I know. I'm hoping to pull a Rung someday. So far, the big want I have is that badass Ultra Magnus design.
Yeah. I did make sure to have the character be fairly background (his role? Tactician and Organizer. Not glamorous). I also agree; too much fan interference is a BAD thing.
Coolest thing he let me do was pitch an OC idea to him. He liked it, even though the character has some crazy-ass colors and a nonstandard vehicle mode.
Yes... I got the first one. I had Glenn put me down for it as soon as they announced it like 3/4 months ago. Sorry!
