COMICS: Artwork For The JUSTICE LEAGUE/TRANSFORMERS Crossover That Nearly Was

COMICS: Artwork For The JUSTICE LEAGUE/TRANSFORMERS Crossover That Nearly Was

Optimus Prime as a Green Lantern? Almost. Just before DC launched their "New 52", Chris Ryall of IDW and Phil Jimenez of DC Comics had pitched the idea for the crossover. It was sidelined, but you can check out some cool art past the jump..

Jimenez posted the pictures on his Facebook page, which means this is most likely now dead in the water. But I actually think it sounded like a decent idea, and the concept art is definitely interesting. What do you guys think?

That could've been really cool. Great artwork. I think Megatron would either be a yellow or red Lantern.

Sorry, I'm not all that knowledgeable on G1 - I can identify about ¾ of em, but who all is to the left of Sideswipe and Prowl?

How about getting a good Justice League story started without introducing another major crossover event into it?

@Vapes, yes DC stole that idea from the pioneers at Marvel. Just like Marvel stole the concept of a team-up from DC. Paybacks a bitch.

The simple, obvious one word answer to "who copies who":

"Superman."

Game over.

Next.

Did I just see a Transformer Batwing? Transformer Invisible Jetplane? Wow...that could've been fun.

Tainted87: Are you referring to Sunstreaker?

@Vapes- Isn't Thanos a rip-off of Darkseid? Both companies copy each other all the time. It's nothing new.

Tainted87: Oh, I thought you're talking about the robot to Sideswipe's left, rather than the panels...but, yeah; I can't recognize that face, and not too familiar with aquatic 'Bots, either.
