, so I pulled from those in the BM line who existed only as toys at the time. Scavenger drones seemed a natural fit for the angry mob, and I thought the sky needed a few Spy Streaks. The sole toy-only Maximal who wasn't identified as male was Geckobot, whose packaging bio contained no pronouns. So there was my Maggie! Snarl's bio calls him a "component of the Maximal command", so I put him in place of the President. And I picked Night Viper to be Snake Plissken because I mean, clearly.

Excellent use of referencing Escape from New York in this. Beast Machines always had that post-apocalyptic vibe to it and it's well done in this. Plus by having the characters from the series that were not in the show to begin with be the central focus is a nice treat. So well done with this.
