    This is the thread for Transformers: Chronicles Stop Motion Series. See update below for more info on its rebranding.

    Series Synopsis:
    Many years before leaving the surface of Cybertron to pursue a new source of energy, the valiant Autobots, a small group of peace-loving robots, warred with the power hungry Decepticons over their planet’s remaining energy and resources. They eventually brought their struggle 4 million years into the future on the planet Earth. These are their stories previously missing from their chronology.
    As you can perhaps tell, I've improved upon my stop motion skills quite a bit, upgrading to full 1080p with better FPS. It looks a little Terminator 1 esque in movement (unintentionally), but I kind of like it.

    Credit to TFCog for the sound effects.

    UPDATE: After some thinking after the huge hiatus I've had due to school stuff, I've decided to focus less on a linear based story and more of a chronicle-style group of stories to fill in the gaps of the G1 cartoon universe, in a sort of rebranding. It may be a bit retcon-like (which some probably wouldn't like), but I think it's easy and cooler to make some stories out of the things missing, rather than try and make my own good storyline (which is very hard to do well). Hopefully expect a teaser for not necessarily the first episode (maybe or maybe not) as an example. I may end up using the large amount of footage I took for the first episode or not, depending on how it looks compared to what I will film in the Christmas holidays, but I'll likely upload it as an example without voices anyway. The shots I've been taking lately have been a lot sharper and will help me to shoot for a new height.

    Expect hopefully good things to come, but no guarantees. I will try to use these holidays to the best of my advantage to make Transformers Chronicles a success.

    Scrapped footage #1:

    *and if I could get the thread name changed, that would be sweet (but not too important)*

    Huge update with rebranding and 2 videos of aforementioned scrapped footage. Hoping to start writing Episode 1 in this holiday break (maybe even with a Christmas special kind of theme).

    Also, if anyone could give me some ways to either improve the quality or viewing of my videos it would be widely appreciated.

    Hey, I see Bumblebee is in there. I could try for him if you wish. What type of voice do you want for him?

    Those were for a previously more linear storyline that I decided to scrap, so he may be in episodes less than this. However, it would be a more G1 cartoonish Bumblebee if he does appear. I will let you know if I need it. :)

    Set construction has started! I don't have much to work with, but I'm giving it a shot.

    Sounds promising. :)  Are you planning on doing a story that tells of the beginning of the Maximals and Predacons from BW in your series?

    At the moment probably not, as I'm just filling in some of the G1 cartoon gaps, and because I only have Rattrap and Waspinator, but I might throw something in.
