Issue 438 was something I have been wanting to draw for a while but never got the chance.

Here’s the quick thumbnail sketch…

Is that Optimus Primal? or just a robot gorilla?

Aw, dang. I really like my “Killer Kool-Aid” wallpaper. I was hoping there might be new cool ones in the future.

What do you mean not using them as wallpapers. What other use could they be doing. I would love to just see it in color. Sometimes things are lost in a pen and ink.

Reminds of a cut scene from the video game Duke Nukem where Duke rips off the monster’s head, drops his pants, and takes a dump on where the monster’s head used to be. What’s missing from Hawk’s drawing is a cigar and newspapers. :P

Hey Hawk! this is great! i mean.. who doesn’t want to rip the head of a robot Gorilla? hmm.. Gorilla.. that is an odd word after you say it long enough.. Go-RIEH-Lah! (wow.. wth is wrong with me…) o well.. it is a great drawing… *walks away muttering ‘Gorilla’ in many variations*

Just a regular robot gorilla? Aww. I was hoping that if it wasn’t Optimus Primal, it would turn out to be Mechani-Kong from the movie King Kong Escapes.

Hm… a battle between Eve and Optimus Primal… who would win? Surely this would be a battle of Epic proportions!

Comment by Tragedienne
2008-03-27 03:49:09

That’s not Optimus. But if there trully was an Eve VS Optimus Prime match, I bet Eve would win. All she’d have to do to win is to remove Optimus’ battries. :P

It’s got no head so it’s pretty clear how she won in the first plaice. But then again weres the fun in doing that.

Eve’s power is clearly over 9000! Other wise she could conjure up that massive energy sword. Ah Eve what would we do if you where not so awesome?

Heh, the title should be Eve vs. Cy-Gor.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Nice one Hawk thumbs up.:)

This is great! It’s like when Gally(Alita) in Gunnm(Battle Angle Alita) wins against a much bigger cyborg accept here with Eve it’s a much happier mood. I like that. :D

Comment by Bastiaan Olij

That was my first thought aswell, now here is an idea, Alita v.s. Eve ? :)

Eve look fairly harmless compared to Optimus but she has a force field generator and a plasma sword, considering Optimus’ typical method of handling other sentients this would be the most likely result if she really wanted him dead….but I think she would be more likely to team up with him….ok nerdgasm over. I think it would be cool to see her beat the crap out of other robots once in awhile, or do some superheroing, preferably not in continuity, as it wouldn’t fit in well IMO.

You never know… This could be a teaser for a big showdown.
EVE VS APE BOTS.
The possibiliteis are endless.

It’d be kinda cool to have Eve vs Deceptacons (perhaps a Deceptacon with a Windows icon).

Comment by Anonymous
2008-03-28 18:17:18

True, but Deceptacons are like three four times her size and have much better weaponry. The only reason the Deceptacons lose is cause them stupid autobots outnumber them like 4×1. Decep = Win

Woah, awesome! Too bad you won’t do a wallpaper, I would love to use it (as a wallpaper, of course). But I second the poster idea!

 
Comment by Chris
2008-03-27 14:31:58

Hmmm. Meanwhile, the perv in me wants to see a little Chibi-Hawk in the corner waving his arms and screaming, ‘Nonono, that’s *not* how you ‘give head’!’ ;-)

My first thought was the Aquabats song: “The Unbelievable Mechanical Ape”

At first glance, I thought the robot was Dog from HL2.

Oh man, that’d be awesome, too.

Good work, man. Nice clean lines. Tablet? I think your art has gotten better over the years. Keep it up!

Alas poor ape, for I beat thee well.

This is such a great image. The sketch looks cool, with the antenna and Eve sitting on the rubble. Then the ape head looking almost meek after being ripped from the leg impaired body.

AG Lite. ROTFL. I love it! *(^o^)* Nothing like the sound of polymetalic nanomech meta materials making contact with each other in a good way. -_^
