Well, I suppose the final decision it's up to you, but for a character with such a small part I'd say we should use another name; It's not that it sounds evil, it's just that it sounds kinda fascistic (exactly what the Reformers don't like), maybe there are other suggestions from the rest of the participants?

Maybe we can start a thread with people who want their fancharacters/slight homages to have cameos then. And personally I think there's something funny about an Overmaster getting killed almost immediatly.

Good idea, just posted it at the "Finished Customs" forum so it gets more exposure.

Hello,

I've haven't contributed anything to the story yet, so here's my idea.

I would like to do a crossover story between one of my series (Transformers: Cybertron Revisited) and this one.

It would be called Transformers: Transtopia Revisited, and would take place alongside the main storyline.

Here's the bio on Transformers: Cybertron Revisited:

Transformers: Cybertron Revisited is actually a series that takes place after Transformers: Crisis (though that really doesn't affect the series). It involves some of the Crisis characters, and takes place throughout space as the last survivors of Crisis's outcome try to find other surviving Transformers throughtout the galaxy.

I think that would be cool if my characters, while on their search, stumbled onto Transtopia, and joined the fight with the rebels after learning the story behind your series. Maybe even a couple of characters could swap places and mine could stay with the rebels and yours could join the crew of the Finality (that's the ship's name in Transformers: Cybertron Revisited).

Of course I'm going to get everyone's O.K. before I try something like this. And Iskander, you can be the editor since this was your idea.

If anyone wants to see my creditials (past work), click on the following links:

Crisis: Volume I
Crisis: Volume II

Also, I'm not that great of an artist (I'm more of a writer and toy designer), so if anyone would like to collaborate with me on the comic, please either reply or e-mail me at metalsamamon2000@yahoo.com and let me know.

Thanks for reading this, and please reply to this!

mmmm...don't know, I think it's little early in our project's development to crossover with another continuity.

Indeed, so let's save it later for a spinoff fanfic series.

O.K. That's fine. When you guys want to do this, just let me know.

Thanks,

I was wondering something. Does Eternus have a design for the present version, or is the past version of him the only one with a design so far?

If not, then I have a very interesting idea for him. I'd like to keep it secret to those not involved with the project though.

Hey!

I was wondering if maybe I could make a figure for Wave 1 (since my crossover idea didn't go over so well). I've never made an actual fully finished (primed, painted, altered face and body) figure before, but I've drawn numerous toy designs, and I've deconstrcuted some of my junk TFs and swapped parts; so I'd really like to give it a shot . So please reply and let me know if this is O.K. If so, I'll post sketches when I'm online next (I work a lot of overtime, and I'm usually tired at the end of the day ).

Thanks to everyone!

He stays the same. Unless Ra88 wrote something diffrently.

If the idea is good, I might revise it. So tell me through a PM, okay Gryph?

And you're welcome to MetalSamamon! We always encourage new members!

Great! I'll get right at it then! This is fantastic! I'm so excited!

Sorry Ra88, but I sent you a PM regarding this before I seen the reply.

Thanks, and I'll post a sketch of the character as soon as I can.

***START EDIT***
Hi. This figure was kind-of a "jump on the bandwagon" figure that didn't have much time, thought, or effort put into him. He had a lot of problems, especially with his stupid looking missile truck mode (the jet mode wasn't much better). So, I canned the figure, and made a better, more beautiful figure instead named Delphinia. You can find her pictures in the Completed Works thread, and her bio in the Character Bios thread. Trust me, she's a lot better than this guy . So, forget about this figure if you happened to suffer the misfortune of viewing it.
***END EDIT***

I actually made the figure already, and posted pictures of him on the 4th page of the "Character Sketches and In-Progress Images" area. He's not finished yet (he needs a new nosecone, new wings, weapons, a final paint job, and a cool name), but this is him essentially. Take a look and tell me what you think! The pic links are here:

I'm sorry I've not commented on your stuff MetalSamamon; I'll do it in the proper threads, there is no need to have this duplicate posts.

I was just wondering if the figure was good enough for the series. If it isn't, I'll make a new & better one. That's all.

Thanks,

Well, I decided to get rid of that "other" figure that I had made; it looked dumb in it's vehicular modes and didn't really do anything in terms of articulation, so if BA or one of the other site administrators could remove him totally (pics and all), that would be great .

However, don't think I gave up on this project. NO WAY!!! I just needed to make a better figure, and that's what I did. Her name is Delphinia, and the link to her bio and toy pictures are below. Take a peek. She's much better than that "other" guy .

Thanks, and I hope she will work for the series.

I just had an idea for a story arc, but I'm not sure if it could work because it ties into the G1 (and subconsciously Energon) universe.

Basically it's about the Reformers going towards the Jungle Moon to seek the help of the Sec'Laz people, and after gaining the chieftain's trust, they learn of Qumekla, the Sec'Laz god, rumored to live in the centre of the jungle, deep within a temple. Deceptor learns of this and heads to Jungle Moon himself to stop the Reformers, knowing that this information could cause a rebellion among the Sec'Laz slaves. The Reformers eventually arrive at the temple, and discover it's actually a crashed alien spaceship, trapped inbetween the large trees. Once they go inside they discover it's home to Qumekla, or rather Omega-Q, a Quintesson scientist that looks like a bulked up version of Alpha-Q with just one, lizard-like head (a Solosson, if you will). He tells them about him escaping the desert planet of Q Prime, but winding up in a transwarp corridor, and somehow crashing on a remote planet. Realizing he couldn't get away, he started giving life to the planet, turning it into one giant Eden, complete with a race modelled after his ideal of a perfect creature. He then tells them about the Vok coming in and creating Transtopia and it's moons, and a guerilla war starting between the Sec'Laz and the Vok Emissaries. After a war that ruined Transtopia and a large part of the Jungle Moon, the two species made peace, and rebuild the planets. But before he could tell them more about the history, Deceptor barges into the temple and mortally wounds Omega-Q. Before he dies, he manages to tell Whirwlind that if he wants to know the truth, he should find the monuments of the war, that were hidden away by Eternus, and then activates the self destruct. The Reformers and Machines get out of the spaceship before it explodes, and the Sec'Laz are furious at the Reformers for destroying their sacred temple, and ban them from the Jungle Moon. But now the Reformers know that they should look for these monuments, because they might be the key to driving off Eternus, according to Omega-Q' tales about him fearing them.

Well, what do you guys think? Is it too clich? or a good idea?

Hello,

I think that sounds great and all, but one question: Why drive off Eternus? Someone as obsessed with order aned perfection as Eternus is probably couldn't be just driven off; he might need to be either shown the error of his ways or disabled/destroyed.

But then again, I only know Eternus through the comic storyline and his bio, so I may have him pegged totally wrong. But, that's just my opinion.

Thanks,

I like it and I think the ties are apart enough of the G1 storyline, as you are using a completely new character; also, as long as the Energon ties are "subsconcious" I'm OK with it.

Also the story could be a good point to introduce a couple of beast characters that people are working on.

I like it too. It also goes with the future Decepticon storyarc. Panzer could be secretly helping them find the monuments. They'd create even more of a distraction for both sides. Maybe have it go right into the Decepticon storyarc. The Reformers find the last monument. They believe they've gained a huge victory over the machine. Then Suddenly all hell breaks loose when the Decepticons invade.

How's that sound?

Metal Salamon: Well, that's the whole myth, that Eternus is afraid for the monuments. Whether this is because of them containing the entire history of Transtopia or some mystic weapon created by the Vok and Sec'Laz in case Eternus would get too greedy, is unknown. That adds a bit of mystery to the storyarc, and we can still implant the extremist Primus followers by having them not accept this history and doing everything possible to stop it.

Gryph: That sounds fantastic, and could be an interesting part of the story, cause it would "proof" that Eternus was right all along.

Sounds interesting Ra88. I'll finally be starting actual drawings of eternus this week. School is out and i took my last final last night. here's hoping i passed it.

I've been contimplating giving Eternus a stone throne. What would you say to the thrown being comprised of the monuments? You know the whole hidden in plain sight where no-one will ever notice them except scooby doo looking for a mustard pack.

O.K. Like I said, I only have limited knowledge of Eternus, so I can't really say what he would react to and how he would react to it .

Also, you can just call me MS. It's probably a lot easier than spelling out MetalSamamon. Thanks,

Hmmmn...Or maybe the keys that can activate them? That way the "final battle" could take place in the Iris, and thus let it end where it all began.

Oh ya i decided how the Eternus's projectile weaponry will work if your interested.

the main gun will be the orb in his chest and work kinda like the chest cannon finnishing moves on gundam battle asault. The wings on his back will unfold to collect solar energy possibly and then he'll fire a blast out of his chest simialar to wing zero's cannon. not a close range or indoor weapon and not to be used often.

I'm also going to try and mount the missle launcher on the front of the vehclie mode to the shield whenever galaxy force comes out.

anybody know when hasbro's supposed to start distribution?
