Artist's Comments

An oldish piece this. Impactor was one of my favourite 'comic only' characters back in the day (I'm a sucker for a heroic death and this guy managed to pull it off twice:)). He never appeared in his altmode so I designed one for him.

^_^

I have absolutely no clue who he is.


But, very nice drawing.


How did he manage to pull off a heroic death twice? Was the first one a fake?

Sometimes I wonder if my karma wants me to suffer in amusing ways, just so I'm not allowed to complain to people without them laughing at me.

Zombies! Run!

Thanks guys :)

As for his two deaths...

Impactor first died taking a shot intended for his leader, Emirate Xaaron, at the end of the story & #8220;Target: 2006”. A couple of years later a rogue Autobot scientist called Flame attempted to reactivate the nuclear reactors originally built by Megatron to turn Cybertron into a mobile war world. To protect himself, the scientist had raised a legion of transformer corpses controlled by his computer. As a shock twist in the tale, Impactor was one of the zombies. His memories are eventually restored during a fight with Springer, the Autobot he named as his successor. Towards the end of this story the reactor goes into a meltdown which will destroy Cybertron and can only be deactivated by someone actually entering the reaction chamber. Xaaron volunteers for the task and the other Autobots leave. Just as Xaaron prepares to enter he is attacked by Flame but is saved when Impactor appears and harpoons the scientist through the head. Impactor tells Xaaron to leave and enters the reactor himself - successfully shutting it down but being destroyed in the process. The story ends with Xaaron encouraging everyone to “give thanks to the Autobot who died twice so that Cybertron could live.”

Should probably comment on him, seeing as it was you who made him my favourite comic-born character.

I wish he was still in the comics. -_-

He is - his scattered radioactive atoms drift by in the breeze on Cybertron all the time! ;)

Always loved Impactor. I still remember being shocked all to hell when he appeared as a zombie that first time.
