Am I just seeing things or does that have both Megs and Galvy in it ????

That was my original thought too but upon closer inspection, the litho seems to be based a lot on the Universe/Henkei/Classics toyline. Since there is a toy version of both Galvy and megatron existing in the Universe/Henkei/Classics toys, then i guess why not include it in the litho too....

Great drawing by the way... where can i get one?

Hmm... interesting how they've used a combination of Hasbro and Takara toys.

Well that's what happens when Hasbro happens to own all names and likenesses of Transformers! :p I don't think FansProject would be in a good position to try and sue Hasbro for using their own intellectual property. :cool:

I don't think that's the point. I think more so the fact that Hasbro is allowing a custom kit to be acknowledged in an artistic representation of their character.

Does Hasbro participate or acknowledge TFCon? Would Alex Milne need to secure rights to sell this? If so, Kyle, do you have any insight as to whether he approached FP as well?

Josh's colours make this a masterpiece. This is one lovely piece of art.

I actually have no idea. I'll ask the guys at FP about this. This is so awesome! :D

Universe Superion and Bruticus are abscent... maybe something to do with the fact that they are packaged as TF2 Movie toys in North America...? :/

Appears to be Leo prime - the repaint lion.
Ooooh I hope they sell this other than the convention, I really want one!

So who else did not make it?
Superion
Bruticus Maximus
Overload
Countdown
Darkwind

By the way, for those who don't know yet, the white inferno in the poster is Artfire according to the creator.

Thanks, I thought so. That is because I see him red and white in the universe packaging... :rolleyes:

Wasn't suggesting they do, was just mildly suprised about their products being in the litho. I also see the add-on kit on Lambor's sholder too at least.

I think Laserbeak was included because there was a Hasbro reissue of G1 Soundwave with Laserbeak and Ravage in Classic style of packaging. :p

I agree. Since the Music Label headphones are also there though along with [what I presume is Music Label] Soundblaster, which version of Soundwave is it? Commemorative Series or Music Label? :D

Actually, after some more thought, the inclusion of the Fans Project stuff makes perfect sense as Fans Project was a major sponsor/vendor/exclusive supplier.

That is Music Label Soundwave. The elbows and back give it away.

Legends Jazz.

Very nice, not as dynamic as Don's Classicverse litho a couple of years back but Milne's got more characters to play with.

Damn! I just realized I have to buy Legends Jazz because he's in the Litho. :D
