This was a great update in terms of setting motivation for the Decepticons! It would appear that the falling out among thieves is about to take place! I'm looking forward to seeing your next update! You are right about both Landmine and Mirage. I have seen and tested Mirage's level of balance and it is incredible. Mirage is, without a doubt, one of the best deluxe toys ever released. Will you be using Landmine in your comic?
Landmine is the leader of the good guys. He didn't have too many scenes to start, but he'll be a bigger player later in today's update. You may have missed Infiltration part 3, I just added that... UPDATE: The Breakout, part 1. If no one catches the Payload joke, I'll be pretty mad. Is there a reason no one reads this besides Icespark, Otispq, and my girlfriend? Does everyone hate me or something? EDIT: UPDATE: The Breakout, part 2. There was an explosion shot to go here, but it became corrupt somewhere between Paint.NET and Imageshack. It wasn't too good anyway, Just BOOM and some blurry stuff. Sorry about Spyshot's line being hard to read, he's saying "Wee! I is ridin' a girl! Wee!" UPDATE: The Breakout, part 3a.
Landmine as the leader is rather unexpected, as was the reference to Payload's decals! Seeing the breakout take place during an attempt at treason by Galvatron should be very amusing! I'm not sure if mass jailbreak was something he calculated into his plans! I'm sorry that you're not getting many replies. I have subscribed to your thread and I will try to comment as often as I can, time permitting. It could be that not everyone is aware of your comics. It might help if you place a link and reference into your signature, so that when you post in one of the other boards, members will know that you have a comic thread!
I do have a link in my sig, and I'm telling all my friends to read it (but they don't understand that post #13 is on page two, so it takes some searching to find)... I do appreciate the fact that you've subscribed to it. Here's what happens after Longview plants the explosives... Edit: 5:05 PM eastern The Breakout, finale
I see the link now. It's rather small though. You could try changing the text to the name of your comic thread, and place it above the link to your sales thread or under your signature picture. It might also help to actually make your signature picture itself a link to your comics! I've found a few good comic threads that way, and it makes it easier for other members to get to your comics as well.
As for getting a Landmine, when I see that bad boy I'm getting 2! Beachcomber & Wheeljack were my first ever TF's and one of the Landmines is getting a paintjob! On to the Payload joke, I had to grab my fig off the shelf to get the joke, as I don't play with him too much, but that was a great line. Thanks for the recog on reading your thread, I'm enjoying it and all the nuances are intriguing to say the least. I just quickly looked thru the postings, and I'm guessing that MintyBB is your girlfriend, right? seems like the only other consistent multiple poster 'sides me n Icespark. Might I just add a wee bit of hints to your pics? the text boxes are great, but to see more of the bots, you could use a little smaller font and smaller text box, cuz Spyshot's line was about the right size, just for the background it would've been perfect, the text you used in part 6 was awesome, especially with the little lines telling us who's talking. That way you can put the text anywhere and we still see the action. Keep up the good work!! Edit: actually the text size you used today is perfect, but still could make the bubbles a bit smaller on some of them. hope I'm not coming off as the armchair quarterback here.
Yeah, MintyBB is my girlfriend. I'm still working on the text problem, but I think the next portion may have fixed it... It's just a matter of coloring the text in such a way it can be seen on the background... When I work on these, they're practically full screen (camera uploading issue, can't be fixed) so I try my best to plan them out first, and then add the stuff, but apparently that isn't working... This post will contain Assasination and Takeover when I upload them. EDIT: posted at 5:32 PM eastern
Interesting plot twist! Now there are two groups of Decepticons to deal with! In the confusion, the prisoners should be able to get away easily! Also, how high a rank does Megatron have? Or is he not the original Megatron? I looked up where the information on how to combine a picture and link is located. You can access it from this page. At the bottom of the page under Thread Tools is Help with Creating Links. In the middle of that article, look for Images. It should hopefully explain how to combine your signature picture with a link!
Megatron is a low general. He isn't "the" Megatron, per se, but he does have a lot of Megatron's qualities. Think of it like naming someone after a president/celebrity/other leader. I don't know if I made it clear or not, but there's actually 3 groups, all claiming to be the real Neo-Decepticons. Galvatron's got the power, Cannonball's got the title, Scourge/Sharkticon/Megatron did the dirty work for their leaders and want some recognition. I'll see about making a sig for myself sometime soon. Maybe now... The monkey butt scanner pic seems sig worthy...
I thought that Megatron's name might be something along those lines, but I was not sure. I didn't realize that the lower Decepticon officers counted as another group. Landmine and the Chosen One are going to be busy, aren't they! Also, have you given the Chosen One a name? I see your transformed your picture into a link! May I suggest though that you mention the name of your comics in the text portion of your signature?
The Chosen One says his name's Ironhide in the 2nd strip. The lower officers are another group (mostly) because Scourge is the one that actually killed Nemesis. Sharkticon and Megatron went along with him because they could. Dropkick will probably end up fighting for all 3 sides at once, just to screw things up more. I should have another small update coming later, but not quite yet.
I wonder how I missed Ironhide's name? I really need to wash my glasses more often! Dropkick's interfering sounds as if it will be very amusing! I look forward to seeing how events turn out! I hope your signature will make it easier for members to find your comics!
You aren't the only one with dirty glasses I can't really see Dropkick as more than a saboteur, so that's what he is. It was either that or pimp, and saboteur won. Considering views have jumped by almost 100 just in the time I posted the last updates (and I don't think 4-5 people can do that), I'd say I'm getting more viewers. Now I need more commenters...
Well if you keep updating the way you did today, there should be plenty of people in here in no time! PS. I wasn't sure who whas all saying what in the new leader announcement pic, just draw a line to whomever is speaking, as for the off camera folks, not sure how to fix that, but I read it all out of order and 3 times to get it all figured out. Interesting with the 3 different factions...
I'll be fixing that when I re-caption it (apparently it was Paint.Net that cut it off) so it's a little clearer, but I have some other things I need to do first. The only problem with updating like I did today... I'm running out of story. I have Civil War part 1 written. That's it. I'm gonna try for more tonight, but I don't know where to go from here.
200 views since lunch. I'm impressed, but half of them are probably me. I re-added the leadership pic, but it's more condensed than before. Here's the last strip before chapter 2: Civil War and Preparations And Chapter 2 intro:
