Pictured here is a layout sketch by Bob Budiansky along with its final counterpart by Frank Springer for Marvel's Transformers: Headmasters spinoff series.

Interesting to see that Kup was considered for the center spot. That could explain the absence of Hot Rod's spoiler.

Both from my collection.

I bet that would have looked awesome under a black light.

Here is a note that was just sent out by BBTS regarding tariffs and how they will be operating with them going forward.

The people asking where Skids and Tracks are... they don't know the history or significance here.

Well, he did. Windcharger did appear in other TF#1 pages in his toy form, but was left out of this page. Maybe he was not in the original box of toys sent to Frank Springer. In any case, this scene was redone and the animation model Windcharger was inserted into the final two page spread.

I stumbled across Hot Wheels Ultra Magnus this morning.
I still have never seen Optimus Prime.

I still remember "Which one of these is a Pokemon?" as the half-million dollar question on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"

Alas, I sold mine off a while ago. Oddly enough, I still have its original brown shipping box. And here's a pic I took back at the last OTFCC of what was supposed to be Sentinel's packaging -- a much closer match to MegaZarak.

This.
This is what the mainline of the Dynamite Transformers trading card series should have looked like. The best stuff was used for expensive gimmick sets.
And I fell for it.
Sigh.

POWER OF THE PRIMES EVOLUTION RODIMUS PRIME (2017)

I really liked the concept of the Evolution toys from POTP. Like the old G1 Powermaster Optimus Prime, you have a smaller figure that combines with its trailer to form the superbot. Hot Rod here can upgrade and become the torso of Rodimus Prime!

Check it out for yourself. This is the "before" artwork. I have seen the "after" double-page splash that is mostly zeroxed cutouts from this page.

I wish I knew more of the story. There definitely is one to be told.

Another point of interest of that Autobot introduction is that Windcharger was NOT part of it. The artist must have forgot him. He was added later in the edit, which explains why he is in his animation model for only that page.

Nice video! I have some original artwork created for Marvel's TF #1. It went through many edits after the art was finished. For example, the Autobot introduction was drawn as one page, but some poor employee had to literally, copy, cut and paste the Autobots over two pages along with the dialog.

Between this multi-pack and Sunstorm, the Heroes of Cybertron Seeker mold was working overtime at OTFCC 2003.

I am happy that I was able to add this specific Transformers trading card to my collection. Some of you know why. 😉

Who do I need to contact to get a Transformers x Marvel Legends Circuit Breaker figure?

I'm not sure how I feel about the "toy picture" cards. These are clearly 3D renderings (or heavily photoshopped) of the toys. Note that Starscream has the new hands that allow him to hold a Megatron pistol. It's a shame because there are many people in the fandom that take awesome toy pictures.
