This page has been posing an immense amount of problems for me in terms of composition. Actually, that's a lie. I know what the 3 little bottom panels are going to look like, but it's the big frame up top that's giving me an artistic hernia.



I worked through pages and pages of thumbnails like this, even scoured through some Transformers comics for inspiration on composition, and unfortunately, I think the one I settled on is still really static. I want to maintain this underlying sense of (almost boring) routine throughout the whole battle sequence, so I didn't want it TOO dynamic and action-packed.

Still frustrated with how to execute this, I went though and traced a few panels from All Hail Megatron to see if I could toy with them a bit. Well, I found one I liked and transferred the basic structure of the image onto my own. But man, Coron's gun is ridiculously difficult to draw well, just due to how it's held. So after getting the body down, I went back over with tracing paper and tried to find a good position for his arms and the damn gun, eventually settling on him holding it with one hand and not quite prepared to use it yet.



I hope I like how it comes out.



**Edit: I lied. I'm probably going to rework it again. Ugh.
