I figured out how to reconcile the 3 different origins for the G1 Constructicons. It's a bit complicated so pay attention. 1: The Constructicons start out as normal TF's and they befriend Omega Supreme. 2: Megatron brainwashes them using the Robosmasher. 3: At some point before the Ark leaves Cybertron, Megatron sends the Constructicons back in time to build him, making his entire existence a paradox. 4: Due to the strain of the experimental time travel process and from building Megatron, the original Constructicons die shortly afterwards. 5: Later on Earth, Megatron builds a new set of Constructicons using the specs that he acquired when the Robosmash…

I was talking to a friend about how Cybertron got so screwed up in Megatrons absence. Here is how it went: Megatron: "I'm going to chase some Autobots. Shockwave, you are in charge" Shockwave: "Okay" A year passes... Shockwave: "This is pretty sweet" A million years pass... Shockwave: "Well this is cool but where did Megatron go?" Four million years passed. Megatron contacts Shockwave... Shockwave: "Hey, how's it going... I.. uh... well you see.. we ran out of energy awhile back so... could you send us something?" Megatron: "Ha yea have these cube things.... I'm staying on Earth because you didn't F us in energy here." Was this a good e…

I recently came across an animation key cel from the first aired episode series. Although I have dealt in animation cels before, I am a bit clueless about their values and rarity these days. I was wondering if any of you have some experience with them (grading their condition, going rate of value, their history, etc.)... I know that some are more difficult to find than others and it hinges a lot on the specific shot as to it's value. I also know that Transformers cels are more difficult to find than a lot of others because of a problem that they had at the warehouse that they were filed and stored in. Anyway, this is a picture of the cel in question. - …

Meh... although the last 4 minutes were cool. I'm not a fanzone fan. :tdown

Does it sometimes occur to you that the autobots/maximals are just as bad as preds/decepticons? Are the preds/decepticons just as good?

i want to see some pics of him from the comics. i know that he looks totally different then the toy. can some one post some pics or a link or something?

:tfevil There was three different beast wars line in the 1990's so if you could your own beast wars series what would it be? It coul be anything. New Maximals and Predacons, & New Locations

A discussion with a friend got me thinking about this. We were talking about favorite villains, and I mentioned Stascream, saying that he was impossible to kill, as he kept coming back. I realize now I may have been talking out of my backside, and wanted to confirm this here. The various Starscream characters have been killed lots of times, but has any death been permanent, i.e., at no other point in that show/comic/whatever, or any other show/comic/whatever within that continuity, is he resurrected? I know in the original animated continuity, he dies in TFTM, but then comes back in season 3 as a ghost twice, but then gets exiled into space. Then he shows up in Beast …

There are many versions based on G1 characters. Each one is different in a way and often appear in another world than the original one. Even the new series and the movie appear to have no connection to the old G1 or each other.Why can't they do the same with the beast wars and machines series? :tfhuh I know they had beast wars II series which didn't seem to have any connection to either one. I often thought the beast machines shouldn't have any connection to the beast wars although some of characters were the same. It sometimes made wonder if it was since some characters were differ in a way beside appearences. Shouldn't Hasbro start a new beast wars/beast machines seri…
