Beg pardon? No one is drunk, if that's what you mean. Honestly this is kind of just because I had the idea and FE Scream was the perfect figure to use for it just because he looks so pretentious and can strike great poses. This doesn't reflect his future characterization. And we've already seen that Megatron is a bit... er... I mean, "testing" his fusion cannon on Wheeljack, singing "The Touch." Let's just say he's not all there. And anyway, I think it will probably become clear that there is no such thing as consistency in this comic. I have many ideas for different characters, sometimes contradictory. And I plan to follow as many paths as I can.
XD Now he's a badass pops who does act the role of the grumpy ol' dude but ain't lettin' his age be an excuse to tolerate BS :3
I feel I need to clear up the Starscream thing, as people are getting confused. A few minor spoilers for arcs way in the future, but meh. 1.) The Cthulhu plush is running from Starscream not because Starscream can scare a demon god, but because it's Plushthulhu, not the actual god. The actual Cthulhu is his god -- hence his obsession with the Necronomicon. He wants to summon the real Cthulhu. 2.) In case comic #1 wasn't a tip-off, this Megatron is kind of batshit insane. He's just a whole slew of badassery and Megatron-y goodness thrown into one awesome body. So he may be running from Starscream now, but who knows, maybe later he'll vaporize him Galvatron style. 3.) Starscream in this universe WILL NOT follow the usual pattern of "I, STARSCREAM, shall be the leader of the Decepticons!" etc.,etc. You'll begin to see what I mean in a few comics. And it may explain one reason Megatron might want to run away.
interestingly casual quality to your strip. Even the fact that you have your girlfriend just sitting in the background makes for a very surreal environment for your characters to interact in. I often find myself amused at how we TF comic artists make use of available landscapes, however this is the first I can think of where another person just "in the room" was caught on camera and none of the toys thought to take her hostage, or whatever else these little plastic critters are capable of. At any rate, what it does, is it forces the artist to really work the story, action, plot, and characterization, so as not to have the focus taken away from the intention. Considering that I did not notice a person in the room until T+C mentioned it, says a good bit about what you're accomplishing with limited scenery and a select few favorites from what i understand is a much larger collection. Can't wait to see more. -A.S.
Wow, thanks for the complements! And it's comic day! No Plushthulhu today, but he'll be back at some point, never fear. Instead, I give you this! #5
They will be returning. I was never a huge fan of their figures, but now I'm probably going to get Tuner Skids and Tuner Mudflap just for the comic. The Ice Cream Twins are not posable enough.
Glad that update went over so well! Now here's the deal: tomorrow night I'm going home for the weekend, and I have an idea of some characters that I'm bringing back to school with me, both for comics planned and unplanned. BUT! If there is any character or figure you have an interest in seeing me work in, comment here or PM me, and I'll let you know if I have the figure or at least an incarnation of the character that I can work with. I already have plans for the following: RTS Lugnut FE Starscream FE Bee FE Prime FE Cliff RID Cliff Both Wheeljacks (obviously =P) The Twins (hoping to get their Tuner versions soon, until then, Ice Cream Truck) RID Soundwave Plushthulhu Kup RID Megs Animated Lockdown Animated Blitzwing DOTM Shockwave DOTM Voyager OP Generations Scourge DOTM Specialist Ratchet If it's not on the list, it's free game. Just be warned that my collection is more limited than I would like. Chances are good though that if it's from ROTF to now I might have it. The more recent the better. =/ Donations are welcome! Ok, I'm kidding. But seriously.
Thank you!!! Updating the list of planned characters. Seriously, no one has any ideas? I mean I have some but it's always nice to have input from others!
Eh, there are no fangirls in my comic, so he's safe. But if there were fangirls he'd have a problem. Just a quick post for now, I'll try to get the next comic up tonight. But here's a little teaser of what you can expect soon...
