The official Transformers facebook page has posted the line art from first five pages of Transformers: Robots in Disguise Ongoing #5 along with creative commentary by artist Andrew Griffith. We've mirrored it below for those without facebook access.


Image

PAGE 1- We’ve got a brand new ship heading home, and we continue to see the evolution of Cybertron. Is it continuously challenging to make the planet different from issue to issue as it evolves, and how much leeway are you given on it?

ANDREW GRIFFITH: Well, the first thing a reader will likely notice about this page is how it echoes the first page of issue 1. Only instead of Hipotank and his pals arriving on Cybertron, it’s the lone Sky-Byte. I imagine one of the reasons John wrote it this way was to highlight the changes on Cybertron. There's been a lot of growth on the part of the planet as it goes though its rebirth pangs after it was reset by Vector Sigma in Chaos (see Transformers Vol. 7: Chaos).

I don't know if it's so much a challenge as a chance to just go a little more wild each time we see it


Image

PAGE 2- Splash page of the Autobots at base. Talk us through you’d plan out a page like this. Do they always turn out how you envisioned?

ANDREW GRIFFITH: Actually this one turned out pretty close to how I pictured it. You get to see the Autobots busy in the command center quite a bit in this series, don’t you? In addition to coming up with a different composition each time, I’m always trying to figure out exactly what they’d be doing, and try to put character in here who would make sense being in the command center. I imagine they’re busy monitoring local space for threats, directing air traffic for incoming ships, monitoring the infrastructure Wheeljack and the Constructicons had been building and the like. But mostly, I like to think that one of these guys is really just playing Galaga. Maybe Jazz. Yeah, definitely Jazz.


Image

PAGE 3- Sky-Byte returns to Transformers, after last being seen in the Robots in Disguise cartoon. Did you have to do much to him design wise to bring him into the G1 universe?

ANDREW GRIFFITH: Well, I was given pretty free reign on his design. It was in the script that he’d transform into a flying space shark. So I went from there and used the toy and his RID cartoon look as my main guide for how he'd look in RID, with a few practical changes, mostly as a result of changing his transformation sequence up a bit.


Image

PAGE 4- Prowl and Arcee converse. When you’re drawing the same characters over again for an ongoing series, do you do anything special to kind of keep them fresh every time you draw them?

ANDREW GRIFFITH: Yeah, it’s getting to be a bit of a pattern seeing Prowl and Arcee on the balcony together, isn’t it? The biggest challenge for me is getting each scene to look different from all the others. And that’s just a matter of staging, I guess. But Prowl only has so many places to meet with his secret assassin friend, and Arcee does so like to climb on tall space labs that have crash-landed on Cybertron.


Image

PAGE 5- Sky-Byte meets some of his fellow Cybretronians. On a typical day, how long would this page take to draw and ink and what kind of tools are you using?

ANDREW GRIFFITH: On a typical day? Well I usually can get a page done including pencils and inks in between one and two days. I recall this specific page taking me about a day and a half. I got to play with the shadows a good bit in this one since they’re sitting around a fire. Hopefully it came off alright.

I use your basic Blur Line Pro comic book art boards, though a particular kind that has ruler marks all around the edges and make lining up panel layout soooo much easier. I actually use a mechanical pencil made by Staedtler. I like the precision of it when I’m drawing mechanical things like Transformers, and it seems to stay sharper so much longer for me than a traditional pencil. As far as inks I use a combination of Micron pens, a variety of black markers and brush pens, pretty quick and dirty. I used to use more technical pens like Koh-I-Noor Rapidographs, but I just can’t keep up with deadlines constantly maintaining and cleaning those things.

Artist Alex Milne has shared more of his concept art from IDW's Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye by way of UK fansite Full Metal Hero. Below we have character designs for Fortress Maximus, Pharma, First Aid, and Ambulon.

so here are a few more designs for MTMTE. i would have posted them up sooner, but i've been pretty busy
so first we have fortmax. basically the same design of him from when i first designed him for the IDW universe back in spotlight arcee. there are a few tweaks to him that i was always meaning to do, but never had the time to do. with those tweaks i feel his more functional. i'll post his alt mode at a later date, or maybe just hold onto it until i put a sketchbook together. i haven't made up my mind just yet.

next we have pharma. the description James gave me was he turn into a jet. so i went from there and this is what i came up with. durning the design process i was talking with James to get a better understanding of the character and his relationship with ratchet. i proposed the idea that pharma should have a similar head design to ratchets since he was basically his protégé. also i felt it would make the two of them have a stronger connection. most of the medical team have the red and white colours to them, and that was something i wanted from the start. i felt it made it seem like you were in a hospital and all the doctors and nurses had the same uniform. but i added a few more colours to pharma to make him stand out more. i also had the idea to have the medical staff have a silver autobot emblem instead of the traditional red. i thought that would make them a bit different then normal autobots

first aid was a lot of fun to design. i was looking over his toy and cartoon models as a base for his look here, but i was also came up with some differences to match his personality for this story. i wanted him to be very slender. i felt he wouldn't be the heavy combat type, but more the thinker. at times he had to look a bit timid due to things which were going on in the story and with his character, so that played into my design. overall i like what i came up with.

last we have ambulon. i won't say too much about him. you'll have to wait for issue 5 to find out more about him ;p
enjoy

LEGENDARY VOICE ACTOR TO RECEIVE FIRST POSTHUMOUS INDUCTION INTO HASBRO’S TRANSFORMERS HALL OF FAME
Chris Latta, the Voice of Starscream, to Be Honored, Along With Prolific TRANSFORMERS Comic Writer Simon Furman and a New Crop of Robots, at Ceremony in Dallas, Texas on April 28

Pawtucket, R.I. (MARCH 9, 2012) - Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) is proud to announce the induction of two legendary figures in the evolution of the iconic TRANSFORMERS franchise-comic book writer Simon Furman, and legendary voice actor Chris Latta-into the TRANSFORMERS Hall of Fame. Furman has written TRANSFORMERS comics on and off for almost 30 years, and has written more TRANSFORMERS comic books than anyone else. Chris Latta voiced ten Transformers characters in the early animated series, including STARSCREAM and WHEELJACK. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1994, however his posthumous award will be accepted by his family at the TRANSFORMERS Hall of Fame ceremony, April 28, 2012, during BOTCON, the Official TRANSFORMERS Convention, in Dallas, Texas.

Founded in 2010 to honor those influential in creating and building the iconic TRANSFORMERS franchise, as well as actual "ROBOTS IN DISGUISE," the TRANSFORMERS Hall of Fame has previously honored writer Bob Budiansky, voice of Optimus Prime Peter Cullen, original TRANSFORMERS designers Yoke Hideaki and Kojin Ohno and the Director and Executive Producer of the live-action film trilogy, Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg.

Simon Furman: Simon Furman is one of the most recognized and respected names in the world of TRANSFORMERS comic books. Furman began his run on TRANSFORMERS comics writing the first UK version of the TRANSFORMERS imprint. Later on, Furman took over the role of writer on the U.S. comic adaptation beginning with issue 56 and ending with issue 80, the final comic to be published in the series. In 1993 with the reintroduction of the TRANSFORMERS brand under the "Generation 2" banner, Furman was once again tapped to pen the 12 issue comic series. Nearly ten years later, Furman returned to the world of mainstream TRANSFORMERS comics as part of the "Dreamwave" writing staff. Simon Furman now writes for IDW comics, where in 2012 and by popular demand, he was asked to continue the story of the original TRANSFORMERS comics right where he had left off beginning with issue 81 of TRANSFORMERS ReGeneration One.

Chris Latta: The first TRANSFORMERS animated television series began to air in 1984, and as part of the original cast, voice actor Chris Latta helped breathe life into these animated robotic characters.
Chris Latta began his voice over career in the late 1970s. In 1983, Latta joined the cast of the G.I. JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO animated series as COBRA COMMANDER, the leader of the evil mega maniacal organization COBRA. Later, on the TRANSFORMERS series, Latta pioneered the role of STARSCREAM, a back handed and conniving character that constantly plotted to usurp his leader MEGATRON for control over the DECEPTICONS. Latta’s portrayal of both STARSCREAM and COBRA COMMANDER have made these characters two of the most iconic and widely recognized in their respective brands. Unfortunately, Chris Latta passed away in 1994; however his family will be on hand at the Hall of Fame event to accept the award on his behalf.


Hasbro will also induct four more iconic robot characters into the TRANSFORMERS Hall of Fame. Heroic AUTOBOT JAZZ, fan-favorite DINOBOT GRIMLOCK and evil DECEPTICON SHOCKWAVE will all be honored. In addition, TRANSFORMERS fans around the world are able to vote on TRANSFORMERS.com for a fourth robot to receive the 2012 "Fans’ Choice" honor. Fan-chosen nominees include ARCEE, MEGATRON (BEAST WARS), WHEELJACK, RODIMUS and SKY-BYTE. The winner will be revealed for the first time at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony at "BOTCON" on April 28, 2012. Voting is open from now until March 21st on TRANSFORMERS.COM

First introduced in 1984 by Hasbro and Takara as a toy line, the TRANSFORMERS brand
has provided kids with hours of MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE fun with their action figures that convert from robot to vehicles and back again. Legions of boys around the world grew up creating fantastic adventures and battles set on both the planet CYBERTRON and Earth that featured the "good-guy" AUTOBOTS and the "bad-guy" DECEPTICONS. Since then, more than 7500 robots have been introduced in countless animated TV series, comic books and three live-action feature films.

Transformers Prime Q&A: Arcee Voice Actress Sumalee Montano

The Transformers facebook page has posted a brief Q&A with Transformers Prime's Sumalee Montano, the voice of Arcee. The session has been mirrored below for those of you without facebook access.

Chalrie Levitz asks: What was your favorite Arcee episode in season 1 and why?

Sumalee Montano: For me it’s a tie between Predatory and Crisscross. I love Crisscross because of the amazing fight and scenes between Starscream and Arcee. Both characters are at their utter best…and worst!!!

Predatory is also a favorite of mine because of the style and tone of the episode. It’s strikingly different from the others episodes, and it’s a huge turning point in Arcee’s character development. We meet her nemesis, Airachnid, and gain insight into Arcee’s vulnerabilities: her guilt over her partners’ deaths, losing those she cares about (Jack), and struggling with a desire for revenge (against Airachnid). Those are some pretty hefty character traits that, as an actor, I really enjoyed delving into.

Ryan Mulligan asks: How was it taking part in a show with such classic voice actors?

Sumalee Montano: Mind-blowingly awesome! I’m a big believer in surrounding yourself with people who inspire you. And not only is this cast insanely talented, but everyone is so nice, generous, and giving – an absolute joy to be around! It truly feels like a family, and I’m convinced I’m the luckiest girl in the world to be a part of it. Plus, we laugh together sooooo much. It’s an incredible blessing and an honor.

Amanda Butt asks: How have you adapted your approach to Arcee's voice over time? When watching the early episodes it sounds like you played a more feminine angle, whereas by later episodes she sounds more dry and sarcastic. Was that intentional? And if so, what about her character is it you respond to and use to shape her voice?

Sumalee Montano: That wasn’t intentional, but I definitely appreciate your attention to detail. When we started, I focused on Arcee’s toughness, which vocally came from a certain posture and physical stance that I used (and still use) in our recording sessions. I chose a very specific way to stand in relationship to the mic/mic stand that makes me feel my strongest and most powerful. As time went on, I was able to “fill in” my physical stance with Arcee’s history and life experiences. Living through those things in my mind affects and shapes the voice.

Abby Ryan Cluster asks: As a female VO artist, how fun/hard/interesting do you find working in what some think is a "boys’ club?"

Sumalee Montano: Being an actor is interesting, fun, and continually challenging. I love my job! I don’t really think about it as being a boys’ club. Although that kind of thinking can push you to work even harder, which can be a good thing. But I basically see myself as a “guy’s girl,” so I always appreciate an opportunity to hang with the guys. :)

Jordan Hobbins asks: Are you planning on buying the toys?

Sumalee Montano: YES! All the toys! They’ll be great replicas of these hopefully indelible characters. There’s also a fun coincidence related to the new Arcee toy. I was talking to a friend on the East Coast who I hadn’t spoken with for years. I didn’t know she was part of the team working on Arcee’s toy packaging, and she didn’t know that I was the voice of Arcee. When I told her, she exclaimed, “Hey, I just worked on Acree’s toy earlier today!”

I love it when you discover how Transformers touches so many people’s lives and brings us together.

BWTF has posted interviews with Transformers Prime voice actors Sumalee Montano and Tania Gunadi, who voice Arcee and Miko respectively. The full interviews can be viewed at the following links: Sumalee Montano, Tania Gunadi

How would you describe Miko? What is your favorite aspect of the character? Could you tell us any more about her character and how you approached the role?

Miko is a 15 year old Japanese girl who loves her freedom! She loves adventures, punk clothing, playing guitar, hangin’ out with Bulkhead at Monster Truck Rallies, and of course, she loves inviting herself to go on any and all missions with the Autobots- especially the dangerous ones. Ha! Not to mention, she very much likes to break rules. Hmm..I’m kinda’ like that too, a bit, so my approach to the role was to have as much fun as I could possibly have leading up to and throughout each recording session!


Image


Arcee is very different than many fans expected. She's tough, haunted, caring, smart and fierce all in one package. Did you expect such nuance in the character when you originally read for her? Is there anything of yourself that you have injected into the character to add a layer to her personality?

Based on the audition script I was given, I didn’t anticipate such a cool exploration of her haunted past. But I love that we got a chance to live through it, so people can really understand where she’s coming from and how her character grows.

I think an actor necessarily injects who he/she is into every character. That’s the beauty of it. No two actors can ever play the same role in the same way, because we’re all different. If I’m doing my job right, there is quite a bit of me in Arcee. Not all of me, of course, but definitely certain parts. I love her determination, her sassiness, and her vulnerability. I think you really see that human aspect of her through her relationship with Jack and how much she cares about him.

From our good friend Jim Sorenson over at the Disciples of Boltax Blog, a new post regarding a very intriguing piece of Transformers history that will be auctioned off for a great cause. Jim writes that a group of fans recently pooled their resources together to purchase an early, draft script from the 1986 animated film Transformers: The Movie. The script, dated April 27, 1985, reveals that while many of the key scenes in the movie were already set, many details in the story were envisioned quite differently.

Below is an excerpt of the script from the Disciples of Boltax post that highlight a grizzly Autobot death during the Battle of Autobot City

Disciples of Boltax wrote:
ON AUTOBOT BAND
as we see Blaster in command. With him are WINDCHARGER, MIRAGE and
GEARS and all are practically back to back, FIRING UP AT
SURROUNDING DECEPTICONS

BLASTER
Keep feed in , 'em fusion fritters
'n laser latkes! We ain't finished
yet!

GEARS
But not far from it! Our energy
is running low.

BLASTER
Then throw somethin' at 'em, babe!
Man, there ain't nothin' no Decepticon's
gonna get from me but flame and shame!
Yo!

ANOTHER ANGLE - GEARS
as Cyclonus swoops past and BOMBS GEARS TO PIECES, the force of
the blast THROWS WINDCHARGER UP and away from cover

BLASTER
Gears ! Oh, man ....
(looks up)

HIS P.O.V. - WINDCHARGER
as several of Cyclonus' planes JET THROUGH HIM, ~RING HIM TO
PIECES which rain down on Blaster's position

BLASTER
as arm, leg , torso of Windcharger rain down

BLASTER
I think the time has come to
hide my pride and .... run!

Blaster RUNS followed by Mirage and other in Autobot party as
they dodge behind rubble and duck as WALL OF CITY COMES FALLING
in the way of their pursuers and we
CUT TO HOT ROD, ARCEE AND DANIEL BEHIND COVER


What's incredibly cool is that the script is being offered up for free download via the Disciples of Boltax site. We've mirror a copy HERE at Seibertron.com with Jim's permission. The original script will be auctioned off at a later time with the proceeds set to go to the Hasbro Children's Hospital. As soon as we know more details about the auction, we'll let you know.

In the meantime, you can check out the full post on the Disciples of Boltax Blog here.

Earlier today, fellow Seibertronian Giga Zarak contacted us to inform us that our old site articles section was missing. Truth be told, I think it's been M.I.A. for at least a few years now. Fortunately, I had the old articles in a database table still so I imported them into our news section for all of you to enjoy. Some of these articles are press releases, old newspaper articles from the 80s, or articles that I wrote for Seibertron.com's predecessor "Trans-Forum" (which was a Transformers fanzine I ran from 1996 to 1999).

Comments will be unavailable for these topics at this time. If someone can help by creating forum topics for them in the appropriate forums and by sending a list of the titles and URLs for these articles, I'll hook up these old articles with the new forum topics.

In the meantime, here's some fun reading from Seibertron.com to bring back some memories this fine spring weekend.
