Concept design and finished image comparison of production work for Transformers Fanimated Insecticons Unite, a fan film short created by ambitious animator Koy J. Campbell. Work is updated on a regular basis.

Hey this looks cool. Can't wait to see how it all ends up. Keep us up to date!

You need any voice actors? I'd love to do one of the Insecticons. That's actully some nice art work you got going there.

Thank you very much Saber Prime, I will most definitely keep you in mind once I get to that point in the project which I hope will be very soon. I really appreciate all the feedback I have been receiving for this project so far, and I am very surprised in how many Transfans have already offered to do voice work for the completion of the film as well.
I like the tag pics you have of Bumblebee, I have been a BB fan since G1. I think one of my favorite pics of him so far has been a cover for GI Joe vs Transformers where Scarlet was sitting on his shoulder.

Thank you again

Why's that? I'd be surprised if that was a transfan who didn't want to provide their own voice for a Transformer.

I like the tag pics you have of Bumblebee, I have been a BB fan since G1.

Bumblebee was my favorite character when G1 was still on the air and he and Jazz were really the only G1 Toys I ever had as a kid. Jazz was technically my older brother's but I was the only one who knew how to Transform him.

Oddly enough Bumblebee and Jazz seem to have to same number of show remakes not counting Bumblebee's Goldbug repaint. Both characters have incarnations in G1, the movie, and Animated.

Thats cool Saber Prime, I get nostalgic from time to time and start remembering all the old toys I had when I was a kid too. ONE of my favorites was Jazz too, the first one I had needed to be repaired about 10 times cause the windshield kept breaking off, then he finally fell apart. I managed to purchase a G2 Jazz back during the Kiddie City days, thankfully I still have him, even though I hate his updated paint scheme with that stupid blue music note on his hood, I managed to keep this one in better shape but lost his shoulder cannon and laser pistol.
The others that were among my ABSOLUTE favorites were Smokescreen, Bluestreak, Jetfire, Tracks and of course the Insecticons.

If you or your brother own the season 3 and 4 box set, check out the last few episodes of season 4 when they upgraded Bumblebee to Goldbug....... then when you watch the final episode when the Autobots are celebrating their huge victory, watch to see who is standing among them, just pay real close attention to the scene, its pretty funny.

I managed to build up a pretty large collection of Transformers, though I did sell all of my Beast Wars figures. My collection of Transformers keeps growing especially now with all the brand NEW Transformers Animated and Universe figures. The Mighty Muggs are AWESOME and will be saved for my son to display around his room when the time comes. The Alternators were done PERFECT, its just sad that they were pretty much cancelled, I never managed to purchase a Rumble so my collection for them is not complete and that sucks!!! Now that Im looking at them, I have a TON of Transformers and Transformers related things....... but "hey" thats no surprise, Im a fan.... LOL.

Theres a TON of great characters I would love to see make an appearence in the Transformers Animated series, but from what I have been reading lately, it sounds like the show will be coming to a close this season. I hope those are just rumors because Im pretty much addicted to the show, I guess the only thing to do is enjoy it for now and see what happens. I can say though that once the Insecticons Unite episode is finished, I will be looking forward to doing another episode.

Looks great! Kickback deserves a cool, strong voice. But I really like what you have done with the designs.

Excellent work!

Love it.

Very impressive.

I had kickback as a kid and my brother had either Shrapnel or Bombshell.

I'd love to do voice work too -- along with the many others who have told you the same.

Thank you very much Oldskooltf, Awesome username by the way.
Old school TFs will ALWAYS possess the best designs, BUT it is still cool to see the NEW ideas that Transfans are inspired to create. I will admit that it was hard to accept the whole Transformers Animated thing when I first saw it, but after giving it a second look and watching it with an open mind Im happy to say that I am more than addicted to the NEW stylized look.
As far as Transformers Fanimated Insecticons Unite is concerned, all the support given by my fellow Transfans is really making a HUGE impact on this fan film project causing it to becoming more and more serious everyday. I can honestly say that I more than appreciate the offers I have been receiving in regards to voice work for the film and will seriously consider the offers when the time comes. I would not even be driven to complete this film if it was not for the feedback I have received from true fans so far, Thank you.
