    Hmmm....so Megatron's been fiddling with the Gobot's guts. I'm rather curious to know why...

    And :thumb  on the dynamic between Thundercracker and Skywarp. I get the feeling that the two Cons have a genuine friendship, even if there is some knockabout dialouge between them.

    (Rewire you into a condom machine) :lolol

    And of course that was before Beast Wars established "slag" as being a Cybertronian swear word. :D  Isn't hindsight awesome?

    That is a great update - sneaky Starscream and the Cracker/Skywarp dynamic really work well.

    So, do the snow photos include an update on Sideswipe in his new bod?

    :lol  I'd never even thought of that! Oh, there's a joke waiting to happen :D 

    Thanks!

    I'm going to defer answering that for the moment:p  Let's just say I've never attempted anything so complex in terms of a shoot, and I really hope it works the way I envision it. By the time I get to editing the sequence together, there won't be any snow left for me to re-shoot any scenes or pickups.

    No, sherd isn’t a British variant. In RL, I’m an archaeologist, and that’s how we (even goofy-assed Americans) spell it. The term isn’t restricted to ceramics, despite what that Merriam-Webster’s entry says. Arch’s don’t use the term “shard”, for whatever reason. I never stopped to think about it ‘till now; I’ll dumb it down in the future.

    For the first time ever, I’m weeks ahead of where the posted story is at. I’ve got the next two weeks already edited and waiting to go, so since I’m here anyway, I thought I’d update a few days early!

    Yeah, Decepticons plotting against each and then plotting against each other again. What else is new? :p 

    really though, I love the more comic book take of Shockwave here. Most webcomics seem to tend to rely more on his cartoon portrayal and I feel that the version here definitely throws a wrench in the works so to speak.

    X-uh-lent...I am really wishing you had a production crew so you could pump the episodes out faster (might be something to look into, lol)...keep up the great work.

    Man, you've got their personalities pegged. I love seeing Shockwave putting him in his place.

    Awesome. My dad always wanted to do that, but became a doctor instead.

    I agree, comic Shockwave was the best.

    Yes! Shockwave's always been a favorite character of mine and I just love it when he's in roles where he's not just bein' used as the poorly aiming buffoon with a cool voice XD

    And he shows it so well :D

    And MP Starscream hooks up with Alternators Shockwave in THIS comic too. Although Shockwave seems to be the one wearing the pants in this comic...

    Very nice touch how his glowing eyes reflect off his hood. :thumb

    Shockwave and Starscream are such a great pairing. I'm actually surprised it took Marvel 70 or so issues to figure that out...

    Yeah, the comic portrayal was my favorite version of Shockwave too.



    Thanks guys. Hmm...maybe I can find some poor undergrads who need an xtra-curricular assignment to boost their grades...:ev:  So many scenes to shoot and so little time.

    Ah Shockwave. Total bad-ass and loving it. And it does seem that good thumping is the only thing that Starscream understands. Interesting to seem them plotting together against Megatron.

    Cool. I just learned something I didn't know before.:thumb
