TRANSMASTERS CHRISTMAS 2007 SPECIAL COMIC
Transformers Classics Ultra Clause
Another of my late works. I hope you enjoyed some of it. I wanted more, I always want more, but time did not allow it. So here we are now in a new year, 2008. I look forward to seeing more of the Transformers Animated. I was able to catch the special by looking it up on YouTube. I liked the fact that they used some G1 footage at the start and there were other gems for us G1 fans (like seeing Spike, Carly and Daniel in the shot where they talk of new Detroit). Not sure I like the role reversal between Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, but we'll see. Starscream kicks bot and I actually enjoyed his devious streak in the episode. (But he couldn't fix the Nemisis in 50 solar cycles???) I can't wait to see the how Megatron comes back. The Autobot group better grow up or get some more muscle on Earth fast, if Starscream alone can blow through them they'll need it. Overall, if you haven't checked out Animated I'd say give it a shot. The look on Optimus' face when Sahri tells him where organic life comes from was precious. It's cute and should be good to bring a few younger fans about.
I'm not certain why Hasbro/Takara Tomy delayed the next wave of Movie toys. Which has also delayed the release of the Animated toy line. I think it's a bit dumb to have the toys come out so late from the time they want to initially have the show released. As for my wanting to buy them, I'm so far only thinking of perhaps 4 main characters. The larger version of Optimus Prime, Megatron (still debating cybertron or earth modes), Bumblebee and Starscream. Although, that ninja Prowl may be growing on me and of course Blackarachnia's a possibility.
So, schedules for 2008? I'm almost afraid to set any up at this time. So far I haven't done very well at keeping to them. Life just keeps getting in the way. Would anyone object to going from the 4 times a year (which I blew off the first year) down to a 3 time a year? So, if the next issue of the comic (Issue 6, the christmas special doesn't count) would then be due by the end of March. Next Magazine (6) would be due by the end of April. Issue 7 of the comic by the end of July, Issue 7 of Magazine by the end of August. Issue 8 of the Comic due end of Octoboer, Issue 8 of the Magazine by end of November. Of course, that's all tentative, but a begining outline.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
