Writing's one of the more enjoyable hobbies I have. Imagination is a true gift to those that have an abundance of it, and I only wish I had more time to concentrate on my works. Fret not as the reason I don't have time is due to a demanding job, lovely wife, and my awesome little boy. ^_^

Date: 16/10/04 Title: Chapter 1: Female Transformers! Why?

An enjoyable analysis of a long-debated and highly controversial subject in the world of Transformers. I would like to toss in the unmentioned possibility concerning "female" Transformers though. Seeing as the Quintessons formerly enslaved the race for mass-production and marketing, is it not possible this is when feminine TFs were introduced/created to/in the population? The earliest female mentioned ever is Beta and her time was during the final days of the Occupation. Would it not be profitable to create form female-like programming, woman-like chassis, and the like as some buyers of the "hardware" may be interested in such designs?

This is a prototype I designed myself, sculpted in wax, and cast in plastic resin. It is fully functional, and can be fitted inside Soundwave.

I loved this piece the moment I saw it. I\'ve read fanfics concerning such a creature before, heck I even have one pending myself (let\'s hear it for dino lovers). An excellent toy that would likely have been a Cassettacon favorite had it been out in the 80\'s.

Intriguing Transformer design, though I don\'t quite know how to feel about the shell add-ons. Overall, very creative and I\'m a fan of reptiles so two thumbs up. I might add given the nature of the beast it might have been more suited to the claiming of Blaster.

The idea of this fanfic came from a friend of TFlive.com message board. What if the Autobots and Decepticons never awoke in the ark? What if Unicron attacked Cybertron while the Matrix resided in the deactivated Oprimus's chest? This Fanfic is on inter

Nicely done. A rehash without the rehashing. I love the better done what-ifs and this one's an enjoyable one. With all Earthen events out of the way and the original crew out of the picture I like how you've given a new bio to the "Terrible"bots (lol, clever). A bit brow raising at the Stunticons, but hey, it's your tale and its fun. Keep it coming.

Zero out of ten. Fair ranking. I've read all three and I can say they were horrid, especially Cian's continuation in the last two. The violence was an actual change in media that made sense and I had no qualms with, and the sub-plots were easy enough to keep up with as were the characters. But the story was written, well, badly. It was a rather cheestastic ending as well. Your final opinion says it all on the matter quite frankly.

Colored pencil drawing of Megatron on a 9 x 12 inch sheet of black Artagain paper. A first attempt in over 17 years to draw Megatron. The scan turned out darker than what it really is. Be gentle!!! :)
