Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[Verno]

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I have these two saved on my computer from eons ago. Couldn't find anything on my HD that has Primal though :/

This was all I could find when doing a google search for "unreleased dreamwave art".
Not what was being asked for though.

Cheers for the efforts, lads. That's about the extent of all I'd been able to find, too.

I know there's more. Rattrap driving down a corridor, then pulling plugs out of a wall. How can something that was once on the internet just vanish? It's the internet!

Anyone here seen both the old Singapore release of Cybertron and the new Shout Factory/Madman release? I'm just wondering if the transfer is at all improved and therefore worth buying?

I think they were released after I stopped archiving images (2004-2005), because sites like TFW2005 were starting to mirror images... but I'll see if my old archives have them (it's like finding a needle in a haystack though, through the thousands of image files I have on several USB sticks, so might take me a day or two).

I wonder if they released preview pages before they folded.

All I could find on my USB sticks was six sketch pages released in May 2005, which included those three BW ones at that Tformers link above, plus two that were from the Gen1 ongoing (one has Arcee on it, the other has an assembly line of Spike's exosuit), and one that looked like a wrap-around cover/poster of Energon characters in a big fight scene (a bit like the mega litho).

Cheers anyway, Griff.

I don't know whether the images were ever released officially, or just by Don in an unofficial capacity. Either way, they seem to be gone forever

Ha, did you watch this weeks Scorpion?

There is an encore episode on tonight. It kind of answers your question

it's rubbish but fun.

If you want something to survive on the internet, combine it with something pornographic or really embarrassing...

Does anyone have copies of the couple of pages of Line Art Don Figueroa did for the proposed Beast Wars Dreamwave mini-series?

From memory, they show Primal and the crew inside the Ark shuttle on their way back to Cybertron. I can't find them anywhere online.

Although I'm sure you have probably found these already, I found a few small thumbnails that link towards Don's (now deactivated) DeviantArt page. Are these closer to what you are looking for - content wise? Sorry for the pixelation, I enlarged them a little to help with identification.



Seems as though Don had a heap of stuff in his DA account, but it's all lost now that his account is deactivated :/
Its a little strange, because some of the unused G1 DeviantArt links are still fine, but all of the BW stuff have broken links.

[griffin]

Maybe ask on the two global fansites to see if anyone there saved the full-size copies of those images before the site was taken down.

They are precisely the ones I've been looking for! Cheers, Blaster!

The hunt will continue for larger versions, but this will fill the gap for the time being.
