for a good long while now, ive been working on a very long, and somewhat deep fanfic, covering 3 generations of transformers, starting with my own retelling of the origion story, to my own gijoe tf crossover, to the far far distant future, and a final epic battle.

included are some new takes on classic characters, as well as entirely new characters, including new leaders.

just some names out there:

bots: optimus prime
rodimus prime.
beryl prime

cons:
megatron
predicon galvatron
N.E.O. Megatron
Rat
Dryad Nexus.

anyway, i had started to post some old art work, before the forum crash, but no time like the present to get going.

once i have art work for every of my 3 generations, then ill start posting the story chapters. i was hopeing to do it as a web comic, but when i say this is long, i mean it. so it would take forever.

so for now, just art, then text chapters.

aslo just a note, all my tf designs have working transformation schematics.

megatrons first mode is a scifi looking rifle, and his second form as N.E.O Megatron, is a giant surface to air gunnery platform, with interchangable weapons, lazer cannon, missle launcher, and gatling gun

anyway to get things started, heres just a couple pics. ill be coloring these tommorow, as well as adding a couple more.

News Credits: 18 · by **Immortal Starscream** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 7:07 pm

heres some more

this top one wideload, is based of the classic minicon by the same name, and not part of my storyline.

notice that magnus and optimus are 2 diffrent robots? lol

magnus came to earth, not to rescue the missing autobots, but on a personal vendetta. he was chasing shockwave across the galaxy

shockwave came to earth looking for the fabled armor of primus.

magnus end up finding the armor of primus, just as he is destroyed. he fuzes with it, and is brought back to life as ultra magnus . who is also, a compleatly diffrent design.

Dude, after you ink and color that Starscream, can I throw him in a sig?

I think I'm in love!

If you do this much of a badass job on Skyfire you are officially my hero.

One question, did you just forget Sludge, or is he not part of the Dinobots?

News Credits: 18 · by **Immortal Starscream** » Tue Feb 06, 2007 10:38 pm

no sludge comes in in the 3rd generation. as well as a few other new ones.

can you say, planet of the dinobots

as for starscream,, idk. i waskinda thinking of doing so for myself. however i will reveal this little spoiler.

thats starscream from the first era,
second era starscream is pretender starscream aka "baron darkstar"

third era starscream is when hes revealed to be immortal, his body has become mostly energy, and transformed into a pheonix, calling himself the dark primus.

Alritey, that's fine.

I can't wait to see more art though :grin:

News Credits: 18 · by **Immortal Starscream** » Wed Feb 07, 2007 2:09 am

only a small update today, i spent most of the day sick in bed.

remade my decepticon logo.
and finished the cassettes.

anyway, with the finished picture comes the bio

Decepticon Minicons.

before the time of the great war, these three mysterious diminutive robots came to Cybertron in an escape pod from another world. It was obvious that they were designed for military applications, however their memory had been wiped.

Being a new undiscovered micro technology, many different Cybertronians hounded them, in hopes of capture and study. It was then they stumbled upon the remains of Soundwave, who had been the Quintesson supercomputer robot. The trio restored Soundwave, who took them in and took care of them, defending them against other cybertronians.

When Soundwave joined Megatrons following, the minicons followed him. They have no care for conquest, or Megatrons grand plan, for they remain loyal to Soundwave only. Though, they get an odd satisfaction in being useful in military endeavors.

Rumble
"So whos gonna take a tumble, dished out by the Rumble?"
Function: Demolition
Rumble is fairly simple minded. He likes to make noise, and lots of it. He can come off as loudmouthed and annoying to other Decepticons, however he can back up his talk with his sonic piledrivers. Rumbles arms transform into them, and they are capable of sending sonic shockwaves through the ground, flooring oponents, and crumbleing small structures. When interfaced with Soundwave's Sonic disrupter cannon, he can create devistation earthquaques.

Lazerbeak:
"Squaaaaawk"
Function: Espionage
Lazerbeak is small, and incredibly fast. Whats more, is he can cloak himself from almost ever form of detection, except sight. However, his small size and ability to get into small places, is what makes him so dangerous. He can sneak into even the most tightly secured areas, and scan every spectrum there is, and record it permanantly to memory. He can then interface with Soundwave, so that Megatron and the Decepticons can learn what Lazerbeak knows.

Ravage:
".....die.."
Function: Assasination.
Ravage seldom speaks. infact most that know him thinks he is incapable. Ravage is the most brutal, and cold of the Minicon trio. Like Lazerbeak, Ravage is able to avoid most scanners, and is able to sneak into highly guarded and secure areas, but for an entirely diffrent purpose. Ravage exists only to seek out a target, and annialate it utterly, without mercy or pity. Ravage is put at odds with himself however, when he is made the personal guardian of Rathamon.

now even though his pic isnt finished yet, since i did the casstetts, only fair i give a little about soundwave.

Soundwave
"I seek only your harmonious oblivion"
Function: Decepticon General
Soundwave is logical and emotionless, except when it comes to music. For music is part of his very core, and one of the only things that can touch his cold spark. One of the oldest robots on Cybertron, Soundwave was created as sort of a master control system for the Quintesson slave drivers.
he was used to pipe music all accross Cybertron, but only to hide his true ability. Soundwave could remote access any CPU within 50 quads of himself, or anything connected to him. When the Quintessons were driven off the planet in the great revolution, soundwave was dismantled and left for scrap, untill the alien Minicons found and restored him.

However, Soundwave cannot turn off his "Psychic" powers, and as strife grew on Cybertron, the warring chaotic minds began to cause him great pain. Megatron discoverd Soundwave and the minicons, trying to hide away in seclusion, and promised Soundwave a future were all Cybertronians would be one, under one rule. And so, soundwave joined megatron, in hopes of finaly shutting the noise out of his head once and for all.

soundwaves psycic powers allow Megatron to keep his own warrios in check, as well as give away the plots of his enemies., and his sonic disrupter cannon can shatter even duetroniam alloys, as well as the mind of anybody with an audio receptor. With the Minicons at his side, and his ability to interface with them, soundwave is nothing short of a one bot army.

Okay, you got me hooked and flopping all over the boat like a fish, just waiting for more! :grin:

I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Your art has that fresh new look that I really like alot and that will keep me reading it! Trust me, you have no idea how many great comic stories that I stopped reading because of lousy artwork. Hell, I've read horrible stories that weren't worthy of ink and paper and the only thing that saved them was the great artwork! So keep up the great work! :grin:

Oh, Megs looks even better now

omg i just typed out this big long bio for megs here,a nd when i tried to submit it, it said no post mode specified, and erased it all :sad:

so heres the pic, ill retype and repost the bio in a little bit :cry:

News Credits: 1 · by **Venomous Prime** » Wed Feb 07, 2007 11:49 pm

Oh, the finished version of him looks amazing.

You might want to write the bios in word then paste them here.

and what are you using to color these?

good idea, i should transfer all i have written down to word so i can save it on disk anyway.

im useing photoshop to color. a multitude of effects, thought not all of which i should be capable of. simply because a virus ate half my photoshop tools. im useing gradiant shadeing, multiply on the brush strokes and layers, as well as glass effects, gradiant glowing effects, color dodge and chrome, which is set to my own setting to alow for a smooth non beveld effect.

when i get to drawing the story out however, im probably not going to go to this leval of extreme for the colors though, simply because it would take decades to do so, but for my characters and profiles, im giving the masterpeice treatment.

ill take some time tommorow if i can to type up everything so i can post some goodies. ide like to put up my somewhat feasable explanation for fem bots, and my story prequal, which tells my origion for Starscream.

btw charger, im loving the new sig~ one of my fave non show cyb/gf figs too.

and since i hate posting without any art to show, heres another tidbit.

spoiler!!

this is third generations N.E.O. Ravage. sorta an homage to his BW incarnation. no longer a casstette, nor a minicon.

he transformes from catman like robot, to robot cat lol,
and together with
Sprite, Dual barreld mini tank
Rumble, Space cruiser
and Lazerbeak, Assault carrier to buzzard

they can combine into

gestalt version N.E.O. Soundwave, who sill makes use of thier minicon bodies as drones.

but, the trio can also combine with Dryad Nexus, the final leader of the Decepticons...

but who that is, and what they combine into, is gonna stay my little secret for now~

Oh my god Ravage looks awesome

by **Galvatr0n** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 6:49 pm

The art looks very Rock/Megaman X'ish and i like!! Awsome cassette bots!

News Credits: 18 · by **Immortal Starscream** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 8:06 pm

thanks for all the kind words and support! im working an transfering everything thats written down onto harcopy, but its a ton of stuff to type out, and is takeing forever, so i havent got to work on a lot of stuff.

and my photoshops acting wierd again, my symbols arent coming out right at all. so heres a small, and in my own opinion all wrong update. one messed up autobot symbol, and megatrons bio!

the bio is being attached to the post with the finished pic~

News Credits: 18 · by **Immortal Starscream** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 8:44 pm

hmm..it keeps refusing to let me add the bio, weather in edit or new post. maybe his story is too big to post?

News Credits: 18 · by **Immortal Starscream** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 2:15 am

still cant figure out whats wrong with my bio, and why it wont post, but im too tired now to dork with it anymore. ill try again tommorow.

but for now, heres yet another work in progress, autobot Elita 1
