Imagine if ...

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

I don't think I'm familiar enough with the recent trades and comics (or not at all familiar) but I'll watch and enjoy :)

I place myself amongst them, if you give me the time and a pay check for doing it. BF. Sprunker (though he might channel too much Furman for my tastes). Jack. MV. Probably others.

Snarlz? Well....how many "*" words are allowed in a comic anyway?

Just read a comment over at IDW that implies that this was proposed specicially to decide who we shall back to depose Costa.

Yes. That is the plan. Watch out Mikey boy.

I think we should refer to our imaginary improv ongoing as TF: Cancertron.

Would this thread go in Fan Art or should we just put it in here? I don't think I've ever been to the transfans fan fiction board. It smelled like Predabot.

Did I make this beginning too convoluted?

Someone want to give another go at starting it?

I don't think so no. It works kind of well, sets up several key issues/situations nicely anyway, in a teasing kind of way.

And I like the Jazz subplot.

Yaya, you wanted Furman ADD-like tossing of subplots willy-nilly, dincha?

Legion, Rob, go ahead and stick something in. Make it your own.

Uh...

Ironically enough, it's not the first time I've said that.

Uh...

EDIT--Rob, "I can die happy"--******* awesome.

******* awesome reason for a billion facsimiles. I'm glad somebody knows where that subplot is going.

Legion, nice use of subsubplot in the end there! I like this.

Maybe you could introduce the HAWT SEX subplot. Facsimiles and avatars, but the boobs are real. No, really!
