Perhaps it needed spaces.

We all have unfinished stuff kicking about. If only we could finish it and compile a big-assed anthology book.

If only. I can't explain how nerve-racking it is to have a book I started years ago still sitting there, making the progess of a sentence or two a day due to other things that need to be done. You know, eating, sleeping, showering, cleaning, time with the Mrs., time with the kiddo, working, chores, running here and there, taking care of the little one when mi amor needs me to, going to see friends in the fleeting moments the chance presents itself.

*Sigh* I'll get there someday. Hopefully readers will still give a **** about things like this.

I know exactly how you feel - if I could get just ONE uninterrupted week at the computer my book would be completed after 13 years. Something ALWAYS comes up, either taking your whole day away or too much of it to make it worth sitting down to write.
And unfortunately most no-one will give a crap about all your hard work.

(goes to hug Señior's Covenant, but then just extends hand for a manly shake of solidarity - which sounds rude)

It would explain it quite well, but the real reason he was so unsure of himself was that he took a Decepticon's word at face value and almost executed Prime on sight. When he realised his near-horrendous error, he took a much-needed hiatus on Earth and was promptly beaten to near-pulp by the most powerful Decepticon ever.

If that doesn't make you doubt yourself, then your name must be Prime!

Impy: thanks! I sketched out Magnus last night then inked him with a big F-off marker pen, then did the same for Impactor...I was only going to do a one-page strip, but on the way to work today I found myself sketching Magnus transforming and Impactor kicking ass, so I might do a second page of this tonight, just to free these images from my head.

It looks like someones used chalk - and the rough textured look adears itself so well to war its perfect.

Really love it!

Thank you. More can be found here:

[edit] while we're discussing Magnus's similarity to Prime, it might be interesting to consider Fusion, who was also very similar to Prime, as noted here: http://s90690880.onlinehome.us/jhiaxus/ ... fusion.htm.

Apart from looking kinda different in the two pics shown, was this guy called 'Fusion' 'cos his main gun looks like Megatron's fusion cannon?
Was it an attempt to create a yin to Prime's yang by making Fusion a Megsalike? And he was black - like the Nemisis Prime we seem to get all the time these days.
Just my thoughts from seeing these two pics...
