I need YOUR help! I'm making a book of Transformers box art, and there are some pieces that I'd love to get my hands on. If you have any leads on original artwork, photo negatives, or transparencies of the following, please get in touch with me at transformerstheark at yahoo dot com!
US G1: Quickmix
US Astrotrain (Train Mode) - will accept a clean box scan US Trypticon - will accept a clean box scan US Piranacon - will accept a clean box scan
Action Masters: Bumblebee, Jackpot, Rollout, Skyfall,
Sprocket (both), Wheeljack (both), Optimus Prime (Bot only), Prowl (both) Banzai-Tron, Devastator, Krok, Shockwave, Treadshot Starscream (both), Axer (both)
US G2: Laser Optimus Prime, Dinobots (all), Eagle Eye, Windrazor, Laser Cycles (both), Cyber Jets (all), Auto-Rollers (both), Sideswipe, Bumblebee, Gobots (all). I'd also like the watch artwork. Unused G2 artwork, especially from the tail-end of the line, would also be very cool.
Japanese G1: Dino cassettes: Graphy, Noise, Dial, Saur Sparkdash: Hardspark, Hotspark, Wildspark Six-Knight
Rocket Base - will accept a clean box scan Battle Patrol (Micromasters) - will accept a clean box scan Super Car Patrol (Micromasters) - will accept a clean box scan
Europe: Virtually all, but especially at least one of the battle murals from the back.
Other: Diaclone and Microman artwork is also of interest. Oddities, like the Tyco sets, are also of interest. Omnibots, Bumper (that is to say, MC-04 Mini CAR Robo 02 Familia 1500XG), Kronoformers, Powerdashers would be nice too. I'd like to get my hands on the micromaster combiner back-of-the-box artwork that's in a kind of cartoony style. For this, too, I will accept a clean box scan
There are also some that I have decent quality pics of but I'd like to upgrade, mostly from 86:
Galvatron Throttlebots Terrorcons minus Hun-Grrrr Japanese Computron, Strafe, Lightspeed, Afterburner
I make a lot of pages here when I have free time.
Oh, and I write Transformers books. BUY THEM NOW!
- The AllSpark Almanac - a guide to Transformers Animated seasons 1 & 2 written from an entirely in-universe perspective.
- The AllSpark Almanac II - the follow-up volume, covering season 3 of animated as well as out-of-universe aspects like toys, cartoon creation, and what S4 might have been like.
- The Complete Ark - a buttload of character models from G1, spanning the entire US series and all Japanese G1 series, Headmasters through Operation Combination.
- The G.I. Joe Field Manual Volume One - the character models from the first sixty-five episodes of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.
I blog, over at Disciples of Boltax, where I share new character models along with Transformers and other science-fiction reviews. I also make a lot of Transformers fonts - you can see them in video games and ad campaigns and comic books.
So, that's me. Who are you?
