Now that all of the ones from years' past are available for anyone to access from the Club's website (minus two that are still missing from the site), anybody here read any of the older ones? Cybertron? TransTech? Wreckers? Classics? Shattered Glass? Wings Universe? Or even the recent Beast Wars: Uprising ones?

I thought that there was separate section with all the shattered glass stories, like the reunification story. Or is that a whole other thing?

Reunification's a magazine comic storyline, not a prose story.

Inflammatory? Really? That sounds to me more like you're just looking to be offended whenever something that looks at all like "SJW" comes up, no matter how appropriate to the overall theme of BW: Uprising.

Seriously, this should be a non-issue.

Heck yeah. It's very different from the normal TF stories we've (or I've seen).

Also, in the latest story, in the scene changes, there's dividers covered with Cybertronix (Cybertronian alphabet). Decoded, there's a bonus story. It's not extremely important to the plot, but it does flesh out some details and gives some backstory. For those that don't read Cybertronix, here's a translation- http://jalaguy.tumblr.com/post/15335240 ... ith-infamy

Having defeated the fearsome assassin Stepper, the Gobots have at last made their way to Ironworks Base. The Autobot commander Metalhawk awaits them inside, but when they set their sites on a location that may hold the key to salvation of Gobotron, they are faced with a difficult decision that may affect the outcome of their quest. Is there a solution that can save their world while returning them home intact?

In "Journey's Eve," the third chapter of Spatiotemporal Challengers, you can lend your voice to the story! S.T.A.R.S. commanders of the world, unite!

TF_JW wrote:To vote for the Gobots, take to Twitter and use the hasbtag(s) for the robot(s) you'd like to see go on the mission. The top five hashtags are the members of the mission - any Gobots that this story hints at as members can be... replaced.

And the polling closes the 30th, not the 31st. Since, well, there is no 31st. That was a typo that I copied over without noticing at first, but then kept because I was still feeling silly after all of those blueprints.

The penultimate chapter in the Beast Wars: Uprising universe is now online!

Cheetor and Preditron have been doing their bit for the Resistance ever since they were sprung from Fortress Maximus prison. Much to their chagrin, The First Resistor and the patriarch of the Predacon race are more valuable as propaganda tools than on the field of battle. But this time, a routine assignment deep in the heart of Resistance territory, far from the front, turns into something much more ominous. Soon these two unlikely allies find themselves at odds with Lio Convoy’s increasingly dubious agenda. It's a tale of lies, corruption, betrayal, pit fighting, and secret weapons.

After six years of brutal warfare, Lio Convoy’s rebellion is at its end. The Vehicons are on the march, assimilating everyone and everything in their path. But the Resistance won’t go down without a fight, and there’s no line Lio Convoy won’t cross to save the Maximals and Predacons from horrific annihilation. Virtually every character ever seen in Beast Wars Uprising (including some dead ones) grapple with the Vehicon Apocalypse in Derailment, the titanic climax of the Grand Uprising.

With a cast of hundreds, Furman-esque levels of carnage, and amazing art by Guido Guidi, Josh Burcham, Matt Frank and more, Derailment is a full-on Beast Wars Uprising novel, available only from Fun Publications.

12/28/2016 - The Final Shattered Glass Prose Story Told At Last!

It is the year 2011... Transhuman cyborgs, secret Underbase agents, and missing Autobots are leading to one mystery after another. How are they all linked? And can Cyclonus - a Decepticon labeled a traitor by nearly his entire faction - find out the truth before a heinous master plot can be put into motion?

With a cast of familiar faces, new faces, and faces that have long since changed, Coalescence will fill in the missing pieces to the Shattered Glass story line, and bring the universe closer to its closure.

• A story featuring Immorticon called "False Equivalencies"
• A story featuring Maxima, the first Maximal and daughter of Fortress Maximus, called "Virtue Signals"
• A story featuing the Vok, called "Other Victims"

Nexus Knight wrote:Also, I'm pretty sure that's it for TCC prose. There's no more "Coming Soon" and considering it's closing soon...

I've transcribed the next chapter of the Gobots' journey to the best of my ability, so it should be up right away,

The ending is... Well, I don't know what to call it but unnerving.
I'd like to hear everyone's take on it.

I encourage those who have participated thus far to send their messages of support to #gobots.
Thanks go out to all those who lent their voice to the project!
