And somewhere, deep down, the two are the same in their essence: Fan characters starring in fan stories written by fans and drawn by fans. And that's more then enough for some critics and flamers out there.

I think we just don't need to care about that kind of people, all I know is we have a solid storyline that's quite original and we've got already far beyond a lot of other fan projects from the past.

Nothing against Twisted Metal by the way, heck...if I weren't working on our project I'd have tried to submit a story there, I hope all goes well for all the people working in the magazine.

Oh well, we'll see.

I already tried that myself, but with the chaos going on there... :lol:

Cool! Another fan project! Where can I find it though ??

I really dig that style of the posters Iskander! Very cool!
I see grimlock!

I was thinking the same

In each hand a crushed reformer!

Hey, that gives me an idea! Panzer (in altmode) about to crush some prisoners (in the exact same position as that tank), while Lockdown crushes them.

I had a similar thought the instant I saw that poster. XD

by **Ra88** » Mon Jun 27, 2005 7:59 am

Just a thought: Should we allow everyone to post the WIP images of the toys on other forums?

by **Lord_Loqi** » Mon Jun 27, 2005 8:26 am

have them link it here.

by **Iskander** » Mon Jun 27, 2005 10:34 am

Yeah, do as Loqi says, just make them post a link to these pages; we'll get even more exposure that way

Alright, I'll see what I can do.

Oh yeah, due to some MAJOR problems with school, I won't be online much (if at all) the following 2 weeks. Sorry, but if I don't crank up my grades, I can spend another year at this school, something I'm NOT looking forward too.

Here's a sneak preview for a little something I got cooked up. Nothing like a good hoax to attract attention for something. :twisted:

by **Pepie** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:15 pm

Give me a magnifier !!

by **Ra88** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:22 pm

"Got this image in an E-Mail today, appearantly from the same guy who leaked those Primus and Soundwave pics...Dunno if it's another GS remold or a Botcon/CyberCon exclusive..."

Oh yeah, this is going to be perfect! :twisted:

by **Iskander** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:52 pm

Added Panzer to your pic Ra, I can add Lockdown too if you want Pepie

by **Ra88** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 1:03 pm

Hmmn...Panzer's pic is too clear, so I have to change that :twisted:

EDIT: How about this, or should I make Panzer darker?

EDIT 2: Posted a thread on TFans, and BA's working on one in Seibertron. Let the fun BEGIN! :twisted:

I think you should darken the original pic, the resized one doesn't look that believable.

whahaha.. good one:

Nice. I just saw BA did the same thing over at Seibertron.com. I thought to myself, "hmm... those designs look familiar."

Oh God... This is all cracking me up so very much! xD

Watching the clueless masses go about wondering so is all too hilarious... :3

by **MetalSamamon** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 3:11 pm

I'm glad to see the people look at this figure and try to guess what it is...

...it makes me happy; and right now that's what I need.

Thanks everyone!

Too bad this site doesn't place newsitems on the front page like the other sites do. :twisted:

by **Lord_Loqi** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 3:40 pm

Oh man that's just mean. Funny as all but mean.

by **Ra88** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 3:43 pm

That's the point. :lol:

by **Pepie** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 5:25 pm

It's hilarious to see a lot of friends from here and other boards hop onto the discussion :lol:

My thoughts exactly :lol:

How about making some clearer pics to post tomorrow and then the day after we told the truth to all this people?, we don't want them to think we are trying to offend them or something.
