The Energon Pub

Remember the fan comic group that did the Transformers Animated Spotlight: Rodimus Minor (transformers-animated-spotlight-rodimus-minor-4-page-preview-t66637.php)?
This group has again sent us 3 pages of exclusive preview for their new project/online comic: TRANSFORMERS: BEAST WARS -- SECOND CHANCES.










The full online comic is scheduled to be released on February 2, 2011 over at: http://BWSecondChances.deviantART.com

Seibertron, Ultimate Transformers Resource!

I still haven't read all the IDW BW stuff, so I'm not sure what all they are or aren't writing around or bumping out of continuity. But fan based or not, if it bumps Beast Machines out of continuity, I'm on board!

Of course, if it's well-written, it should be a good story while maintaining an ambiguous enough ending that fans who love or hate BM could accept it...(sigh).

All these guys besides Waspinator just somehow surviving after all seems just a tad lame, but Spotlight Rodimus has my hopes up for this.

The Depth Charge/Rampage thing is kinda interesting.

The story takes place after the final episode of Beast Wars, and requires no previous reading of the IDW material.

As for everyone save Waspy surviving, well the thing about that is that we wanted to use characters fans were familiar with. One of the criticisms of "The Gathering"(though more from "The Ascending") is there were way too many characters crammed in there that unless you knew who they were, you didn't care about. You won't find any toy exclusive characters in the main cast, but you might catch a cameo from one or two .

Also, glad to see one of my pages made it into the preview. I wrote most of the Dinobot II stuff, so I hope everyone likes my arc!

I like it! I miss waking up early at six in the mornings to watch re-runs of Beast Wars before school...

You and me both. I loved watching Beast Wars before school in the morning. This comic looks excellent, I'm also interested in the fusion of Rampage and Depth Charge in one body. I'm sure he'll [ DC ] really enjoy that, haha.

Enough said. This makes me want to go back and watch my complete Collection of Beast Wars agian! Oh how I loved watching Waspinator get blown to peices.

Anyone else notice the crab in panel 2 of page 2?

PS - Whoever colored page 2 - YOU ROCK!

Well, the Universe Depth Charge - Rampage mosaic was certainly deeper (and better colored and drawn) than the page in this comic, but I look forward for it.

Is that duct tape on Inferno and Quickstrike?

Depth Charge's story is just begining. Mike Priest(the writer of the Mosaic mentioned) also penned Depth Rampage's story, and it's awesome .

Also, that isn't duct tape, it's vines.

*Chuckle* Really?

They should've gotten that guy (from the mosaic) to do that page then.

It's here!!!

That was freakin' awesome! The artists who drew pages 14 and 16 should have drawn the whole though. Their work is amazing.
