Welcome to the Transformers: Vanguard thread for 2015. Updated, reloaded, refocused and better than ever.

This thread will be the main hub for all "Transformers: Vanguard" information here on Seibertron. This thread will contain images, videos and fun stuff like that.

Let's kick it off with the upcoming character/model development list:

Tags:
2015: 2014 models getting 2015 remakes
2014: original 2014 models that aren't getting model updates, they are just getting textures updates to bring them into line with the new 2015 style. They will just be released here. Only the remakes and new models will get their own threads.
None: Characters without a tag are brand-new!

Release List/Order:

2015 Ultra Magnus [Completed]
Wheeljack [Vehicle Mode Being Created]
2014 Slugslinger [Repaint will be done soon, potentially before Wheeljack's Robot Mode is done]
2015 Toxitron
Thunderwing
2014 Hot Shot
Sideswipe
2015 Roadbuster
Solara
2014 Shockwave
2015 Megazarak
Brainstorm
2014 Impactor
Slipstream
2015 Galvatron

There will likely be a few more characters after this released this year.

Here's his vehicle mode. His robot mode will be coming soon.

These models all look fantastic. Slugslinger looks awesome in particular.

By the way, are you in need of voice actors? I've always wanted to give VAing a try and I have (n my humble opinion) a fairly strong voice. I have access to a decent mic and Audacity, so I could do a few sample lines if you want. (I should warn you that I am British and can't do an American accent to save my life, so if I did do any VA work the character would have to have a British accent.)

Thanks for the praise! I really appreciate it.

Right now, no voice actors are immediately needed, but I'm sure in the future there will be. I'll let you know as soon as they are!

------------

Wanted to let you all know:

We are nearing 3 years of me working on Vanguard. A month and a half away. As most of you know, I've put countless hours of work into the story and art for the series, but it still has a long ways to go.

So this message is two-fold: A request for help & a notification of "vacation".

First, the request for help.

For Vanguard to be able to become a reality as a full, amazing series (or at least a few episodes), I really need help. Namely, I need someone who can model humans.

So I'm asking all of you Vanguard fans: If you or anyone you know is good at, interested in, or currently a decent amount into learning 3D Modeling, Animation or Rendering, please point them toward the project and have them contact me at galvanitro@aol.com .

I need all of the help I can get to deliver the best fan-made series to you guys. I've got sound covered, a ton of you awesome voice actors and even more willing to step up, a sound designer, a couple of amazing composers, and much more.

Writing is currently and will be covered for the whole series. As I said, 3 years. I really think that should get across what's going on there.

But the visuals are the biggest thing. So share this message get it out as far and as wide as you can. Get to every Transformers fan and/or online series person you can get it to.

I will work on the short with Wheeljack & Slugslinger, and continue to work on new character models and the writing, but if you guys want to see the series, I need your help.

Secondly, the vacation notification:

More or less, I've been working non-stop (with public & non-public) development on this series. And while it's been an incredible experience developing the series, it has also drained my creative batteries somewhat.

So I'm letting you guys know that I'm taking a vacation from the project. Once the 2015 redesign for Toxitron is finished, I'm not going to be "working" on the project for a few weeks or so. Now obviously, I'll be working with crew members (especially if offers of help come in), but actual new writing and model work will not be progressing.

My efficiency and production speed has been lackluster for awhile now, and I hoping a vacation will get me back up to full speed.

I appreciate everyone's support and understanding.

So please share this and get this out everywhere. I've got an awesome series for you guys, I just need help delivering it!
