Maybe new toys of these guys with the Generations molds.

But that's only doable for the three on the left. There aren't any Generations molds for the body-types of Seaspray, Beachcomber, or Hubcap.

There was the Universe Beachcomber and HFTD Sea Spray.

Legion-sized Beachcomber and Voyager-sized (Movieverse) Sea Spray are drastically different from the Generations Legends class size. Their sizes would be all outta whack with the others.

Some of these have new links in the Prose Fiction section, but all the above old links still work as well.

Oh, forgot about that.





In other news, I think I've finally completed extending the BotCon/TCC fiction list on the front page! EVERYTHING is finally listed!

Though, I do still see some areas of improvement I could make to the list, like some of those bolded black ones aren't all "unknown" or necessarily "unimportant" continuities (some of them are part of their own grouped continuity, or part of other known continuities that I couldn't fit into the color code), and some of the ones lacking in links might be out there on the Internet somewhere and I just haven't found them to link to them yet.

I also think I could possibly add all the issue numbers to each piece magazine fiction to help make them easier to find than by just going by the release date.

And I'm sure there's other little improvements I could make to the list as well, and would be open to suggestions on how make said improvements, but for now, I'm finally all caught up.

The Wreckers: Finale Parts 1 and 2 are now up!

http://transformersclub.com/TCCprose.cfm

[Lore Keeper]

I have a question about the Wings universe that I haven't seen addressed anywhere thus far. On the wiki, it repeatedly states that the story, "Theft of the Golden Disk" is not part of the Wings fiction while it's followup story, "Dawn of Futures Past" is. Does anyone know why this is? I can't find any supporting information online.

Part 2 of Spatiotemporal Challengers is now online:

http://transformersclub.com/TCCprose.cfm

Our small band of heroes (and maybe a couple of baddies mixed in) have come across a new Cybertronian acquaintance. He seems to be an Autobot but something isn't quite right...

[Sabrblade]

Did not see this one coming.

Though, I'm still behind on the previous two. Gotta play catch up.

I read through some of these comics for the first time tonight and I must say, I really like them! I have never read one of these but now that I have, it's awesome! Especially the shattered glass stories. Man I wish they would do a whole shattered glass toyline

I should re-phrase that to "shattered glass toyline that is retail and affordable to general public"

A lot of the ones listed there were retail figures. Many Scout class ones, even.

huh. Ok, let's try this: I want a retail SG Optimus. That guy is terrifying. And I would like some of the other mains as mainline toys, cause they are cool. like Sideswipe.

I've never really been that intrigued by prose Transformers fiction (to my tastes, giant robots are far, far more suited for visual media), but the promise of feathered raptors has my interest.

I've never really been that intrigued by prose Transformers fiction (to my tastes, giant robots are far, far more suited for visual media), but the promise of feathered raptors has my interest.

I, too, have a personal preference for the more visual forms of Transformers storytelling, but it's hard to deny that most of the prose stories are pretty good (I can name a few clunkers, as I'm sure others could if they wanted to, but I find the gems far outweigh those).

[RevTibe]

It was pretty good; more nitpicks than I'd normally like, but still a pleasant read. Had some elements I've been wanting to see in a Beast Wars story for a while now (stasis pod cold open, alien planet w/ some earth animals). Author says "I’ll be posted the final art for all 4 Raptoricons when they’re fully revealed in the next issue!", which makes me curious how the characters will be involved next issue, since Fractyl already left. A separate story, just a character model gallery or something else?

I certainly didn't mean to speak to the quality of the club's prose stories; hard to do that when I haven't read them. Any stories in particular stand out as gems? Would be interested to take a look at them!

[Deadput]

That was a damn good read very interesting.

I would personally recommend the Shattered Glass prose, although if you're not a fan of the Shattered Glass concept that may not appeal. In that event, I would suggest any of the current "Beast Wars: Uprising" stuff, which typically has the advantage of being a touch shorter, but I still prefer the SG stuff.

Thanks, I'll throw those into my short story queue. Although I'm typically not crazy about mirrorverses, Shattered Glass seems to have grown a bit beyond that (SG Soundwave seems to be quite a bit beyond a simple mirror Soundwave, for instance). I'd forgotten I'd read Burning Bridges from Uprising, which had its strong points, but the basic concept behind Uprising hasn't clicked with me yet.
