20th Anniversary Lithograph
This lithograph was released in late 2004 by the then-still (almost) solvent Dreamwave Productions to commemorate the Transformers 20th anniversary.
It easily features more Transformers than any other poster on Earth, all hanging suspended in mid-air with no readily apparent sense of relative scale.
It was pencilled by Don Figueroa, who was realistically Dreamwave's premier artist of the time, and colored by Espen Grundetjern. (Pat Lee does not, and cannot, count.) Sadly, Don Figueroa wasn't paid for penciling the lithograph. [1]
Notes
[edit]- Weirdwolf is nowhere to be found.
- A number of cartoon continuity characters make an appearance, including Kremzeek, Nightbird, Alpha Trion, and the Female Autobots.
- Sunstorm features prominently due to his appearance in the DW comics of the time. Why on Earth Octane, of all 'bots, is so large, though, we may never know.
- Some characters with two versions (Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, Optimus Prime and his Powermastered Godbomber version, Ariel/Elita One, Megatron/Galvatron, Bumblebee/Goldbug, Pretenders and their shells, etc.) are featured twice. Others (Action Masters, Classic Pretenders' robot bodies) are not.
- Combiner components are drawn next to their respective combined forms.
- Some Nebulans appear in humanoid mode, such as Hi-Test, Throttle, Hi-Q, and Muzzle. Spike Witwicky is also there.
- Action Masters partners with animal or robot modes make an appearance, but not ones that only transform into weapons.
