Transformers Artwork #5

This will be a first for my artwork pages. The piece featured this time is not an original drawing or work by a comic book artist or free lance artist. This is actually a screen capture from the opening of the fourth season of the original Transformers series. This piece features one of the last Scramble City style combiners (and the last American G1 Autobot combiner), Computron.

I love this shot because it is just a really sweet looking rendition of the character. It almost looks like it could belong in a second animated Transformers movie. This frame was also seen in the commercial for Skorponok who was seen fighting with Computron. Computron is the combined form of the Technobots, and he is quite possibly the most intelligent Transformer ever created. He is constantly calculating odds, and Computron rarely makes any mistakes with those computations.

What made me think about doing an artwork piece on Computron was really thanks to the spotlights on the Terrorcons. The Technobots and Terrorcons were rivals and enemies in the toy line and animated series. Abominus is a machine of mindless destruction while Computron is an intelligent strategist.
