For this 2025 TFcon Toronto, my spouse and I signed up as vendors in the artist alley to promote our Transformers: Prime YouTube story game, Transformers: Mercy! But as always, fun shenanigans happened and Alex Milne is the epicentre.

Transformers: Prime Starscream jumps off the throne of Darkmount at Predaking (in bot form) and slashes one of his eyes with his sharp claws. Arcs of blue blood fly! Starscream crashes into Predaking's chest, about to leap off.

Predaking in bot form lifts Starscream into the air by the neck. Starscream clings to his arm and looks pleadingly at Predaking

My art of #beastmachines Obsidian but redesigned as a #transformersprime character! He flips the script on the Autobots at his trial with Strika in #transformersmercy

A close-up of glaring Obsidian, a Decepticon with a long face and neck. He has green eyes, a black face, a mask over his mouth, and red and gold details.

Transformers: Mercy! A playable CYOA for #transformersprime !

You are Predaking, and Starscream is cornered before you on the throne of Darkmount. What happens to him is up to you now and all that follows his death or the sparing of his life.
#tfmercy #starscream #transformers

Starscream cowers on the throne of Darkmount, his wings askew in panic as Predaking's shadow falls over him.

Starscream in the same pose but his wings have fallen lower and his eyes constricted as Predaking's shadow grows over him.

RIPCLAW designed by me for Transformers:Mercy ( #tfmercy). She is the fourth Predacon. She was incubating in the tube in #transformersprime Predacons Rising. Now she is out, vibrant, and venomous!

There is a Misfire for height reference beside her, by Mynametia www.instagram.com/inishira/?hl...

Bot form Ripclaw with vibrant colours of green and red. She is a broad bot with spiky barbarian shoulders and a frog-mouthed fangy face.

Rough front design of Ripclaw in dragon form. She has long thin red wings like an albatross and a long tail with a pincer on the end of it.

Ripclaw in dragon form with her wings folded up. Misfire stands beside her for a height reference. He is only as tall as she is when crouching. Her head is as large as his chest.

The Scavengers appear in #transformersmercy #tfmercy (Transformers: Prime story game)! They star in the Space Adventure storyline as arrivals who become Decepticon ambassadors for peace!

Art by: (1) x.com/kaichdreis, (2&3) www.instagram.com/captain_nemesis_, (4) www.instagram.com/chaos_birdie/

Crankcase, Krok, Misfire, and Fulcrum raise their hands while exciting their spaceship as a guard of Autobots with shields and guns threaten them. This includes Bumblebee, Ultra Magnus, and Silverbolt. Predaking is behind in bot mode

A scene divided into four, each division showing a close-up of Misfire, Krok, Fulcrum, and Spinister. The others look stunned but Krok looks serious and angry.

The scavengers are gathered in a room in the Nemesis with Krok looking disapprovingly at Misfire. Misfire looks like he is whining.
