Your welcome.
Megatron: Origin was brilliant that's for sure.

This was such a great story...... it shows how very Communist the G1 stories were, what with the energy crisis and all. That, and "till all are one"..... It's interesting that Megs was part of the proletariat of Cybertron and arguably starts out as a "good guy" by overthrowing the Autobot bourgeoisie in a Cybertronian Communist Revolution, but goes too far with his zeal (hence why Optimus Prime has to take him down).
I like how you focused on a facet of Megatron that not many people know about, namely how his head "opens up" into a headdress when he removes his helmet..... not to mention that his helmet is removable in the first place.
G1 was chock full of good stories. Were you as disappointed as I was with the Michael Bay film?

T.T I WAAAAAAAAAAAAANT IT.
Seriously, the foremost goal of my life for the past... erm, month or so... has been to get my hands on this comic. When you say you can't stop thinking about Megatron as a result of that comic, I can totally relate. And I haven't even read the darn thing. I have heard/seen great things about it. The artwork alone blows me away, and the story is just so... yeah. Wow. Words are failing because, um, that pic up there? It fried my brain. @.@ I think I need to go stare at this and drool for a time.
(Er... is it cause for worry about my sanity if some strange combination of staring at this and wishing fervently that I owned the comic and pondering Megatron in general-- it is quite tragic, yes?-- results in tearing up? DX)

Fragging win. I haven't heard that song in years.
(AND THAT COMIC IS LIKE MY BIBLE. NO LIE.)
That's probably one of my favorite scenes in all of Megatron: Origin. My jaw like dropped to the floor when he took off his helmet ( I never knew it could come off) and it was such a moving moment. It was like he was really revealing himself to you (the reader) and now he was determined to fight for a cause, to win for himself. Yeah, that was one of the best pages in the whole book. x3
I really think you captured the mood here quite well, especially since Milne's style is so mindblowlingly detailed. x_xl

SAME HERE DDD: it's so awesome ~
and i was like "OMG! the helmet, he took off his helmet !!!", too.
the whole book is so amazing! in every pic you can almost see megatron's thoughts because it is so wonderfully done <3
:'DD

I knoooowwwww. I liked it even more than Infiltration, and I'm TOTALLY an E.J. Su fangirl. Buuutttt, the art was just so pretty, and I keep it right by my bed instead of on the shelf with my other TF comics because I always find myself looking back at it. It's just so pretty!

Sweet image and love the song too. I did a similar pic called Innocence lost...
That whole story gave me a little more sympathy for the devil called Megatron

Oh wow, that's awesome. That is really amazing linework.
I've been trying to get that comic for a while now; I MUST get it!

If you ever decide to clean this up with ink or scanning it or whatever, I'd take a closer look at the face. That comic series was awesome. I seem to remember that in the beginning, Megatron was angry, but his attacks were fits of rage and frustration, not really that he was psychotic yet. At the stage where he dons the helmet like the image above he's more like the megatron we all know. He is resolute, his anger permeates averything he does. In my opinion he does not sit there with his helmet with his mouth agape like he's asking for energon goodies.
The rest is a great start to what could be a very moody, powerful piece.

...okay... it's your opinion ~
but let me try to explain what my idea was... did you listen to the song i linked? --> [link]
when i listen to it some thoughts and feelings come into my mind ~ something like when you're standing in the sunshine and you have this feeling that time stands still ... anyway a very peaceful moment ~
so i thought i could transfer this feeling into a pic... after a inner conflict megatron killed that go-bot-guy at the arena and then he took off his helmet - for the audience he was a "hero" although he killed another bot - and i think this was a turning point in his life... yeah... my interpretation
perhaps the meaning will be clearer if i color it... more dramatic stuff... but i'm not going to change the face because it's the expression i want like here --> [link]
anyway, thanks for the comment

Now I see what you were after. I didn't listen to the song so I didn't have the frame of rreference. The other pic you sent really explains what you mean. Art is always open to interpretation though.

I read the comic and I fell for this megs
you did a good job drawing him in alex's style

Ever since G1 was new, it always looked like Megatron, more than anyone, could easily just pop his helmet off. I love the 'origins' stuff even though my own fan canon doesn't go that route.

Great job focusing on what quickly became my favorite image in that whole book. Wasn't it just out-and-out awesome?!? That is the most beautiful transformer head design ever, and it's on Megatron, hidden forever under that old mining helmet...!!! Such a cool and meaningful concept. I'm glad to find I'm not the only one in the world who loves it. Thanks again for drawing it. You did a really nice job. Love the sketchiness of the pencil.

Oops - I forget to add that I liked the song you linked, too... and I usually avoind anime music like the plague... Only been exposed to the silly stuff, I guess, till now.

in my opinion "megatron origin" is one of the coolest comics i've ever read! okay... i'm not a specialist in comics, but the story is perfect and every single picture is so awesome and beautiful!
even without the text they are so meaningful! i remember the scene when megatron stands there and looks into the leaking oil that comes from the one autobot he crushed... you can interpret so much into this one moment, that's amazing!
and yeah, the song

Yup yup yup! Megs Origin was the first comic book I ever bought, my gateway into the comic book world that I'd wanted to join for years... and I loved it just as you did. All hail Alex Milne!
Have you read Infiltration? It's superb: fun story, exceptional art...
π: 0 β©: 1
infiltration? no. some guys said that it isn't so good... but you think it is super? then i have to buy it

After reading, re-reading, carrying around everywhere with me, and in general absorbing Megs Origin, Infiltration and Escalation, War Within 1 and 2, and the first Spotlight volume, I have to say that I think Infiltration is the best comic I own. It took a while for me to think so, but quality will manifest. Meg-O is #2, and Infiltration and War Within are tied for a close #3. And now, for what it's worth, you have my opinion! Hope you like the books! If you can't afford them (War Within is out of print and insanely expensive), try to get them from your library on Interlibrary Loan. It is a happy thing, and usually free or just the cost of shipping. :

ahh okay i try to get my hands on them, thanks for the hint
and i own war within vol. 2... i got it from ebay for only 1 euro (0,75 dollar ?!?)
i was really suprised about that o_O but hey, the cheaper the better
... i felt a little bit sorry for the seller <: ) such a genious comic doesn't deserve it to be so cheap xD
