When we first joined forces with artist James Raiz to help him produce a print (nay, two) for TFCon, we did not know what was in store for fans of both Transformers and G.I. Joe! We voted on the characters, started seeing what was to come... and now, finally, we get a proper look at the final result for the Autobots/Joes print, coloured by Kieran Oats!

If you took part in the voting process, look out for your screen name to feature in the video below, too, and feast your optics on this great homage to the movieverse by an true industry talent.

Mr. Raiz, thank you for the awesome art piece and for being an awesome guy!

For the villains, piece, I will cast my vote for: Rise of Cobra Zartan and Dark of the Moon Soundwave.

OK question here cause I was reading this from the beginning: Wasn't Sentinel Prime supposed to be there instead of Grimlock? Just curious. I hate Sentinel and love Grim so I'm not complaining either

Yes, originally I explained it in the video, but it went on way to long, so I cut it out.

I forgot who pointed it out, but it was a great point - Sentinel Prime turns out to be a bad guy later on - so it didn't make sense for him to be on the Heroes side.

though now thinking about it with that logic, makes no sense for Storm Shadow to be on the villains side too... ah well...

But as for Grimlock, I put him in because Scorn was voted in, didn't make sense for Scorn to be there by himself - Grimlock's got to go in

Hope that clears it up

Words cannot describe how awesome that drawing is. I'm completely convinced that we need a Transformers - G.I. Joe crossover film now! xD

(Also, thanks for the shoutout in the video, it was much appreciated!)

James Raiz is a really cool dude. How do I know? Well, he as at the Monteal Comiccon today and Seibertron.com (in the form of yours truly) met up with him for an update on his TFcon exclusive prints. The previously revealed Transformers/G1 Joe print will actually have an accompanying piece. He was actually working on that piece when we met up and below you will find some of the work in progress. This will be a villain based cover to counter the previous heroe filled one (which can be found below). At the time, he was working on Megatron and Brawl.

Exclusive Hero Print:

You can follow James Raiz on his youtube right here where you can see his work from sketch to finished piece.

The latest update from our friend James Raiz, artist for the Transformers comics at multiple points in their publication history, includes the full reveal of the second TFcon piece featuring G.I. Joe and Transformers comics from the live-action movies! You'll remember the Autobot and Joes piece (but check it out here if you don't) - now we have the Decepticon and Cobra counterpart print as selected by Seibertron.com users, also coloured by Kieran Oats, and both of which will be available this weekend at the Toronto convention!

That looks fantastic! I'm glad Brawl made it in there. Nice work!

Awesome! Bad Guys Forever!

I'm kinda sad Zartan didn't make it into the print; but all of the emotion that is visible on Firefly's face, even behind his balaclava, is sooooo coooool. Excellent work as always, Mr. Raiz! Thank you!

With artist James Raiz back from Toronto's TFcon, we have a better chance to look at the process leading up to the creation of the Villains piece of his Transformers/G.I. Joe combo prints (first one, Heroes, can be found here), with colours by Kieran Oats. Make sure to drop by Raiz's channel and page under Box Office Artist for more, too!
