Speaking on Twitter recently, Jimenez revealed that any hopes of seeing this become a real book fell apart when it was decided that DC was going to relaunch all their books. A few tidbits he shared:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You missed out on Wonder Woman's invisible jet becoming a very cool Transformer.<\/li>\n<li>Giving credit where credit is due: the idea for Optimus Prime as a GL was none other than [IDW editor-in-chief] Chris Ryall's. Smart guy.<\/li>\n<li>I'm a sucker for those Seacons.<\/li>\n<li>The transforming invisible jet... which was \"female,\" I think. She would have been sooo cool.<\/li>\n<li>This would have been epically fun. No other reason to attempt such a thing, really, except for fun!<\/li>\n<li>[Answering \"who's in the second panel from the left?\"]: Martian Manhunter... and a Transformers-related surprise character.<\/li>\n<li>I just wanted to draw the Combiner assault on Earth-1. That's all. Actually, that's not all.<\/li>\n<li>Interesting, to see what people glean (& don't) from a couple of pieces of concept art. So glad so many saw the right\/cool things, tho. There was definitely more than meets the eye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>He also shared this second piece of art:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/jlatf2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/jlatf2-300x214.jpg\" title=\"click to embiggen\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" class=\"aligncenter\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"The long-lost BotCon 2011 script reading\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2015\/06\/the-long-lost-botcon-2011-script-reading\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">The long-lost BotCon 2011 script reading<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Transformers BotBots Ollie Bite &#038; Pixelfin reviews\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2020\/04\/transformers-botbots-ollie-bite-pixelfin-reviews\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Transformers BotBots Ollie Bite &#038; Pixelfin reviews<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"The gift everybody wants\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2019\/12\/the-gift-everybody-wants\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">The gift everybody wants<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"DKR Mutant Leader addendum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2016\/12\/dkr-mutant-leader-addendum\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">DKR Mutant Leader addendum<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Human Alliance Sgt.
