    Hello everyone!

    The name's John I wanted to share my fan project: The Glacialbots - Profile Pages

    Description

    Story, characters, and designs based on the Transformers Third Party Company: FansProject
    Series: Retro-Future
    Toys: Glacialbots / Glacialord
    Faction: Soleron

    Comments
    This is my very first attempt to make a Dreamwave, G1 Transformers/More Than Meets The Eye style character profile page.
    I'm a huge fan of the toys since they represent G1 style so well and wanted to make a fan profile page for them. I used existing official canon content from the toys and added new things to his profile to expand his potential character lore. With his designs I wanted to capture the personality of the toy and character.
    The company FansProject has done an amazing job creating the toys to seem like they were lost or forgotten G1, Scramble City, combiner style toys. I wanted to show my tribute and gratitude to them for creating and making such lovable toys, thus why I made this as a fan!
    One of my other inspirations was reading the wonderful exclusive "The Glacialord Story" Sticker Book Series: Volume 1, which had a lot of content to draw inspiration from.

    Note: The Solerons, could ride their prehistoric ice age robotic alternate modes called "Beast Rider" mode, here is an art piece I did to see what it looks like:

    Feel welcome to give me feedback! I'd like to like what you think!

    ( assuming here, so don't mind me )
    Hey, could you post the full images instead of the thumbnails. While I can see a bit of the images, I can't seem to read the bios. I like what I see so far though. I remember seeing the figures once in the 3rd prty thread and thought it was an awesome idea.

    Tbh I really like to see more 3rd party (or even Hasbro themselves) to make more of these G1 inspired toys. Other than that I love thsese profiles, good job!

    Nice work! I really like your imagination with the bios. But I would indent the paragraphs, or put spaces in between them, to make the bios easier to read.

    That's great to hear, I'm the same! Hmmm well these aren't my OC's, they are based on the third party company "FansProject" toys but mainly the art, layout, and some of the written bio parts added in with the original conent is all done by me!
    As for your question, I do have plans in the future to create more, so keep following me, thank you!

    Hey cirrusstratus1, thank you kindly! I understand what you mean, this is my very first time creating character bios/profiles and I just wanted to make sure all of the written work fitted in, however I really do appreciate the constructive feedback and I'll definitely take it all on board to improve! Thanks again!

    I'm surprised that people aren't aware of Glacialord. Here it's for anyone wanting to compare john's profiles to the real deal.

    That's what I was thinking, which is why I didn't think the need to add a link, especially on this website, everyone knows a lot and follows a lot about Transformers in general. I really appreciate you helping out with adding a link for the toys!
