Our local Transformers Collector's Club representative, TF_JW was nice enough to stop by the boards and let us know of the new story line accompanying the magazine in 2016.
TF_JW wrote:The TCC Magazine 2016 story line has been announced! "Transformers: Of Masters and Mayhem" takes place after the events of Another Light, as it follows the Classicsverse humans and Autobot Pretenders as they make the most of their new world.
The humans from the Classicverse have had their share of other worldly experiences since the Transformers first arrived in 1984. They have seen the war come and go, they have seen their planet taken from their home universe and transported to another, and then they even found themselves removed from the very planet they had always called home!
It has been five years since that day. The humans now have a new earth, a new home, one that is mostly at peace and one that is free of the Transformers! Or so they think... Next year, exclusively in the pages of the TCC Magazine, an exciting new 36 page story begins with Issue 67. Can the humans every truly be free of the war involving the Transformers, or will they always be at the mercy Of Masters and Mayhem!

They may be getting ready for the (Head) Titan masters figures, and doing their own exclusive versions of these.

Transformers definitely needs to focus more on the humans and their plight amid the alien robot war.

Uh, guys? That's Crossblades, Vroom, and Metalhawk, the Autobot Mega Pretenders, in the upper-left corner, and down at the bottom-left is Spike Witwicky, Headmaster of Fortress Maximus.
The woman at the bottom is Lisa, who was an ally of Spike in Galvatron II's dark alternate future of Marvel G1 issue #67 "Rhythms of Darkness!", so she's the only one in that pic who we know for sure to be a purely human character.
The older guy in the center seems to be someone new, but some think he might be a Decepticon Pretender, like Thunderwing in a new shell or something.
Get a grip, people.

I love how in the comic Bludgeon's swords are some kind of short sword and yet the toy swords look like something Fort Max would use to attck Trypticon with... from the next county...
Query: In this iteration then, does this mean the Targetmaster figs are gonna be humans instead of Nebulans?

Nice to see that the FSS 4.0 figures are going to get a storyline, though I'm not sure if having the focus on humans was the best choice, mostly in terms of fan reception.
Hey, some human characters have actually been good additions to the show/comic they were in. Particularly in Prime: Agent Fowler in particular was awesome, and MECH were surprisingly menacing for human villains (though I'll admit the last two MECH episodes feel like they were originally intended to be parts of a longer arc that got shortened).

I'll just highlight your own word and leave it at that.
You may have missed the text portion.
References to the humans highlighted in comparison to references to the Transformers.
And they were just that - additions. The text portion heavily implies an extensively human-centric arc. If so, this would, like the Movieverse, make the Transformers the "additions".

All the Autobots (and five of the Decepticons) in that poster are humans in some form or another, just like the Autobot Humans in the "Of Masters and Mayhem" poster.
It's even a given in the title "Of Masters and Mayhem". "Masters" as in "Headmasters", "Targetmasters", "Powermasters" etc. And we see three Mega Pretenders there as well.
This story is picking up from the end of "Another Light", so we're going to see what became of the Pretenders, Headmaster Spike, etc., not some random civilians of no importance.
Posted by Sabrblade on January 3rd, 2016 @ 8:14am CST
Do you honestly think that the story is actually going to focus on Average Joe nobodies and not the Autobot Humans we see in the poster itself? The poster's even designed as an obvious homage to Masterforce's poster and that was both a human-centric series and one of the movie beloved (by virtually everyone who watched it) TF cartoons of all time.Deathsanras wrote:You may have missed the text portion.

That the movieverse humans have gotten as much screen time as they have seems like a secondary problem, with the main problem being that even five minutes is more screen time than it takes for any of the movieverse humans to wear out their welcome.

Why are people reacting so much? It's focusing on humans as a way of letting us see what it's like for the autobots currently disguised as humans (you know, robots in disguise that old moniker). Sarblade goes our of his way to explain things and people still react like there's going to be no transformers in it.
As for comparisons to the movieverse, come on guys it's almost been ten years since the first one, long enough for everyone to know why it was done the way it was. That and this isn't really the place for that

This is more along the lines of what I'm talking about. I just wish that non-Autobot humans didn't have as large roles as they do.
EDIT: Most of the time, I don't like it when humans have main roles, but Fowler is the exception.

While agree that this probably isn't the place, I do want to say that knowing why something happened does not always make it easier to take.
That said, I agree that the quantity and prevalence of human characters is not, in and of itself, enough to ruin anything. (At the risk of opening another can of worms, I do quite enjoy Rescue Bots, which often gets rather human-centric itself.)
I like a number of the human characters too, but they're mostly from Animated, Prime, and Rescue Bots. (The RiD2015 humans have thus far disappointed me, and whoever decided not to bring Raf back wasn't using their best judgment.)
I know there's no way in hell it could happen, but the human figure I'd spring for is Agent Fowler. Heck, if they decide to copy a human or two between continuities like they do for bots (including putting bots from later eras, like Bulkhead, in new G1 stuff), I think Agent Fowler would be a natural fit for the storyline described. (Bonus points if he gets another opportunity to tell Starscream where to shove it. Actually, bonus points for that in general.)

As for all the others that were seen back in Marvel G1 (as Classics Earth was from an offshoot of Marvel G1), if they weren't on Classics Earth back when it got sent to the Shatteredverse, then they probably all died when the Classicsverse imploded.
As for Gigatron, if he survived the ordeal of "Another Light", he's presumably alive and well on New Cybertron. But if he didn't survive "Another Light", then he might be dead. Either way, this new story will be set on an Earth in another universe, so Gigatron most likely won't be in this story anyway.
Would people still object if the one pure human in this was someone like Dirk Manus or Jessica Morgan instead?

While not impossible, Classicsverse Starscream was no longer a Pretender, and since we don't know where he was when the Classicsverse blew up, he might be dead by now.Randomus wrote:I'm thinking Starscream (minus spiky armor).
The movieverse comparisons don't even make sense, here. This isn't the movieverse, it's the Club. They know exactly how this fandom feels about the movies and know darn well better to not make the same mistakes as the movies.

Kinda funny how a lot of the complainers are known to be anti-TFCC and wont be reading this anyway, they just want to stir up crap.
I like Pretenders and Masters so I'm fine with this. I've also never really had an issue with human interaction in the franchise. I mean, half of "robots in disguise" is robots turning into things, but the other half is the humans, the phrase is meaningless without them.
I can easily see this being another G.I. Joe figure crossover thing like the last two and I don't think that's an entirely bad thing.
As for the mystery guy in the center, we are missing one announced club character that isn't on the cover: Armada Skywarp. The dark complexion, black clothes and white in his hair really gives off that vibe. Sure, he has no purple and is wearing a green shirt, but the shells rarely looked like the figure inside them.

I'd love to see those humans get figures, too. Lord knows they deserve to get some good plastic representation. So G1 animated, Animated, Prime and Rescue Bots for the 3.75/4-inch figure line?

And give us some more G1 human figures like how you did Marissa! I want a Spike and Carly, dammit!
I like a number of the human characters too, but they're mostly from Animated, Prime, and Rescue Bots. (The RiD2015 humans have thus far disappointed me, and whoever decided not to bring Raf back wasn't using their best judgment.)
I know there's no way in hell it could happen, but the human figure I'd spring for is Agent Fowler. Heck, if they decide to copy a human or two between continuities like they do for bots (including putting bots from later eras, like Bulkhead, in new G1 stuff), I think Agent Fowler would be a natural fit for the storyline described. (Bonus points if he gets another opportunity to tell Starscream where to shove it. Actually, bonus points for that in general.)

Is there any news on how the "All memberships will terminate with the December 2016 issue" thing effects those whose membership would end before then under normal circumstances? Will the remaining issues be thrown in, and if not, what will it cost to get them? Because I'm not inclined to pay the price of a full subscription for two magazines.

From the tumblr of artist Matt Frank, behold the Raptoricons!
Thrashclaw ("Thrash" for short, the leader), Shred (the playful youngest one), Slice (the cold brooding one), and Gnash (the unstable one).
All from the prose story "Life Finds A Way" (with Gnash and Thrash receiving profiles in Issue #70 of the TCC magazine), and all females, too!

It looks to me like their transformation schemes might all be based on those of some preexisting characters/figures.
Thrash's = BW season 1 Megatron
Shred's = BW non-Transmetal Rhinox
Slice's = not sure yet
Gnash's = Classics Grimlock

The TCC is celebrating the tenth anniversary of Transformers Animated a little early with an issue dedicated to the series. Including a look at some of the conceptualized characters and plot lines that would have been in Season 4. Also a new Transformers Animated comic strip written by Derrick J. Wyatt with art by Josh Perez.

Before I scrolled to the bottom of the pic and saw the Animated logo, my mind immediately went to the six-page preview comic for e-HOBBY Legends Convobat that had Megalligator wearing that helmet for one scene.

Fellow Seibertronians, we have some extremely exciting news for Animated fans tonight! In very early anticipation of the tenth anniversary of Transformers Animated next year, the upcoming October/November issue of the Transformers Collectors' Club magazine is set to feature the unfortunately cancelled Season 4 in it's limelight! This feature includes a look at Character Concepts and Plot-lines that would have happened in Season 4, but most excitedly of all, the issue will feature a brand new Transformers Animated comic written by Derrick J. Wyatt - who was the art director, lead character designer, and a color stylist on the cartoon - and with art by Josh Perez, whose recent work includes IDW's Robots in Disguise/Transformers and Dark Cybertron. This news comes directly from board user TF_JW of TFCC, whose post can be seen below! Join us in the Energon Pub Forums to tell us what you think!

Oh my god you have no idea how excited I am about thiiiiiis! Animated was my second favourite Transformers cartoon just behind Beast Wars - and even then the two are extremely close in quality to the point I often have trouble deciding which one I like more - so the news we're getting more fiction is just so... aaaaah I'm excited hahaha

Please let this be the start of a regular thing! I know it can't, because the club losing their license would disrupt it anyway, but this news gives me hope...
Posted by Bumblevivisector on October 11th, 2016 @ 9:05pm CDT
Agree 1000%! As much as I'd like to just move on and enjoy what's come after, the current RID cartoon keeps giving us all these moments where it acts like it wants to be Animated, but can't quite pull it off, making me scream, "Then why not just resurrect Animated?!? You're back on Cartoon Network in the States, the Aligned Continuity experiment has splintered, why not just do another restart that jumps back a few years?"Kurona wrote:Oh my god you have no idea how excited I am about thiiiiiis!

Hopefully the season 4 info will be something in addition to what both the AllSpark Almanac II and The Complete AllSpark Almanac already show and tell us about season 4.
As for the new Animated comic, maybe another season 3.5 thing like "Moving Violations", "The Stunti-Con Job", and "The Return of Blurr" were?

I also think this is very cool. I'd love to here about the cancelled fourth season, I grew up on Animated so the idea of hearing more fiction on it is exciting.
