Ok I’m already interested in reading this.

I’m shocked the founder of Vox is writing this but this is actually surprising

Unironically looks great. Livio's really got good

I talked with Livio a bit at tfcon last month

What’s the short box?

I can't wait.

I wanted this series to be good, especially because it has no annoying humans in it, but it is soooooo meh. And I really dont like what they did with Grimlock.

What's wrong with Grimlock?

I guess people weren't expecting it so early, plus that Spider-Man business happened.

What did he say?

Bump because storytime.

I just read this comments on another site and I don't know if it's true:

Furman @ TFN

This is a one off but Furman has pitched five other ideas to IDW for single issues that would integrate with the original comic. This issue is set directly before issue one and integrates Man of Iron properly into the US continuity.

The Animated script reading at TFNation - covering the first three episodes of what would have been season 4 - "The Trial of Megatron"

To recap, in lieu of a script reading at this year’s TFNation, Marty Isenberg took to the stage with the outline for what would have been the premier of Transformers Animated Season 4: The Trial of Megatron. This was presented by the entire original voice cast reading their parts of the outline.

The highlights of this three-part story that wasn’t are:

The Protoforms are handed over to the Cyber Ninjas and their new sensei, Dai Atlas.

Sari is not one of the protoforms. She’s something else.

A wake is held for Prowl.

Ultra Magnus dies and names Optimus Prime as his sucessor.

Sentinel Prime bribes Bumblebee with a spot on the Elite Guard to endorse him as Ultra Magnus’ successor. This drives a wedge between him and the rest of the team. He later reconciles by refusing to follow along with Sentinel’s bribery.

Ratchet and the other science bots build Sentinel Prime a “Powermaster” armor suit.

Ironhide and Jazz become members of Team Prime.

Omega Supreme has a hard time fitting in on Cybertron as people view him as a weapon of mass destruction. Omega decides to dedicate himself to saving lives.

The Decepticons attack the Energon farm Bulkhead came from. Obsidian leads the attack. A later raid sees Team Prime sans Bumblebee fight Strika’s Team Charr.

Sentinel gets played by Megatron, first leading the Elite Guard on a wild goose chase then distracting everyone with a public trial.

Rattrap (here named Rattletrap) is Megatron’s defence attorny. He gets Megatron off all charges.

Megatron launches Trypticon Prison into space.

Optimus (using the Powermaster armour) leads his team on Omega Supreme in pursuit. Bulkhead stays behind on Cybertron to fix the damage Trypticon launching caused.

Omega VS Trypticon leads to Omega being damaged and remaining in ship mode.

Optimus and crew (minus Ratchet) break into Trypticon prison and knock the rocket city’s power offline by overloading the power grid.

Megatron throws his soldiers into the city’s reactor in a desperate bid to keep the prison powered (Lugnut jumps in willingly)

After a showdown with Optimus Prime, Trypticon prison crashes to Earth – landing on top of Dinobot Island.

Powermaster Prime was a Hasbro request to allow Hasbro to release a larger size / priced character. Marty worked it into the premiere.

Hasbro also requested flames on Optimus, movie-style. This would have been a repaint on the toy. It popped up in the outline as signifier of a high honour awarded to Optimus.

Focus would have been on Mini-Cons, but the other Decepticons would have eventually come back.

Megatron was completely losing it at this point in the story. Described as "not quite Beast Machines genocidal, but on the way there"

Marauder Megatron was a Hasbro request, they wanted a triple changer design. Intended to make Megatron a huge threat to the point he didn't need minions.

Writers never figured out exactly where Sari was going. But her journey was the story of Transformers Animated - idea was the finale would have been the end of her journey.

Beachcomber was intended for Season 3. He was supposed to catch Longarm turning into Shockwave. His reaction? "Dude, not cool". Then Shockwave kills him. This was cut for time.

Beachcomber was then intended for a scene in Season 4. Blackout would have killed him.

If the Beachcomber scene hadn't happened in Season 4, he'd have died in Season 5. Marty didn't like Beachcomber.

Unicron considered "too big for Animated"

No plans to have had Megatron become Galvatron in Animated.

Shattered Glass episode was intended for Season 3. It got bumped when the Season 3 opener was made into a three party.

Marty doesn't remember who would have been on Slipstream's own team of Decepticons.

Optimus as a young leader was Marty's idea. He likes writing underdogs and characters with something to prove rather than big heroes.

Blitzwing as a character was born from Marty wanting to write a character who turns into anything. Because that didn't work as a toy, Derrick Wyatt suggested using a triple changer. Marty then came up with three personalities. Derrick was then inspired by He-Man's Man-E-Faces. In-show origin would have involved Blackarachnia and been told in Season 4.

There was a running joke about having a transforming character called "Tractor". He'd have been an Energon farmer.

Blurr was not intended to come back - he was "gone and dead" as far as Marty was concerned. But, the Botcon story where Blurr is revived "is canon. Sure. Why not?"

Team Charr were not specifically planned to be used (no stories built around them) but Marty thinks they would have "inevitably" been used.

Ratchet probably ran off with Omega Supreme as the Ark, and nobody else knew rather than him being intentionally given to Optimus.

Characters like Red Alert and Rodimus would have been recurring characters.

Marty thinks Obsidian in the treatment may have been a slip on his part, and could have been Strika in the final cut.

No plans for more flying Autobots.

Human villains were phased out - "fell by the wayside" - as the series progressed. Not a Hasbro pushback.

The timeslot for the Unicron Trilogy and Animated was based on a deal. The first run was on a decent timeslot but if the ratings were not good, it'd be moved to an earlier timeslot.

Cartoon Network wanted Marty and the crew to "age up" the show for season 3, to reflect the network's other shows at the time (specifically the new Ben 10 and Clone Wars)

Bulkhead was the first character Derrick Wyatt designed.

Lockdown was based on wanting a version of Death's Head that Hasbro could own.

He's smart and sophisticated in robot mode, but standard dumb Grimlock in beast mode. I think it's great.
>and adorned with arresting artwork by veteran Transformers artist, Livio Ramondelli
Ramondelli's art sure is arrested, all right.

Chances of actually seeing a new season "slim to none". Comic a smaller investment, but up to IDW to decide if they want to do it. Marty would be happy to write it.

Marty says if you want to know more, get the Allspark Almanacs.

A huge thanks to the TFNation crew for organising this event, Marty Isenberg for sharing this with those in attendance and the entire Transformers Animated voice cast for reuniting to reprise their roles.

The performance was presented in aid of Mary’s Meals. You can donate to this good cause at www.marysmeals.org.uk/donate

That's sad. Surely that 4th season would be nice.

You're retarded nigga, Cyberverse is based as fuck. No pretentiousness, no melodrama, just fun.

>Cyberverse is based as fuck. No pretentiousness, no melodrama, just fun.
This is true, Hasbro has been pretty good about keeping the show like this lately.

I just feel like all of season 1 could have been handled in like 1-4 episodes and everything else is just poor filler. And the fight scenes are just done very very very poorly. Like they're not even trying poorly. If you like it, good for you I guess. But I've seen better fight animation in cgi shows from 20+ years ago.

Give it to me straight, as a white male what are my odds of getting to write a Transformers comic before I die?

Attached: Megatron.png (1024x576, 501K)

Pretty goddamn strong, most writers are exactly that.

He said it was cool to work on this but nothing really spoilery of note,

That's cool, hopefully the comic is good then.

Im hyped. Constructicons have always been my favourite group of bots and their own ongoing is a dream come true.

If nothing else, it’s a rare chance to give the Constructicons some focus.

I completely forgot about that, they rarely if ever get focus, that's true. They may finally get fleshed out for once.
