This project is meant as a virtual television continuation of the original G1 Transformers cartoon show. What that means is fans can write their own fanfiction episodes that continue the show, starting with a continuation of season 4, post-Rebirth. The first two virtual episodes have been released already, with more to come, as well as two versions of the fan-made opening sequence video, all on the Episode Guide page.

How the project works: We think of ourselves as made-up "1987 cartoon show writers, hired as new writers of the original Transformers cartoon." Not only do we see it from that time-perspective, but also we continue the show's natural toy-character-introductory process. However, instead of being allowed to use *ONLY* G1 toy-characters of that year, we use them at least mostly, with out-of-production characters allowed to have a smaller amount of usage. As a G1 cartoon writer on-staff, one would use their own judgement on "how much Hasbro would allow that, as they'd want their current-year toy-characters mostly used and promoted." Later virtual seasons would be "done in 1988," and so on, following the same rules.
If anyone would like to join, please go through submissions. Let me know if you have any questions, as I'd be glad to answer them.
Thanks!
