Two years after the events of [url='https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfHpFgknepWdbzi-ktuV2vfxEnaTwQ59L']BROKEN MIRROR[/url], TREADSHOT and GRACE live together happily in their home in California, and Earth is protected by OPTIMUS PRIME and his heroic Autobots. However the peace is short lived as Treadshot’s Pretender body begins dying, putting his future with Grace in jeopardy. To make matters worse, MEGATRON and his DECEPTICONS return to Earth, hunting for an ancient relic of impossible power, and Treadshot is thrust back into his role as a soldier to defend his adopted home. Distrust and deception run deep, and the Transformers universe will be rocked to the very core in TRANSFORMERS: ASCENSION!

Also well I'm here.... Here is a teaser poster!

by **MaxLinden** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 3:44 pm

ENTRY CRITERIA:

• The character must be aligned with the Shattered Glass Decepticons

• The character can be Male or Female

• We’re looking for:
o Original Characters
o Characters who have never appeared in mainstream fiction
o Characters who don’t have a SG counterpart
Have a look around TFWiki for inspiration. Also feel free to give them a short description or bio – tell us a little bit about your creation and who they are. Personally, I’d take a look at http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Uni ... characters for names; see if any work for you.

• The design must be based around an easily attainable Legends/Deluxe class figure from one of the following toylines:
o Generations
o Prime/Beast Hunters
o RID
o Combiner Wars

• No movie toys. Designs must be in line with Classics, Universe, Generations, Cybertron games or Prime for aesthetic consistency. Also none of that 1-step or 5-step crap.

• Choose ONE of the following abilities/weapons:
o Technopath – the ability to ‘talk’ to non-sentient technology e.g. doors, turrets, microwaves, Prowl.
o C.L.U.T.C.H. – a small deployable sentry that assists a Transformer in battle.
o Singularity Grenades – destructive gravitational bombs which create a small localised black hole that pulls anything nearby into it.
o Crossbow – comes with special Explosive bolts, Energon-sapping bolts, Cryo-bolts and many others.
o Warhammer – a large ornate melee weapon capable of dealing massive damage that sends out a shockwave that can knock enemies to the ground.
o Grappling Hook – allows the user to reach areas that would be otherwise inaccessible. Can also be utilised as an offensive weapon.
o Phasing – allows the Transformer to pass through solid objects.

Entries can be hand-drawn, digibashes or whatever else. The winning design will be featured in future episodes of Transformers: Ascension. The reason we’re doing this so early is so that we can write the character into the scripts properly, rather than having cardboard cutout dialogue which could be slapped onto any old idiot.

Only ONE ENTRY PER PERSON, subsequent entries will be disqualified. Any entries which are not your own will also be disqualified, and that person will be unable to participate in any future competitions organised by Crosshairs Productions.
Submit your entries via the Crosshairs Productions Facebook page or here.

Crosshairs Productions reserves the right to make whatever changes felt necessary to the winning entry for whatever reason.

The deadline for entries is May 10th 2015. Best of luck!

EXAMPLE ENTRY:

NAME: Hotwire
GENDER: Male
BASE FIGURE: Transformers Generations Deluxe Bumblebee
COLOUR SCHEME:
Primarily dark blue, with red forearm panels. Large red stripe along the top of his vehicle mode.
ABILITY: Technopath
BIO: Hotwire has no idea what he’s doing, but he means well. He tries his best to impress everyone, especially new acquaintances, but it usually ends in disaster.

Season 2 Trailer!!!

by **MaxLinden** » Sat Mar 21, 2020 5:57 pm

It's been quite a while since we've updated this thread, but since the last time we've posted a lot of different things have came out including ALL of season 2 and 4 new shorts.
So lets start with the stories we've released on facebook!

Here is also some cool stories we wrote exclusive to our facebook page:

Era: 1990-2005
Location: Earth

"Man, this stuff feels weird... What's it look like, Prime?"

"Like thousands of stars, drifting from the heavens. I have seen this form of precipitation on other worlds, but its beauty is never lost on me.”

“From the sound of things, Downshift’s enjoying herself.”

“BEST. PLANET. EVER.”

Awe and delight is abundant as the Autobots experience snowfall for the first time since they arrived on Earth. This planet continues to surprise them every day…

Era: 1984-2000
Location: Shattered Glass Earth

Decepticon Octopunch locates a powerful Cybertronian artifact on the Norwegian Sea floor, but evil Autobots Topspin and Twintwist aren't going to let him take it that easily...

Era: 1990-2005
Location: Earth

Kick-Over and Smokescreen's patrol is interrupted by the appearance of the Constructions, a matter made worse as they merge into the terrifying and unstoppable DEVASTATOR! Completely outmatched, the two Autobots must hold out as long as they can until reinforcements arrive...

Era: 40,000 BCE - present day
Location: Thrull

Archon, Caminus, Colony Omicron, Theophany - for centuries the Duly Appointed Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord Depthcharge has pursued the psychopathic 'Protoform X' incessantly across numerous systems only for the deadly Cybertronian to slip through his servos. X's rampage has been ceaseless, killing thousands on neutral worlds, but now the hunt comes to a head on the molten planet of Thrull. Like the animal he is, Protoform X is as dangerous as ever when cornered...

Unit Designation: The Wreckers
Affiliation: Autobots
Current Status: M.I.A.

The Wreckers are the Autobots' specialist black ops unit who get their hands dirty and love it. Being sent into the worst possible battlezones on suicide missions means the survival rate in the team is pretty low, and as such the roster has gone through a number of changes. As of 2017, the Wreckers are in their 43rd iteration, consisting of:

Ultra Magnus (leader)
Springer (second in command)
Whirl (jerk)
Bumper (I’m not fraggin’ Bumblebee!)
Broadside (acrophobic aquaphobe)
Chromia (tallying kills)
Roadbuster (BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG)

The Wreckers' most recent mission saw them helping defend the supermax penitentiary Garrus-9 from a Decepticon invasion force led by Black Shadow to free Megatron. Command is yet to make contact with Autobot forces on Elba, as the facility was leveled by fire from a Worldburner-class battlecruiser.

Further information regarding this unit and its operations is classified. Minimum Omega-5 Level security clearance required.

Year: 1984
Location: Shattered Glass Earth

“Impertinent brat! You think a mere winch can restrain me, Grimlock?!”

“Aw yeah! Grindor’s never gonna top lassoing a Dinobot!”

“Focus, Blackout! Don’t let him get free!”

Blackout and Starscream struggle to wrangle Grimlock as he tears through the city of Baltimore in a berserker rage... not exactly the scenario that Megatron and the Decepticons were hoping for after planning to stay 'covert' on this planet.

Era: Present Day
Location: Earth

As the holiday season begins and Christmas Day draws closer, Grace takes Treadshot (using his human form Nathan) to the local Christmas market. Having never experienced the holiday from the perspective of the natives who celebrate it, Treadshot is overwhelmed with the aromas of sizzling hot dogs and warm pretzels, the din of slightly off-key carollers and festive songs blasted through crackling speakers… but most impressive is the sheer number of humans there – Treadshot has not seen a gathering like this in over a decade, and it warms his still-new heart more than anything.

Grace still hasn’t told him the truth about Santa Claus.

Era: 1984-2000
Location: Shattered Glass Earth

“Welcome to Earth, Treadshot! Magnus sends his regards.”

“What, didn’t he think his old friend was worth greeting in person?”

Treadshot has certainly had warmer receptions than this, Canada’s climate notwithstanding. His ship is severely crippled from AA fire and the only people here to greet him are the very bots who shot him down - the Autobots' resident butcher Ratchet and gangster with high ambitions Hot Rod. It seems Treadshot's hunt must, at least for the moment, be postponed.

Year: 2005 - Present Day
Location: Earth

“Weedy little sucker, ain’t it?”

“It’s fast, though. Tore that Eradicon shreds in a second.”

“Slash. She called Slash. She Dynobot now.”

Finding one of Shockwave’s many offsite labs on Earth, Grimlock, Slug and Swoop stumble upon something remarkable – a Cybertronian with a dinosaur mode like their own. The little one makes quite an impression by shredding the lone Eradicon sentry to paperclips. The Dynobots warm very quickly to the little one, but it seems a special bond has formed quite rapidly between her and Grimlock.

Our four new shorts:

Prelude to 'Breakout'

Six months before the events of Transformers: Ascension Season 1, Lockdown is approached by a stranger with a ludicrous job offer and a cyptic agenda.

Zodiac Bridge

A small platoon of Autobots is all that stands between a Decepticon tank division and the absolute annihilation of Iacon.

Tailgate

The anxiety-ridden Tailgate tries to find an alt mode and regroup with his pod buddy, all the while hounded by Astrotrain.

Welcome To Earth

Era: 1990-2005 Location: Earth Optimus Prime, recently reawakened from stasis, is provided with a Skywatch truck to scan as an alt mode to blend in with. The mission to Earth has begun...

AND LAST but not least, ALL of season 2 is out:

1 MILLION YEARS BCE The Allspark is gone, leaving behind a dead Cybertron burned by acid rain and eons of war. Rodion has fallen to the Decepticons, and now Optimus Prime himself leads a last-ditch mission to rescue his mentor and friend Alpha Trion from the clutches of the vengeful tyrant Megatron. As Decepticon forces close in all around them, a shocking secret risks being revealed, and a legacy threatens to be unravelled!

Crosshairs Productions is thrilled to present Transformers – Target: Alpha Trion! Starring BRADLEY FREW as Optimus Prime, IZAAC RYAN as Excellion, EMMA COTTINGHAM as Lancer, CHRISTIAN LAGASSE as Sixgun and MASON BROWN as Getaway, with special guest stars GARRY CHALK (Beast Wars: Transformers) as Hound and PETER SPELLOS (Transformers: Robots in Disguise 2001) as Alpha Trion!
