“Team Elita vs. Shockwave: Till All Are Free”
Prints available!
This is a companion piece to this one.

In the original cartoon, while most of the stories focused on the Earth-based Transformers, Cybertron was under Decepticon control. There, a resistance cell composed entirely of female Autobots led by Elita One operated under such secrecy that the planetary ruler, Shockwave, believed that female Autobots had gone "extinct". But in the episode that introduced them, their cover was blown, which opened up their operations to be more aggressive as well as more perilous. The cartoon never returned to their adventures, but Cybertron remained under Decepticon rule for another 20 years - plenty of time for the team to get up to all manner of hijinks.

Here I envision their guerilla warfare having a propaganda element. The team members highlighted in their marquee episode were Elita One, Moonracer, Chromia, and Firestar. Since their existence was no longer secret, why not make themselves into actual symbols of revolution?

I've also uploaded the un-defaced poster, which was inspired by this bit of WWII propaganda. (While that's actually an American anti-Nazi poster, the Nazis' actual designs weren't that far removed.) Plus I had some fun making an op-art version that more closely mirrors my inspiration for the wording.
