Hey guys, I've read some of the comics on this forum (not all, yet, unfortunately) and some on the net, and I really enjoyed them. I thought of making some of my own, but I never quite got around to making em till my term break. I'm not very good at stuff like this, but I really enjoyed making em and didn't quite realize how time consuming they were (now I can really appreciate the effort people put into their comics) Anyways, here's my first:

#1: Matrix of Leadership
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h90/orangelane/photocomic%20or%20tf/1matrix-o-leadership.jpg

As a kid, my sis and I have always enjoyed giving our toys personalities, never mind what the package says about the character of the toy (which is probably what every kid does anyway). I guess the habit kinda stuck to me now. I gave most of my transformers different personalities, never mind what the package says.

Rodimus Prime's "prime" title is nothing more than well, just a title, most of the other tranformers don't seem to give him the respect he thinks he duly deserves, and it's not like he does his job well anyway, although he sometimes can use his title to his advantage.

PS: Optimus is new to my household :)

Any comments and constructive criticism is very much welcomed and hope my intro isn't too long :)

Not bad. I would suggest using word balloons to make the words a little easier to read. Also might want to get a new thread title...

"Matrix. Now." I like how he says it short and to the point. "Talk quietly and carry a big gun with you" short and to the point like.

Precisely how it was for me as well. :)

Great! It's always fun to see what new personalities authors can come up with for already established characters.

Any comments and constructive criticism is very much welcomed.

You get a hearty two :lol :lol 's. Great start!

Malaysian?

*Checks again*

So he is! (Good eye, Sycia.)

Hail, fellow Malaysian.

thank you for the kind comments guys :)
Sycia: I'm assuming you're from Singapore? :D your autobots are more than welcomed to join us! ;) ;) ;)
Cataclizm: thanks for your suggestion, I'll definitely keep it in mind :) change my thread title? =O why is that?

Why does Starscream talk in that manner? I'm not too sure myself :)

TaiPoh: That, I am ; ) I need to keep them for tortu--I mean, for collection's sake. Yes, that's it. : )

More love for Robot Heroes! ^____^ Yaaaay~!

01-01-2008, 09:08 AM

Thanks guys :)

Last ones for tonight (just fleshing out the characters' personalities a wee bit):

#3: Guns and Roses
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h90/orangelane/photocomic%20or%20tf/guns-and-roses.jpg
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h90/orangelane/photocomic%20or%20tf/guns-and-roses2.jpg

To tell you the truth? I know nothing about guns. I had to search wikipedia abit for this, there was alot of stuff that I read there that I didn't get. :o In fact, the 2nd sentence Chromia said was lifted straight from that wiki article.

Oh, and I call her Chromia because all the fembots I have are Arcees, and I think it's easier this way than calling her Movie Scout Arcee or something.

#4: Moar Chicks

In case you're wondering who that old tortoise is, that's me XD

Hey guys, once again, thanks to all for the warm response :)
I just bought Revoltech Yotsuba and Levy/Revy, hope you guys don't mind seeing some pics of them

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h90/orangelane/photocomic%20or%20tf/yotsuba-hostage.jpg
"A mental asylum escapee held Megatron, leader of the decepticons, hostage at an abandoned power station last Tuesday. All Megatron’s subordinates, however, were nowhere to be found during the whole fiasco. It took the police 3 hours to get the situation well under control and Megatron freed. Yotsuba was finally packed up and carted back to her padded cell. When contacted, Megatron’s representative, Soundwave, refused to answer any of the reporter's questions."

Yotsuba comes with an extra head with an angry expression. Funny how the whole situation seems to change when you change her expression. Her interchangeable heads are just too convenient. Inspired by: a funny review of Yotsuba by a fellow Malaysian blogger (http://hangmen13.blogspot.com/2007/10/plastic-mayhem-part-1.html)

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h90/orangelane/photocomic%20or%20tf/not-so-fast.jpg
"Not so fast, sista!"

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h90/orangelane/photocomic%20or%20tf/not-so-fast2.jpg
"I knew it would come to this. We used to be the best of friends, when did things go wrong?"
"When you stole mai boi!"

I'll be continuing my comics tomorrow, I didn't have enough sleep yesterday so I'm sleeping earlier. And you'll be seeing Yotsuba and Revy in my comics ;) (how soon? I can't quite say yet)

TaiPoh

01-02-2008, 11:44 AM

Since i had loads of trouble sleeping, I might as well post here :D
Sycia: I wanted to show his face actually, but with the kibble on his back, yotsuba's hand was pushed forward so his head also got pushed down. Which made me realize that I could have taken a low angle photo instead. Damn.
Dila: TaiPoh's a nickname my friends gave me in secondary school. This avatar is actually based on a drawing my friend did of me, which in turn is based on an old design of my character. Hmm...
Thanks for the compliment! I will definitely do moar :)

Honestly, I think the depressed pose works well. XD I wouldn't .be too hot if some kid just held me--a potential Universe-conquerer--hostage either

#6: A burden too heavy to bear
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h90/orangelane/photocomic%20or%20tf/heavy-burden.jpg

I used to carry a really heavy backpack to college, so much so that my friend joked that he can put a brick in my bag and I wouldn't feel the difference.

I finally got in on the ground floor of a really good comic, and didn't have to read through 30,000 pages.

*dances a jig*

Oh yeah great comics TP

:lol :lol :lol Once again, love your avatar. (You might consider using it as your proper avatar here in TFW. :))

I know what you mean with the bag though. Even in my University years, my bag weighs 6 kilograms on average (engineering reference books be heavy). But I considered it weight training, and dad makes sure my posture does not suffer (by literally kicking my butt everytime he sees me hunching).

Oh yeah, I did not mention it before, but nicely done with the little Playbot mag. Along with the mini controllers, you seem to have quite a lot of nice mini props going on there.

Thats. Not. Funny.

Is. Very. Funny.

So. Very. True.

Prime85-oh yes, secondary school was terrible, everyone was leaving their textbooks under their desks while I just carried mine home. My friends laughed at me-till the prefects decided to confiscate the textbooks.
Ryakin-I know how you feel, there's so many good comic threads here that are several hundred pages long, its overwhelming :P
Ripclaw-Aw, thank you :D
Dilazirk-yeah, heavy bags has helped me alot with my stamina, I have to carry alot of art materials to college, this term I'll have to buy an airbrush compressor, I'm not sure how am I going to lug it to college every week though. I know what you mean by engineering books being heavy, my dad has those and I can easily use them as dumb bells (sp?). Mini props are fun to make! ;) ;) Oh yeah, I totally forgot about my avatar, thanks for the suggestion :)

Also, thank you for the compliments guys

01-06-2008, 10:11 PM

These. Are. Really. Funny. LOL! The cartoon characters are a nice touch. Very impressed. If you don't have him you should consider Classics Megatron. He'd be perfect for Chromia. Big cannon on his arm and turns into a big gun.

TaiPoh

01-10-2008, 08:29 AM

Thanks for the compliments, guys :)
Cyberwolf- yeah, i really like classics megatron but I think it's abit too late for me to get him, I prefer Hasbro's version to Takara's. I actually like the nerf-ish colours better. Yeah, Chromia might like him

#8: Pop and Lock
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h90/orangelane/photocomic%20or%20tf/pop-and-lock.jpg

It's very easy to pop off a revoltech joint, the first time I accidentally popped Meg's arm, I nearly panicked.
