Nice update! There were touching moments of Tigris, funny moments of Fatty Ops, and some worrisome moments because of Ravage's condition.. Hope he pulls through! >_< I so loved the bonus panel!
She sure was bein' put to place, and thoughtfulness on the scale stuff and all that. at showin' that Sixshot's not above fat jokes
Heh, I didn't expect the bonus strip to be the most popular part of this update, considering I'd almost turned the camera off when I noticed I'd placed Sixshot right next to "normal" nemesis, and it dawned on me that Sixshot never has seen Nemesis without his drones attached. So one quickly thought out joke and one picture later... Thanks for all the praise guys! I only intended to have this comic thread to be an outlet for stupid ideas that I had involving just my TF's, like the first one where Prime and Megs are playing Battleship. Howling and Tigris were never intended to be purchases of mine even up to the third comic (which for those of you who frogot, was the one right before I revealed I'd gotten Howling in the fourth comic. It was a quick decision to get her, and it was a good one at that!). The next update will probably be this weekend, and let's just say you won't see what's coming unless you know why I think Alt. Battle Ravage is an awesome figure (and no, it's not the cat head, even though it was 50% the reason why I tracked him down on eBay Canada complete)
Honestly, I'm the guy who actually knows why you love Alt. Battle Ravage so much (in order to keep anyone from figuring out the plot too soon, I'll keep my mouth shut about it), and even I can't figure it out. Needless to say, though, I'm excited as Ironhide at a firearms convention!
Ah, a happy, sentimental ending. Nice twist on the whole "revival scene" bit, Burnout. However, there is something slightly non-Transformers related that Battle Ravage's reboot panel jogged my memory about. I'll PM you about it.
Two new bios coming up in a bit, one of which will have more than just info about the character if you read in between the lines...
-Profile: The Second Shinki that has entered the collection of The Owner, this time a cat to go with Howling's dog motif. Her happiness of being in the possession of The Owner is on par with, if not surpassing, any other toy's pleasure of being in it as her previous life was in a word: slavery. Under torture and abuse from the inter-multiversal black arms dealer known only as Sideways, she was forced to perform actions she will not speak of to this day. She finally broke free from Sideways' chains when even under his direct control, she would not kill Battle Ravage after involuntarily damaging him to the point of him entering the deepest stasis lock ever known. After meeting up with some of the other toys, who understood her tragic past, she was able to bring Battle Ravage back through singing the song Memory, which was special to both her and Battle Ravage (with Animated Soundwave's help). Today she sees each day as better then the last, and displays a cheerful attitude to life, although like Howling she will resort to extreme violence if pissed off enough, only she uses claws and swords rather then a giant gun and fists. She is also a more advanced Shinki then Howling, as she is taller then Howling and has more support items. -Temperament: Optimistic, almost care-free attitude. She can get sarcastic here and there, and is prone to deep periods of depressed brooding because of the dark history of her previous life. -Relations: Howling (fellow Busou Shinki), Battle Ravage (very close friend) -Trivia: Because of her abuse at the hands of Sideways, Tigris is more prone to making animal noises then Howling is. -Profile: Erector is a product of the 'customization' program which The Owner subjects certain toys he wishes to alter in programing, appearance, or both. In Erector's case, it's both. Originally a bloodthirsty Decepticon known as Mudflap, The Owner reprogrammed him into a new version of the Micromaster Erector for the Universe line, along with some added paint details. While his A.I. is that of a new rookie, The Owner managed to purge the combat protocols of Mudflap of any evil traces and gave them to Erector. So now while Erector has the mind and experience of a rookie, his fighting skills are far more advanced then one would suggest. This also leaves Erector oblivious to the sheer power he has, which leaves all the other toys nervous around him when he starts fighting like Chuck Norris on steroids. Yet, even though the leaders of The Owner's collection are aware of Erector's hidden past, they keep it a secret from Erector, the only clue left to it is the lone Movie Decepticon symbol on the cane cab of Erector's left arm... -Temperament: Naive, hasty, pretty much your standard rookie mentality. He also doesn't understand why some people think his name is funny, but he will threaten you if you abuse the joke to long, and after that he'll attack, and next thing you know, it's like Chuck Norris is breaking your legs off -Relations: Decepticon Dropshot (Universe micromaster homage), Nemesis Prime and Burnout (the two customs before Erector) -Trivia: Erector was made from Movie Mudflap since the latter was colored like (and looks a lot like in vehicle mode) G1 micromaster Erector, but the name 'Mudflap' was also intended for another custom made by The Owner, long before Movie Mudflap came along, so that helped fuel the cause for name change. And unknowingly to all the toys in The Owner's collection, the project The Owner calls "Project: Decepticon Mudflap" has already begun, starting when he came back today around noon from a trip to the local Target, the base figure now standing right next to the keyboard as he types these very words...
Been kinda slow around here lately, I honestly had been hoping for more of a feedback on the "Eye of the Tigris" conclusion, but oh well, at least some people liked it, and at least I could please some people. Now, my comic in on the third page, and that's unacceptable. Solution? UPDATE! A Puzzle With Missing Pieces
