Burcham was mainly responding to those who were thinking that, as in "Skold's appearance doesn't preclude Snapper from also appearing later on."AllNewSuperRobot wrote:The line about “replacing Snapper” doesn’t make sense either. How do you replace a non-entity?

Oh man, now we need to get a recording of David Kaye as Megatron doing that joke

WRONG! This is a new separate continuity entirely, like how the Marvel G1 comics were to the G1 cartoon, or the Dreamwave Armada and Energon comics were to their respective cartoons.Cyberstrike wrote:Great another bloody prequel/side story/interlude/sequel to a pair of American cartoon shows that has never needed it.
Well then, go read Uprising. It's great. Wnat's stopping you? It's not like those stories are gone or anything.Cyberstrike wrote:Hell just bring back Beast Wars: Uprising since I never got to read those stories and those better than this crap. Hell I didn't even hear about it until Transformers: The Basics covered it on YouTube.

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:The writer, Erik Burnham, who also wrote my favorite crossover TFs x Ghostbusters, didn't know Snapper existed. He knew about the BW show characters, but the toyline was largely unknown to him, so he created Nyx and Skold without knowing about a lot of the non-US cartoon toys. So there is that.
AllNewSuperRobot wrote:I'm not sure I buy that, at all. Clearly Josh Burcham's designs borrow heavily from both erstwhile figures. Meanwhile even a "Beast Wars" google search, typically brings you images of the toy line and show immediately. Even the mini-comic is only a brief scroll away. Basic due diligence, for referencing purposes.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:The writer, Erik Burnham, who also wrote my favorite crossover TFs x Ghostbusters, didn't know Snapper existed.

Plus, it wasn't a huge core line to begin with.
46 figures in the first '96/97 line (49 if you include Onyx, Fractyl and Packrat)
27 with the Transmetal/Fuzor '98 line (29 with Antagony and Vice Grip)
17 in the TM II '99 line (discounting Fox Kids redecos), plus 2 with Sandstorm and Windrazor.
The Beast Era isn't some endless abyss of characters and designs ala G1.
Because I didn't catch on about Snapper until I was already sold on Skold as a turtle! (:
Josh borrowed from Snapper's design, though I asked for her to be an Alligator Snapper (with those great spiky shells.)
It does do some of that, but it's also its own thing by design, changing some things around. Issues 1-6 is based on the first 2 episodes of the show (with twists, expansion, etc.)
We're not going to follow the show beat for beat or you wouldn't see any other bots for a bit!
The Vok? ...Who Might They Be?

A brand-new Beast era begins in an oversized first issue by Erik Burnham (Ghostbusters, Transformers/Ghostbusters) and Josh Burcham (Transformers, Transformers Galaxies), yesssss!
