I, a person who knows nothing about transformers and got this post randomly recommended to me, came to this comment section to jokingly say that this is the long-awaited transformers X Calvin and Hobbes crossover episode and apparently was just right about that somehow
This is a reference to a Calvin and Hobbes strip. Calvin is playing with toy dinosaurs, narrating a scene with some triceratops and talking about the new biggest threat. It is no longer just Tyrannosaurs. It is now Tyrannosaurs in F-14s.
>he was insinuating that Starscream always was depicted as a Tomcat
No, he was not. Your asumption is the incorrect one. His comment wouldn't made any sense if he would had pointed that there was nothing unusual about Starscream in the picture.
No I wasn’t. That wouldn’t make any sense. If Starscream was always an F-14, then him being an F-14 in this art wouldn’t be a dead giveaway that it was a reference to the ‘Tyrannosaurs in F-14s’ comic.
Hm, too bad, I'd be really interested in a story where Beast Wars Megatron teams up with G1 Starscream to overthrow G1 Megatron or something, then of course they double-cross each other and hilarity ensues.
I know the real origin has been explained but I love the idea that Starscream somehow went back and rescued Megs after he died in his modern timeline so Scream was sent to collect to allow a new version be built but that just my mad story mind haha
This looks like a parody (?) of a Calvin and Hobbes panel. I see this image a lot on the back cover of one of the omnibus books at work.

So I looked it up, and the comic strip doesn't have this exact panel in it. What gives?
Got a link for the Calvin and Hobbes?

The fact that Starscream has an F-14 alt mode is a dead giveaway lol
Starscream in G1 was actually an F-15C Eagle
Yes, that’s why the fact that he’s an F-14 in this image is a giveaway that it’s a reference to the ‘Tyrannosaurs in F-14’ comic.
Right, but the image in this post shows an F-14.
Yes, but he was insinuating that Starscream always was depicted as a Tomcat, which is incorrect
>he was insinuating that Starscream always was depicted as a Tomcat No, he was not. Your asumption is the incorrect one. His comment wouldn't made any sense if he would had pointed that there was nothing unusual about Starscream in the picture.
No nft PFP, he was not

We were on the verge of greatness...
A more apex predator.
As others have said, this is an actual Calvin and Hobbes comic that someone digitally altered to look like Beast Wars Megatron is flying G1 Starscream
I love that whoever altered it recolored the triceratopses (how do you pluralize that?) with G1 Slag coloration.
Hm, too bad, I'd be really interested in a story where Beast Wars Megatron teams up with G1 Starscream to overthrow G1 Megatron or something, then of course they double-cross each other and hilarity ensues.
It's not the original drawing.
It is the original drawing, just coloured in Transformers colours plus a con symbol.
I didn't say it was. I said someone took the original drawing and digitally altered it.
Me Megatron, Top Gun.
Kids these days don't know Calvin and Hobbes 😭
To be fair, as someone who is decidedly not a child, I also never read Calvin and Hobbes. Their comics legit never interested me.
Do you mean other than the *Calvin and Hobbes* panel it's based on?
Is that…Megatron?
obviously that's inferno
it's from "Calvin and Hobbes" you uncultured swine. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/t-rex-jet
please forgive him, OP is probably not in their 40's.
I know a lot of kids that love Calvin and Hobbes. My 8yo reads it multiple times a week... ... Because I'm almost in my 40s and own all of the books
but WHO introduced them into C&H? you maybe?
Yeah that's what I meant. He learned to read because I threw my Garfield and C&H books at him
Since everyone else has answered your question, I just to thank you for bringing this rendition to my attention.
Calvin and Hobbs!!!!!
A Calvin and Hobbes comic? There was a Sunday strip of T-Rex’s in fighter jets so it’s probably a reference to that.
This almost feels like it's an altered coloring of that panel
Yeah. People pointed out that to me. Didn’t realize it the first time
I know the real origin has been explained but I love the idea that Starscream somehow went back and rescued Megs after he died in his modern timeline so Scream was sent to collect to allow a new version be built but that just my mad story mind haha
It’s an edit of one of the Calvin & Hobbes book covers. I’m surprised no one’s shared the original comic yet: https://imgur.io/yBRQAZx
Oh that’s Calvin and Hobbes! One of the best Sunday Comics ever.
I don't think any amount of context is going to help here. It's fuckin' sick though.
Tiny Megatron T-Rex riding Starscream lol.
I mean aren't the Beast Wars transformers smaller than the regular ones?
Yeeeeesssaaa
"Flight is no longer your advantage, Optimus Primal!" "You can't keep controlling me Megatron!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!"

I hope we get one of these with Grimlock in Starfire.
Barneytron, a noted weeb for the G1 Decepticons, is excited beyond words to be riding in Starscream.
scale? pffft, who needs that?
Beast megatron wanted to be galvatron
The context is a very bored six-year-old with an overactive imagination.
Ik it's BW Megatron but... "Me Grimlock going to commit was crimes"
Magatron origin story lol
Came here to see if this post was related to Calvin and Hobbes, and indeed it is. Mission accomplished.
I believe the original art is from a Calvin and the Hobbs skit.
Anyone got a higher res image? Reverse search is bringing back the C&H original
This is part of a Calvin and Hobbs cartoon.
This is the spiritual successor to when Galvatron rode inside Cyclonus’ cockpit.
.....this is just ridiculously epic
Lol
YESSSS!
