These are some of those stories. This is:

That's Beast Wars Snapper (the turtle Predacon) and Claw Jaw (red Maximal).

Now that you mention "big blue shark", Snapper's personality in this one is very similar to another "big blue shark": RiD Sky-Byte.

Hmm, I guess I did write him similar to Sky-Byte. But really, that's pretty much the reason I wrote the piece, cause he has NO personality, other than a throw-away line about him talking incessently in "Beast Wars: The Gathering #2". I've had Snapper when I was a kid, and I loved turtles, so I loved his figure, and I decided he needed at least some characterization.

As for Claw Jaw, I love his figure too, a surprise Flea Market find. Also one of my faves. I considered having him narrate the whole time, but him being silent made him that much cooler.

So all in all, this is truly a fan-boy story.

Nice story. Great to see a lesser known non-G1 character get some screen time.

Really like the style - Beast Wars Animated!

Yeah I don't know, I can't get away from the title, it makes me think of this...

Which is probably far from the point of the story...

But on a serious note, the lack of text of any kind on panel 5, 6 and 8 breaks the flow of the story, if the panels had more detailed imagery in them, then you might get away with that trick, but as it stands, for me anyway, it broke the flow...

As for the artwork, the style is cool, but the stroke could have been a bit thinner, and more detailed background colouring would have helped to separate the background from the foreground, but I can understand if that wasn't possible.

Not trying to be too negatively critical, just my observations, Id love to do something like this myself, but it's tough to see the idea through to completion...

I like the kooky premise of the comic though!! Nice work...
