Lee Sullivan in talks with Metrodome

Written by admin on | DVD,Generation One,Metrodome,News |

Transformers comic artist Lee Sullivan is currently speaking to Metrodome about supplying artwork for their Season 2 DVD release. This could hopefully lead to a really great piece of artwork on the cover. We cross our fingers and pray for it in the forums.

Meanwhile it does look as though we’ll be getting two volumes for Season 2 as opposed to one big boxset as the financiers fainted at the cost. Still, it was worth a shot.

Who wants their artwork on the UK season 2 DVD?

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on | DVD,Generation One,Metrodome,News |

We’re putting together a CD of artwork for Metrodome for them to include on the season 2 DVD box set. If you’re a fan artist on this site then your work will be submitted anyway, but if you have any artwork that isn’t currently on this site then email

it to me here. We can’t guarantee that it will be used, but all of the artwork submitted for the season 1 DVD was used!
