Tomi's Angels

[Tomiku]

I've been known to blab and give things away accidentally, so I'm just gonna say two things before I let the comic speak for me. First, the title: I haven't decided whether it's in reference to Charlie's Angels or Hell's Angels, at the moment it could go either way. And secondly... This will not be a simple two-sided conflict between Autobots and Decepticons, with non-TFs joining one side or the other. No, things are planned that will blow that mindset out of the water...

And with that, we present Episode 1.

[SFGMaster]

Nice start! I'll be following along. :)

[Dremare]

Yea!! It is a really good start for Tomi's Angels!

Yes, I agree.

Finally! Something not 'yep'!

Yep.

........

[ShadowDragon]

Good start!

[DilaZirK]

"I'm fine, thanks for asking..." :lol

Nice introductory strip to your reboot.

[Autovolt 127]

Dirge is watching them. DUN DUN! DUN! :lol :lol :lol

[Dropshot]

I'll be paying attention to see what you have prepared for us.

[Otispq]

Well I'm interested, let's see where this goes shall we...

[Deviant Anomaly]

"We're all gonna die" is always a great line for a laugh. :D

Nice start. What happens next? :popcorn

[Tomiku]

Nice start. What happens next? :popcorn

Next, I start squeezing in more characters than there should be in this comic... XP Pictures taken for next strip, will try to take more pictures tomorrow if the weather allows. I'm concentrating on getting as many strips shot as I can while I have the wonderful outdoor settings to use and the weather is nice.

[Coolhand]

Strong, fast paced start. :thumbs2:

Interesting that Durge is so scared of Prime. I take it your Optimus is something of a bad-ass...

[Tomiku]

:lol

[ShadowDragon]

Poor spyshot. :lol

[Tomiku]

I'll admit, I kinda rushed on this one... Explosion effects turned out nothing like I wanted...

At least for once! XD

As the latest update seems to prove on...

[ShadowDragon]

cool!

[Autobus Prime]

I'll admit, I kinda rushed on this one... Explosion effects turned out nothing like I wanted...


T:

You may want to remember how you made the explosion, though, as it would make an excellent "acid splash" effect. A number of TFs fire acids or other liquids.

And however that may be, Prime looks *great* in that last panel. :thumb

Finally, you weren't playing around when you mentioned getting some new fonts. Isn't it amazing how much life a good comic font adds? I know I was surprised, after using Arial for about 25 of mine.

[Grimlock_13]

"You can;t shoot during transformation sequences!" :lol

http://www.maj.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/newcomic/ex1.jpg

:lolol

[Autovolt 127]

So Ice megatron is Shockwave, i was expecting shockblast. oh well.

Optimus becmae Badass. Cool.

[Otispq]

nothing like a sweet headshot to hamper ones abilities to correctly transform!

[DilaZirK]

:lolol @ Bonecrusher prop and getting shot during a transformation sequence.

I think the blast FX looks perfectly fine.

[Tomiku]

:lolol @ Bonecrusher prop and getting shot during a transformation sequence.

I think the blast FX looks perfectly fine.

Thanks. It serves its purpose, I was just trying to get a Polenicus/Coolhand quality without ripping off their style and I don't think I pulled that off.

No comic update yet, but here's a song I wrote inspired by an upcoming scene. First Contact. (http://media.putfile.com/First-Contact-40)

[Coolhand]

Shockwave killed Elita-1? No wonder Prime's a tad annoyed. This could get rather brutal rather quickly. :thumb

Laser blast looks great, btw. Headshots = :rock

[Tomiku]

This is all ShadowDragon's fault. :p

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/anothernewcomic/ex2.jpg

So, yeah, Strarf came in today. KICK. ASS. And yes, I gave her wings. :p

[ShadowDragon]

:lolol

Don't make me bust out the LOLgears.

So, yeah, Strarf came in today. KICK. ASS. And yes, I gave her wings. :p

I know Jess is happy.

Make sure you post in the cult thread so we can update the tally. :)

[Tomiku]

:lolol

Don't make me bust out the LOLgears.

*whistles innocently*

[Tomiku]

Okay okay, last one for now. :p

[Otispq]

:thumb nice ones

[Coolhand]

:lolol at "A hair-dryer with a Decepticon symbol."

Poor old classic Megs...nerfed before his time.

[puppylove]

love the hairdryer bit! :lol

[Autovolt 127]

:lol I'll show you's my pokemons.

Tell me where did you find Starf?

[Dremare]

Yep, really good.

[Tomiku]

Autovolt: ask ShadowDragon.

More goofy filler as I continue to stall.

[Dremare]

Heh heh heh.....

I don't get it.

Me neither

I kind of get it, in a way.

[Chaos Incarnate]

More lolShinkis!

[ShadowDragon]

"Lack of balls" :lolol

[Tomiku]

Dremare: Darth Vader = badass. Anakin Skywalker = whiny emo bitch. Darth Vader + Anakin's voice = OMG! KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!! And supposedly Vader's wheezing and badass voice were due to asthma. :p

Sorry, I just had to poke fun at it. At first Darth Vader was the Samuel L. Jackson of sci-fi, then the new trilogy comes along and it's like "Waaah, I killed my own wife, now I will take out my frustration on others by building a giant frikkin' laser beam (that is definitely not compensating for something) and blowing up planets full of innocent people!" >.<

EDIT: Okay, okay, more LOLShinkis tomorrow. :p

[Eric]

"Lack of balls." :lolol

[Chaos Incarnate]

EDIT: Okay, okay, more LOLShinkis tomorrow. :p

Yay! The fans are appeased!

[Dremare]

Actually, I did get it, it's Raike & Damian that didn't....

Okay, it's technically tomorrow now. :p

So much for your comic's continuity though.

[Tomiku]

>.>
<.<
*in Meg's "STARSCREAM!" voice* STAAAAAAALLLLLIIIIIIIIING! No, srsly. Mom did some spring cleaning while I was away. My cast is spread all over the house hiding in various boxes. But at least I found the rest of the pieces of the desk. ^-^ Besides, I told you only half of the strips were going to be part of the storyline, and the other half would be one-shots. And apparently teh LOLthingies are a big hit, so I'm milking it. XP

[Otispq]

The sig pic is a really good one, and now I must go to Target and buy Elita-one just because I don't have enough crappy looking fembots of my own. But at least she's cheaper by far than the Shinkis, but I guess you really gotta pay for such beauty eh?

[Eric]

Big Daddy=PIMP. :lolol

[Dremare]

....Poor MaoChao.....

Eeee...... Looks painful. Glad we don't have a Kardas.

Yea.......I just hope MaoChao has life insurance....

Let's just hope the wounds heal quickly....

[Deviant Anomaly]

Ah yes. Big Daddy doing what he does best. :D

[Shane Anderson]

:lol

[Tomiku]

Okay, back to storyline. We saw where Optimus is. We'll get to Cliffjumper soon enough. This is where Dirge is.

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/anothernewcomic/ep4a.jpg
http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/anothernewcomic/ep4b.jpg

I spent two hours editing these two panels... I took a separate picture for each jet, it took forever to compile them all, I need more Shinki stands... Actually, I just need more Shinkis... Anybody know a place still selling Ianeira? EDIT: Ianeira acquired, nevermind. :p

[Dremare]

Nope, sorry, Tomi....

[ShadowDragon]

ebay. :tongue:

[Chaos Incarnate]

Tip: Put all your jets on the floor, take a shot, then elevate the camera while keeping it's angle the same. Take a second shot. Now when you layer them, you only need to take out the floor of the first shot. It's not perfect, but it's easy and way faster.

[NotAnAutobot]

Ooooooh.... COOL!!! I like the effect!

Also: I want a Kardas Dragon now. That makes me veeeery jealous of you.

[Otispq]

King of the hill and all that eh?

[Deviant Anomaly]

Nice effects work. :thumb

[Tomiku]

Also: I want a Kardas Dragon now. That makes me veeeery jealous of you.

Yeah, he looks awesome, and is fun to build, but he's really floppy and can barely hold a pose long enough for me to snap a picture. I just had to rebuild his neck because he couldn't hold his head up, there were three ball joints in his neck, THREE! I ended up taking them out and putting in a click-joint. Neck isn't as beefy now, but at least he can look at something other than his feet without having to hold his own head up (look at the nom pic, his claws are holding up his head).

I'll try that next time, CI, thanks for the tip. :)

P.S. DAMN YOU E-BAY!!!!!!!!!!

COMIC POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

[DilaZirK]

^
Wait, what?!

What the heck happened?

[ShadowDragon]

Hope you get better soon, PM me if you need anything.

[Dremare]

Wait... What happened? Please PM me because I want to know, Tomi.

Please tell us. We want to know why you're holding Strarf.

I am curious as well... What happened?

Yea, it's just so curious as what has happened...

Yea Tomi, just PM me & tell me what's wrong.

[Tomiku]

I've said before, Strarf=Jess. No, she's not dead. That's all I'm saying outside PM.

[Chaos Incarnate]

Hmmm...

[Tomiku]

Crisis over!
I'm back and feeling well again. ^-^
Advil: the every pain reliever. Every pain. Trust me.
*rolls eyes*

[Chaos Incarnate]

Wow, lucky you. Advil doesn't work on me. Or Tylenol. Or Motrin. Or anything else like that. I am sadly immune to most drugs.

[Coolhand]

Well, glad you're feelin' better, dude. :rock

[ShadowDragon]

Crisis over!

Ah good, ze alien endosilicoparasite outbreak has been contained and kept from ze press...oof!

[Dremare]

Yaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're better!!!!

Yep.

Thank goodness.

Yes, it is most reassuring. & if anyone is wondering, I'm Rokare still, just a new color.

[Tomiku]

Yay, the bleeding-eye-inducing lemon chiffon text is gone! XP

This was Jess' idea, don't ask... Just go look in the fanart forum...

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/anothernewcomic/ex6.jpg

:lolol

[ShadowDragon]

Shinki's in disguise?

[Shane Anderson]

Pretender shell. :lol

[Dremare]

Heh heh heh heh..... Shinki in Buggy.......

......I don't know why, but that just seems, odd.

Yea..... I would say something else, but that would break the promise....

Well, it's a great idea but it seems so odd, like Raike said...... & I am sad that no one liked my lemon chiffon text.......

Rokare, we were all annoyed with it, but it's okay.

Heh heh. Man I HATED Predenders. Maybe because I actually swaped quite a cool MASK toy for Predender Cloudburst and by the time I realised my mistake, it was too late...:cry

[Dremare]

.....So quiet, so cold....

.....Need, funniness.....

So bored...

Me too....

[Tomiku]

.....So quiet, so cold....

.....Need, funniness.....

So bored...

Me too....

You'll have to excuse us for a while, life has gone to hell and Tomi's really pissy right now. Still no clue where to go with the story 'cause of the constantly changing state of our TF collection (buy our stuff plz kthxbai), and neither of us can come up with anything funny for a one-shot. May end up going with a mini-plot or two until we get the main story pieced back together...

In other news, Tomi keeps on changing his avatar. First he was White Soundwave, then Astrotrain, and now for the moment he's Alt Nemesis Prime (whose purchasing I blame on DilaZirk). Any day now he'll probably declare himself Motormaster, for which I blame the Reprolabels coming in the mail...

In other other news, we have watched all TF:A episodes up to Garbage In/Out on YouTube, and I am now officially a Blitzwing fangirl. *glass-shattering fangirl squeal*

[Coolhand]

Well, hope things work out for you guys soon. No rush on the funnies, this thread will be here waiting for you whenever you're ready.

[Tomiku]

Well, hope things work out for you guys soon. No rush on the funnies, this thread will be here waiting for you whenever you're ready.

A sudden thought. Funny, kind-of storyline, and no need for original material or common sense whatsoever. A full-fledged Monty Python and the Holy Grail parody. Only forseeable problem is the Castle Anthrax scene, I lack Arcee repaints... Or femmebots, for that matter. Then again, I might could skip that scene, as well as do some more condensing so I don't get bored and abandon it halfway through...

At least he's motivated now. :p

[Dremare]

.....Oi, I really hope your life gets better, Tomi.

[Chaos Incarnate]

Holy Grail sketches are so overdone. Do some Flying Circus, then at least a percentage won't know you're spoofing, and they'll think that you invented epic lols.

[Dremare]

Okay, now that Raike , Damian, & Rokare are awake now, here's what they are saying.

Ohhhhh boy. Sorry about your life, Tomi. Hope it gets better like Drem said. & yay Monty Python parody!

Yeah, Drem's life is also in hell, kids won't leave him alone, & for some reason or another, his "fanboys" (or what he calls them) are pestering him...

I just hope that you're getting better.

[DilaZirK]

I hope things get better for you soon, Tomiku.

As for the Funnies, well, no need to force yourself to make them if you don't feel like it. Focus on the things that really brings you joy, but don't lose track of what needs to be done.

[Dremare]

Hey, Tomi, sorry if we're pushing you right now, but......

We're wondering if you're alive.

If you are, and you're just on a bump on the road.

If we're bothering you, sorry.

What Rokare said.

[NotAnAutobot]

I agree with Dremare, Raike, Damian, and Rokare: How are you? I haven't seen you post in forever. Hope your life gets sorted out (if it needs to be, that is) and hope to see you and Jess back again soon.

[Chaos Incarnate]

Wait, I swear I saw Tomiku complaining about Dila's comic. Worry about your own comic first!

[Tomiku]

Complaining? No. Worrying about Dila? Yes. At least I still post from time to time, Dila has disappeared from the face of the earth.

When You're Evil - Voltaire

When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
But call me by any name
Any way it's all the same

I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
I'm the demon in your bed
I'm a bump on every head
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
while there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
I'll be there, I'll be waiting 'round the corner
It's a game. I'm glad I'm in it
'Cause there's one born every minute

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark
And I promise on my damned soul
To do as I am told, for Beelzebub
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job, but does it happily.

I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn upon the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start.

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

It gets so lonely being evil
What I'd do to see a smile
Even for a little while
And no one loves you when you're evil
I'm lying through my teeth!
Your tears are all the company I need

[NotAnAutobot]

TOMIKU!!!!!! Yay! I count that as an update, even if it's just filler!

I won't die from Tomi's Angels starvation. Phew! *wipes brow*

[Dremare]

Yes!!! Tomi's back!!! Even if this is a filler, we now know you're getting back on your feet!!!

[Otispq]

I love that Strarf's just kickin it in the bed of the truck, smooth.

[NotAnAutobot]

I love that Strarf's just kickin it in the bed of the truck, smooth.

Alt. Nemmy Prime = Tomiku, Strarf = Jess, remember? Metaphors abound... :lol

[Falldown]

Alt. Nemmy Prime = Tomiku

Looks like Tomi went and got his vehicle mode upgraded. Stickers/decals look great.

[Coolhand]

Indeedio. Those are some sweet custom decals there.

[Dremare]

Very sweet decals there Tomi.

[Tomiku]

Oh, for the love of... They're just Reprolabels. (http://www.reprolabels.com/Binaltech/motormaster.asp) Nothing much done on my part, go compliment them instead. And for future reference, Prime, Skids, Mirage, Tracks, Jazz, and Divebomb (Ricochet) have them too. When I get some extra cash I'll be adding Blaster, Wheeljack, Grimlock, and Razorclaw (Battle Ravage) to that list.

[Dremare]

I knew what they are, Tomi. And glad to here that you're starting to get on your feet again. Just hope that you won't immediately fall back again.

Yea, hope that you're okay.

Hope that you're having luck on finding more Alternators/Binaltech Transformers. Heard on TFormers that Takara is making a new Transformer series called Transformers: Alternity, that's like Binaltech, but is more of a Deluxe-sized Transformers. You have to go to TFormers to find out what I'm talking about.

Glad to see you on your feet. Hope you make the right choices for your life.

[Z.U.D.O.N]

Just read everything, Tomiku. Not too bad :). A couple of nice photoshop stuff here too. Keep it up! :D

[Dremare]

Found out a spelling error in the last post from me here, sorry. I hope you don't fall back.

[Tomiku]

Here's something I bet you weren't expecting. :p

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=N2qp6gdbG8w

[Dremare]

Man, that was unexpected!!!

OH MY GOD, dancin' Jess.

=O Okay......? I'm kinda of crept out.

Well, all I know is that you're going to start making new comics, Tomi. That also means that your life is getting better.

[DilaZirK]

Hey Tomi, nice to see you still in the comic biz.

The teaser trailer was neat (with some odd songs), but I rather liked the shot of Jess just chillin out on Nemy Prime there. So very relaxed...

[Tomiku]

Hey guys. Would've had an update today, but... Well, I was messing around with Lockdown, trying to add some more range to his posability. I fixed his hand problem, but while I was trying to fix his knees to bend more, the X-acto knife slipped and I cut up my fingers pretty bad. They don't hurt too bad, but should I try to play with my toys I just know I'll get blood all over them, and that would be bad. So whenever my hand heals, you'll have several updates, I have a lot of ideas...

[Dremare]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear lord, hope it's healing quickly!!!

That sounds painful!

Ai ai ai!!!! I hope you heal very quickly!!!

[Otispq]

ok, yep, that video was different. Funny. Hope the hands heal quick!

[Tomiku]

Here come a few tutorials for beginners. All for GIMP.

Make stuff fly. (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/other/tut1.jpg)
Text boxes/word balloons. (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/other/tut2.jpg)
Converting to JPEG. (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/other/tut3.jpg)

I'll have a couple up soon for those too stubborn (or with parents too stubborn) to download GIMP and continue to use MSPaint.

[Tomiku]

The first installment of the MSPaint tutorials, which are a little more advanced.

Part 1 (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/other/paint-tut-a.png)
Part 2 (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/other/paint-tut-b.png)

[Dremare]

They're going to be helpful in my comic, except for the second part.

[Tomiku]

One more quick tutorial thing, then back to the good stuff. I'll come back to these eventually, though. Next on the agenda is faking transparency.

Part 3 (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/other/paint-tut-c.png)

[Dremare]

I realized I use PaintShop, not MSPaint, so it won't work.

[Tomiku]

Other than the first panel, this all actually happened. Seriously. Though not all at the same band camp, I've been to several. The dialogue doesn't match the panels very well because I forgot what I had written for each panel while I was taking pictures. And I completely forgot about my first band camp, where we actually went somewhere and stayed in dorms and all that. Otherwise I would've make jokes about Scary Larry stealing the showerheads, the seniors waking everybody up by banging on the doors with a rubber mallet, and the "TROGDOR!!!" incident.

I'll explain trombone suicides later...

[Dremare]

What happened to Jess's hand!?

(Raike) The color on the computer not working, so I'm typing as black. WHAT THE C**P HAPPENED TO HER HAND!?

(Damian) ...... I find your band camp experiences very amusing, and what the previous two said.

(Rokare) Okay, that was a bit odd.

[ShadowDragon]

Hmm.. something looks familiar about your Starf...

[Tomiku]

What happened to Jess's hand!?

...remember I said this all actually happened? Yeah, that includes that part. I was going to change Strarf's pointing hand back to the open hand, and I couldn't find where I put it. >.< I just found it, but then the wrist spacer fell on the floor and now I can't find it, either.

Hmm.. something looks familiar about your Starf...

My idea, really. I'd use the other chestplate, but somehow it got paint wear in a very "suggestive" place...

It's not what you think.

[Otispq]

sounds crazy!

[Coolhand]

:lol
Ouch! Did Mr Tim recover from his becoming roadkill?
And Jess appears to need a hand...Ba-Boom!

[Tomiku]

:lol
Ouch! Did Mr Tim recover from his becoming roadkill?
And Jess appears to need a hand...Ba-Boom!

So appropriate to make the rimshot sound for this particular comic, lol.

After two months in a leg cast, yes, he did. The truck was barely moving, luckily. Dane was going near 50 when he hit his tuba, though. Surprisingly it was fixed quite easily, unlike that time (NOT at band camp) when somebody turned the bass trombone into a pancake/pretzel hybrid. We have no idea who it was or how it happened, as it happened in a crowded room yet made no noise and nobody noticed. Crumpling metal isn't quiet. I blame Starscream's ghost. :p

While I'm talking about non-camp band stories... Once during a parade, somebody threw an open can of beer into my tuba. I got the can out, but much beer escaped and by the end of the 4-hour parade... :drunk

Anyway, trombone suicides. Lemme check Youtube before I go into a complicated explanation... Aha! Version 1. (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oDonkxiPtVc) Do it wrong, and OFF WITH YOUR HEAD! Also, the lesser known tuba suicides (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jRpfR7gYi6U&feature=related). Please ignore the ketchup and mustard tubas. >.< These are dangerous less because of messing up and more because of the bells of those types of tubas tend to fall off, or in this case, fly off and become spinning blades of death, EDIT: as seen here (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_fddKYSz7z8&feature=related). Reminds me of the time I saw a college marching band do The Firebird, and the colorguard girl dropped the flaming batons. Thank god it was artificial turf, else the whole stadium would have been torched.

From all- er, both, of us here at Tomi's Angels, happy belated 4th of July, the holiday that gives you a legitimate excuse to blow shit up. XD

Action Movie Hero Boy - Lemon Demon

I've gotta figure out where mommy keeps the dynamite.
I'll get some measuring tape so I can time it right.
I know it's dangerous, I know you're thinking I am a fool,
But it's the only chance I'll ever get to look so cool.

Hey, look at me, casually
Walking away like action movie hero boy
In slow-mo, everything glowing and blowing to bits right behind me!

You see it all the time in theaters on the silver screen,
Like when the good guy blows the bad guy's house to smithereens.
I've got a movie-making camera and a dozen grenades,
I'm looking tough, I've got the stuff, I've got the spiffy shades.

Hey, look at me, casually
Walking away like action movie hero boy
In slow-mo, everything glowing and blowing to bits right behind me!

I am aware it's just a movie,
I'm aware it's a cliche,
I am aware I'm being stupid,
I'm aware of that, but, hey,
This is just something that I gotta do...

*BOOM!*

Hey, look at me, casually
Stumbling down like action movie blooper reel
In slow-mo, everything glowing and blowing to bits, including me!

[ShadowDragon]

You scratched off all her paint?

[Chaos Incarnate]

Wha--? What did you do to Strarf?

[ShadowDragon]

Wha--? What did you do to Strarf?

4th of July.. big boom, pieces go flying...

[Coolhand]

:lolol at charred Jess.

[Autovolt 127]

I guess Jess is too american......:lol

[Tomiku]

You scratched off all her paint?
Well, I was soaking MP Screamer's nosecone in rubbing alcohol, Strarf was on the shelf above it, she fell while I was off fixing lunch... Came back and half the paint was already gone, so I just figured I'd just go ahead and scrub the rest off. MMS type Ninja. :p

:lolol at charred Jess.
And that idea came to me after above-mentioned accident. I was *this* close to using CD Red Alert's giant rocket as the fireworks. :p

I guess Jess is too american......:lol
Or too Japanese:

Yeah, Shinki single-layer paint tends to come off immediately upon touching rubbing alcohol. As for the Ninja MMS type, they've had one since the start of Battle Rondo, we finally get a toy for it this year: http://www.busoushinkiworld.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=22

[Otispq]

Ninja Strarf, looks good.

[Autobus Prime]

T:

Well! Now that you've inadvertently fitted Strarf with a black catsuit, you might as well get a bowler hat for Nemesis and see if you can't get some of that 1960s Brit spy action going.

[Shane Anderson]

Starscream has to be clued in about everything, doesn't he? :lol :lol

[TCracker]

I like Starscream's finger expressions

[Coolhand]

:lol

I love the way that Shockwave accuses Starscream of lacking masculinity, and Screamer doesn't argue the point!

I like Starscream's finger expressions
Yeah, those articulated hands on MP Screamer rock. Very nice poses in that strip.:thumbs2:

[Tomiku]

After this one, don't expect updates for awhile. They may happen, but it's not likely.

They're playing Team Fortress 2, BTW. And if you don't get the thing with Prime... Well, it's a G1 reference, I'll let someone else explain it.

[Falldown]

:lol

I've never seen Grimlock sitting before, so another :lol at his seat-feet:o.

[Z.U.D.O.N]

:lolol Although I don't get the part where Prime.. uh.. looks like he's falling or something..

[Chaos Incarnate]

The controllers are wireless though...

[ShadowDragon]

:lolol Although I don't get the part where Prime.. uh.. looks like he's falling or something..

If he's talking about the G1 Marvel Comicverse Prime & Megatron agreed to play a virtual reality video game, loser dies. Megatron cheated, Grimlock became leader of the Autobots.

[Coolhand]

:lolol
Very nice.
"HEADSHOT!"
Prime shoulda known that Megatron would type IDKFA...

[Fez Findie]

If he's talking about the G1 Marvel Comicverse Prime & Megatron agreed to play a virtual reality video game, loser dies. Megatron cheated, Grimlock became leader of the Autobots.

Don't forget that it also involved Grimlock and the Dinobots beatin' the crap out of Trypticon... before which Grimlock simply came over to the Autobot base and basically acted like a drunken thug while tellin' them to make him the leader.

[Otispq]

haha, that was good stuff. Prime running away was awesome.

[Autovolt 127]

QTF!!

[Shane Anderson]

Prime hasn't had good experiences with video games. :lol :lol

[Tomiku]

Finally finished moving (the cause of lack of updates), and also have the Reprolabels now, but can't find which box has my Alts/BTs/Shinkis. Or the box with my camera. Or ANYTHING, really. All I've found so far is my pens-loaded-with-gadgets collection, my Movie Legends, and most of my origami paper. Oh, and my tuba. Hard to lose a tuba.

In other news, recent additions to the collection include: Animated Lockdown (with Cyb. Cannonball Reprolabels and modified hands), Animated Blackarachnia, Animated Prowl (I'm gonna try to work on his knees), and Universe Tankor, who is officially my favorite deluxe-class Transformer of all time.

Updates are planned and scripted, I just need to find everything.

[Dremare]

Hope you find your Alts./BTs./Shinkis, Tomiku.

Ach, hope you manage to find all your stuff.

Man, so many horror stories about moving, makes me wonder how was it that all my stuff made it in one piece during MY move.

Then again, all I had was Old Prime and Bob back then...

[ShadowDragon]

This...not so much. :(

Full powerups in Gradius or 30 lives in Contra. It's the "Konami code"

[halconfenix]

Full powerups in Gradius or 30 lives in Contra. It's the "Konami code"

oh crap... i just can't believe i didin't knew this 15 years ago (more or less) when i was playing contra.... i always end up being easy target.... T_T

[Tomiku]

Man, so many horror stories about moving...

My toys look at the Funnies forum too much. The mini-cons and legends class figures probably got inspired by Polenicus' Decepticons and made sure anyone who could possibly step/sit on them got lost forever... :p

SD: The Konami Code, eh? Does it do anything in Battle Rondo? If it leads to the Holy Grail then forget it, we all know that's in the Castle AAAAaaagggh...

[Tomiku]

STATUS UPDATE:

Alts, BTs, MPs, and Shinkis: FOUND!
Camera and tripod: FOUND!
Other props: FOUND!
Reprolabels: APPLIED!
Scripts: WRITTEN!
Set: READY!

So what am I missing? Oh, right, batteries for the camera. *sticks a pair of AA's in the charger* Gimme about 5 hours or so. >.<

[Dremare]

Yay!!! You've found your collection!!! And me and my sister can't help but laugh at your new sig!!! :lol

[Z.U.D.O.N]

:lolol at new sig

And YAY for your return! :D

[Tomiku]

FINALLY! >.< I made the mistake of plugging the battery charger into an extension cord instead of the wall. Didn't charge up all the way. Had to split the strip in half because the camera died. Took some script rewrites to get a split point... Anyways, after WAY too long, an update!

:lol Welcome back again! :)

[Dremare]

Welcome back, bud!! And where did your Strarf get those skin-colored limbs?

[NotAnAutobot]

Well, that's definitely one way to install a subspace pocket generator...

A :lol-filled way! :lolol

[Tomiku]

Welcome back, bud!! And where did your Strarf get those skin-colored limbs?

From a decapitated Mao Chao. :ev:

Her head disappeared in the move. If we can't find it within the next week or so, Strarf is keeping the limbs and some of Mao's other parts are gonna be kitbashed and/or painted to fit Strarf. And we need to do something about her twin-tails. They refuse to stay on during the photoshoot. Clear nail polish didn't work, and if we use superglue then we won't be able to do stuff like this:

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/artstuff/anothernewcomic/ep5-15.jpg

[TCracker]

Freaking hilarious!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

Now THAT's what I call (to me at least) comedy!

[Otispq]

ah, deleted scenes, that's plot hole devices right there!!

[Autovolt 127]

I wanted to see the next scene. :lol

[Fez Findie]

Well, at least you're just deletin' the scene instead of suddenly showin' a 'bot throwin' an octopus at kids.

Man, ditto on what's been said about about the installation method...

Hope you find Maochao's head. Scary thought though. ("Headless Busou Shinki on the Loose!")

Well, I hope you can find you Maochao's head, like Raike said.

:lol oh that Octane!

[Tomiku]

Hope you find Maochao's head. Scary thought though. ("Headless Busou Shinki on the Loose!")

Is it any worse than G1 Ironhide and Ratchet? Headless Sunstreaker? Incomplete Skywarp? Well, let's just hope her head hasn't sprouted insect legs and started running around looking for chips. XD

Well! Don't just lie there, Nemesis. Keep on truckin'!

"Cat" suit indeed. :D Don't think Emma Peel had a tail, exactly,but it will do. What we really need is to get Nemesis a bowler hat and an umbrella from subspace.

Nemesis is a poser! I'm da [i]original[i] Nemesis Prime! I even gotsa custom plate with ma name on it! Maybe you can see it bettah when I step on ya FACE!

Okay, now that that's out of the way... Bowler hat and umbrella? I don't know about a bowler hat, but I'm sure I can fashion some sort of parasol. Those ones they put in tropical drinks are too small for Alt use, but some black duct tape (yes, I have black duct tape), some toothpicks, and a few lego rods should do the trick. :D I'll save the margarita umbrellas for the Shinkis. They work perfectly, same size ratio and the toothpick-handle fits snugly in their weapon hands.

[Dremare]

Hey, that's a good idea.

[TCracker]

I like!:lolol:lolol:lolol:lolol

"What? I don't have a trailer? Am I MP-01? Am I MP-04? WHAT THE FRAG AM I?!?"

We'll be having more subspace fun, as well as portal testing, once the Shinki kimono I ordered from Puppylove gets here. Possible filler in the meantime if I can think of something funny.

[Katamari Prime]

Seriously, Ouch. :lol

[Z.U.D.O.N]

Yeah, dive to the most occupied spaces...

You're sending DA a Sideswipe?

[Katamari Prime]

Bloody Peasant!
:lol

Second part of our long-running trade agreement. The original shipment I sent her had Skids, Optimus, Swindle, and Smokescreen sans roof. I finally finished fixing Sideswipe and I found Smokescreen's roof. And the Ironman TF is just a present for her being so patient with me.

[Dremare]

Okay, makes more sense now to me.

Did you make Sideswipe into the uber-cool trunk-for-chest mode? I did that with mine, it makes it better.

BTW, check out this comic!

Nah. It gives Sideswipe huge man-boobs. It's a bit better with the hardtop Viper because of the sharp angles and such, but with the convertible and the curves on the trunk... Swipette?

...

I am not proud of those comics. But at least that remake series is better than the originals (http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/rcxmaster/TotCTN/part1/comic01.png) I made when I was 12... Not so much humor-wise but at least they didn't look like crap. And it did inspire some pretty awesome stuff (http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/BackCap/Flash/burn_stuff_psa.swf).

[Dremare]

Wow, that's amazing. :lol

So you made Bionicle sprite comics? Cool. Can you post some of them on here?

Seeing as how my camera batteries are dead from the photoshoot for my upcoming collections topic, that will have to do for an update. :p

:lol

Man, Kopaka has the worst of luck.

[Katamari Prime]

You will Buuurn, Bionicle :lol

[Coolhand]

:lolol
Yep, Sideswipe, you're going to a land filled with chicks and booze. And no, you won't be getting any...
P.S What's all this talk of upgrading Sideswipe with a chest-trunk? I didn't know you could do that...

[Autovolt 127]

:lol

[Tomiku]

Lessee here...

AHA! A Radicons custom with the trunk mod. As you can see, it definitely lends itself to a fembot look. (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/radicons-customs/Alternators-Binaltech/Vixen/)

[ShadowDragon]

They do have a point, it really does look feminine.

[Tomiku]

Status update:

New desk assembled.
Jess' Puppylove kimono received.
New weapons for Alt Mirage (Titanium Rodimus Prime's blaster), Razorclaw (modified Vector Prime sword), Divebomb (MP Megatron's energon saber), Skids (gun from BT Broadblast), and BT Broadblast (modified Cybertron CD Scattorshot rifle).
Camera charged and primed.

What am I missing? Oh, right, being awake during the day in order to take pictures in the sunlight. >.< *has slipped into nocturnal mode*

[Shane Anderson]

The Monty Python homage was fun. I guess being packed away is sort of like going on the cart when you're 'not dead yet'. :lol

Skids owns. My origami chess set pwns. What, you thought Puppylove was the only crafty one around here? :p

[Fez Findie]

Indeed.

Goddamn, as much as he's ignored, he knows when the wipe the floor with a "genius" :D

[TCracker]

Check, mate, and neatly folded into a swan....

[halconfenix]

Oh, you do origami too? You, Bahamut Prime, and I should make an origami topic somewhere on here. :p

Diagrams for Joseph Wu's Birdbase Chess Set. (http://www.josephwu.com/Files/PDF/chess.pdf)

Also, I just realized I had the chess set backwards. My bad. :o And this was based on an actual game I once played with my grandpa, in which he totally owned my ass. Checkmate in 3 turns. >.<

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/rcxmaster/random/chess.png

EDIT: Wait, that's not right... Hmm... OH! Right! This is how it went.

While there is a 3 move checkmate called the "Blitzkreig" which I used to win the match against my 6th grade teacher during our class-wide chess semi-finals... that's check, not a checkmate.

C7 to C6. Check avoided.

edit for your second example G7 to g6, check avoided. :tongue:


What you want that's close to that second example is
F2 to F3
E7 to E5
G2 to G4
Queen to H4.

edit okay, that one's better.

It was a long time ago when this happened and I barely play chess, cut me some slack. :p

[ShadowDragon]

The second one is check too. I added the quickest way to checkmate (must be black). The quickest for white to win is 4 moves and can be done a couple of ways, usually with either the queen or the bishop taking the pawn diagonal the king while the one not attacking protects it from being attacked.

you dont forgive anyone here on chess dont you?

Another package shipped, more Shinkis to join us soon. :ev:

[Fez Findie]

:lolol Awesome how ya make such a sad/bittersweet moment full of some blunt observations.

[halconfenix]

was that a "kissplayer" prime? @_@

(and i mean was cuz im assuming that's the one you send away)

[Tomiku]

No, it's Alternators Prime with Reprolabels.

And I'm actually sending away Masterpiece Prime. Since this continuity's (if you can even call it a continuity) Megatron is the Henkei version, Alt Prime is closer in height. And the MP Seekers fit well into the Alt line as well, considering how much shorter they are than MP Prime, Magnus, and Megs.

In return for MP-04, I'm getting the Shinkis Murmeltier (panzer woodchuck) and Ianeira (mermaid with chest-mounted flotation devices).

P.S. Masterpiece Megatron w/ silencer and stock, no safety plug! BotCon Bugbite! Music Label Rumble, Frenzy, and White Soundwave! All for sale/trade! Click my sig link!

[ShadowStitch]

Ohhhh... don't make me start posting photos and shoehorning into this continuity! :p

Don't worry, Dick. You'll have a happy home here with your brother and neighbors and someday a little Roller to call your own.

[Tomiku]

Ohhhh... don't make me start posting photos and shoehorning into this continuity! :p

/\ is getting MP Prime.

< is getting two more Shinkis.

\/ is getting pistol-whipped.

Oh come on, Shadowstitch, you know you want in on this! This whole photocomic business is fun! *starts chanting* One of us... One of us... One of us...

[Dremare]

Cool. Wonder how they'll react to your home.

[TGCLightGuard]

*Snicker* If I remember my ancient Interwebz Board protocols and the thread from Shin-Goji's forums for TKT, Dremare just got pistol-whipped...

Anywho, awesome comic series, Tomi. Every update makes it that much quicker to falling off my chair.

Don't ask, Drem, just... Just don't. I'll tell you when you're older.

TGCLightGuard... Name doesn't sound familiar. What's your NMI username? Maybe I know you.

[TGCLightGuard]

Check yer PM...

Sorry, Dremare. At my age, things start to look the same, no matter where you go. I've been IRC'd, Altdotted, AIM'd, MSN'd, Yahoo!'d, forumed, the works. Ten years of Internet will do that to you. Makes me wish for the days of Bulldrek and Kwyndig, the Hellkitten...

Selling MP Prime?
Big Noooooooooooo!

I see Wheeljack is still sore over that whole Dinobot thing. :lol

Whatever floats your boat, but I'd take Prime over those any day. :)

I'll go check it out. :thumb

Not only is that one less dick to worry about, but I've also got Hasbro 20th MP Prime lurking in one of these boxes... And he's not going anywhere, trust me.

And Shane... It's you. Of course you'd prefer Prime over Shinkis. Shinkis in your hands are nothing but ingredients for Silverbolt. Oh, BTW, Maochao has no head and most of her other parts are being kitbashed for Jess. You want the leftovers for the stew? Buy something from my topic and I'll throw 'em in for ya. ;)

[Tomiku]

Yay, Mur is here!

First, the actual update.

It would be funnier if you could actually see the huge bald spot her helmet is covering up.

And a photoshoot of a neat armor configuration I made up.

[Coolhand]

Ah, just the thing for those packed rush hour roads... (Love the way her Mauser Broomhandle pistol slots into the cannon. That's a nice detal.)

[Fez Findie]

She better keep a comb handy... also, that's some awesome combination of two toys :D

[Z.U.D.O.N]

Sweet! :D

Hey, how "bad" is the bald patch on her head?

[ShadowDragon]

Love the way her Mauser Broomhandle pistol slots into the cannon. That's a nice detal.

In the normal configuration it's trigger actually becomes the trigger for the cannon.

Hey, how "bad" is the bald patch on her head?

If you pull the hat off the hair with the hat on it, there's not a bit of hair under the hat. They do include a hatless hair version though of course (see puppylove's Mel) so you aren't forced to use the hat.

[Tomiku]

Yeah, the main cannon is upside down. Couldn't get it to work the other way...
