While at the Rhode Island Comic Con yesterday I met an artist who did Transformers artwork for the Transformers comic book. I looked through his pieces and told him that Wheeljack was my favorite character ad asked if he had any Transformers pieces. The only thing he had was the Shattered Glass version of Wheeljack called Slicer but it was not for sale. I enjoyed talking with him so I figured I’d buy something so I picked up the poster of Megatron with Reflector. I’ll have to pick up frame and add this to my wall soon. The comic book is the completed artwork of the Wheeljack alternate version that the artist did, too. I did not catch his name, though. His daughter also did some artwork and he was selling her stuff. Eva picked up a piece from her as well.
I’m really excited that my Transformers X G.I.JOE collaboration set arrived today. This thing is amazing. This collaboration reimagines Bumblebee as part of the G.I.JOE team and he turns into an A.W.E. Striker which is an all terrain vehicle and he comes with the G.I.JOE character Lonzo “Stalker” Wilkinson. I love this new transformation of Bumblebee which uses some of his original colors and also his G! head design. He looks incredible and all of that yellow is hidden while in vehicle form. This is key because he is really in disguise and the A.W.E. Striker vehicle looks like the original G.I.JOE one and it is large enough to seat Stalker. I had ordered this months ago and was surprised when it arrived. I had not been expecting it. Glad it came, though.
