    People posting before should remember but here are the basics.

    1. Please keep your comics to one thread.

    2. Try to keep the size of the pic as to not stretch the screen.

    3. Try to keep harsh language to a minimum. I’m not going to come down on you for a couple of “bad words” here and there but try to keep it PG-13 at lest.

    4. Sexuality, again keep it PG-13. Flirting type stuff is fine but if I see toys getting freaky we have a problem.

    5. All other board rules apply. If you can’t do it in the other forums (like politics) you can’t do it here.

    KA had a good for idea for a Who’s Who in FFEO thread and once all the ToC links are out of whack KA and I got to talking and came up with an idea for a combined Who’s Who/ ToC so here it is.

    Fell free to use KA’s post below as an example and include a link back to your comic thread to help other reads to find your stuff. This should be a lot more interesting and personal than a boring list of names and links.

    Also please try and keep unnecessary posting to a minimum in this thread to keep it less cluttered.

    Feel free to PM with any questions.

    FFEO's Who's Who?

    here's my entry:

    name: KA (formerly kae_ae)

    age/sex/status: 31, male, single

    occupation/background: designer

    before making your own funny you were reading: springer's funnies at TFX, affejungen's at AOL (SW heavy) and them funny robots. i was also reading crazomatic TF babies (a spoof of muppet babies) at lexicon. oh, and insecticomics (haha!)

    what you find funny: mel brook and similar spoofs, akira toriyama, adam sandler (no, really), harold ramis' stuff (especially if there's bill murray), old school britcoms - like allo allo, canada - you guys ever heard of four on the floor?, oh, and scrubs!

    strips done: a buncha random one shots before doing the prime family, and energon rookies. also, short runs of seeker life (seekers as gansta wannabees) and seeker high (seeker sophomoric hijinks). also, a very much short lived existentialist kid and talking stuffed jaguar (a CnH spoof)

    personal fave/most proud of funny: shockwave for president! - i lost these when my old HD crashed :( 

    FFEO faves: shane's and sheba stuff. i like megamoonman's too but i think he's a big meanie (haha! :p ... kidding. no, really!)

    i think buzz covered it but i'd just like to emphasize that it doesnt have to be a fixed format. feel free to omit/add entries which you think suits you better. as long as theyre not too long i guess.

    have fun guys!

    Name: Sol_Fury (just call me Sol)

    Occupation: Content Guy, both on here and at work.

    Before making your own funny you were reading: Teletran's Funnies (from the Iacon Harbor days), TFR (back when it was on TFGen3 and posted in the Toyark here later on before it got its own forum), Insecticomics, The Napventures, and later, KA's funnies.

    Strips Done: 5002 News. 34 posted, up to 36 now done, and a couple more in the works, with ideas enough to make it to 50.

    Most Proud Of: Tough question, I'd never post a funny I wasn't happy with. I'm particularly fond of how "Upgrade" and "Behind Enemy Lines" came out, though.

    Coming Soon: A "sequel" to "The Ballad of Ultra Magnus", starring RiD Magnus, Cybertron Megatron decides to recruit some new soldiers, a small "series" I'm calling "the scenes you never saw", and who knows, perhaps my Brave robots will even finally get to make a cameo appearance!

    FFEO faves: I've got a good deal of respect for what everyone on here posts, even if I don't show it sometimes. Mad props to Buzzbeak who's inspired me and countless others to try their hands at TF Funnies with the original FFEO threads and later this forum, to KA, to Redline, to Shane, Lord Megatron, Cobalt Agent, UltimateOptimus, The621, CdnShockwave, Eric, alphie, Cataclizm1 and last but not least Sheba.
    You're all great guys and it's an honour to trade jokes with you all, and everyone else who I've forgotten to mention here.

    Keep up the funny!

    Name: MegaMoonMan

    Age/sex/status: 32, male, single (but damn near engaged)

    Occupation/background: IT Professional

    Before making your own funny you were reading: Just Buzzbeak's, seriously. I never really knew people were doing it until I became a member here. I guess the funny pages in the paper counts.

    What you find funny: Jerky Boys, Family Guy, some of the stuff on Adult Swim gives me a chuckle. Anything stupid with an attitude usually works.

    Strips done: "TransF***ers" - see my sig for the link, that and various silly pics here and there.

    Personal fave/most proud of funny: I really think the Lil' Unicron ones are the best.

    FFEO faves: Buzzbeak for inspiration. I really don't read other people's comics very often, I try to keep my ideas original and reading other people's stuff may lead to copycat-ism on my part. Gotta be original!

    Advice for others: First and foremost, I try and make my comics so even people who don't know the first thing about TFs can laugh. If your bro who hates TFs thinks it's a good joke, you have a winner.

    Secondly, all the greatest graphics in the world won't save a joke that isn't funny, so start there. Get a funny idea, work it through on paper, think out the scenes, poses, and camera angles. You'd be surprised how much funnier a joke can get with some planning and thought. I always try and have a punchline too, make that last shot a killer. Sometimes I'll think of one great scene, and write a whole comic around it.

    I'll apologize right now for not making TransF***ers on a regular basis - lack of time and good ideas. Quality over quantity!

    P.S. I'm apparently at war with Cobalt Agent.

    Name: Lord Megatron

    Reason for name: I didn't feel like using my other SN, and the other variants of Megatron were taken.

    My comic: <a href="http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=91408" target="_blank"> Lord Megatron's Comickery</a>. Largely one-shots, I do occasional PSA's and would be continuing my Circle of Evil miniseries if my camera worked.

    About me: 17, male, single. Currently jobless.

    How it started: I saw beer bottles in the recycling can, and thought of Unicron being passed out drunk. It went from there.

    FFEO regulary read comics: Shane's comics, Jetplauge's Funny Formers, Cobalt Agent's comics, 5002 News, stuff that is fairly regularly updated.

    Faves: Really, I don't think I've seen a comic here that I actually hated. They're all good. One made me feel pity, but that's about it.

    age/sex/status: 24/m/Single

    occupation/background: UPS Unloader (no, I don't drive to your house, I just put your packages into the system)

    before making your own funny you were reading: Most of the funnies here. :) 

    what you find funny: Spontaneous silliness, politically incorrect jokes, "clean" jokes can be good too, drunken idiots, people who point out common sense in order to make fun of someone else ("well, what did you THINK would happen if you doused yourself in gasoline and lit a cigarette?" for example)

    strips done: Renidragon's Rediculous Randomness. The alliteration was actually thought through... not just the R's, but the d's in the middle of the words, too.

    personal fave/most proud of funny: It doesn't have a name, but the "Dead-Cast" one I did.

    FFEO faves: Shane's, Megamoonman's, Sol's, and, of course, Buzzbeak's. I'm forgetting a few, I'm sure.

    here's my entry:

    name: Shane Anderson (my real name... I was either too lazy or too new to the internet to pick a cool screen name back when I joined the boards!)

    age/sex/status: 37, male, married with 4 year old daughter

    occupation/background: graphic designer. I also spent about eight years in signmaking
    before making your own funny you were reading: Them Funny Robots, Superdeformers.

    what you find funny: My favorite non-TF funnies (which no doubt had an influence on my sense of humor) are Peanuts, Dilbert, Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side. When it comes to TV, I know these guys are way too irreverant, but Monty Python’s Flying Circus just cracks me up. Some of their movies are ok, but some of them just get gross (I’m looking at you Meaning of Life!!!). I like the Three Stooges, the Little Rascals and old radio comedy like Fibber McGee and Molly and Jack Benny. And I love Looney Tunes, though I’ve seen them all too many times to count! For my fellow Doctor Who fans, “The Gunfighters” has to be the funniest story ever. Also fond of "Last of the Summer Wine", "Are you Being Served" and "Keeping Up Appearances"

    strips done: I have three regular features I work on: the Little Ops (Legends of Cybertron Optimus, McDonalds Armada Optimus and Spychanger RID Optimus getting into mischief), Cooking with Silverbolt (Silverbolt as a crazy chef) and the “Chip Saga” which features Megatron Megabolt as a dense, chip-obsessed bot wandering through life and generally making enemies and getting himself killed. I do lots of other one-shot comics as the ideas hit me. Bludgeon’s been the star of a few, and BMac Blackarachnia and Silverbolt have been in a few domestic situations.

    There's also "Obsidian's Lament", a more dramatic thread exploring the post-Beast Machines world of Cybertron.

    personal fave/most proud of funny: Hard to say. “There is no right answer”, “A light snack” and the first “Cooking with Silverbolt” are some that I think turned out well. I'm also pretty proud of how "Obsidian's Lament" turned out. I've always wanted to see someone pick up where Beast Machines left off and run with it, so I finally did it myself.

    FFEO faves: Cataclizm1, KA, Sheba, Renidragon, Sol Fury, Eric, Cobalt Agent and Buzzbeak are among my favorites. Everyone else makes me laugh too, so don’t feel bad if I haven’t mentioned you. I love the effort everyone puts into their funnies!

    Here's my comic thread: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=91364

    Here's my post-Beast Machines story thread: Obsidian's Lament and other post-Beast Machines stories - Page 7 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards

    what you find funny: Fart jokes...never gets tired. Monty Python, Family Guy, Simpsons (yeah they still got it....sorta.), SCTV, oh wait this isn't about tv shows is it?

    strips done: I strip for no one....except myself in the mirror...if it doesn't shatter to pieces that is.

    word on the holy trinity of comic strips: CnH, far side and peanuts. at least 2 of em ive done tributes to. the far side, not yet. ive had this idea along the lines of 'ultra magnus' life of not being able to deal with it now' but it has yet to gel visually.

    haha, i like the whole silverbolt w/ spoon gag but i really like that early one you did spoofing the DW g1 comic :) 

    also, totally forgot abt superdeformers, hehe.

    35, male, single

    Occupation/Background:
    Graphic/Multimedia Designer, 3D artist

    What inspires your humor:
    Let's see (in no particular order)... TF Funnies, South Park, Family Guy, Dilbert, Calvin & Hobbes, The Far Side, Robotman, Shortpacked, Three Stooges, The Little Rascals, Simpsons, Futurama, Insecticons, Perry Bible Fellowship, Laurel & Hardy, Rubes, Conan O'Brian, John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Robin Williams, Bill Cosby, and much, much more.

    Strips done:
    I am a bit new at this that is why I only have five completed. I do have one comic shot that needs dialog but I have a few new ideas that I want to put up first.

    Personal fave/Most proud of funny:
    I like the Demolishor wearing the Clark Kent wig and glasses as a disguise.

    FFEO faves:
    I like everybody's photocomics but some of my favs are:
    Them Funny Robots, Shane's comics, CdnShockwave's Insanity 2.0, Renidragon's Rediculous Randomness, TransF***ers, 5002 News, Cataclizm1's Comedy Explosion!!! & Bad 'Bots II.

    About P for Photocomics:
    I had thought about doing a photocomic for some time but I wanted a unique name and one that isn't tied directly to one particular toy line. I modeled the name after "V for Vendetta" and that the letter "p" uses a hard sound but uses the soft "p" sound in "photo"
