    :lol  I think we fans can relate to Megatron's hate of twisty ties.

    Feel our pain, Megatron. Feel our pain of having to deal with those awful twist-ties.

    :lol  :lol 

    I'd never thought of their relationship being like that but it just makes so much sense.

    :thumbs2:  Been thoroughly enjoying all of these since you started. They're a lot of fun, looking forward to the next one.

    Now I have an image of Megs walking Lugnut in my head. It's creeping me out a bit.

    This arc has an interesting backstory:

    Originally, the arc was going to see Lugnut not in his current character form, but as he was in animated, as a totally devoted minion of Megatron. The twist was going to be that when he went to punch Starscream in the head, Lugnut would describe what he knew Megatron would do. The striking Cons would point out that Megatron never would do those things...but that Lugnut's plans were brilliant.

    The end result would be that Lugnut would be elected head of the Decepticon Union, much to Megatron's annoyance.

    However, as I was planning ahead, I suddenly hit on the idea that Lugnut is Megatron's attack dog...so why not make him literally that? I then began to think about George of the Jungle and realized that I knew who Lugnut would be in the strip: He is Shep, George's big gray peanut loving poochie. The same is true of Lugnut: He is Megatron's big green and purple doggy.

    Suddenly, the arc got rewritten into what I think is a much funnier arc.

    At Grimlock_KIng25: That's Hearts of Plastic's motto: Destroying the Awesomeness of Characters since 2011


    Now, to everyone else, I have two more arcs planned, then I have nothing planned...yet. You see, I have other toys, and I would love to have them interact with the figures.

    Thus, I am going to leave it up to you...who do you want to see the cast interact with:

    -Pokemon

    -Kevin Smith's View Askew Characters

    -Star Wars

    -The DC Universe

    Let me know.

    I did it with my Lugnut as well, and people LOVED me for that.

    TRANSCRIPT

    Lugnut: LUGNUT SMASH!
    Megatron: LUGNUT! NO SMASH! NO! SMASH BAD. SMASH VERY BAD.
    Lugnut: LUGNUT SORRY...
    Megatron: And so, another Decepticon learns his lesson.
    Lugnut: Lugnut not really sorry...

    And now, we return to your regularly scheduled programming.

    They all sound like they'd have a ton of potential, but I'd love to see how the Askewniverse crossover would go.
