No doubt there will be many drinks consumed, many tears shed during the evil Quiz of Doom prepared by the Quizfuhrer- Nick Davidson.<br /><br />Sadly events conspired against us to prevent a new Scotcon comic but a convention freebie has been prepared as always. We've cobbled together a two disc dvd set featuring the best of Sunbow Transformers or as we've entitled it - THE LEAST WORST OF SUNBOW.<br /><br />Here is the art and hopefully I'll be updating my Twitter stream as the day goes on.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIaPvpGQeo4NaD15a_LBFry84YE9dWbh6YQW5_O8Pd6gxjFtoByHf_qFblj81cXAheNy7rhIUHXJvEwgm-FbsC2jBwqJe9Ld2FRo7Hv7XO9jxLaJsqts5UQGi9-36SFtMU_1QSgcqZYBE/s1600-h/DVD.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIaPvpGQeo4NaD15a_LBFry84YE9dWbh6YQW5_O8Pd6gxjFtoByHf_qFblj81cXAheNy7rhIUHXJvEwgm-FbsC2jBwqJe9Ld2FRo7Hv7XO9jxLaJsqts5UQGi9-36SFtMU_1QSgcqZYBE/s400/DVD.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275930733647430850" /></a><br /><br />Eagle eyed readers will know that the art is a homage to the cover for The Trans Formers (Issue 12 if you are american, or Issue 39 for the British) by Herb Trimpe.

You see - he hates Longtooth with an abiding passion. As such when he wanted to name a month on The Hub Forum after a Transformer (he wanted Shockwave) many tried to get it named Longtooth. To sway votes I said I would do a daily Longtooth drawing for the entire month. It ended in a tie but we decided Longtooth won anyway and I for my sins have honoured my part in the affair by doing a daily Longtooth.<br /><br />Ten more days left - how will it end? I have a vague idea right now so we'll just see.Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03658969563000512592noreply@blogger.com0
