Before the movies. Before the cartoon. Before the world knew what a Transformer was — I was in my studio in 1981 with an airbrush, painting Bumblebee. I'm Mark Watts. I created the original G1 Transformer box art for about 45 characters — Bumblebee, Jetfire, Shockwave, Cliffjumper, Brawn, Gears, and more. The art on the boxes you begged your parents for. Now you can own a hand-signed print — signed by me, the original artist.

Before the movies. Before the cartoon. Before the world even knew what a Transformer was — I was alone in my studio with an airbrush. It was 1981. I was 27 years old, painting Bumblebee, Jetfire, Shockwave, Cliffjumper, Brawn, Gears... nearly 50 characters in total. This was the box art for the original G1 Transformers. The art you stared at on Christmas morning. Before you even touched the toy. Before you ripped it open. That image — that was me. I'm Mark Watts. The original G1 Transformers artist. I helped define the look of a franchise that changed pop culture forever — one airbrush stroke at a time. I'm 71 now. And I'm still here. Still creating. Still holding that same airbrush. Now you can own a piece of it. Hand-signed. Direct from my hands to your wall. For your home. Your office. Or that kid inside you who never forgot what Christmas morning felt like. 🔗 markwattsart.com 👇 Comment "Transformer" and I'll show you more of the art that started it all.
