No, actually, I'd enjoy some character development.

lol, children please, there WILL be the same character development there was in the cartoon and then some, I promise. The storyline will follow VERY close to G1, it will be like watching it all over again only with a few twists and turns you will never see coming. It will be the same transformers you all grew up with, they will just look a little different when in robot mode, nothing more. Trust me, you all will like it if you give it a chance. it will go straight into laser fights and espionage, just like the cartoon, while building character.

I understand that but what i mean is these characters are already developed so whats the point in character development when its already been done for you by 25 or so years of history?

The point is I am trying to target the movie fan audience as well, who may not know the characters as we do. I am not going to make a movie for each one, I am just going to bring them in as the cartoon did. That way we get to see our old favorite storyline and everyone else gets to learn a new side of transformers

Alright then, i see what you are doing which makes sense now. I was just saying because if you wasnt doing what you are planning to do, thered be no need for character development as we all know who these guys are already, we grew up with em after all. That would have saved you some time in your project.

Wow all I hear is a bunch of whining and nobody actually willing to help Sekse in his work. You simply cannot please everyone. And as transfans we're either going to have to accept what is given to us or do it ourselves (which is why we kitbash). As I recall Hasbro thought it would be a good idea to kill off the GREATEST Autobot leader during G1 but in doing so we were introduced to some badass characters. Who might I add still pop up as toys.

If I try a F-22 Screamer, I will have to do it all on computer as I don't have a scanner at the moment. Please be patient

Plus I am a bit of a nOOb at the computer method of drawing, so it might not look right the first time

But I have a book on how to draw fighter jets, and an Mp Screamer to use as an artist's manaequin, so hopefully I can combine the two and make it G1-ish.
