Artist's Comments

The original and best team of Wreckers are born again at the hands of the very talented Nick Roche. I borrowed this preview image from a corner of the internet, and decided to flex my colouring skills as they've been so out of practice.

Featured are the TF Universe's rag-tag band of cut throat Commandos: the Wreckers. From right to left, their names are Roadbuster, Topspin, Whirl, Twintwist, (Look down) Rack N Ruin, and finally their leader: Impactor.

Impactor. What a guy. Died twice to save Cybertron, and is the only person who makes a harpoon a decent weapon against someone armed with a gun. Despite my ranting and raving, they still haven't brought him back in the comics. Maybe once this is published they will, eh?

I'm a very indecisive person, and there are actually two other versions to this. One, with more saturated colours, here: [link]

And one with slightly more mist, here: [link]

In the end I decided for the slightly more realistic, 'Kup Spotlight' style (Or at least, the one drawn by Alex Milne). I think it was the right decision.

Coloured on Photoshop CS2, and took me a few hours on and off. I think I'm quite pleased with it. ^^

I think your colouring skills are better on this thatn they were on your last piece. Though perhaps it'd be better to practive on a piece with less black just to really get more colour in.
But yeah overall a grwat piece, Im impressed. :)

For shame! Impactor should be brought back, lest people still believe Springer's lies. :P

To me, there's no point in even having the same members of the Wreckers without him and Rack N Ruin. If they're going to make references to the old UK comics, why not do it properly?

well the team of wreckers in the transformers stormbringer storyline i believe was alot bigger than the orignal team and also Simon Furman was the one who wrote that story so the first team may have been busy elsewhere.

Just beautiful having all those non-cartoon characters together as a team. It would have been nice to see them in action!
