Ark Addendum - Bullhorn Transform

I do so like a nice bit of synergy. This week, for The Ark Addendum, I thought I'd bring you Bullhorn's transformation, in honor of Iván terrific piece from yesterday.

As far as the character goes, Bullhorn has never really excited my imagination. Cancer has one of the better arcs in Masterforce, and Wilder as the leader of the Destron Headmaster Junior trio naturally gets a decent amount of screen time. Bullhorn, though, is more-or-less just a dumb thug. His American counterpart, Horri-Bull (love the name), never gets much love either. So, it's nice for me to see him get some real personality in Iván's art. I'm looking forward to seeing that Mosaic.

Iván's Gallery: Bullhorn


What an awesome way to start the week for me - a fantastically passionate rendition of Bullhorn, from Masterforce, by artist extraordinaire Iván. Here is what he has to say about the piece in his own words:

I always had a keen interest in human masterforce characters. I believe we could make a good story with them, maybe something like astonishing x-men, for example, a serious and adult story that would please the public and not just the transformers fans.
A good example would be Bullhorn, a silly character and very limited in the original series, but there are several points of view and I think it could have many possibilities, like the other characters in Masterforce.

I personally am a little tired of Optimus vs. Megatron, bla bla bla, always the same, their personalities are already known to all and can not contribute much more to the topic.
With Masterforce we have a new universe, and closer to our reality, with concepts never seen. Bullhorn has always been seen as a fierce enemy, maybe evil, but .... ? Why? He is human, why did he want the destruction of his own race?
I think that to penetrate his mind and reach the same conclusion that this character did is very interesting. I may do so at some future mosaic.
