Derrick Wyatt has updated his blog with a new post regarding the IDW Transformers Animated comic character The Wraith.  

"I was lucky enough to have a tiny bit of spare time a while back where I got to design The Wraith for the IDW comic Transformers Animated The Arrival, written by TFA's own Marty Isenberg. I really jumped at the chance to draw him because Marty has had the idea for this character right from the get go of our show. It was also fun just to get to do an old school HB-esque super hero." writes Derrick who also posts a design sheet image in his article.

In related news Jim Sorenson has put up a new blog that is dedicated to Transformers design models that did not make it into the two volumes of The Ark that he Bill Forster did for IDW.   You can view his blog, Disciples of Boltax, at http://boltax.blogspot.com/.
