I had an idea to incorporate the DJD into TFA. Except the twist is that nobody takes them seriously. Oh, they know how dangerous and destructive they are; it’s just hard to take a group of insane, fanatical weirdos obsessed with Megatron even remotely seriously. (Even Lugnut thinks that they’re too fanatical.) Basically, the DJD are a Galactic Embarrassment that give the Decpticons a bad name. (Megatron actually means his apologies when he has to apologize for their acgtions.)

I can absolutely see TFA Megs being embarrassed by the DJD.  I mean, they have a STATUE of him.  Tarn has a collection of his “first editions” on the walls of his room and undoubtedly a picture of him under the table, covered in kisses.

I do wonder whether Lugnut’s reaction would be embarrassment, too, though, or whether he’d start to feel a bit territorial, the way he does with Shockwave. 🙂  And for that matter – Shockwave Vs. Tarn, Loyalty Grudge Match!  Oooh, I’d love to be a fly on the wall. 😀

This is only slightly related, but the mental image in my head rn:

TFP Megs: man, I could reeaaaaally do with less backtalk from the rest of my troops

G1 Megs: Count your blessings, one of mine staged a coup from a football stadium

IDW Megs: you mean you actually HAVE others who are unquestioningly loyal??

TFA Megs, throwing Shockwave and Lugnut bodily at the rest: PLEASE. TAKE THEM. I HAVE TOO MANY

This is amazing and now I’m picturing the other Megatrons, a little gobsmacked, actually adopting Lugnut and Shockwave.

TFP Starscream does not know what to make of this dude who keeps yelling about the GLORIOUS GLORY of the GLORIOUS MEGATRON!  Picture a small, angry cat whose owner has just adopted a very big, super loyal and extremely loud dog.

And IDW Megs is just shoving TFA Shockwave in IDW Shockwave’s face like, Oh, you like him?  This is my NEW Shockwave, the one who DOESN’T plot against me for four million years by seeding time-travel ores on organic planets.  HE’S 100% loyal!  He’s like Soundwave without the pesky scruples!

And TFA Shockwave’s like, This is correct, I have no scruples.  Also I can do this with my arms.  Many are the reasons why Lord Megatron prizes my service.

Meanwhile, BW Megs is just standing there boasting, “I myself also have two loyal soldiers!”

Other Megatrons:  You mean two spare loyal soldiers, like he does, right?

BW Megs:  … no.  Two.

Other Megatrons:  Two TOTAL?  Out of how many?

BW Megs:  … I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

Here is my 30th Anniversary cover which was broken up between both issue 36 of MTMTE and (formally RID)

Originally when I created this image, it was for a totally different project that had something to do with the 30th anniversary, but wasn’t part of the homage covers that others had done.  This is why the original date of the penciled image is 2013.  I had planned to finish it on my own if it wasn’t going to get used and make a print out of it, but the time i needed wasn’t available, so it just sat in one of my portfolio’s. That was until I was asking if there were any 30th covers I could do and John Barber asked about using this image. This was perfect since I didn’t have to draw a new image up and I could finish this one I had already penciled. 
looking back on it I might have changed a few characters for different ones, but this was before Windblade had come out.

There are 30 characters on this image. 30 for 30. I thought that would be nice.   All of these characters are from the comics and are from comics IDW has printed.   I guess I could have added in some Unicron Trilogy characters, but alas it did not happen. 

The colours were done by the very talented Mr. Josh Perez who I enjoy working with and miss doing so on a more regular basis.  Maybe one day we will work on a whole book together again 🙂

Enjoy 🙂
