Beast Wars was one of my absolute favorite shows growing up, and even after so many years I’m still impressed by how smart, action-packed and emotionally-endearing this series really was (and the toys, don’t forget the toys). Here’s my favorite character, Terrorsaur, a ranting, screaming cowardly bastard with aspirations of conquest but too ignorant and clumsy to ever succeed. Remind you of someone?

Possibly the first transvestite in video games, Birdo (who, according to the Super Mario Bros 2 instruction manual, prefers to be called “Birdetta”) was a bizarre boss with a profoundly disturbing facial orifice.

A wily, broken-necked schemer and one of Bela Lugosi’s greatest roles, the crooked Ygor was the major villain of my personal favorite Universal Frankenstein film, Son of Frankenstein.
Some time during the retro ‘monster boom’ of the sixties the character got confused with Fritz the hunchbacked lab assistant from Universal’s first Frankenstein movie, and forever after fans have been referring to the hunchback as ‘Igor’.

My buddy Ashley requested that I draw this furious, furryous (har har) villain. I agreed because of one simple fact: she’s naked!
