I've got some of the G1s and I have one of Armada Prime. You want 'em?

I have all the G1 and Armada ones. I was talking about the beasties.

I've got the first two from the big comic scanning groups, but as everyone knows, the books suck badly and I don't think they bothered scanning the 3rd.

There are big comic scanning groups? I thought there were just torrents sitting around somewheres.

DCP (Digital Comic Preservation) and Minute-Men. Combined they scan pretty much all the main releases each week (from DC, Marvel, IDW, Avatar, Wildstorm, Dark Horse etc).

They're easy enough to find.

Just a head's up, i'll probably "launch" this around 5-6pm Seibertron time tomorrow (check the clock down the bottom) so that's a little under 24 hours from now.

I'd hold off a little longer but I don't know how busy i'll get this weekend.

And here I though it was a nod to KAMJIIN for doing HMW:Frontline

Do we get a free water-gun with the first issue? Or maybe a sticker album

Spotlights are possible in fic sense, I don't think we have an artist that is willing to do so much for free.

Actually, I pitched the idea to the Preds and to the RDD not too long ago... other than Goribus nobody jumped on it.

My idea was for people to write a short story focusing on one of their characters and include kind of a MTMTE spread as well, possibly backed up by other artwork done of the character (or at the very least some shop'd recolors of existing pics)
Gor did write a short story, but without the rest I couldn't sell it... that and I wanted to have a quite a few in the works before I launched it so that it could be done every week or bi-weekly

If anybody else wants to attempt it be my guest, as with most of my ideas I'm not using it. :wink:

Never thought of it that way, but no, that wasn't it.

But don't worry, Kamjin has been recognised for his work with Frontline and it's influence on this. I will NEVER deny Kamjin and Frontline's influence in this little project.

Yeah I have Gor's bit on Occult, seeing as I have her now. Its good I'll give it that. He doesn't have a pic of her, nor am I good enough at Photoshop to put one together. Recolor yes, cut and paste/warp.. . . No I don't think so. I have one, but its not been posted nor edited, I do have a MTMTE bio for him though.

Do you have a MTMTE template?

News Credits: 2 · by **-Soundwave-** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 1:46 am

I do, yes.

Sweet. Some people might find a use for it after this weekend. :grin:

I've almost freed my plate of committments now (essays all done, just one commissioned team bio to write), after that I'll maybe write a few spotlight style stories based on characters from the game. I'd like to cycle through the factions in it, so first up would be a maximal or predacon. Who wants to volunteer a character?
Bear in mind, though, that my pohotshop skills are hiding in the same place AS is (right about the middle of no one knows where), so I'm only doing the text.
This will probably run alongside of the current Spotlight: Vos I plan to return to work upon. Once the Vos one hits a good size I might get to work on Polyhex or Iacon.

Tempting... a story written by JP...

but then I'd have to actually write up something like a bio for one of my Preds.

They all have bios written up on random peices of paper in my car, but I can't see myself spending the time to type them up proper-like anytime soon...
(curse my un-natural laziness ! :-x

)

and now you see why none of my ideas get off the ground :oops:

As crazy as this sounds, we need pics!

Maybe i'm alone in this but I really want to see a car strewn with papers with half written bios on them. And yes, i'll even throw it in BEL.

Sounds like this weekend is a good weekend to finally have my home PC fixed an dconnected to the web! :grin:

Sounds like it might be a good time to dust off my 3D modelling skills and dig out my Transformer meshes and go to work.

Sounds like a good time to recognise that I have no artistic talent whatsoever and pledge myself as a devoted, almost fanatical, reader

News Credits: 42 · by **Psychout** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 6:05 am

I have recolours/digibashes of a few of my team members but most are out of date and have no backgrounds to them, like this one
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/ ... itron2.jpg,
so if there are any shoopers who can help me finish a few of these off as I no longer have PS, please give me a shout.

I have a few stories that may go well with them too.
Sustain, could you please pm the me the MTMTE bio template?

If I can tonight ill also get some of the (crappy camera) photos of them up into photobucket too, I only found the folder again yesterday. :lol:

This may just be wild internet conspiracy theories but I heard that when Kamjin started Frontline he bought all the right's to any form of media regarding HMW. Thus any publication about HMW must be "filter" by Kam himself and will properly showcase the glory of the Predacon Empire :twisted:

Kamjiin didn't have a will, so unless he comes back from the dead those rights are lost.

As for the pic..

yeah you are weird

I had more but I actually did start typing some of them up and once a paper has been inputed it is tossed.
Some of those papers are actually small tablets, but I wasn't going to rip them apart just for a better picture.
I just realized that I've been carrying most of that stuff around since I was banned (I did some of my best writing while banned

)

I've got recolors of pretty much all my characters too (but I'm looking to rework a some of them). If anyone wants to use 'em, lemme know.

I just find it a fascinating inside into one of the minds of the many HMW players.

If I have ideas they tend to stick in my head and nag and nag and nag until I write a full story. Others probably bust out notepad or something. If they wrote it down on paper they'd probably leave it cluttered over their tables, I just never thought there'd be a car full of notes relating to HMW!

And I don't see it as a bad thing or something to be mocked either, it just shows to me how different we all are when it comes to how we build up the characters for our bots.
