Description
It's based on the episode "Divide and Conquer."I wanted it to feel like a presidential assassination. Prime is being operated on and everybody has a slightly different reaction to Laserbeak's attack. Wheeljack and Ratchet lean in to protect him, Jazz yells to stop the intruder, Bumblebee crouches to protect Spike and Chip, etc., etc. Sort of chaotic. Plus I wanted to do something dramatic with the pool of light - make it feel painterly, epic. I think I lost some of the scale, but I wanted to establish a full setting also.
Sadly, I think Prime himself gets lost in the pool of light when he's surrounded by so many dynamic poses. Oh well ...

There are few times when I find a picture so amazing, I'm struck speechless and have to sit drooling at my screen until I'm able to form an actual comment. I love the detail that you've put into this, the different reactions, the style that you did it in, everything just creates a very urgent, chaotic scene. There is a sort of order to it, but you really nailed it in my opinion.

Reminds me of something from a G1 episode. The poses are excellent, and Prime certainly isn't lost in this one as he is surrounded. The lighting is excellent, and while the colors are somewhat subdued, it adds rather than detracts from the overall composition. Great work.

The G1 goodness of this really just makes me giddy inside. Yes, giddy. I've seen a lot of TF fanart, but this is by far and without a doubt on my short list of favorites. G1 will always be the continuity for me, and you've captured it perfectly here; but made it a lot cooler than its (admittedly) cheesy 80s counterpart. I love the way you've got everyone juxtaposed. That can be really hard to do with that many characters, but you pulled it off great. I especially like Ratchet, he looks great. And Bumblebee protecting the humans is a good touch. I love your lines, I love your coloring, and I REALLY love the lighting. Seriously, everything about this makes me very, very happy! Thanks for uploading!

Wow. 
And this kinda reminds me of βLost Episodes' concept that the-Gearsmith has going...

I absolutely love it. It looks amazing. I immediately recognized the scene when I saw it and everyone's expression and the lighting looks great to me.

Whoa, this is pretty wicked. There's so much going on in the pic, it takes a moment to reel it all in. I love everyone's poses/reactions to Laserbeak's presence. It's all so in-character, and they all look so alive in the heat of the threat. The lighting and shade and supremely done. Blew me away when I first stumbled across this amazing pic. Excellent work with it all!

Amazing! It seems a work of a Cybertronian Michelangelo!

It's a fantastic image, maybe tilting it and cropping a little to remove all the emty space in the lower right corner would up the drama and get the focus back on Prime?
Seriously impressive bit of work

It looks exactly like a better, more realistic version of the original G1 cartoon. 
I don't think Optimus Prime gets lost in the scene. For me, his glowing optics draw me in, and then I take a good look and realize how vulnerable he is lying there.

It's a very active picture. I love it! From the coloring to the poses to the expressions!

Thanks. I'm trying to get more storytelling into my images, rather than your generic Transformers battle pose (which is cool too). Glad it came across.

I think that you definitely nailed that aspect. A lot of individual personality comes out in this.

I love how you captured Huffer's terror XD
great job with it!

Yep. He's hilarious that way. I think somebody should cut together a bunch of snippets of his whining

that would be a pretty funny clip, especially if they ended it with the one where Ironhide covered his mouth to shut him up XD

Supreme!

Thank you. Do you remember the episode? I was afraid nobody would : |

Oh yeah. That's the episode where Optimus takes on the Seekers and they manage to whoop up on him. Not to mention it was one of the funner Con and Autobot battles.

WOW! That is awesome! Great job with all the poses and the lighting. Really feels like an updated version of the original cartoon in a lot of ways.
