Seems like a pretty good idea.

Heh, we should take it to IDW and get them to do it.

So why not a series of novels that followed after the G1 cartoon that follows just after the Return of Optimus Prime, rather then the Headmasters, which was reconed wasn't it? OR if not, then start at the point of the Headmasters, show us an older Daniel, show us new characters, bring back some of the old characters that were in the movie and use that as the gap builder between Beast Wars and G1. Not only will it help explain in detail what happened to our older cast and where the Maximals came from. Not only that but to the Witwickys and the role they played and if Earth is still there.

Heck it could allow for some dropped concepts to be brought back (Transtech) and give us more developed characters then we can get in some other forms.

So why do you think Hasbro hasn't taken the chance and done this? Curious as a writer and I think it would be an awesome idea.

I have read the Transformers novel trilogy by Cian/Ciencin and I must say they are awesome! Very mature. Think the TF movie.

There are references to both the G1 cartoon and the Dreamave G1 (Volume One) comic series. Buy it today if it's the last thing you do!

There's also a reference to Spike having sex in the backseat of Bumblebee, or something to that effect...

*slaps forehead* Okay avoiding the first book! Yeesh! Not something I want to be thinking about. And I don't think Bumblebee really enjoyed that.

"Spike! What did you do to my upolstery?!"

It wasnt stated that it's bumblebee tho. Abd in the novels Spike was married to Carly and had a son already.

He was thinking about how people had tried to trick him into revealling secrets about tf's, and he mused one person pretended to be his girlfriend, and would regularly, but playfully, ask him about tf's afterwards. But no, it wasn't stated it was BB, though it would probably be a safe bet. And Daniel is four in these books. Though I don't know what happened to Carly while he was busy with the lass in the backseat. Selective memory, perhaps?
