The Colouring-In Thread

[Hursticon]

Hey guys,

Having recently bought 2 original G1 colouring in books, I thought that I'd scan them up and post them here for the enjoyment/use of those with kids, maybe even those who are Primary School Teachers or just anyone wishing to be a little artistic.

My thoughts were that others could contribute to this thread by adding any sort of colouring in or activity book from any era of Transformers or, hell, even Gobots for the enjoyment of others; lets amass a large collection eh?
Looking forward to seeing others contributions, along with any thoughts or comments of course.

Great idea, but maybe I can save you some time on the scanner. There's a heap of scans online here http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~s...ooks/#coloring including the Forest Rescue Mission.

I've actually been looking at my G1 colouring books lately and filling in gaps on the Wiki. I wrote all the content for Bumblebee's Dangerous Mission because there weren't scans online for others to do it, and there's at least two more stub wiki pages for colouring books I was planning to update this week.

Cheers for the info Paulbot , I feel a little... I don't know now - I'll probably do the scans anyway as I have a Primary School Teacher next door and I was going to make her a copy of each.
I didn't know this had already been done elsewhere, your work on the wiki dude is great too.

It couldn't hurt to have a local version here too could it?
(For redundancy purposes at least? )

Nope wouldn't hurt, and as I said the Bumblebee Dangerous Mission doesn't appear to be online anywhere yet... and people need to see blocky head Bumblebee being too short to reach the top barrels.

I could scan mine, but I don't think there's a single page in any of my books that 6-8 year old Paulbot didn't do a bit of colouring on.

I did some 'colouring in' today - it was of a page from the 1986 Transformers 'Coloring Book' A Message From Space. The artist was Frank Springer, who also drew #1-4 of the US Marvel Comic (and the Headmasters limited series amongst other things) so I coloured using the legendary palette of Nel Yomtov:



Because Huffer is awesome. And so are Transformers with glossal sensors. And I love the way that Springer pre-dates Pat Lee for impossible Transformers anatomy - unless Huffer has done some serious damage to Starscream's hips.

If anyone else feels like putting up any of your own old or new Transformers colouring pages, feel free to add to the thread!

What tool did you use to colour in with? I assume it's using software (otherwise you have excellent skills with crayons and coloured pencils!)

Here's one my daughter coloured in (posted in this thread originally)



I'm going to show her your efforts SS so she has something to aspire to

Both are awesome in their own rights!
