excellent work, everyone. i must say, it was a difficult decision.
i was curious about this one in particular because i wanted to
see how many of the mostly male artists could avoid going for the overt
t&a angle in at least some way.

while everyone really did do a bang-up job, i narrowed it down to
mister griffith, miss majors... and edward scott. it's a
shame edward scott's came in too late, because i think he again
came up with a very innovative and stylized design.

(and i'm sure it's already been stated somewhere above, but
that's josh and shaun in andrew griffith's, no?)

Wow, this is an amazing selection of work. My top 3 have to be:

Andrew Griffith - Awesome inking, superb composition and a brilliant idea for the story. If I had to pick a fault, I'd say Bluestreak's face and hands almost come off too detailed in relation to the line thickness on the human figures, but overall this is an amazing piece.

Christie Majors - Very dynamic and a nice use of the split image to help sell the story. Putting Faireborn on Bluestreak's hood, Death Proof style, is inspired, and your Beachcomber is a perfect fit with the IDW designs. The only complaint, as mentioned by others, is that I'm not sold on the location. Otherwise, absolutely brilliant.

Ryan Wilton - Great inking and a nice composition. You've got a really dynamic style and it sells the idea well.

Finally, honourable mentions to:

Peter Istyle - brilliant composition and the story hook is fascinating. My first thought is that the Autobots are the bad guys, having cloned / kidnapped humans and branded them, and Beachcomber is upset that Marissa has stumbled on their secret. Bluestreak, on the other hand, looks like he's ready to eliminate her... Nice.

Anthony Brian Cruz - I really like you re-designs, I just don't think they fit that well with the IDW continuity. Very nice though, and I'd love to see more.

Edward Scott - A very different and a very daring style. Personally, I love it, and can't wait to see it and the Perceptor cover in colour.

Very impressive entries all. Will have to mull this over a bit before casting a vote. This is difficult. But have to admit , I am very weak when it comes to T&A. The more gratuitous the better. I used to try to think I was above that but I stopped fighting that some time ago and accepted it.
