I've set myself an 'Alphabet Challenge' for 2018.
Each week I will move through the alphabet and make a piece of art related to whichever letter I have reached. It might be a tv show, film, character or vehicle - whatever pops into my head.
We've reached week 13 and now half way through round one of the challenge and we reach M. Well, who else could we have besides that badass Decepticon leader himself - Megatron!
Seen here storming his way through the hull of an Autobot ship.
"When we slip past their early warning systems in their own shuttle, the Autobots will be vanquished forever."
"NO!"
Takes out Ironhide with a single shot to the head. "Such heroic nonsense!"
So, kudos to KingdomMay for guessing the correct answer!
Done with polychromos pencils and built up in layers, utilising my pressure application and layering techniques, the picture consists of 27 colours.
Megatron's head was done with white, light blue, Payne's grey, black, deep scarlet red, cold grey 2 and cold grey 4.
His body was done with white, violet, light blue, black, cold grey 2 and cold grey 4.
His plasma cannon was done with black and cold grey 5.
The hull fragments were done with white, light magenta, light yellow ochre, terracotta, burnt ochre, Venetian red, black, middle cadmium red, cold grey 2, cold grey 3, cold grey 5, mauve and burnt umber.
The cables and piping were done with white, magenta, violet, light blue, black, cold grey 5, Prussian blue and mauve.
The blast effect was done with white, light magenta and medium flesh.
The smoke was done with white, light magenta, light red violet, violet, Indian red, deep scarlet red, mauve, warm grey 3 and burnt umber.
The little bit of Starscream you can see was done with ultramarine, black, cold grey 4 and warm grey 3.
Scrapper just behind him was done with violet, earth green yellowish, black and cadmium yellow lemon.
The space backdrop was done with black.
Completion time: 3 hours 49 minutes

My G1 is safely in storage to prevent light degradation.

Same series for Beachcomber and Brawn is from the Titans Return line

Yeah I have some of my old stuff in plastic containers too. Years ago I got this cool G1 Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and Spike figures online from Takara. They don't transform, but they look exactly like the cartoons. Prime and Megatron have interchangeable hands.

I still kept my G1 Transformers
Got some of the reissues and special editions. All of Beast Wars / Machines, all of Armada, most of the movies until TLK and then switched to Titans Return / Power Of The Primes.
Those figures sound great.

Beast Wars was actually a good show, but I didn't care much for BeastMachines. But they did a good job on the figures . I had Transmetal Optimus Primal, Transmetal Megatron, Rattrap, Cheator and Silverbolt. Always liked his voice and demeanor.

Starfire-Productions In reply to PLASTIC-ROBOT-COMIC [2018-05-05 10:51:21 +0000 UTC]
The one thing that annoyed me about Beats Machines was turning Rhinox into a bad guy. That's didn't sit well with me.
Still, the anniversary issue larger scale Beast Wars Rhinox is excellent.
I know there are Japanese Masterpiece BW versions of Rhinox, Cheetor Rattrap and Primal but they're just way too expensive.

PLASTIC-ROBOT-COMIC In reply to Starfire-Productions [2018-05-05 12:30:58 +0000 UTC]
Yeah Rhinox being made into Tankor and being evil didn't go well with me either, but then again nothing was good about Beast Machines. Except Megatron's little drone assitant and Jetstorm.

Starfire-Productions In reply to PLASTIC-ROBOT-COMIC [2018-05-05 14:14:26 +0000 UTC]
Well, it was hemmed in story wise by the whole predestination paradox of Beast Wars so there was only so much they could do.
I thought it wasn't bad, not the best Transformers series but certainly not the worst.

Folks love a bad guy
The 80's animated style is one of my favourite types to do. It has very specific rules and details that make it work.
Thanks. Hopefully he won't disintegrate me!

I love the look of 80's animation
There's a very distinct style and a close use of whit line colour separation that is unique to that style of animated adventure.
Thanks

Awesome work again Steve! I really like how you can't tell that this was done using pencils, it's so clean and nicely done. And Megatron is probably one of my favourite Transformers (well, aside from Grimlock I guess! ) Great work once again!
p.s. are you aware of the two notes I sent you the other day? I guess you are but thought I'd ask

There's plenty of lines on this that give it away if you look closely but yes, a lot of round tip, steep angle, hard pressure colour work.
Next week, Megatron vs Michael
Yes I am, on my list of things to do. Still playing catch up from two days training.
