HERO MAKERS Vol. VI!
By Jen Contino |
Pat
Lee's
turning heads with his take on the Robots in Disguise.
Month after month, Transformers is consistently improving
and at the tops of the comics order charts. Dynamic
Forces is releasing a hardcover collection
of the series and we caught up with Pat Lee to find out
a little about his feelings on the Transformers.
DYNAMIC
FORCES: So, who are the Transformers?
PAT LEE:
The Transformers are, “More than Meets the
Eye.”
DF:
And with that thought in mind, what do you like best
about these characters and their abilities?
PL: The
fact that they can transform from one object to the
next, I find that fascinating! I also love how each
character has its own personality and that builds a
lot of interest into fans.

DF:
What made you really want to publish this series and work
on it?
PL: Because
I was a fan ever since I was really really young. I also used
to draw a lot of Transformers as a child.
DF:
Were there any major difficulties involved with obtaining
the license?
PL: I think
the largest difficulty in obtaining the license for Transformers
was convincing everyone that a company that had just left
Image was up to the task of doing a huge project.
DF:
And now that you’ve proved to everyone that you were
indeed up to the task, what can you describe as being some
of the most rewarding experiences since publishing this series?
How has fan reaction been?
PL: I would
say the most rewarding aspect with TF is probably the fact
that we’ve been given an opportunity to take a large
entity and help build on it. TF has great history, and to
please the fans was one of our greatest goals. We are happy
with the response that we are getting with TF G1.
DF:
What do you like the best about creating Transformers?
PL: The fact
that we are taking something from our childhood and doing
our spin on it.
DF:
You have a special Dynamic Forces hardback edition coming
out – what’s collected in there and what other
projects are you doing with Dynamic Forces?
PL: Well, I'd
like to talk about everything that we're doing with Dynamic
Forces, but it needs to remain shrouded in mystery for now....
Expect announcements shortly, though!
DF:
What other projects are you working on?
PL: I'm working
on my own personal project, but it doesn't launch until late
next year, it's probably going to be the best penciling work
I've ever done. It's a project I have been meaning to put
out in a long time.
DF:
OK, finally, we can’t leave you without finding out
one key piece of information... Which Transformer is your
favorite?
