Yeah, if you look at my original post, I made it three days ago. And I'm almost sure it's been up longer than that.

But hey! First news credit! Awesome! Thanks!

I've tried, I've really tried to read these prose stories, but they're... not very good. Oh well.

That's unfortunate to hear. The Club tried to vary the writers and genres/styles across the prose to widen appeal. Especially this year with seven writers working on three universes.

I've been loving them. Only one I wasn't able to finish reading through was Fractyl's story - and tbh I'm not sure why - but the others I've all found amazing in terms of storytelling merit, enjoyable characters, and just pure utter fanwank.

I've been enjoying them too. The story with Counterpunch as well as the first appearance of Wreckage were 2 good ones to me

Alpha Bravo + Offroad was my personal favourite.

Oh yes, that was a good one. I love Toxitron too. He is a great character to me

Nice to see folks actually talking about and enjoying the prose stories, as those don't seem to get a whole lot of love around here, it seems.

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?

Where are the Shattered Glass 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.

Well damn

I really enjoyed Counterpunch's story. It had the right amount of mystery for a Transformers spy story to have. And I'm partial to stories in the first person, so I found it funnier than the others. I also seem to enjoy things about characters that don't get much of the spotlight, especially mysterious ones like Punch/Counterpunch.

The BW Uprising stories are also very interesting, probably because it's very different. I don't think there's been any TF series quite like them. I appreciate all the references and back stories they've created (also, Lio Convoy ). If y'all haven't read them, I think you oughta. There's no clear "bad guy" a lot of the time. The Builders are the obvious antagonists, but they also have Maximals fighting Maximals that have no other choice than to help the Builders. It's really interesting.

Sorry to hear that. Why in particular you think they're bad?

The next Beast Wars: Uprising story is now online!

"Not All Megatrons" is Part 1 of the BW:U finale.

He forgot to put the synopsis-

After years of striving, Megatron has consolidated his hold on Cybertron's underworld. But even this magnificent accomplishment feels paltry when weighed against the mighty deeds of his long-gone namesake. Determined to make his mark on the world, he takes advantage of the chaos of the Grand Uprising to take the first, bold steps towards the next level of the evolution of the Maximals and Predacons alike.

Not gonna lie, I'm deeply disappointed by the choice to title these prose stories after SJW terminology. I understand they're puns, but really? Trigger Warning? Microaggression? Not All Megatrons? It's just inflammatory and pointless.

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.
