Update! April Fool'd By The Club...Forgiveness Possible.
Don Figueroa is to be 'real' artist for convention comic, making a brief return for the club, and the 3 page preview should still be happening on Thursday. End Update

Pwned Fools--Yesterday, on the Collector's Club website http://transformersclub.com/, it was announced that a 3 page preview of the mirrorverse 'Shattered Glass' convention comic book would be available online this Thursday. Apparently, a prominent member of the club's own forums has been able to scoop up the preview early and present it for all to see.

For those that want the entire comic book and style to stay a surprise, please know that my opinon is that you will be pleased with the art style chosen and the first few pages represent what looks to be a quality story with very surprising guest stars galore! My only hint: "This is not your father's Transformers!!"

For those willing to be a bit spoiled check out Page 1http://www.botcon.com/botcon08/08comicpreview/previewpage1.jpg, Page 2http://www.botcon.com/botcon08/08comicpreview/previewpage2.jpg, and Page 3http://www.botcon.com/botcon08/08comicpreview/previewpage3.jpg.

Thanks to Munkeefist for the detective work!

Wait, what does that mean? THis is real, just check out the link to the CClub website, and see the page they took their pic from.

I doubt they would take the time to do up three pages to mislead us... :-B

Grimlock's an upper-class genius, Starscream's a gentleman, Predacons are featured, and the rest of the Cons backup are past Botcon exclusives? This is very weird, but cool at the same time. I wonder what the Deathsaurus repaint character will be called, or if he'll still be called Deathsaurus?

Anybody else noticed the Seacons on page 3?

Even though I'm not capable of attending BC08, I needs me this comic, it looks aces!

Man, I never really liked G2 comics. Art just isn't my sytle.

Just...awesome.

wow,they look so great, more colorful.

I don't mind the art. I just don't like the writing. Far too many I grimlocks. But I am not attending so this won't effect me anyways.

Boy, that was cheezey. At least it's better than Animated.
I still have a feeling it's a joke.

Bugbite as a WWI pilot. Who would have thought.

Wow, thats pretty meh. If its a fan production than okay, but the art is pretty bad the script is atrocious.

I'm sorry but this storyline deserves way better.

Why do they all seem to speak as if they were 'British'? :-(

News Credits: 1082 · by **Tigertrack** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 9:48 am

Well it could be an April Fool, but by golly, TFCC would get all of us then...

I like the art btw, and I know some wouldn't but I find it refreshingly different and very G2, UK in its feel. :APPLAUSE:

*rolls her eyes and is somehow reminded of a post she just made regards April Fools in the General Discussion forum*

Guys, its an April Fools prank. These pages aren't real. The cub's site put up a fake 3-page preview to get us all excited.

They had me fooled too.

I'm not sure "excited" is the right word. It would have been more like "scared".

I mean, the art's cool, and some of the implied potential characterization might be interesting. But the dialogue is terrible. Then again, it seems a number of people on the Net liked it...

Thanks for the update- TT24 pwned... :oops:

Thank GOD! For a second there I thought Bay wrote it.

EDIT: Removed Lil formers pic due to bandwidth exceedationismitation.

In complaining about the dialogue, you're simply proving how badly you've missed the point.

In the sense of being seriously evaluated because a person thought it was real, it's bad dialogue.

In the sense of knowing it's a parody, it's kind of lame. Mainly because it was played straight enough to fool people so it couldn't be over-the-top funny, but not straight enough to be good funny.

Agreed, and s'why I like it.
Any chance of me getting this even if I don't attend, like through Diamond or something?
