Here it is guys: the incredible prologue to this year’s book, drawn by legendary artist @markerguru.bsky.social. Please enjoy these 3 pages for free, and follow this account and our Kofi for more! We’ll be launching very soon!

The battle of Autobot city. Vector Prime watches from outside time as he notices a change in history - Megatron fights the iconic battle not against Optimus Prime, but Rodimus Prime!

Vector Prime observes further disturbances in the time stream, famous events from Transformers history all occurring differently to how they originally did. He identifies the cause of these disturbances

It’s Thunderclash. Vector vows to stop him. But what has he done? Why is our hero responsible for such distortions in reality? Find out in THUNDERCLASH PRESENTS: THE HUNT FOR HYPERDRIVE!

Last but by no means least is the man without whom TCGB would never have happened. Our gallant design and layout artist, interior artist, pin-up contributor, letterer and all-around good guy: @jimstafford.bsky.social You should reward him with commissions and work forever after!

04320

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

Not everyone can be a hero, but occasionally you sign up to be a pin-up artist and then have to provide some last-minute interior art for free for a bunch of people you’ve only just met. In moments like these i like to ask myself, what would @sidvenblu.com do?

03613

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

@leighlicorish.com is an incredibly accomplished artist, and whose storytelling has been instrumental in bringing GETS IT TOGETHER to life. We’re such big fans that we’ve asked them to draw all sorts of nonsense. All sorts? As in - yeah you get it.

04218

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

The world would be much more dull without the colours provided by one @darjeeliarts.bsky.social! She’s cool, she’s calm, she’s Canadian, and she’s helping with colours on GETS IT TOGETHER!

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

There wouldn’t be a Team Thunderclash without TFN, and there wouldn’t be a TFN without @adtcomics.bsky.social! He’s so busy but he’s still managed to contribute some absolutely electric pages to this year’s book, so go make sure you say thank you!

04516

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

Our next interior artist is @jarofloosescrews.bsky.social, who you’ll see across a number of TF Charity works this year. Please nobody tell them they can work for money or the entire industry will collapse.

06621

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Today’s interior artist is the incredible @machsabre.bsky.social! Dave is turning out some incredible pages but they’re so full of spoilers that I can’t show ANY of them. It’s only fair that we like and share this post far and wide to make up for it! But trust me: they’re worth the wait!

13819

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Today’s interior artist is @rbillustrations.bsky.social, who’s been with us since TCGB on pin-ups but provided some interior artwork for this year’s book! He also made that absolutely cracking trailer and helped design the Turbomaster badges you can pick up at TFN!

12716

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Today’s interior artist is @benpirrie.bsky.social, a thoroughly accomplished artist and creator who is giving us some fantastic interiors and an incredible pin-up. His commissions are open for TFN so show him some love (or money. Either’s good.)

14119

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

Today’s interior artist is the delightful @edpirrie.bsky.social, a veteran of many a cover, interior and convention from across the TF universe, as well as several other well-known properties. Every time he tries to get out we pull him right back in!

15013

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

Today’s interior artist is @palaciosworks.bsky.social, an artist I suspect is soon to move on to big things. Check out his original works on his profile and you’ll see why he’s being accepted into anthologies left and right. Catch him now before he gets too big to hang onto!

02811

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Today’s interior artist is @jamesotron.bsky.social, who did a pin-up for TCGB, wrote and drew for Tales, and has done some fantastic interior sequences and a pin-up for this book! If he’s not stopped soon he’ll be doing the whole job by himself!

06021

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

Today’s interior artist is @memphisr56.bsky.social, who has had their fingers all over this project, from Galeforce concept art to interiors to colouring. Truly a man for all seasons! Also: his favourite Turbomaster is Flash.

14618

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

Today’s interior artist is the incredible @cwingsyun.bsky.social, who has illustrated my absolute favourite sequence in this book. It’s four panels long and you’ll recognize it as soon as you see it. @jroberts332.bsky.social and @markerguru.bsky.social might want to keep an eye out too…

05117

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Our next interior artist is the delightful @natphoenix25.bsky.social, who has been with us since the very first Thunderclash comic! They’ve got the opening pages and phwoar crikey you’re in for a treat: they’ve really levelled up their skills - and buddy, they were impressive before!

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Time to announce our interior artists! First cab off the rank is @gavtrdq.bsky.social, whose initial drawing of Thunderclash going bananas inspired this whole project! Let’s have a big “Ohhhhhhh Gavin” for TRDQs second-most beloved host!

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

@davidcousens.bsky.social is known for many things: his Terminator covers, his work on Hello Darkness, that time he beat 20 bears in a fistfight on a dare, but perhaps none more so than his work with us on our covers. This year he’s doing a Pin-up for us instead! Check him out!

04820

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Today’s contributor announcement is another pin-up, this time by artist @carlosmagana.bsky.social Carlos deserves way more followers than he has, so let’s pump those numbers!

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

The pin-ups just keep coming. Giving us an incredible illustration is the marvellous Deacon Shaw, who has a name that would suit an X-Men Villain and art skills that we can only assume are superpowers.

Team Thunderclash @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Up for more incredible art? Well we’ve got Ryan Miller @tgping.bsky.social providing a pin-up for us this year too! If you’re not already following them, why not?
