How time sneaks up on us! The AllSpark Almanac II is a mere twelve days away, and betwix now and then there is the juggernaut that is BotCon! So, without further ado, let's start with some previews for the upcoming Almanac.
I figured I'd start in an unusual direction; last year, the first preview images were tiny little snippets and sketches, designed to tease without giving too much away. This year, that'd be less effective; you all know approximately what the book will look like. Instead, how about some images that WON'T be in the book? Ideas and characters that we considered using but rejected for whatever reason: time, space, a better idea, etc.
To see these images along with detailed explanations, simply head over to Jim's blog at http://boltax.blogspot.com/

That last sentence is too long.
I'm glad the Mirage design wasn't used. He's one of my favorite characters and this makes him look like some kind of retardicon.
::EDIT::
Read the post and I was right. I would love to know what combination of drugs would lead one to think that Mirage ever looked like a frog.

Anyway, someone liked the KUP so here's the original drawing of him. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l296/ ... UPface.jpg

Thanks for stopping by and explaining this, Bill. Good luck with the sales of the book!
