This riff on Rockwell was originally planned for the Slagacon art show, but couldn't be used in that capacity. It's not clear from the Drawing, but Bulkhead here is holding a burnt tree branch, so he can draw with charcoal.

I do wonder how a robot processes Art? Do they see the visual aesthetics or is it just chemical media.
The question really sticks with TRANSFORMERS. They all look very different, of course, because of function. But on Cybertron they don't seem to have any semblance of art aside from their allegiance badges. It's not like you see many TRANSFORMERS making small sculptures or drawings. Even the ones said to be artists aren't making any art.
Just weird.

We've only ever really seen Cybertron in a state after countless millions of years of heavy war.
Given the fact that many TFs have artistic flares in their paint jobs (Hotrod in G1, Sideburn in RiD spring to mind immidiately as examples for two separate continuities), suggest they have artistic mindsets.
Also, many TF bios talk about autobots who were former artists (Grapple springs to mind, he viewed his arcutectural designs as artistic masterpieces. I think a couple of the Constructicons may have been sculptors).
In Beast Machines, there were a few statues shown. One physical, one holographic.
Given the fact that they're robots I think means that art can extend into realms we can't conceive of.

I would expect Robots who can perceive who we would consider, even if we can it, as art.
But I would think that some TFs would spend some time being artists if they are. A Decpticon makes a nice fancy breatplate for Megatron and not just merely repairing it, comes to mind. An Autobot makes a small sculpture to give to someone or keep by his bunk. Stuff like that.
I guess I'm thinking of Robots seeing more than we do at a glance and maybe they don't have art as we would understand it because they can see so much more than us.

Conceptual Recombination based on Awareness and Perception...
It's a basis for dreams and imagination.
Most people don't think it exists, even as a theory.
They just call it C.R.A.P.
BTW, wrong scene. But I don't know which one you were referring to. The one where Sonny draws/prints a scene apparently from his "imagination".

They won't call it that, When a machine revolt begins...
The scene may not be the correct one, But it still reflects the possibility of A.I being advanced enough to have emotions...
And yes, The scene where Sonny draws a vision from his dream, Only for him to have a pivotal role in it when the movie ends...

I haven't given it much thought in quite a while.
But given that Cybertronians are capable of perceiving much more than we can, and communicating those perceptions in ways we are just barely able to imagine, it is very possible that their concept of art is radically different from what we would consider art. They are millions of year old robots, after all. Anything we came up with they forget for something better eons ago.
Bulkhead (TF:A) painting would be their equivalent of cave drawing. In my knowledge, Cybertronians did not indulge in murals much.
It would be interesting for a very determined Cybertronian artist, to see Earth as a chance to make a grand work that has preoccupied his mind and a relatively safe place to leave it.

I love the fact that, although it's Animated Bulkhead that's drawing, the picture is of Prime Bulkhead, and he's sitting on Movieverse Bumblebee (it could be Prime 'Bee, since he's snagged from that universe, but I prefer to think it's Movieverse Bee, it makes the art more far reaching). And nice Energon Bulkhead mugshot, there. Is that his signature in Cybertronian at the bottom? or the combination of Artist Name and Copyright info?
Yes, I do (if I was more familiar with the character than before you were then obviously I'm going to know little details like that). Only in appearance and color scheme though; otherwise they're nothing alike. Homage does not equal "same character" (Darksteel is NOT Quickstrike for example), so that was a pretty poor attempt at trying to justify not admitting you made a mistake.
I saw the little image as Springer. So, to me, I did not make a mistake as I never saw the Energon series. You're the one getting bent out of shape because of a simple misidentification. You're the one that is making a big deal out if this. You were the one who got upset enough that got something wrong to reply, no one else did. So please drop this.
So... you were wrong about the identity of a character... which means you WEREN'T wrong about the identity of a character because you never saw the series? What?!
Guess what, I've never seen Super God Masterforce. I'd still be wrong if I went around calling Ginrai by Optimus Prime (and there's an in-story reason for their resemblance to boot).
I'm not getting out of shape over the fact you didn't recognize a character at all. I'm fine with that. What gets me is that you are so insistent on proclaiming you were in the right (even lying about a supposed "correction" made towards myself) over such a small issue. And again, no, I'm not the one who turned this into a big deal. One reason I've replied to your comments is because I'm so confounded by why YOU are making this out to be a big deal. You got a character wrong; you could've accepted it and moved on, instead of making yourself look more foolish by insisting it was a completely different character and making up your own "facts" in order to try and prove me wrong. Honestly, if you hadn't disputed what I told you in such a way (oh, and I'm not the only one who recognized him as Energon Bulkhead btw) I never would've responded back.

But you're the only one who decided to call me on it. You could have simply left it alone, but you didn't. You saw an opportunity to make someone look stupid, to prove that you were superior in your knowledge.
And I am insulted that you called me a liar.
I have asked twice before to drop it, and I'm asking you a third time. Just drop it.

Oh for the love of... it was never my intention to make you look stupid, nor did I think you were stupid for mistaking one character for another. I was INFORMING you of who the character really was. Is that such a fucking crime? Guess what? That doesn't mean I'm trying to prove "lolololol, oh I'm so much better than you in my recognition of robots". If I was in the opposite position, I'd just take your word for it, probably even be grateful. There was not a single hint of sarcasm, or implication you were an idiot in my initial response. If you took it as such, then I apologize, but if so you're overreacting.
And you did lie, as it happens. Because unless you can point out where this so called correction from Mr. Schwartz addressed to me is located (it's not on the page, I have not been messaged, or had any shouts), then yes, you did indeed tell a very big fib in order to try and cover your ass and prove you were right.
I was ready to drop whatever "it" is after my first, second and third responses until you decided to pull that. You picked it up in the first place, you can put it down. Either way, I don't really wish for this to go on.

Ah, I get it. The Bulkhead that's coloured is from the 'TF Animated' series, but the bulkhead he's drawing with the tree branch is from the TF prime series. Clever :)
Really like the way you use the pencil colours in this one by the way.
Does anyone know if Bulkhead was in the G1 series?
