FAQ -- last updated July 26, 2008:bulletred:

I don't need to compromise my principles because they don't have the slightest bearing on what happens to me anyway. -- Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes

Haven't updated in a few days, so might as well update this thing now.

Project updates for the curious:

Thundercracker's Glory -- Chapter 13 is complete and has been sent to the beta-reader. Expect it sometime in the next few days.

The Gathering Storm -- Will update this story next, but it will be delayed just a bit -- need to finish researching for my Transformers class first.

One-shot stories -- The sequel to "Breaking the Rules" is up next.

Drawing requests -- Going slowly but will finish sometime... For those of you who requested Animated characters, sorry if the pictures turn out crappy. There's a reason I mostly draw G1...

Episode reviews -- Expect a review of The Quintesson Journal sometime this weekend.

"Transformers: A History" class -- Currently researching. If anyone knows a good resource for information on the comic books, drop me a line please.

Soundwave costume -- Postponed until next year. Not sure I'm going to have time to make it this year. Ah well...

8. The crappy rushed ending to the otherwise great Hearts of Steel comic

"The Ultamite Guide to Transformers" might be a good help in your research. It covers a little bit of everything in the TF mythos. :nod:

Missing Link-*to Susan*Look, you've been letting this quack experiment on you for the past month.
Dr. Cockroach-I'm not a quack! I'm a mad scientist. There IS a difference.

Q: How many Transformers fans does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Eight. One to change it, and the rest to complain that the light bulb was so much better back in the 80s.

I support well-written, in-character fanfic!

The "Aren't you happy to see me?" moment in Decepticon in King Arthur's Court :rofl: That's one of my favorite episodes of all time.

"Megatron, hold your fire! It's me Starscream, we're back, we're back! What's the matter, aren't you glad to see us?" :la:

TFWiki.net is one place if you need comic research, namely the US and UK materials. If other comic releated topics and Japanese manga, TFArchive.com has a decent Comic section that helps.
