BOTS OF HONOR - Coming in 2011.

Post by Bots of Honor » Tue Aug 24, 2010 7:43 am

A few months back, a call was sent out for artists and colourists interested in working on an all new Transformers project created by the managers of "Transformers: Mosaic." We had a fantastic response and have been able to recruit some incredible talent from the fan base. Everyone has been working very hard on this project with some very impressive results and we are now at a point where we can share a little bit more about the project.

So, without further ado...

Even in the most peaceful of times, when the people are happy and safe, there are those that would bring misery and suffering unto others. Those that would seek selfish gain. Those that would plunge the world into darkness. But, there is always a light to ward off the dark. A beacon of hope for the helpless. A symbol of justice that watches over all. There is always......a Prime.

Patrolling the streets of the capital city of Iacon, the newest link in the Prime Legacy, Optimus Prime, keeps an ever-vigilant optic over the citizens of Cybertron. Armed with the power of the Matrix of Light, Optimus Prime has the ability to create any object out of pure energy, and uses the accumulated wisdom and skills of the Primes before him to battle the forces of evil, wherever and whenever they prey upon the weak.

No one bot stands alone, and there are many other protectors of Cybertron who have dedicated their sparks to upholding justice. As Optimus Prime hunts down wrong-doers, he is joined by these heroes, each with their own unique abilities and talents. Together, these "Bots of Honor," strive to maintain the peace that has blessed Cybertron for many meta-cycles.

But, all good things must come to an end. Although the various villains that Optimus and his friends battle, dangerous as they all are, may seem random and un-connected, there is a dark force rising that could threaten the whole of Cybertron. Will Optimus Prime uncover the truth about this hidden threat before it's too late? What will the consequences be, not only for our heroes, but for every Cybertronian on the planet if they fail?

In 2011, get ready for action and adventure like you've never seen as everyone's favourite 'Robots in Disguise" do battle on a whole new level!



There are still a few slots left for artists and colorists, so if you're interested in contributing to what is set to be a memorable project, get in touch with us at bots.of.honor@gmail.com.

Is this TF Animated related or are you just using that style?

You've done a very faithful job, really captured the look very well - tbh it's not really TFs for moi though.

What are your major influences story / writing wise?

All the best anyhow.

Not TFA, but we've definitely drawn influence from that artistic style.

I guess the best way to describe this is Transformers meets the Batman Brave and the Bold TV show. This definitely meant to be FUN more than edgy and thought provoking.

I really like the design for Galvatron.

Good luck with this. Look forward to reading!

I wish you the best of luck. I agree with snarl. It looks snazzy, just not my cup of tea.

Old Man Grim looks tops. With a mix of Batman Beyond Bruce Wayne and Yorkshirefire, that'd really work on the grumpy gitbot.

Plus, yeah, the design similarities/differences between Megs and Galvy are nummy too.

Galvy is really cool! I'm not really a fan of this art style but I love that piece of work.

Good stuff and good luck!
