Who/what would have been a non-beast Tarantulas. I can't see a difference between pre-beast and non-beast. I'm not arguing with you Sabrblade, I'm just curious.
Well, "Hoist the Flag" revealed that the Wings Universe also contains a version of the 3H Beast Era continuity, which itself contains the Beast Wars and Beast Machines cartoons. "Dawn of Future's Past" is part of the 3H continuity due to its relationship with other Beast Era media (if you'd like, I could explain this notion further), so that puts the DoFP story (or at least a version of it) also existing in the Wings Universe.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:I think we should take the "pre-Beast Wars" at face value.

You got it. Though, which continuity conflicts are there between the G1 cartoon and BW? The only one I can think of would be how the Ark crashed being different.Midnight_Fox wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:I think we should take the "pre-Beast Wars" at face value.

I think the Club has decided to retcon DoFP(and thus the BW shows) into Wings despite the continuity conflicts between BW and G1. That groundwork was kinda lain in the Pirates vs Knights story, too.
That deco looks so much better!LOST Cybertronian wrote:The original news story has been updated with a new revised image of Tarantulas.

May I ask why?SW's SilverHammer wrote:1. I don't like wings
What about the other Fun Pub-made fiction that ties into other fictions like the Cybertron-based "Balancing Act" and "Revelations", the post-Marvel G1 Classics splinter timeline, the Animated Season 3.5 "The Stunti-Con Job" story, etc. etc.?SW's SilverHammer wrote:2. I don't like to think of club fiction being in continuity with any of the other fictions, with the exception of theft of the golden disk and D.o.F.P, as it's vague enough that it really doesn't affect beast wars proper, it's really just a representation of what most people thought happened on cybertron with added details.
Putting BW into the Wings Universe doesn't make that universe the "official" lore of the cartoon. It just makes that into one more universe that the BW cartoon happens to take place in. The English BW cartoon also exists in the Dreamwave G1 continuty, the IDW Beast Era continuity, the 3H continuity, and more.SW's SilverHammer wrote:Also I think beast wars alone works well enough with most any interpretation of G1 and anyones personal cannon, so making wings the "official" lore behind the events of beast wars kinda ruins it.

Virtually every piece of fiction produced by the Club has tied in with some other fiction, save for things like "Descent Into Evil", TransTech, Shattered Glass, BW Uprising, or the occasional standalone thing.
And there's also all the Beast Era fiction that 3H did in the pre-Fun Pub days.

It's just one common event occurring mostly the same way each time in multiple universes.
I can understand not liking heir writing, but putting more stories into the continiities of prexisting works written by other people is kind of a staple of this brand's fiction. It's what Transformers does. Always has, always will. And not just in the Club's works.SW's SilverHammer wrote:Mostly because the Wings Universe was created as a way to dance around the fact that characters look different, due to funpub's toy choices for characters. Also it's kinda convoluted because they tack more stories on, it's just the way things are with funpubs writing, it's not really something they've had planned out for years its more of loose strings of plot based around a "similar" sunbow cartoon continuity.
Same with pretty much everything else they've done that ties into other fiction. Beast Wars existing in the Wings Universe has zero affect on Beast Wars itself since everything pertaining to the Wings Universe is outside of Beast Wars's self-contained events, being a new framing piece for the other wise unaffected cartoon.SW's SilverHammer wrote:I didn't know about "Balancing Act" and "Revelations", as for stunticon-job, it's fine because it's a nice tight one off, it isn't integral to the T.F.A mythos.
So do authors of other TF works. "Making things up as they go" is a thing that often tends to happen in the development process of any series. The Beast Wars cartoon itself lived and breathed on that kind of planning.SW's SilverHammer wrote:There aren't rules and boundaries in funpubs fiction, they make things up as they go.
There really isn't any "strict continuity". It's just one cartoon (two, counting Beast Machines) whose events all happen the same within several separate framing pieces that all reside in their own continuities, but otherwise leave the common core component (i.e. - the cartoon) fully intact.SW's SilverHammer wrote:I feel like most of the club based fiction, including 3H, including dofp or theft, shouldn't be held in strictcontinuity, even with some of the defunct parts of transformers continuity, and stating "oh but they totally are, because multiverse" is cheatsy writing.
Then those two pieces of fiction must be lying to us when they show us glimpses of the BW cartoon's events happening in their continuities.SW's SilverHammer wrote:As for Dreamwave and IDW Beast Wars, I don't consider those in continuity with the beast wars cartoon,
As are every person who writes something new into preexisting continuities, not just Fun Pub.SW's SilverHammer wrote:funpub is trying to insert their own fiction into continuity.

something you might be able to hope for, is some people might be buying multiple tarantulas' for his drones. cause im considering it, but i dont need more than one tarantulas. you might see some on ebay sans drones for a low price.Madeus Prime wrote:I really like the look of this guy. My only complaint is that they should've remolded the chest to get rid of his "nipples" and they should've given his a new head.
Overall this guy is, like several other TFSS figures, one that I will dream of owning. I am admittedly praying he'll somehow end up like Circuit and end up super-cheap. One can hope anyway.

Thats why I didnt even bother buying this figure. Fansproject is already giving us awesome headmasters which caused Hasbro to realize the potential. Im not a big IDW fan, but ill get brainstorm just for fun. If he sells well, im sure hasbro will do another headmaster. But theyll probally do a decepticon next. My guess would be weirdwolf since his alt mode would have the most playability.
Hello Club -
I hope things are cooling down in your area! Today we begin a new sale. We are running out of room in the warehouse and we have decided to "thin" down some of the archives. We have been keeping too many of each product for future use and now it is time to reclaim the space! We have been at this for over 10 years so there is quite a bit of different items to choose from... some retail... some sold out exclusives and convention items!
However... we don't have many of any of these products! Some are the only one left!
So, to make this even more fun we are including with each of these products, the below Certificate of Authenticity which if you look closely, has the embossed 1926 Corporate Seal of Hassenfeld Bros. Inc. Providence, RI. We came across this one of a kind item from a collector. We thought you would enjoy having a commemorative print from it. This is the FIRST corporate seal that was created when they incorporated in 1926!
Check out the items now!
