All but two of the Club's old prose stories are currently up on their website for anyone and everyone (even non-members) to read.Bumblevivisector wrote:Say, maybe this has already been explained and I'm just the last to know, but what happens to all of that lost CLub-exclusive online fiction that disappeared after they were hacked? Will it just be thrown up online for free, or will Hasbro's new fan club have it once their site gets off the ground? I was a member the whole time, and really cheated myself be dragging my feet on the Shattered Glass stories.

Yep. That's Magmatron based on Diaclone Reboot Diabattles V2. He's fighting a miscolored Buzzclaw.durroth wrote:I... is that BW:Uprising canon Magmatron I see in that illustration? and who's the bot in the shadows behind eject?

I wish we could get a full shot of him. Or at least a digibash.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:durroth wrote:I... is that BW:Uprising canon Magmatron I see in that illustration? and who's the bot in the shadows behind eject?
Good eye, that is Magmatron... based on Diaclone Diabattles no less! The one behind Eject is Stiletto, a new character based on Windblade.
What's tragic was what actually came out, presumably, in lieu of some of these: Another Tigatron, Another Airazor, Another Tarantulas, and freaking Under-Three who despite being cool isn't as cool as basically any of these (except maybe the BM Rattrap from Prime Frumble, that one's sorta meh.)shajaki wrote:For a BW fan, these not seeing the light of day is nothing short of tragic
I won't disagree that Dawn of the Predacus was a terrible story, but you know good and well that it was all Hasbro who pushed for 2016 to be a Combiner Wars set and that the story was all IDW/John-Paul Bove's headcanon. Fun Pub merely coordinated with the two to both comply with their wishes and release everything to the specific venue. Scorn where scorn is due. Blame Hasbro for forcing the CW theme on the set and Bove for his nonsensical headcanon story.SW's SilverHammer wrote:These uprising figures would've fit perfectly fine into DoTFP, and actually pretty interesting, despite the fact is hate the fiction. Instead of this funpub decided to go with Dawn of the predicus which has some of the worst club figures, ever, one of the worst club comics, ever, and some of the worst promotion, ever. I would go so far to say the toys and fiction for dawn of the predicus are a BETRAYAL to beast wars. Eat my ass funpub.

In all seriousness, with all of the great, great collector-oriented toys coming out at retail and the Masterpiece line totally hitting a crazy stride, it is (was) very tricky coming up with repaints that would still appeal to the collector market.
Obscure G1 characters were becoming a lot less obscure and it was at times impossible to tell just what was outside of Hasbro/Takara Tomy's focus. Non-beast Beast Wars, unreleased concepts (be it G1, G2, or something like CW Ruckus), and Shattered Glass were really the only "safe" places to start digging for homages. And yeah those are pretty niche, so no expectations that everyone would love them.
