Great comic. I love the thought you put into the characters. One question, since there aren't any toy Dinobot bodies to use for the comic, I'm sure you don't ever plan on having Windcharger and Big Grim ever transfer. If they did, though, what kind of dinosaur did you picture Windcharger becoming?
Well, that looks like Obi-Wan Kenobi's stance for Lightsaber Form III: Soresu. Unfortunately, I don't know where it comes from...
Now that’s a VERY good question, and believe it or not you actually do find out a little later in the story. It’s not a major spoiler as such, but it might take the edge out of a certain moment. But if you still REALLY want to know, PM me and I’ll tell you. P.S: Who says I don't plan on having them transfer? You never know... Aaand we have a winner for part B: It is indeed Obi-Wan’s Form III opening stance (although Form III seems to use a slightly modified version of the original "real world" stance, with two fingers poked out and the sabre held to the side of the head rather than over the top.) The nice shiny pebble will be delivered to a beach near you, NotAnAutobot. There’s still another pebble available for anyone who knows the answer to part A. No rush. We've got the whole run of the comic to go...
Well as long as we learn later, I don't want to know yet. I've always been a "spoiler free" sort of guy. I like me my suspense.
Mmmmmm.....MasterPiece Grimlock... Oh I do love red herrings...or DO I? Cool. I shall allow you to remain unspoiled. He could become the transformers version of Murry the Talking Skulll! ...Monkey Island 3 anyone? Anyone? Aaaaand we have a winner! A nice shiney pebble is now wending its way to your coastline, ShadowDragon. Please allow 4-6 tides for delivery.
Not familiar with Monkey Island and Murray the Talking Skull. I was thinking along the lines of Wilson The Volley Ball from Castaway. He just talks though.
Let me guess...Insult Fencing? Behold, Murray the talking skull! (He’s originally a skeleton but gets “reduced” by a cannon-ball.) One of the funniest video game characters ever… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9xLoTXC5fk&feature=related "Me Grimlock use Alpha Trion's five-point-palm exploding spark technique!"
Me Grimlock no Insult Fencer, Me King!! Yeah, I'm guessing that would be Grimmy's standard reply to the insults.
Awesome sparring scene, and awesome FX to go with it! Especially the little touches like the singed carpet. Grimlock: Me Grimlock say, you big dumb poopiehead! Windcharger: How appropriate, you fight like a cow. <-- Not meant to make sense Truth!
I'm sorry that I've missed out on so much! Your special effects are impressive as ever, and the switch in perspective was handled very smoothly! I just can't figure out how you got the Alternators to hold their poses! I highly enjoyed the scenes with Grimlock and Windcharger, as well as the jokes about road. I'll be looking forward to seeing what happens next!
Happy childhood memories...making me go all warm and fuzzy... Heh heh. Insult Grimlock once, shame on you. Insult him twice, well, how did you manage to live through the savage beating he gave you for the first insult? Grimlock: I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle! Windcharger: Well I hope you learned to stop picking your nose. "Could, er...could you pick me up so I can bite you?" "NO!" "Well, just thought I'd ask." Thanks dude, glad you're enjoying it. As for the posing, it's very simple. The Alts hold the poisitions I put them in or else they get the gas...
