Aaron Hong's Long Boring Train Ride Art.

Yeah, like it says. Singapore may be a dot on the globe but its train rides are still too long and boring for my liking. So long that I asked myself: "What if Landmine made it to the Jungle Planet with Overhaul? And what if Jetfire was added to the Cybertron Defence team?"

Not that bad ideas really.

But.. you didn't use MS Paint for this did you??

Hand drawn, then scanned in, then cleaned up with Paint.

Aaron, Aaron, Aaron... I keep telling all these people, but no-one seems to believe me... MS Paint is the work of the devil!

You sure you don't want to get hooked up with something better for future artistic endeavors?

What kind of colour-schemes do you immagine for these Jungle-beasts btw?
(I do believe that it has been stated that the Cybertron beasts from Jungle Planet really are partially Pseudo-organic.)

Landmammoth will be a bit hard to color in without confusing him with Big Convoy and Nemesis Primal. Maybe brown-green with gold for the shiny bits.

I've been thinking, all the US-exclusive molds in Cybertron are mostly assigned to Earth, what's up with that? The TransMetals from BW and BM are a treasure trove of molds that could be added to the Jungle Planet. Imagine Night Slash Cheetor with an altered sword-slashing mechanism, where you have to insert his cyber key and turn left and right for slashey action.

Time to backtrack a little to Energon, with some additional concept combiner art:

Defensor Maximus

Menasor Maximus

Back to Cybertron. What if the Speed Planet Key could grant upgraded forms to TFs?

Override's got trailer space for about 3 Regulars or Deluxes in there.

Brakedown and Clocker get similarly upgraded to Deluxe size.

Cybertron Backstop gets an Ultra-size upgrade

So does Undermine. Why? I dunno

Cybertron Scourge gets a boost of Aaron art-juice

Armorhide, apart from the trailer, is pretty much the same toy

Evac is really a remold of Jetfire here

Errm, everybody gets a boost in size, except poor Evac, he gets a downgrade. ^^

Good Energon ideas for upgrade there.

Jetfire's one size bigger than Evac. It's a step up.

Something non-TF for now - look, it does say Long Boring Train Ride Art, not TF Concept Art. And this one was shot with a digital camera ON THE TRAIN.

Got a big ol' mishmash of Alternator concepts in this one. It was a VERY long ride.

We've got:
Alternator Optimus facing off with G2 Tank Megatron, which I've sort of designated as Alternator Megatron since the vehicle modes are to scale.
Some storyboarding for the Prime Directive followup
My non-remolding design for an Alternator Laserbeak
Remolds of the Bluestreak Subaru, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker Vipers, and Skids' Toyota Scion, as Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp and Soundwave.
