Third Installment of TFCC Beast Wars: Uprising Prose Story Now Available

And of course, because WHY NOT, Windblade.

I honestly hope to God that's just a cover cameo.

If you read it, you will discover that it is not windblade....
Theres also a picture of a character within that looks like the Beast Hunters Bulkhead mold, but isn't Bulkhead.

So in other words, it's following the Beast Wars: Uprising tradition of giving new body designs to preexisting characters based on preexisting toy designs that originally belonged to the toys of other characters.

Any chance we might get a Club toy of Stiletto from a remold/repaint of Windblade?

Ladies and gentlemen, Ask Vector Prime has given us our first official FEMALE Optimus Prime (and Scourge)! - https://www.facebook.com/AskVectorPrime/posts/712416625556977

Dear Vector Prime,
What universe were the Spychangers who were warped from their home universe and fought on the ice planet against Reptillion from?
.
.
Originally, they were from Viron 1103.12 Gamma. In this timeline, Optimus Prime downsized her troops after Sky-Byte inadvertently rendered nearly all energon on Earth toxic. At first, Megatron and the Predacons laughed at these smaller adversaries and applauded Sky-Byte's brilliance. He was more than happy to claim credit for his accident. However, a commando strike by Daytonus and X-Brawn soon rendered the Predacon's stockpile of uninfected Energon inert. The war ground down as they ran out of power. Only Scourge was able to use the Spy Changer upgrade on herself, and she alone was no match for the thirteen Autobot Spy Changers active on Earth.

This is the Universe 2003 Spychanger Optimus Prime from the OTFCC 2004 Voice Actor Drama, who was voiced Michelle Carolus.


The Scourge of this universe is also counted as female due to the cloned nature of the character.

"Viron 1103.12 Gamma" refers to the RiD 2001 universe witnessed in a space bridge portal seen in the Armada Dreamwave comic issue #17 "Worlds Collide, Part 4 of 4".

This Ask Vector Prime post is amazing! - https://www.facebook.com/AskVectorPrime/videos/716462811819025/

Dear Vector Prime,

Whatever became of Sky-Byte after Galvatron and the other Predacons and Decepticons were captured?
.
.
Dear Oceanic Observer.

Perhaps I should let him tell you in his own words.

Clicking above link plays a video recording of Peter Spellos in character as Sky-Byte answering the question of his fate following the 2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon.

So are we supposed to get some more Beast Wars Uprising prose fiction, or was Burning Bridges the last?

There will be more Beast Wars Uprising prose starting next year!

WAAHAAHAAHOOOOOOOOEY!!!!!!

Wait. The Dark Heart of Sandokan and The Razor's Edge (but which is still accessible via this link) are missing.

And Wreckers: Finale Part II is unclickable.

Thanks this was just what I needed to catch up on some old ones.

That's really cool that it's all available in one spot. With that and Sabr's list as a guide, I can go try to catch up on some of this material at long last.

Speaking of that list, I'm trying to work on expanding it as there are several things missing from it (both old and recent). I just got the 3H section reorganized and with just about everything from that era added in, but tackling the Fun Pub section's gonna be a BIG endeavor.

Preview of Transformers Timelines #11 Diamond Edition cover, and a tease of what's to come in 2016.

The retail edition of Transformers Timelines Issue 11 featuring an all-new cover by Matt Frank and Thomas Deer will be in comic shops 01/27/16. This will be our last issue of Timelines at retail as we have a new exciting offering planned for BotCon 2016. Stay tuned as details of next years comic partnership will be announced in the near future!

Like past Diamond Editions, Timelines #11 will feature a few extended bios of characters which appeared in the comic/as convention exclusives!

Directly from the Transformers Collectors' Club ambassador to Seibertron.com, and comics writer TF_JW, we have a look at the cover art for the Transformers Timelines #11 Diamond Edition cover, plus a couple of things to add to what's to come in 2016. Keep in mind the recent membership announcement, and it definitely sounds like times are a-changin'. Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Awesome cover!!

Hate to be that guy.... But, isn't that the wrong Lio Convoy? In the bottom left of the comic cover it looks like 'normal colored' White Lio with the Gold mane. But isn't it supposed to be the Blue/Red Lio with the Silver mane? (See attached picture for reference)

Andrew Hall (writer of the Leo Prime bio for Takara Tomy's Arms Micron/TF Prime toy line) and I had been plotting Lio Convoy/Leo Prime's journey through the Multiverse to his new home.

During the travels he showed up in Axiom Nexus in red and blue, but changed to white and gold. And from that body transitioned to the Arms Micron one. (Keeping in mind he's originally from 10,000 years in the future and is doing some time traveling and universe hopping between these bodies).

So yes... different colors. But not necessarily wrong... if you allow for some author intent that probably would never see print.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the bit of backstory. I really enjoy The Convoy and I'm trying to collect all the members. If they keep changing forms, then that'll be more more toys for me to buy. (Oh no, how horrible!)

Still waiting to see the other 'classified members' show up, by the way. (*hint*hint*)

Is the order code for this available? No way my shop's gonna just order copies for the heck of it, and I would like to get my order in soon-ish. Those cut offs are brutal on IDW stuff, I'm sure there's probably only a short window to order this as well.

Any reason to not order it from the club directly? I have for the last few Diamond editions. I'm sure there will be copies at Botcon too, if you're attending.

Your comic book shop might still be able to order the issue. Here is the information: http://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/NOV151424

If not, Flux Convoy is correct about the Club offering the issue in the Club Store.

So any word on getting Razor's Edge and/or Dark Heart of Sandoken?
Also what about Wreckers Finale? (Granted I already have a PDF of Wreckers Finale, just thought I'd ask anyway).

I'd just be curious to know what the hang-up on these has been. For the first two, it's possible that they'd been forgotten, but for Wreckers Finale, a slot's even been created.

The hang up has been the holidays, mostly.

NEW prose is up in the Fiction Section of the Club's website. The Spatiotemporal Challengers are here!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFINALLY!!!!

First announced at BotCon 2013, finally realized now!

From the TFCC ambassador to the Seibertron.com boards TF_JW we have news of a new prose story on the Club's website featuring The Spatiotemporal Challengers! Created by Andrew Hall/Hydra and featuring art by Hayato Sakamoto, both in English and Japanese - and can be found directly here.

I would like to see a set of these

(Edit: If you are talking about toys and not more stories to go with this one, then...) Some of these characters already exist as toys!


But would be nice to see the others, and maybe a reissue of the above set because it is very expensive on the secondary market.

Maybe new toys of these guys with the Generations molds.

RiddlerJ wrote:Maybe new toys of these guys with the Generations molds.

But that's only doable for the three on the left. There aren't any Generations molds for the body-types of Seaspray, Beachcomber, or Hubcap.

Not with that attitude there aren't.

I hear you though. New Beachcomber is way overdue, and the Energon one just doesn't work for Classics.

However, the toys in that 6-pack you posted above are all perfectly doable:

Bad Boy - Combiner Wars Legends Powerglide
Bug Bite - Thrilling 30 Legends Bumblebee
Treds - Combiner Wars Legends Warpath
Path Finder - Thrilling 30 Legends Cosmos
Road Ranger - Combiner Wars Legends Huffer
Small Foot - Thrilling 30 Legends Gears

There was the Universe Beachcomber and HFTD Sea Spray. And they probably could just use the Bumblebee mold for Hubcap.

Legion-sized Beachcomber and Voyager-sized (Movieverse) Sea Spray are drastically different from the Generations Legends class size. Their sizes would be all outta whack with the others.

Thanks for the additional links, Sabr!

Oh, forgot about that.





In other news, I think I've finally completed extending the BotCon/TCC fiction list on the front page! EVERYTHING is finally listed!

Though, I do still see some areas of improvement I could make to the list, like some of those bolded black ones aren't all "unknown" or necessarily "unimportant" continuities (some of them are part of their own grouped continuity, or part of other known continuities that I couldn't fit into the color code), and some of the ones lacking in links might be out there on the Internet somewhere and I just haven't found them to link to them yet.

I also think I could possibly add all the issue numbers to each piece magazine fiction to help make them easier to find than by just going by the release date.

And I'm sure there's other little improvements I could make to the list as well, and would be open to suggestions on how make said improvements, but for now, I'm finally all caught up.

The Wreckers: Finale Parts 1 and 2 are now up!

http://transformersclub.com/TCCprose.cfm

I have a question about the Wings universe that I haven't seen addressed anywhere thus far. On the wiki, it repeatedly states that the story, "Theft of the Golden Disk" is not part of the Wings fiction while it's followup story, "Dawn of Futures Past" is. Does anyone know why this is? I can't find any supporting information online.

Part 2 of Spatiotemporal Challengers is now online:

http://transformersclub.com/TCCprose.cfm

Our small band of heroes (and maybe a couple of baddies mixed in) have come across a new Cybertronian acquaintance. He seems to be an Autobot but something isn't quite right...

The next TCC prose story is now online!

http://transformersclub.com/TCCprose.cfm

"The Truth That We Make" is written by Justin Severson and illustrated by Paul Vroman. and tells the story of TFSS 5.0 Counterpunch. This is the first of the prose stories that will focus on the TFSS 5.0 characters, you can expect more to follow!

Did not see this one coming.

Though, I'm still behind on the previous two. Gotta play catch up.

I read through some of these comics for the first time tonight and I must say, I really like them! I have never read one of these but now that I have, it's awesome! Especially the shattered glass stories. Man I wish they would do a whole shattered glass toyline
