Description
The lineart is a bit of a failure. It was one of those pictures where I concentrated too much on the little details too soon and not enough on the overall picture.My first idea was to have Optimus blocking Megatron's sword but I couldn't do that without:
1. Blocking his chest and part of his head.
2. Blocking a HUGE amount of the background. Although it doesn't look like it, I put a LOT of effort in it. :c
Okay, so since THAT was out I was stuck with this conundrum: how am I going to make it look like they're in the middle of a battlefield with Sari popping up behind a rock going "HI OPTIMUS! ;D" and Optimus going "ad;lfja;rjgekegyu?"
So I figured; okay, we need more rubble.... AND SMOKE.
I hope I got the point across. I REALLY DO.
His right arm and hand were MAJOR BITCHES. I still hate his arm.
I'm not going to touch this picture until I learn to make clear, clean lines, so if anybody has any suggestions/tips/hints please help me out. D;
My linearts are always sketchy and rough and for once I want this picture to end up looking really nice.

Would it be okay if I colored this? It looks too cool to leave alone!

Oh wow! This looks amazing! The posing and perspective looks wonderful. You did an awesome job. ]:3

You totally got the whole "in the middle of a battle" thing across. :3 The scene I instantly got in my head even featured Megsy!
Although, the feeling I got from Sari was more along the lines of, "Holy crap, awesome fight, but I'ma just hide behind this rock here until it's safe again, 'kay?" XD
Hmm... Clean lines? Well, what I find that works is just using a hard round brush, 3 pixels.
Yeah, kinda small, but if you're like me and use a lot of small, sketchy-ish lines, it works well.
Anyway, just line like normal, using that brush. 
Awesome work on the pic overall, btw. The BG looks awesome, as does Opti, although his left upper-arm looks too long...
Maybe foreshorten it a bit more, shifting the forearm closer to his chest, but keeping it at the same angle/pose.
^considers^ ...You could probably leave out his right forearm and just have it out of the scene - like he's supporting himself on it. Doesn't really look right where it is, for some reason...
Maybe make his right leg a bit bigger - just expand the lines you have outwards so that it looks closer. As is, Sari's too big compared to it.
Then perhaps lengthen his left thigh a tad, but that part's not really important, as the focus is definitely not there, and the viewer isn't likely to notice. (I certainly didn't, until I noticed the Advanced Critique Encouraged and started actually looking closely. XD )
...Whoo. Been a while since I left an A.C. XD

I LOVE THE TITLE OF THIS PIC.

The current descript does not make much sense, because if somebody scares you, you should face him/her or something... But, add Megs, Lugnut and Blitz's silhouettes on the sky and BAM: Decepticon Threat! It goes well with Sari hiding and OP's surprised/defensive stance.
Or, just add one, or have Screamer there. Neat work on the pic, btw. Looks pretty cool.

Well, I AM going to touch it.
Touch in very naughty places. And I will not stop until you eat you meat.
Cos if you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.
How can you have pudding if you don't eat you meat?
AWE SARI <3

She doesn't have it on her FF.net account for some odd reason and you'd have to look at it upside down and with a decoder to see the SARUOPTY.

Other than smoothing out some lines, I really like this pictuer.

Looks really nice, the background looks great (I can never bring myself to do those!). The concrete came out very well. Isn't Optimus's thump facing the wrong way? (like, it should be towards the body). I like his pose thou, and I like the interaction he have with Sari and how it comes across in this pic. (:
