This is my entry for Round 2 of the "Are you the next Transformers Cover Artist" contest being held over at the IDW Forums. You can find my entry here ----> [link] It is listed under my name, "Matthew C. Adams". You can also find an index for all four of Round 2's character devisions here. ----> [link]

Here is the cover assignment I was given:

"COVER ASSIGNMENT:

Set before the events of Infiltration, Hunter O’nion is following up on a lead he’s got on giant alien robots in San Francisco. Will he discover Powerglide and Seaspray’s secret? And if so, will he ever be the same again?

RULES:

- Hunter O’nion must be the focus of this cover, with Powerglide and Seaspray being “support” characters. You are free to choose which mode to display Powerglide and Seaspray in. The reader must also be able to identify the location, so use known landmarks of San Francisco. This story is set in the IDW-verse, so designs should suit this.

-Finished pictures are to be inked line-art and 'ready for color.'"

And if you haven't registered to the IDW forums, and you'd like to, please go here ---> [link] Please note that it is likely you will get a message that says something about "debug: email failure." Don't get frustrated. You should still get an email explaining that you have registered to the forums, but an administrator needs to activate your account before you can post/vote. After you get this message, just send an email to "dene@idwpublishing.com" explaining that you'd like you account activated. Be sure to include your username and use that magic word, "please." Dene has had to deal with a huge influx of member registrations because of this contest, so her work load has been huge. But she usually gets everyone's request taken care of in a timely fashion, because, well, she RAWKS!

Also, a big thanks to Josh van Reyk and Shaun Knowler for organizing this whole crazy contest. You guys are a godsend to us Transformers enthusiasts!

Oh, and one last thing. Feel free to use the "download" option to the left of the image if you'd like a huge 3402x5364 version of this cover. Thanks for checking it out.
