Transformers

Let me preface this jaunt into "creative intent" by saying that the editorial request was that the GIJCC and JoeCon comics be set in the same exact universe as the original Marvel run...

BUT it's more of a "Same universe...except where its different" mentality approach since, despite all the extremely hard effort to make the stories line up, sometimes they just couldn't. Especially with other modern comics also attempting to continue those original stoeies.

So sometimes due to character selection for toy offerings or other story options, the narrative had to wander slightly. Crazy Legs being alive, Snake-Eyes being alive, a different treatment for Red Shadows... Things try to mesh but just don't quite fit perfectly.

Joe comic continuity often handle such discrepancy by making some of the stories "Disavowed". IE, the events had been reported multiple ways but one has been more accepted by the military brass than the other. A fun way to handle it, honestly.

Of course, Transformers continuity handles things like that as "well that's a parallel universe inside a giant multiverse of stories." And that's where my jaunt actually begins since I just found out... well NO ONE knows this:

I set the G.I. Joe vs Cobra stories in the Classics/OMAM universe from the Transformers Club.

What??? REALLY????? Yeah, 99.9% of the JvC stuff has no mention whatsoever of anything Transformers. But in the last couple years - when it became clear how much it didn't fit neatly in the Hama-verse anymore - I started adding references to the TCC's alternate Marvel Universe.

There are 2 "most notable" ties. One of them is when the Joes visit a zoo...

You'll have to squint VERY HARD though. The background features a number of references to OMAM, including the Autobot Pretenders and a sign for "Garry the Gorilla" (the zoo's name for Pretender Optimus)

There isn’t a line of 13 Prime toys with artifact accessories to sell.

Its a difficult idea to pull off in an ongoing. Frustrating McGuffins only working sometimes or not being used when they would help kill a story.

Its far removed from a Geewun war, and some people just hate the entire concept as much as others love it.

The other is SG Soundwave's abandoned van-mode body (left an empty vessel on Classicsverse Earth following the eHobby mini-comic) appearing as the Renegade's van in the final JoeCon comic.

Of course, though, its sides were repainted to remove the Dreadnoks logo (and give another Soundwave nod ;) ).

Again though... This is all creator's intent. The editors can show up and say "ABSOLUTELY NOT". I just wanted to share since the subject came up in a private discussion recently. Enjoy the rando trivia!

Nigger, GI Joe has had a multiverse since day fucking one, when the cartoon launched and basically bore ZERO resemblance to the Hama universe.

In general, you have the cartoon canon, which is Sunbow-Movie-DIC

You then have the Marvel comic continuity

It divides multiple ways due to changing corporate edict.

Devil's Due canon followed the Marvel canon until Devil's Due lost the rights to it.

Then you have the IDW canon, which was a full-on reboot and then got retconned HARD when Ryall's Hasbroverse farce was greenlit. All of the IDW canon was moved ahead timeline-wise to taking place after All Hail Megatron to explain why they weren't around.

Then you have the Hama IDW book, which exists SOLELY due to the fact that the IDW Joe books were a commercial and critical flop and basically only existed because Hasbro was contractually forced to have at least one GI Joe book on the market lest they lose the MLP and TF license due to Hasbro forcing IDW to license everything or nothing.

The Hama IDW book, basically ignores the Devil's Due line which Hama was only partially involved in, and continues where the Marvel book ended.

Meanwhile IDW and Devil's Due had their own GI Joe/TF crossovers that are in their own separate universes.

Devil's Due GI JOe was rebranded Disavowed as a joke towards how it was discarded as canon when IDW got the rights/Hasbro ordered a reboot.

As for convention or non-explicitly stated to be in the Marvel Continuity comic included with toys stuff, in general it's always been understood that all of the convention comics/pack in comics are in their own little macro-verse.

Then you have shit like Action Force, which was it's own toy line until it had to be radically rewritten to feature GI Joe characters and saw the previous incarnation's villains turned into the main people from Cobra. Which then got abandoned wholesale by Hasbro, who demanded they stick strictly to the US canon except everyone's a foreigner.

Whatever you say, Thundercracker

Yep so far, thank you, I hope yours is good as well.

Shame that these two didn't get to interact post-war. Bee would've loved the current TC.

>Magmatron and etc defect to the Tri-Pred but only bc they know the Predacons will steamroll them if they don't
>Venom is scared shitless into doing it bc everyone hates the Insecticons
>eventually Venom manages to get the upper hand over the Predacons thanks to Airachnid
>meanwhile the Seacons and pretender remnants are under Seaspray and the scavengers around this point
okeydokes, so I want the animal dudes to be under the Predacons on one hand, but Tri-Predacus means three, so it'd be a bit weird having the Seacons under them too. And the dino/insect boys are a sort of Warsaw pact-esque buffer zone between the Predacons and the Autobot/Decepticon cities

What do I doooOooo, what's thematic/poetic

This is why I think Mosiacs are kino, we can have little moments between characters in whatever continuity, maybe even with the help of creators from the comics.

I mean, there’s Primemasters.
A few have figures. Just not great ones.

I just want a Solus who doesn’t die.

They create the most interesting one, the fucking Wheeljack/Tarantulas of the Primes, and she just is there so Megatronus can be evil.

Nice working on your canon.

I want her to live forever making weapons and doing new technology, like Alchemist runs his bar through all eternity.

Thanks, y-you too

>Ida was off training by herself when Airachnid was captured by the Autobots, causing her much distress. Hellflame Gul, Shining Gra B and Terrorcon Zori offered to help her with their Solar Ion Arrow combination, only for Airachnid herself to show up out of nowhere and chastise Ida for calling her "mom" instead of "big sister". Ida claimed to understand... and promptly continued calling her mom.

That's adorable and I'm glad she has a softer side.

Combining with the two Autobots into the Black Widow Claw, she happily announced that they had formed a Combo Weapon! C.L. had to point out to her that since she had the same Energon Crystal shape as him, the Claw was only a generic combination and not a Combo Weapon, causing her to realize she hadn't studied hard enough. B.2 remained infatuated with her, despite C.L. reminding him that she was, you know, a spider.

>During an Arms Micron popularity contest based on viewer votes, Ida came in first place! She was elated by these news, but Arc wasn't and suspected foul play from the host, O.P., when he let slip that he thought Ida was cute.

You know what two Transformers series I like for their themes?, Beast Machines & Car Robots (also known as Robots-in-Disguise 2001)

cause having two sides that can transform into he same kind of transformation is cool and all, but seeing two different kinds transformations not only make the two sides interesting, but the series as well

>Beast Machines dynamics (Good Animals VS Evil Vehicles) gives the series an Environmental Protection theme (like Captain Planet but with robots)[also if they did an official dub of Beast Wars II, I bet they'd rename the Predicons the Decpticons (probably edit the symbol on them too)]
>Car Robots dynamics (Good Vehicles VS Evil Animals) give the series a Kaiju monster/Rescue force Hero feel to it (like what Japan likes to see in Live Action tv shows)[also in Car Robots, the Predicons really should've scanned Dinosaur Fossils if they wanted more and powerful Predicons on their side or maybe have Opitmus Primal from Beast Machines show up in the Car Robots universe with amnesia where, after sacrificing himself in the Beast Machines made him travel to the Car Robots dimension, he teams up with the Predicons and recruits more Predicons thinking that their mission is to stop animal abuse (it can even be a good excuse to have that Primal figure released under the RiD series)]

I just feel that way

Attached: RIDB-7.jpg (301x437, 80K)

Would have been interesting to see the theme of TransTech.

Did it even have villains?

Hm... I'm not sure, I feel like it would be like War for/Fall of Cybertron, a just a big Vehicle VS Vehicle war on Cybertron just with Futuristic Cybertronian Vehicles instead of Real Earth Vehicles

From what we know, the reformatting of Cybertron would have blended organic and Cybertronian, to different degrees based on the character.

Some of the G1 cast would have been resurrected in high tech bodies, while the surviving Beast cast would have been a bit more towards being organic-skinned robots with vehicle alt modes. Initially it was believed there would be humans, but they were later revealed to be GI Joe sketches accidently included in leaked production concept art.

Confirmed resurrected G1 were the original Optimus and Megatron, Starscream, and Shockwave.

Visual designs were used in subsequent works including Armada toys, Animated cartoon, Bay movies, and the designer even took his idea for an OC as engineering for a transforming Incredible Hulk figure.

Funpub created a TransTech continuity as a multiversal hub where characters from all continuities mingle. Its unknown how much of it was inspired by parts of the canceled TransTech cartoon.

All other information is rare. Hasbro keeps it all quiet, and nobody has given an in-depth interview on it. Some people think they want to do a continuation to capitalize on nostalgia some day, but it gets less likely every year.

Any tips on making time travel/alt timeline stuff less predictable/more interesting? The only idea I've got is:
>future Galvatron comes back to the past at some point (why?)
>personality and things keep changing randomly
>this is because his decisions are changing his past, such that who he was made from keeps changing
>e.g. Megatron sr, jr, Great, Straxus, uhh maybe Barricade and Turmoil, bc I gave them arm cannons
>the religious dudes that fucked off have 6 equidistant cities, so they bring each person/body to each city and lure Galvatron to the center
>detaining them in equal proximity stabilizes the time shenanigans because Reasons
>this brings about the climax of the arc which is idk, maybe the Unicron virus or sth
I feel like I'm just aping Marvel's stuff... How do I do decent world-building aaaa

Thundercracker really got benefitted from IDW.

Take a deep breath, clear your mind and imagine what your Kreons would do if what you invented was real.

Probably perform a mercy-killing if they were nice

As I've said before, it was fun and comfy when it was just Rod/Galvatron, Protectobots, and a handful of series 2-4 boys at the dorm, but when it became about making and completing people, the hunt became more exciting than the result.

So can we just say that Cyberton Starscream is just G1 Starscream whose spark somehow traveled to Unicron Trilogy universe and possessed the husk of Energon Starscream? It actually would make much more sense then have the noble warrior Starscream suddenly turn into a backstabber.

#bringbackMcCarthyandSchmidt

I actually kind of like it, yeah it's a slow burn but I'm curious how this universe unfolds.

plus seeing Cyclonus appear early on and already being set up to be an interesting character being literally insane and talking to dead people.

It's alright, I guess. Extremely slow
Also stop drawing everyone so they look exactly like their toys

I'm enjoying it. It's a bit slow but it's also releasing bi-weekly and only 4 issues in.

It is starting up VERY slowly. On the one hand, I like the incredibly detailed portrayal of Megatron as idealist-yet-stern, slowly turning into a monster as he turns to more desperate means to defend his cause, but on the other hand... Is that level of focus a good enough reason to tell that exact story again?

Why is there ever only one or two kings in europe at a time when there were originally hundreds simultaneously in most countries? Why doesn't each country have a king with their countries designated artifact?

I'm all for stories taking place before the war, but this whole murder mystery/new spark kid is just so boring
Plus most of it is already known. One of the things people liked about MTMTE was the exploration aspect and the characters. The same with RID and its political element and its characters
With this reboot, they're spending so much time on world-building that in terms of character building there just isn't really much of it
Add on to the fact that it's bi-weekly, when it really feels like it's monthly, and it just feels so long and boring
Also the art is iffy

There was never 12 Primes until the past decade. Up until then, the Western TF mythology always held that the current Matrix Bearer was "Prime" and no one else. It was a title.

In Japan, the Maximals use the name Convoy and the basic design cues of Optimus Prime for every high ranking officer.

1999.

The Covenant is kind of the proto-Guiding Hand. Guardian demigods.

The 13 Primes are like lesser demigod kings, and the Primes are saint kings.

Why did he suddenly become war within optimus prime?

I guess to show context about the story, even thought Roller is supposed to have grown up.

>Why is there ever only one or two kings in europe at a time when there were originally hundreds simultaneously in most countries?
There has never been a time in European history where there were only one or two kings in Europe. At least not after the fall of Rome.

>Why is there ever only one or two kings in europe at a time when there were originally hundreds simultaneously in most countries? Why doesn't each country have a king with their countries designated artifact?

I don't think there ever was a time when Europe had hundreds of kings. There currently are five kings and two queens regnant.

Your comparison is completely insane. Cybertron has no monarchs; the entire planet was governed by the Senate, and by two war leaders during the war. The original Primes were demi-gods, not kings; they inspired rather than ruled.

That ain't War Within Optimus Prime. It's pre-war IDW Orion/Optimus. Among other things, you can tell by the unobstructed square "windows" and how the center of the chest comes to a point.

For comparison, here's what War Within Optimus Prime looked like.

MASSIVE.

Cyclonus is the best part so far.

But where? The comics industry is a mess right now.

I' m fairly certain that most continuities don't have 12 primes. Only Aligned and IDW do.

>when there were originally hundreds simultaneously in most countries
What are you smoking? The whole point of monarchy as the name suggests is that there's one ruler, or at least a figurehead. So at most each country had one monarch and one spouse at a time. And most countries don't have monarchy as the current system so the amount of monarchs decreased.

What would Cybertronian life and the war be like if they didn't have the ability to transform?

Watching the recording of the Dark of the Moon now, popping in before running for snacks and finishing it - but I've enjoyed a rewatch of the first two Bayverse movies, and 3 is so far so good... Have I just gone senile/insane? I remember at the back of my head someone mentioning like
>Megatron is so smart that he had three master plans, their individual successes which relied on the other plans failing, and none of them succeeding if all of them do
but if I turn my brain off this is fun. Might watch the BB movie with snacks and soda (or beer?) if mommy is still outside. I mean, if i'm enjoying DOTM them how great will Bee bee, wow-ee

I don't have that many bayverse pics, huh

It's impressive they found a way to make it all make sense.

Movie 3 was kino, albeit with what I know about the later movies I tried to give a generous interpretation to Optimus....

You know the drill, die a hero or live long to become the villain. There was a point when he should have stopped with the G1 IDW canon.

But the G1 IDW canon was good.

I don't think making Shockwave responsible for everything is what I'd call good.

you'll find that to be an unpopular opinion because people LOST THEIR SHIT when that reveal happened.

It gets better, so better you'd ignore the animation and focus just on the characters.

I wanna watch it, I'm willing to get used to the look of it if I listen to fans tell me what they liked about it

the future of these movies has never looked brighter

The characters, the plot gets interesting, it's really like this protracted conflict on a deserted planet. First season is a bit rough but it gains steam during the second and by the third the animation gets better compared to the start of the first season.

I hate it so far, from the art, to the writing to the pacing but I'm still trying to hang in there and give it a good chance. Just really not liking it yet.

Then watch it! After the first few eps where you get to know the characters, the creepy mythos will blow you away~
The cgi budget forced them to have a small cast of characters so each guy gets at least a bit of attention and treatment. Your new favourite character may be among them! Hesitate no longer!

Johnathan Cena appeared and Bee defeated not-Starscream in a p nifty way without urinating on anybody. Cautiously optimistic about the future movies. Not even sure how they would work though. Would the next movie be the Optimus movie? Megatron? Or even Rodimus??? Or would it be The Transformers or something

>I-is she okay

>Is this a reboot or not aaaaa
It's a reboot. It started as a prequel but changed during production to be a reboot. It is incompatible with the Bay films. Some Bayverse elements remained in, but think of them as franchise references rather than direct continuity connections. I mean, having all the G1-y stuff doesn't make it G1, does it?

Whew

I'm glad it's a reboot, I still have to watch uhhh, I think 4 and 5? But I've chuckled so many times so far, with 0 urination scenes. Was a bit surprised when the Touch came up.

Yeah the character arcs were done nicely so idk whether they'll bring back Charlie, but it would be pretty neat if they did! Maybe if there's a timeskip she could be part of Sector 7 or something, I don't know... If this is set in the 80s(?) then I'm not sure whether the next one would be set around the same time too. Cybertron? They're not gonna not have human characters though.

Considering the hack that is going to be writing it, I would say it would be a good thing.

Did these designs show up in the comics?

Yep they did, in the Optimus Prime comic to be exact.

Really hoping Rum-Maj returns in the future.

>Unicron trilogy
>Aligned continuity
>IDW
>Movies
>Cyberverse
That's a lot of continutites, user. Modern ones at that.

Movies had seven primes. Wonder how the reboot will handle them.

>Why is there ever only one or two primes at a time when there were originally 12 simultaneously in most continuities?
Because the whole "12 Primes" nonsense was a retcon.

It only began after Revenge of the Fallen introduced a "Dynasty of Primes" to their own bullshit contradictory continuity - before that, The Thirteen were just that, thirteen unnamed Cybertronians. Funny s'cuz I just channel-surfed past RoTF and reminded myself how bullshit that was. It also began the "you either are or aren't a Prime, you can't just BECOME one" bullshit.

Originally, Optimus Prime was just the leader. Then they wanted to introduce a new leader for a new wave of product, so they introduced a McGuffin of Leadership and treated "Prime" as a title.

Now, everybody who is a Prime was "magically" predestined and Optimus is the 12th reincarnation of the Buddha or whatever the fuck.

TL,DR: They just made it up as they went along.

The "Unicron Trilogy" only had two Primes, technically - Optimus and Vector Prime, and it was just assumed at the time that Vector Prime used to bear the Matrix of Leadership, so he's grandfathered in.

The Movies introduced the shitshow of a concept that is "multiple simultaneous Primes", yeah I know there are multiple CONVOYS in Galaxy Force, but that's because "Convoy" was always just treated as a rank/name thing there and nothing mystically significant, then in the U.S. Hasbro very decidedly DIDN'T call any of those characters "Primes".

Aligned is a bastardized abortion of a continuity that tries to blend G1,fanon and enough movie stuff to appease newcomers, and Hasbro forced IDW to retcon its own history to be more in line with it (the Matrix of Leadership even EXISTING at all in IDW was seen as a big retcon when All Hail Megatron began, that was disliked for making the universe "more like everything else")

Cyberverse is just Hasbro aping what they did with Aligned but the episodes are half as long.

That still leaves the 22 years of franchise that existed BEFORE Revenge of the Fallen, not that you care about that.

>That bit when Shatter slams Bumblebee's face into her knee repeatedly
MAMA

Threadly reminder that Chromia is the straightest of all the fembots despite looking the exact opposite of that.

Knight is truly the chosen one, the actual Last Knight.

>Now, everybody who is a Prime was "magically" predestined and Optimus is the 12th reincarnation of the Buddha or whatever the fuck.
If it were up to me to write a new continuity I would have primes mean different things and selected differently depending on the colony world.

>you are welcome
Go back to trash you ass patting faggots

I'm just making the idea of Prime someone who was elected to the Cybertronian council.

Wasn't that how Optimus got elected in War For Cybertron?

I'm sorry /tfg/ hurt you so bad you had to flee here to shitpost, that must be really rough on you.

I still feel so conflicted about OP. Can't think of another comic where I hated the writing but loved the art to this degree. Does she have a transformers art book I could buy, since I couldn't force myself to fork out any money for the comic?

She does, though she sells it at conventions. I don't know if there may be other way to get it online.

i didn't play the game...well not the console version at least,

Did you play the DS version?

Well, it doesn't get the cinematic but the dialog does mention that Optimus was elected as Prime by the council. I think it was pretty nice though. Not much replay value once you unlocked everything.

Have you thought of a big girl? Anyway, I propose Inferno or Artfire.

could always create a new tough guy character.

Not even a weeb. Drift is already a weeb. I just mean like, more Japanese? You know, more polite, a strong appreciation for etiquette, good work ethic, etc.

> ??? - Big Guy
Jetfire. Maybe he could be Brainstorms apprentice or intern or something?

Oh yes, that can work. Make her lady like and professional.

>Actually, most continuities DON'T have an original team of Primes.

Nor a lot of Cybertronian colony worlds. The 13 Primes and any continuity introducing more than one colony world, these are both things from the 2000s.

If it helps, here are quick descriptions of their characters:
>Optimus Prime is leader of the Autobots. Though fearless and inspirational, the war and the deaths of his fellow Autobots weigh heavily on him.
>Chromia: 2nd in command. Forged on Caminus, she was bodyguard and very close friend to Windblade, but an incident turn the Cityspeaker rogue and evil. Acts cool and in control (and a bit sarcastic), but acts irrational and desperate when it comes to Windblade (who she still has feelings for, and trying to save).
>Brainstorm is weapons specialist, super scientist, and part-time medic. Was once a very famous Autobot adventurer whose adventurers were serialized for the masses, but fell out of favor during the civil war. Now jaded and somewhat cynical.
>Bumblebee is the scout. Forged shortly before or after the war, he doesn't have as much baggage as his teammates. Eternally optimistic and always seeing the best in a bad situation, he helps being the glue to keep the others together.

Thanks for patting my butt, boo~

>okeydokes, so I want the animal dudes to be under the Predacons on one hand, but Tri-Predacus means three, so it'd be a bit weird having the Seacons under them too.

Seaspray leads the seacons?The Maximals had slightly more sealife on their side(though it seems like the Preds got arthropods) so it makes it interesting that the reason for that might be them more or less defecting. I have a pre-Optimus/Megatron "lost age" fanon idea that involves a lot of stuff like that; i.e. the "ancestors" of the constructicons would be Autobots that were eventually employed by a Decepticon controlled cybertron to build their new vision of Cybertron, beastformers would be borderline feral bots who are more comfortable in their alt-modes and are very clan based(think Gargoyles) that work with the autobots who try and preserve them, until a major loss devastates them and breaks the allegiance, with a lot of them being enslaved by the Decepticons, police vehicle bots would've belonged to a military police group that the Decepticons took over , and Barricade and Prowl would both come from this group, hence Prowl being unpopular with the other Autobots and his uptight attitude.

My other headcanon is that at one point, the dinobots, having been expelled from Maximal Cybertron for not going through the downsizing, ended up as mercenaries and at one point protecting ended up protecting a Predacon colony that was being exploited by corrupt Maximals and they made a last stand that ended up with all but Swoop and Grimlock killed. Thats why so many Predacons adopt dino alt-modes and why they'd name one of their own Dinobot.

Transtech was actually a continuation of beast Machines, though.

>Seaspray leads the Seacons?

>Predacon forest - Dino desert - Deathsaurus
>Southern forest/beach - mountains - Insecticons
>Seacon sea - mountains - main cities
Around the mountains there's the pretenders, while the Autobots/Decepticons are facing respective civil wars in their city states, around that time/a bit before, Seaspray's sent but essentially exiled to keep an eye out on Thunderwing and friends... or something.

>TW, Bludgeon
>Stranglehold leads Carnivac and Snarler
>Octopunch leads Skullgrin and Bomb-Burst
>Krok, targetmaster jets, Crankcase, Seaspray: grunts essentially
Non-pretenders are kinda treated meh, the jets just fled/left this other place as mercenaries/exiles so they dgaf
>Seaspray gets tasked with the marine division, as there's already ground and naval forces
>Beachcomber and some randos (Big/Lio/Primal and friends) have an outpost around the beaches, the Seacons are close by, Terrorcons too
>Seaspray essentially befriends the Scavengers/losers while taking down the pretender commanders one by one
>Bludgeon fucks off at some point, same with Thunderwing
>risky gamble allows SS to conquer and befriend the Seacons
SS is the Sima Yi to Beachcomber's Zhuge Liang essentially. The Dinobots and/or Wreckers may or may not be with Beachcomber, not sure yet.

>borderline feral bots
Haven't see Gargoyles but yeah, that was essentially my plan with the Predacons. Some charming assholes go to the forest to play safari and hunt preds and insecticons bc fuck em. The Tri-Pred domain's technically Decep colonies (gotta explain the insignias on my Kreons) but have a lot of autonomy/independence and are essentially their own entity

I've yet to figure out how to place the G1 vehicle combiner teams into the story... Definitely like the idea of Constructicons as contractors though. Maybe they're like the animated versions (from what little I've seen), where they just get paid and dgaf? Super dudes (like in pic, you give them little boots) like Maximus, Magnus, Sixshot, etc... are powerhouses until combiners come into play - which are essentially political/military nukes.. until everyone has one haha. So idk how construction workers would deal with having the power of a nuke... maybe
>let's develop and sell this tech but use it ourselves too for insurance
? I assumed Scorponok and/or Shockwave would be the one(s) to develop combiner tech tho..

Funny you should mention:
>Decep capital - Auto capital
>Decep city - Auto city
>-financial/mining/neutral (e.g. Phezzan) city in the middle
>shaped like a star
The Autobot capital's led by Sentinel Prime, but the other city is led by animated Sentinel (name?); the capital has police but the other city has soldiers, so there's a lot of tension going on.
>muh division of power you can't have both, let's separate police and military

Strongarm.

Until Cybertron it began.

Not that it'd be much help, but in my prequel idea combiners were originally cultists who sought to achieve a living Matrix/allspark by fusing as many of themselves into a hivemind. The early Decepticons would exploit this and use them by convincing them they'd give them the Matrix once they defeated the Autobots. They'd be more like ROTF Devastator; a total monstrocity with an unlimited number of members. eventually this would be culled into them focussing on 3-6 bot teams. The Prime in this story was a construction bot too and his power-up mode would've been a. proto-combiner team set of armor(chestplate, gauntlets, boots, helmet)

For my own way around the multiple Sentinel issue, I had the Sentinels be a lineage of "illegitimate" Primes tasked with carrying the Matrix but not actually chosen by it. Inspired by the WFC games renaming their Sentinel, Sentinel Zeta, I had Sentinel Nova(IDW Nova Prime) Sentinel Vulcan(DOTM Sentinel, in a cheeky reference to both Spock and his vulcan cannon looking head crest) , and Sentinel Zeta(a more traditional "good" or more or less alright, predecessor of Optimus Sentinel), along with a few others. Most would end up corrupt or leaving Cybertron because of the MAtrix rejecting them and making them go haywire.

and yeah, killing the Dinos is mainly because only Swoop and grim are accounted for in the Beast era, although Snarl might live too since BM Dinobot is rumored to be him. All of them would be in later bodies(action master Snarl, G2 Slag, Pretender Grimlock, and Classics Swoop, being the only one to actually downsize and adapt but convinced to join in). Sludge, being neglected toywise for years, would be his old hulking self(even bigger than the already pretty big other 3) and would have a great death scene.

What kind of series are you aiming for?

What do you mean?

Yeah, adventure, war, comedy, slice of life, cops?

hound most definitely, mold him to be like Colossus

X-Men Colossus?

yeah

How would that be?

>almost every universe

the 13 Primes thing has only existed since Prime introduced it; before that, the original 13 transformers were invariably portrayed as having possibly been a bunch of disparate individuals. The first one to show up in a cartoon, Vector Prime, was only a Prime in terms of title in the US version, even.

Them having something to do with the colonies is also new. Cybertron introduces them and they just had a theme/archetype, not a member of the 13.

Thundercracker is just one of many Seekers that are there to fill the Decepticon ranks in the G1 cartoon/toyline. He doesn’t get much characterization, but because fandom loves the Seekers, he got made out to be a major character despite doing anything. His toy bio had a line about him having doubts about the Decepticon cause, which made everyone decide he was a secret good guy somehow despite his bio also saying he hates everything that doesn’t fly.

He doesn’t get a major role until Cybertron/Galaxy Force in the 2000’s, where he’s sort of the ineffectual loser of the Decepticons. He decides to switch sides at the end but three of the other minions draft him into the “new Decepticon empire”, forcing him to keep being a bad guy.

Flash forward to IDW. He spends the first few years being a minor Decepticon, until All Hail Megatron. Because that book was written by a G1 cartoon diehard who thinks it was better and deeper than it was, it subscribes to the “Thundercracker is a morally conflicted good guy” thing and he switches sides. Eventually John Barber gives him the memorable interest in being interested in being a screen writer (with a lot of tongue in cheek jokes about its badness) and gives him a pet dog named Buster. He eventually gets paired up with EDC commander Marissa Fairborn and IDW closes off with him potentially winning an Oscar

Thundercracker’s currently biggest role is in Cyberverse, where he’s an antagonist Seeker again. He keeps falling off of things and forgetting he can fly, and is partnered with a female Seeker named Nova Storm

>Thundercracker’s currently biggest role is in Cyberverse, where he’s an antagonist Seeker again. He keeps falling off of things and forgetting he can fly,

seriously if they wanted a retarded seeker why not just make it Skywarp.

who's the artist

Kei Zama.

>seriously if they wanted a retarded seeker why not just make it Skywarp.
If they made a future characterization for Skywarp, I'd like if it it combined previous elements together, like G1's fighting dirty (and pushing things down stairs), and TFA's cowardice.

He'd be a gutless coward who can only fight dirty and never in a clean fight.

that also works.

>>Brainstorm is weapons specialist, super scientist, and part-time medic. Was once a very famous Autobot adventurer whose adventurers were serialized for the masses, but fell out of favor during the civil war.

i like this idea, making him a pulp hero ala Indiana Jones.

>Johnathan Cena
That is the first time I've ever seen someone call him that to a point where I thought you were talking about a completely different person

Thanx!

Mostly, though, I'm basing this Brainstorm over Rusty Venture of Venture Bros.

I'm thinking he'd be a bit of the comic relief... or should the big guy be more lighthearted?

Rusty Venture Brainstorm hmmm....

you know i've always likened Fort Max as a robot Brock Sampson. I always read IDW Fort Max as Patrick Warburton.

Skywarp always gets shafted. It sucks cause he's, according to his bio, probably one of the most lighthearted and happy-go-lucky Decepticons. Stupid and likes pranking people. In IDW he was also extremely loyal to Megatron and frustrated with TC who wasn't enjoying mass murder and Megatrons vision.

yeah Skywarp gets the shaft a lot.

Mike Costa gave Thundercracker his TV watching personality, in one of the few times "I don't know how I could write a robot" actually worked.

There's a major Thundervracker you missed: Bayverse comcis Thundercracker. He was a monsterous brawler and a ruthless leader in Starscream's absence. He also liked to fuck around with science and was the one that ordered Flatline to split Arcee into three people.

I hope the reboot returns Skywarp back to his lightheartedness.
Hell, I hope the Seekers actually interact. All three of them didn't interact in the old continuity until the final. Because the trio really play off each other well (If they're like their bio)

I know Skywarp and Thundercracker appeared on one of the IDW reboot covers, so i think he's due to appear at some point.

>"To the victor go the profits."
>A master of Crystalocution, the Cybertronic martial art of defeating an opponent by attacking his metal fracture points. Usually reduces an enemy to spare parts in minutes and then sells what's left, if given the chance. Always willing to fight, for a profit. His partner, Razor-Sharp, is a lethal titanium-piercing crab that can tear through just about any kind of metal obstacle! Converts to a semi-automatic rifle that shoots plasma energy projectiles that explode on contact.

>2003, Dreamwave MTMTE profile (pic)

>2006-2008, IDW appearances
>Banzaitron was the director of the Decepticon Secret Service, possessing a good deal of autonomy from Megatron in how his organization served the cause. Banzaitron acted as the handler for Dealer, an unscrupulous Autobot who turned mercenary, selling secrets and services to the Decepticons for profit. Banzaitron attempted to acquire a legendary oracle called "the Magnificence" with Dealer's help, but the operation failed.

>Dealer's cover ultimately remained intact, however, and he maintained contact with Banzaitron, selling him bits of information such as the existence of Transformer gestalt warriors discovered by the Autobots. With "Doubledealer's" information, Banzaitron tracked them to the penitentiary on Garrus-9 and staged a full scale assault on the Autobot base to acquire this revolutionary technology. After an opening mass bombardment, Banzaitron sent the Combaticons down in a dropship, and his soldiers successfully pulled the six Monstructor component robots out of Garrus-9 using an orbital pick-up.

The damaged Banzaitron was found by Arcee, with whom he formed an alliance. Arcee joined him and his group in tackling Monstructor... but Arcee was convinced by Skram to give up that fight and go hunt down her creator, leaving Banzaitron and company to fend for themselves.

>2009, BotCon comic appearance and toy
>Function: Mercenary
>"Victory is the most profitable business."
>To call Banzai-Tron pragmatic would be an understatement. His spark contains a deep-seated desire to acquire wealth. To that end, he has recently taken on the study of an ancient Cybertronian martial art form known as Crystalocution, which focuses on attaching an enemy's metal fracture points. So practical is this Decepticon warrior that he has decided to forgo the more mystical aspects of learning the art, and instead has focused only on its deadly methodology. When criticized about this, he curtly replies "There is no profit in spirituality." In gunboat mode, Banzai-Tron can travel at speeds up to 260 KTS. His primary weapons are four missile launchers. The two launchers on th front can double as energy blasters. He also carries four short-range rockets with adjustable power settings that can be set from stun to disintegrate. Sometimes he becomes too focused on profit and fails to see the larger scope of events around him.

>Banzai-Tron and his crew of experimental Skyraider warriors followed the Autobot ship Eight Track to the planet Beta-Nine, where he hoped to beat them to a mysterious cargo that had crashed there aboard the Van De Graaff. When the Autobot ship's youngest member was separated from the rest, he leapt out at him from beneath the swampy waters, missiles blazing. He ordered Hellbat to hypnotize the young Autobot, but interference from a native swamp monster distracted him long enough to allow their prey to escape. Banzai-Tron pursued in boat mode.

>After the Autobot left the Van De Graaff with the cargo, Banzai-Tron again cornered the Autobot. Despite Skyquake's warnings, Banzai-Tron accepted a canister from the Autobot, only to quickly find that it was a decoy. A hand weapon set to "overload" was inside, and it exploded in his face. Banzai-Tron was defeated and captured.

ok.

Marvel Grimlock is still the peak of the character. IDW would have been the best but he disappeared after Maximum Dinobots (which was one of the best TF comics in IDW. Period.) And reappeared in MTMTE , with no ability to talk or do anything despite having a lot of shit he still probably had to do. The fact that he wasn't there to help fight Shockwave is actually a crime. But yeah, I like it when they actually make Grimlock smart and not a caveman idiot.

IDW Grimlock is one od the worst cases of 'Put on a bus' in that continuity, when what happened to Grimlock was revealed I couldn't take this continuity seriously since it's irresponsible to write off such a big player in such a way. I think none of the other Furman characters had it as bad. Well, we never did know whatever happened with Banzaitron but that might be for the best.

>'Grimlock was so traumatized by my OCs edginess he was left useless'-Roberts, probably

He means Ultra Magnus being a mantle and not a bot, like with Minimus Ambus.

>I couldn't take this continuity seriously since it's irresponsible to write off such a big player in such a way.
It really was. Not to mention a bit offensive. James Roberts was basically attributing talking like a caveman and pissing on yourself to being mentally impaired. I mean, I know it does happen but jesus christ man. That wasn't subtle.

>Scorponok and Flame
>Roberts OC

He might have meant Tarn since the first time we meet Grim in MTMTE was in the same issue the DJD are introduced.

Would it have been any better if Grimlock was at least left traumatized from direct torture and experimentation?

I might be remembering how he was left "dumb" wrong. It's been awhile since I read that issue.

Well then he's a dumbfuck because Tarn had absolutely nothing to do with Grimlock's change, both now in the completed series and back when that issue was released.

No, it was Overlord. Remember that Grimlock was in the same prison planet when Overlord took it over.

>I might be remembering how he was left "dumb" wrong. It's been awhile since I read that issue.
Basically Scorponok hit him with an impairment magic stick and Grimlock was left helpless. To make matters worse, Grimlock was clearly meant to represent disabled people (knowing James who loves to be "woke"), yet by the end of Lost Light his "disability" was magically reversed. That's nice and all but in real life if you have autism or something it's never magically going to be "poofed" away. Basically his attempt to be progressive and have representation backfired on him and just came off as mildly offensive and lacking in tact.

Yes, it would have been better that way. Hell, Shockwave was one of Grimlock's main nemesis, it would have been cathartic to see him come and kick Shocky's ass when his plan got revealed.

Overlord was present at Garrus-9 but it was Scorponok and Flame who kidnapped Grimlock and tortured him to pry the magnificence out of chest.

With the way Roberts handled Nautica's grief and his own desperate attempts to out-edge himself with his villains, it's safe to call Lost Light a dumpster fire.

I guess that's better than Overlord traumatizing Grimlock into a mess. But still, they made sure to write him off for a huge amount of time from the books.

No, it was SCORPONOK AND FLAME. Overlord had Grimlock watch the pitfights and it made Grimlock feel helpless, but that's it. Scorponok and Flame were the ones that tortured him and broke his mind. The comic directly tells you this.

Grimlock also had major beef with Scorponok. Shockwave wasn't the sole person on Grimlock's shitlist.

I think you're reading too much into your perceived authorial intent.

>But still, they made sure to write him off for a huge amount of time from the books.
Which also happened in Marvel.

>I think you're reading too much into your perceived authorial intent
Not really. Most of James characters in LL were neurotic in some way. Nautica was aspergers coded for example.

>Nautica's grief
God that was terrible

Also the fact that Cybertroupia was an alien suicide clinic. Like, not even a Cybertronian suicide clinic, it was a suicide clinic for organic aliens run by some aliens with psychic abilities.

>Been setting up this "Promised Land" New Cybertron (Which would've been perfect when Unicron destroyed Cybertron) for years
>It's actually just a giant suicide clinic
The biggest letdown since sliced bread

They could have even made Cybertroupia, Unicron and it would have worked pretty well. Literally anything would have been better.

Cybertutopia could've worked if it was The Quintessions. It'd make sense if they were using the clinic as a cybertronian parts harvesting thing. Tie it in with Unicron and bam, it could've worked so much better.

Would've been genius and even foreshadowed since spotlight: Hotrod but lo and behold, James wanted to write his own story completely seperate from the rest of the world and so, all tie-ins with Quints and Unicron were absent.

Also do you guys remember that part where the Magnificence said it was going to call upon entities from a higher dimension and summon them or some shit? What the hell was that all about?

>Cybertroupia was once an actual second Cybertron so far away from the other it was peaceful. A heaven for all Cybertronians created by Cybertronians (But actually Quintessens)
>Some even believed that it was Primus, with its life-giving Energon and multiple hotspots
>But its core got corrupted, it's energon turning into something else
>Thus, the Knights, afraid they its corruption may spread, abandonned the corrupted planet, and destroyed any record of it and map in hopes that no one would ever find it
>Millennia later Rodimus and co, following an ancient map that only told the good of Cybertroupia and not that it went batshit. find the planet. But it's cold and completely devoid of life
>So they jouney into its dormant core and give it life, in hopes that they're not too late to awaken this once great planet
>Turns out due to its corruption, the AI/sopark that called itself Cybertroupia now called itself Unicron
>And they just woke him up
>And he's hungry
Then something something the LL crew gets corrupted and become Unicron's chaos children (One of the reasons why the knights abanodded the planet because its corrupted energon began to enslave everything to the planets will)

That sounds good, it even makes sense as well.

Way to ruin a character already loved by many.

>People like Nautica
>People like Skids
>Kill one off and ruin the other in a fatal swoop
I hate Roberts so much

Now THIS is good. I would have loved to read this. I don't even think the LL would have to be corrupted, just them discovering it would be fine by me.

Skids was my favorite character. Fuck Roberts.

And I don't care what everyone says, it's because everyone can't get passed the fact that he accidentally got Prime killed

>And I don't care what everyone says, it's because everyone can't get passed the fact that he accidentally got Prime killed

it really is that.

That Deviations comic was basically a revenge Hot Rod torture porn story, the writer being like hahaha take that Hot Rod everyone hates you.

At least Japan loves him and even gave him a girlfriend, I guess Hot Shot kinda counts too. Funny that the Last Knight treated him fairly, they gave him Elita's power with none of the setbacks and he became Bumblebee's best bud. That last thing may seem like nothing but association is the next best thing in Transformers due to being collector focused.

Literally anything, anything, would have been better than the alien suicide clinic reveal.
I'm pretty sure Quintessons were what everyone thought it was too obvious to be, but jesus would it have been better.

Optimus Primal was my favourite.

Even when they try to do something fresh and new and give him some backstory, by default everyone hates him because he got Prime killed to a point where anytime the two are on the same screen/page, everyone expects him to somehow get Prime killed
He gets so much shit and is treated like shit that he's pretty much a tragic hero that tries so hard to get approval but only gets shit

yeah Takara likes Hot Rod because they don't completely dwell on Optimus Prime thanks to having more leaders post Primes/Convoys.

Shaoshao Li a cute.

Oh sure, these are wizards. All the while promothing new toys.

I hope Shaoshao gets featured in the new chink series somehow. Might give me a reason to watch it.

It would make sense since she's Chinese.

If Hot Rod is in it then yes.

If I made a Transformers series I’d have ShaoShao in it, Hot Rod and Autobots in China and shenanigans ensue with ShaoShao teaming up with him.

She could the EDC representative overseeing what the Autobots are doing and reporting to her superiors, though because she is both a friend of the Autobots and of Marissa, those rules are pretty lax so I guess the Autobots get away with lots of property damage.

It's just so edgy and pretentious at the same time.
He was fantastic overall.

What if you made a continuity where all the Transformers are actually just AI that have evolved over the years in a deeplearning experiment and their entire world is actually just a computer simulation. The AI overlord mods are Primus and Unicron and magic is essentially being able to "fuck with the system".
Mind you the Transformers would not know this at all. Only Primus and Unicron.

How does it play, is it a nightmare?

Probably like Umineko.
Both Unicron and Primus are nightmarish trolls. Primus is order and serenity taken to the extreme, Unicron is chaos taken to it's extreme and tries to cause havoc whenever he can either through his religious followers or himself, he probably has a kind of astral body that he can use while his actual body is sleeping in the form of a planet. Primus can use the same. Since space is actually just a digitial jamboree, they could technically spawn anywhere they want being the "mods". Neither one is evil or totally good by the way, they're more like forces constantly playing a game with one another. Also, yes, the world would definitely be nightmarish but either Unicron or Primus can just hit the restart button if it gets to terrible or too peaceful. Essentially the Transformers are trapped in a loop of fighting this war over and over again. Afterall, it's an experimental simulation run by the mod AI's.

Well, shit, it makes sense, though I hope it's not the only canon.

>enjoy her while you can
Are they going to delete her out of existence? She's already irrelevant.

No, they can't delete her, but I very much doubt she'll ever get used again.

Grimlock would ask Blaster if he could borrow his thrash records to listen to while he's ripping Decepticons apart. I can see it in my head.
[Spoiler]And Blaster would say no just because he knows Grimlock would break them[/spoiler]

Ironhide just because I always preferred him over Bulkhead. Play up the cowboy angle and make him Optimus' buddy that he can talk to about anything, even cutting Chromia out of their dynamic somewhat despite her higher standing. And if you wanted to go for the Ironhide/Chromia thing that people seem to like, might be a good twist on that relationship.

If I did include Ironhide in the team, I'd make it so he and Chromia would be very good friends and confidants. In fact, before the war, Ironhide would be the one who'd help craft Windblade's sword as a gift which would inevitably be used against Chromia, leaving a small, signature scratch on her cheek that never goes away.

It always annoyed me that the names for the main component and combiner of the Decepifemme team weren't switched; the main body should have been Megatronia, and the combined form should have been MegaEmpress.

Attached: chromia_vs_windblade__by_m_a_v_e_r_i_c_k_dctqdcm-fullview.jpg (1024x1326, 155K)

Also, I'd love to have something of a little rivalry between Ironhide (or any big guy) and Brainstorm, with the idea of Brains vs. Brawns. In fact, I even had a little scene in my head when the Autobot team first get stranded on Earth, eventually finding the remains of the Ark:

>The Autobots finds the remains of the Ark, and set to work restoring what little power it has
>Brainstorm is checking the internal wiring, when he notices Ironhide kicking the main engine, hoping to reboot.

>Brainstorm: Oh, yes! KICKING it is going to do us some many wonders.

>Ironhide kicks the main engine one last time, suddenly jump starting the machine, powering up the Ark. Ironhide gives the super scientist (who looks away crossing his arms, pouting under his face plate) a smug smirk.

>Brainstorm Show off...

>It always annoyed me that the names for the main component and combiner of the Decepifemme team weren't switched
Same, It just doesn't seem to make a lick of sense other than following the playing cards theming.

Cute. Do you have any other interaction in mind?

This is for your continuity, right?
Evil Windblade looks amazing, it's unironically an upgrade for me.

Not him but I like it as well.

They were meant for each other.

Such a great couple, I hope they meet again.
Also, the more I watch this movie, the more obviously appareant it is that Charlie doesn't have feelings for memo, or at least ones as strong as my friend says. I showed him(not a fan of the transformers, had to explain what energon was and what the war was all about) the movie the other day and he said he thought he was a cool, nice guy and rooted for him. When the movie ended, we had an argument about whether or not Charlie and Memo were going to hook up. He said they would, I said they wouldn't. He mentioned the kiss on the cheek and the car rides(taking off the shirt and being pressed together), I mentioned the fact that Charlie was more handsy with Bee(seriously, she touches him non stop. The amount of times she hugs him and cradles his face in her hands is staggering) and how inany scenes Memo is seemingly a non participant.
I didn't mention that I felt the movie was basically Shape of Water but I'm sure well bring it up again when we discuss the franchise again. He legit thinks the Bay films are good, even Age of Extinction.

........Isn't this how it actually is?

Except it's not AI's, it's just Budianski, Furman, Barber...

>even Age of Extinction
Wew...
Anyway, I agree, Memo was a non-character most of the time. Bee and Charlie formed a much stronger bond.

Yeah, he says its fun and I shouldn't take it seriously(I have a reputation among my friends circle for being " the movie guy" and they feel the need to remind me once in a while to cool my film autism), and if I just turn my brain off its entertaining in a "so ridiculous its good way". We begin arguing about the characterization of the transformers and he says the characterization is good and memorable, and I don't think I need to go on.

That's the meta of it all and exactly part of why I would want to write this setting if I actully had the talent to write my own continuity. The Transformers are in an endless war and constantly suffering because humans like to watch them suffer. Primus and Unicron just carry out our will and are happy being fed random information and images from our world beyond the computer.

hmm I took bee for more of a qt sub not really the top in the relationship like that

Hmmmm, this idea sounds really nice and creepy and sad. Definitely a religion I can add to my collection.

Woah, several Sentinels, sorta like Magnus and Prime, huh. Animated Sentinel has no claim over the primacy though, his only claim is "we have soldiers, G1 Sentinel is dead, let's "protect" the city before the Decepticons take it". I'll probably take a look at Korean history or something and see what parallel I can do for one of their military coups..

Nah, Soundwave would be that dude who wouldn't even notice that there are bots crushing on him, just lives his life, doing his job for the Decepticon cause. Basically, he'd be Duke Togo..

He is gentle and caring, though.

It's sci-fantasy disguised as sci-fi, really.

Depends on how close we are to a new Hot Rod toy. Given Springer and Ultra Magnus, chances could be good.

He could have upgraded to SDs, you never know. Good luck with Xaaron.

even then they can always use the Titans Returns or POTP Hot Rod figure designs.

Oh right, because of Cyclonus who uses his CW design. True. Plus Firedrive is in the toyline. I guess we might see Hot Rod soon.

Wait, so Ravage speaks to Soundwave or Soundwave pretends to hear Ravage?

Soundwave talks to Ravage, but initially when he meets the MC he talks, but doesn't talk when anyone else is around and this fucks with the MC's head. Eventually we'll see Ravage and Soundwave having conversations when they're alone. Was thinking about the Garfield comics and his talking being ambiguous.

Who would be like, the worst neighbour ever? Swerve? My bet's on Siren, probably.
>tfw he's an okay dude but I had to be asleep 4 hours ago

I can also imagine Soundwave completely droping off the radar of his old commanders. Like, nowadays he has no idea what Megs, Starscream, and Shockwave are up to and he doesn't really care much. Got him caught up in all that war nonsense which took way too much time away from raising his kids the right way.
>tfw he's good friends with Bee now and they love having Potlucks
>Soundwave has great respect and almost a sense of comraderie in Grimlock only because he hates Shockwave even more.
Speaking of Shockwave, he's probably the owner of some really shady labs doing some shady research into like, Cybertronian chestplate enhancements or something.
