    Hmm, you may want to rethink that... :D :D :D 


    Looks like the backstory, as Starscream recalls it, is pretty similar to most TF backstories... Before everything went Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie.

    uhm, wow fella...thanks for reading and all the praise but calm down a bit, lol. Not here for "competing" so I'd never say my comic is above ANYONE else's be it high production, expensive collection-based strips or ones shot with a cell phone and all knock-offs. It's not about the way it looks, it's about how the content of it makes you feel...honestly, a lot of us could make awesome images with big money cameras and over clocked computers but if there's no depth or draw to the story, all you have is pretty pictures.

    Not shooting you down at all tho cause I appreciate you reading the story, but I'm not here for my comic to be "better" than anyone's. All that said keep reading and enjoy, lol

    Thanks Fez, I wanted his intro/reveal to be quick and to build him as a monster quickly (someone on par with Lockdown's sadistic mind)...hope it came across that way!

    I'll make sure not to stuff myself on popcorn balls to the point that I can't eat Christmas dinner, lol


    I think SS is gonna be one of your favorites here, lol. And that hero complex examination is mos def something fun to get into (thanks for the inspiration, lol).

    Welcome back Pun! I am borrowing from you as well in terms of breaking my updates down into smaller pieces (for the time being at least, lol)

    Spoiler alert (tho this might be pretty obvious), Prime is not certain of anything right now other than being drawn to SS and wanting to crack open his spark chamber...thing is, he doesn't even really know why.


    LOLOLOLOL, I think MOST of us that have been at this for a while are/have overlap...even with all the original content/backstory/etc. we create there's still that part of us that wants some of the actual TF canon to be there.

    ANOTHER spoiler alert, SS is gonna be a VERY informative source of backstory and whatnot...like Iron Hide was in filling Ratchet in on things.



    I had an update ALMOST ready to go before Christmas day but got too much to finish up this afternoon with the family and whatnot so I probably won't get it posted until tomorrow evening or Monday, just check back in and see...and as always

    Thanks for reading, tell a friend, and have a safe and blessed Christmas (for all who celebrate it...if not, uh, happy weekend, lol)

    Thanks for stopping by T.E., glad you've enjoyed the story so far. I got real slack with updating the last part of this year so you're coming in at a good time cause I REALLY plan on dropping updates very frequently for the next couple months or so!

    Ellamin, don't sweat it, lol...I just don't want ANYONE to think I'm here competing because I think I say things myself at times that come across that way and it's mos def not the case. Keep reading tho and I hope you continue to enjoy...lots of stuff coming over the next few weeks!

    Thanks TC and since I was up I went on and posted a small...


    UPDATE

    1. Just a very quick recap, Daniel and his crew were last seen being "held as guests" by Drift and some unknown entity named Proxy. Since I'd already done a "wandering around in the dark" scene with these guys I didn't wanna waste time with showing them straggling from where there were last time we saw them, to where they are now. Hope the first couple panels sort of clear that up. (uh, yeah I am wayyyy too critical about this, lmbo)

    2. I'm getting into physical sets that have a more realistic feel because it takes less time in the editing and allows for more in-camera lighting control. Shouts out to Shane, Starfire, and Pol just to name a few for the inspiration to push more into complex physical sets!

    3. I broke this up and left it as an attempt at a Christmas cliff hanger, lol. When you see the rest of the scene in the next update, you'll probably look at me like I'm crazy, lol

    Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

    Nothing wrong with cliffhangers. :D 

    Good to see the discussion hinting back at the "what are we?" issue. I'm sure that'll get resolved when the time is right.

    So uh, don't get used to this, but here's yet another...

    1. The main thing that's pushing these constant updates is the mixture of how little I posted over the last 5-6 months combined with the fact that I normally would have posted the past 4 or 5 updates as just one big one. Sort of like the 40-50+ panel updates I was doing earlier in the year. Again, I gotta shout out Pun-3x and how he keeps his updates in very manageable bite size pieces. (That's not to say I won't be throwing any 7 course meals at you tho...

    2. Actually, there is one coming up that I really don't think I can break into small pieces so after another one or two small ones, it may be a decent amount of time before said update gets posted. Guess you just gotta stay tuned, lol.

    3. Is it just me, or do the funnies threads seem busier than usual for this time of year? The holiday seasons seem like they actually bring a drought right until around the new year, but maybe it's just my perception.

    4. Thanks for reading, check back soon and tell a friend!

    Suspense rises!

    And Dan-O goes for a nice stroll around the place that's infected with some vile slumbering intelligence. Well, that's not going to go badly at all. :D

    I'm STILL stuffed from Christmas popcorn balls, lol

    Which is better/worse...a cliffhanger or a Cliff Jumper? :lolol  (uh, sorry, I amuse myself way too easily sometimes, lol)

    Resolution coming on that one sooner than laterer...or so we think. Mwua haa haa haaa (my evil laugh is TERRIBLE)

    Daniel is actually going to get some popcorn! No danger in that right, lol. I really could use some mechanical chain bases but for as big as my sets are getting, I'd be spending more on them then I do on TF's themselves, smh.

    So, I looked at the last update date on my sig and panicked because I said I wasn't gonna let another whole month go by without SOME kind of update...but then I realized the last update date on the sig is WRONG...so yea for me, lol.

    I have a ton of shots that are waiting to run thru post production for the next update, but I have not had much time since the holidays. Gonna try to at least commit to knocking out 1 or 2 shoots a day until the next update is ready. Hopefully that will be before February shows up cause by then I WILL be past that figment of my imagination that's called regular updating, lmbo.

    1. not a bunch of my usual babbling here, I'll just say that this is seriously broken up and far shorter than what I wanted to post but I REALLY wanted to stick to my one month updating timeline. The good thing is that ALL the shots for both of the events that are going on here are already done (just gotta get the durn editing done, smh)

    2. more to come...uh, whenever, lol

    3. thanks for reading and tell a friend

    pointless note here (cause it's more for me than anyone else, lol)

    Changed the date on my sig to the most recent update so if I miss my Update deadline of at least once a month, you all can throw popcorn at me (preferably lightly salted/buttered please)! :lol

    Darn it, I'm gonna miss my Monthly update! :cry :mad 

    Well since I won't have an update anytime soon, I'll post a shot I did over in one of the other sections here on the boards. It's actually going to be a series called "When Primes Attack"...and I said a SERIES, not a comic so don't go thinking this is a new story, lol

    Although there COULD be some foreshadowing here...but NOT for Transforming the Unknown (or could it be???) I really should just shut up and post the pic, huh...

    [​IMG]


    On another note, the next update for the story IS in post production...this stupid real life thing has just been taking way too much time from the priority of my TF, plastic crack addiction, lmbo
