Nothing shocking or spoiler-ish, but the artwork looks very Gen1-ish... like a blend of Wildman & Senior. It would fit in well with the original comic series.

Guido posted it on his facebook page, and was mirrored here (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/guido-guidi-reveals-variant-cover-for-transformers-regeneration-one-81/24823/).

Hot rod is very... purple. I like that they are sticking with the original colour palettes, but wow he is bright!

That's a great retro style cover. I love the Aitken & Garvey style shading on it too.

For a comparison, the Geoff Senior cover of #81 can be seen here (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/590822-regeneration-one-geoff-senior-cover.html).

Heh, yeah, Hot Rod wasn't quite that purple in the G1 comics... more like a maroon (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/1/1a/Arceehotrodspacepirates.jpg). That's more like a Decepticon Purple(TM) (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rodimus_%28SG%29)! :p Ah well, I can see that it is meant to be a retro-style cover, and it works well. :)

He was purple (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Arageinheaven-electro.jpg) in the Gen2 comic (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:HotrodG2Marvelcomic.jpg), just not as bright as that. I think who ever coloured #81 was told purple... but was meant be dark purple.

For me though, he should be a red or maroon... not dark OR light purple. Have we ever had a Hot Rod toy that was purple and yellow?

And in case Sky Shadow is watching - maybe it's just a varient... :p

Seriously, how can one not like TF art? - Especially when you've got the likes of this bloke scribing it?, why can't June/July come quicker already? :D
