    Also note in the 3rd pic, his/her alt Vehicle mode.
    I do know it uses the bone structure of the "Heavy/Big Bots", like Monsoon, Bulkhead, etc.

    Still cant find who it is though.

    It could be an early version of Astraea or of that alternate Astraea skin that was seen but never in-game.

    Also, could you compress and upload all character and weapon models and textures? I'm missing some high quality LoDs and weapon models. That and done textures are hideously lowres it seems.

    You also mentioned bumpmaps I think, which I am lacking.


    Oh, and If you can, mind explaining the system used for applying colors to white textures? I've been using photoshop to color textures so far, but certain ones like Sparkscape are rather difficult.

    Hrm, I thought that as well at first, BUT: look at this pic.

    So far he's the only Bot to have that type of light on his body.
    But the model is a Decepticon, so it cant be Ironhide.

    But Astreas Vehicle Mode Bones, Skin Renderer, and physics Renderer fit just right, except for certain Pivot points that rotate some model parts all wrong.

    But yeah, Astreas Alternate Alt Alt:)  seems to be right

    The only way to get them to look exactly(and/or Better) like in the game, is to use the models own MAT2 Shader or the PS2 Shader.

    Without using the shaders, the textures will be mostly "White", since there is no Shader data to control the alphas,bumpmaps,opacity, etc.

    You have to code your own shader in 3dsMax or similar shader program. its a PITA, and i hate coding:) 

    BTW, PM'ed ya.

    Can't you make your own shaders in Photoshop like normal?

    Textures =/= Shaders

    Hey guys, idk if you want to use this, but I made a forum a while ago hoping that some kind of offline version could be made.
    Transformers Universe Sparks

    I know anything about game programing but I can at least help with the forum.

    I have a query, were you able to extract the particles and sound effects from the game?

    (I'm only a beginner with modelling, coding and game designing so i'm not sure how it works, so i'm sorry if my question sounded a little silly to you)

    If you need my help i can do some of the texturing part using photoshop.

    Particles = Yes.
    Sounds/SoundEffects = Yes.
    Models, Animations, Transformations, Scripts, Lights, etc... = Yes.

    I'm actually done with it all as a single player mode, Networking is a bit more tricky, but it's there too.

    Able to spawn enemies, trigger events, breakables, list goes on and on.

    Weapons effects was the last thing I was working on, before I stopped. Hit Marking, Life Bars is there, but haven't done much on this in a while.

    No one helped get the Un-Released Bots, so I've been losing interest.

    At this point i've moved on to other more Difficult projects, so things are progress slower than before.

    Thanks for offering to help with Texturing, but all the textures are complete and original. Don't give up on learning and improving your skills, it takes time and practice.

    Here's a remake of ClearCut vehicle mode. He's an Un-Released AutoBot.

    Obviously not finished but VERY accurate to the original in shape and size.

    A TFU game player "Vlada" really wanted released, but it never happened. So remade my own.

    made in Max about 30 mins, low res, not finished, no lighting, no bumpmaps, just partial model and texture.

    Might need 1-2 hours of work and some custom animations using a RigB skeleton from the game. Bot mode will be a lot harder to remake tho.

    Some fellow TFU Players like Tyrellso and FreshChips have a lot of information about unreleased TFU goods. Maybe that could be of help?
    TFU: Unreleased goods. - Imgur

    There's more i think. I'll try to get some links tonight. And maybe with some help you could add new community created characters? If that's not a very big workload.

    And Vlada suggested that the character models must be changed a bit if the game goes multiplayer to avoid copyright issues.

    Ask those TFU users to help, please.
    I have tons of videos and images of the unreleased bots, what i need is people to help with the game files they have or had installed.

    I think only the rare players who actually had the Bots appear on their screens would have access to those files.

    Meaning: players who modded the game files back then, were able to get and view those Bots, only because when they modded the game files, they tricked the cdn.*servers to stream the Unity3d/CAB_**** files to their PCs.

    I only know 3 users who actually had some of them, user "Gratis" being the most successful, but according to him he lost it all after a HDD reformat.

    I've asked a few users to Recover their game files using Data Recovery Software(which it can recover EVEN if you formatted), but nobody replied.

    As far as Multiplayer goes, I didn't get involved in that aspect because of all the Copyright bs, this is just a Fan Based learning experience.
    Thanks

    Hey could you...maybe instruct me on where i could find those files you need? I still have retained some files from TFU if that would be of any help. But i haven't modded my game or anything so....yeah...I might not have them according to what you said.

    (NVM its just client data, nothing useful here or maybe i haven't navigated all files)

    Hey Galactus,

    It depends what version of the game files you have.

    You might have an older file system that contains files we currently dont.

    Uploade them somewhere, i'll take a look at them and tell ya either way.

    Never hurts to try, Thanks man
