I am an artist, and after looking at some pics of Optimus Prime, I believe the upper part of his head is just not drawn or airbrushed properly and therefore looks more like a va jay jay. Here is a pic that shows how it should look. This pic would have been much better IMO. The version you have looks more like a cartoon. I prefer a more realistic version like below. But it was a cool idea.

i agree with you 100% I assume most of the blame for the painting being slightly off the best pic I was able to find after printing it off wasn't very clear so the artist did the best he could. sure wish I could have found this pic instead your right it is a much better pic.

I know that this is a different transformer, but you get the idea how it should look if done correctly. I'm sure that your artist did his/her best, but it just isn't accurate enough to give it that WOW factor. I'd fix it for a couple good cigars if you were local
