I agree, I am not diggin what I've seen so far. Dons art is crap now. did he have a stroke or something? The last work that I've enjoyed of his was the beast wars series. After this series fails in about 3 issues or so, hopefully IDW wises up and tells him to fix his style.

LOL

 

Just when I feel like I'm being harsh!

 

Cheers, M_H.

 

Speak truth to crap.

I really didn't like the art style they were doing for this but i thought i would give it a shot, however, you know a series isn't going your way when they kill off your favorite character in the first issue.

The art quality's fine, it's the character designs that are awful. That Bumblebee thumbnail is the stuff of nightmares. I'm glad I didn't see those soulless eyes before I went to bed . . . brrrrr. Bumblebee is supposed to be friendly-looking - this is a monstrous parody of that. This does look rather like Movie aesthetic applied to G1 characters, and it doesn't work IMO. I just hope the speculation is wrong and this isn't what the next toyline looks like. Or if it is, the designs look better in three dimensions, which has happened before.

I need to agree this new art style is bad. They remind me of Gundam Bodies with parts of cars added to them. The faces are terrible.

[OldDiesel]

Call me crazy, but I don't mind the art. Looks good enough to me.

[Ender]

They're trying to give them mechanized mouths... but it just looks like some one ripped all the skin of a human face from the nose down and then cut off the eyelids.
