    He is awesome isn't he! I love my Geoff Senior hand-painted poster shown in my sig; so much so that I spent way too much time looking for all three pieces (my grail item).

    Um sorry to break it to you, but that looks like Andrew Wildman art not Geoff Senior.

    Interesting... their art style is nothing alike Nope, it's definitely Geoff Senior Paul. These posters came as a free gift with issues 320-322 of the UK comic; all drawn by Geoff Senior. You can read more about it here.

    Yes Geoff Senior drew #75 which was reprinted in those UK issues but I'm sure he didn't draw that poster. It's totally Andrew Wildman's curvey style. Look at Prowl, Kup, Optimus Prime. That's how they look in Andrew Wildman's issues.

    It's a great poster but I just don't see any Senior in it. It is not his style.

    Paulbot is right - it is Wildman's art. That's actually why I was really confused about 5FDP's grail, as I couldn't remember a Geoff Senior 3-part poster, but I used to have the Wildman one on my wall. (It's still a great poster.)

    P.S. If I recall correctly the third part of the poster also says Wildman '91 in the bottom right-hand corner (to the right of the snake-like wire, in the reddy-brown brick just in front of Prime's semi-obscured leg.)

    Thanks guys I'll check out the above when I get a chance. Makes sense though. I've always gone with what's quoted on TFArchive and never really thought about it. It might be time to revisit the comics I think.

    I do remember that at least twice they either misattributed or failed to credit the artist of free-gift posters in the comics themselves (like... I think it was Robin Smith's Galvatron and Magnus from #79-80). It's quite possible that it might even have said Geoff Senior did them at one point but they would have printed a retraction/correction later.
