Simon Furman Blog Update On Beast Wars Sourcebook

Long standing <a href="/people/index.php">Transformers writer</a> Simon Furman has updated his <a href="http://simonfurman.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Blog</a> once again. This time he <a href="http://simonfurman.wordpress.com/2007/10/30/beasts-shot/" target="_blank">posts</a> in regards to the upcoming Beast Wars <a href="/comics/index.php">Sourcebook</a> issue 2. The following has been taken directly from Furman's Blog.
"<i>As we teeter on the precipice between October and November, IDW squeezes out yet another Transformers comic release in a month already bursting at the seams. Issue #2 of the Beast Wars Sourcebook (character profiles series) hits stores this week (31st Oct in the US, 1st Nov in the UK), taking you through from Elephorca to Noctorro. Now here's a tester for those of you who figure you can detect a Furmanism at thirty paces: can you identify (or guess) which of the character profiles were written by me (rather than Ben Yee)? If memory serves, there are nine of them in total in issue #2. Now, if we (myself and Ben Yee) have done our jobs well, it shouldn't be easy to spot who did who, as they were done in a style, to a format, and I kind of did an editorial pass to make sure the whole thing was as seamless as possible (text-wise). But maybe you can work it out. Feel free to post your thoughts/conclusions on this thread and in a few days I'll reveal who was on the money and who missed the mark. I'll give you one for free, though, as it's a bit of a no-brainer: eight letters, begins with 'G' ends with 'K'. Click on the thumbnail below for a better butchers at the cover for Beast Wars Sourcebook #2 and don't forget to check out the <a href="http://www.idwpublishing.com" target="_blank">IDW site</a> for more preview pages and news of upcoming Transformers releases.</i>"
