Is... is that a lightning bolt behind him? Jesus, Dreamwave.

Alex Milne (born October 13, 19??) is a Canadian artist who has done pencils on numerous Transformers titles.

Milne's Transformers work started with an ill-fated run at the end of Dreamwave's tenure, during which he was ghosting for Superstar Patrick "Pat The Transman" Lee, and unfortunately, not being paid very much (or at all) for his work. Pat Lee owed him more than $4,330.00 as of February 2005 - and that was before he started ghosting for Pat.[1]

After Dreamwave folded, Milne was picked up by IDW, who presumably pay him a living wage. He penciled a number of live-action movie spin-off books and other miscellaneous titles. In 2012, he became the primary artist on IDW's More Than Meets the Eye series, drawing the bulk of its issues. Milne has designed many of the series' characters and settings, and by extension, much of its distinctive overall look.

Milne's linework is noted for its high levels of detail, from complex backgrounds to precisely delineated mechanical greeblies on the Transformers themselves. Stylistically, Milne has shown the ability to emulate other artists' work, such as his Pat Lee-styled lines on Megatron: Origin. His work on More Than Meets the Eye features his detailed character designs, complex action scenes and highly expressive characters.

[F]rankly he was the best comic penciler on our roster at the time.
