Artist's Comments

Part 3 is here (after countless hours...).

If you missed parts 1 [link] and 2 [link] , be sure to check 'em out! And then read the finale [link] !

Some notes:
- It was fun getting the colors right for the "pre-sunrise" panels, and then the sunrise panel. The drive takes pretty long I guess cuz when they arrive at Battle Station 5, it's high noon!

- It makes me really happy to squeeze Soundwave into this story. He was always one of my favorites!

- I know that Springer's rank isn't very high, yet he's at the table with the top leaders. I guess after all that happened in TFTM, he raised his rank? I wanted to draw Sky Lynx in the bg of the battle strategy room, but I thought it'd be too distracting, hehe.

- Does it look like Skids is breaking emergency glass as he stabs the key into the console in the 3rd to last panel? It's not supposed to look like that but I did it anyway, hehe.

Why Magnus change color? (err, why you colored him red in panel 2?)

Hehe, you startled poor Skids.

"What is this?" A Swiss Army Knife, silly! lol

I see Springer to be close to Hot Rod and Arcee so they got promoted together... No I didnt know about Magnus being City-commander I was thinking he was just along with Springer and Arcee and Hot Rod - I saw Season 3 before TFTM, that gave me the idea.

Hehe... I love Skids face in the second panel. :XD:

As for the story itself: so far it's been really REALLY intriguing. Can't wait to see the final outcome... :)

You do your sunrises really nicely when I look at them it gives me a warm calm feeling.

I also like the interesting Autobot HQ design the left and right ends look like Transformers helmets.

Overall I enjoy your art and story when reading great effort ryuzo. ^_^

Because poor Skids probably mistook Ultra Magnus for Optimus Prime. ;)

Oh snap. O.o I wasn't expecting Soundwave. XDD Skid's face in the second panel is the greatest. And I love that subtle Optimus coloration there. ;p

And yes, I did actually think he was breaking some emergency glass down there. ^^; I actually like to think that it was glass-covered, like it was supposed to be an extra security feature, or something.
