Born an Autobot in 1984, I was surrounded by transforming robots (both Transformers and Go-Bots) from my earliest days. Years later, Beast Wars re-ignited my love for the franchise. Then, as news of the movie broke and the Classics line was released, I slipped fully into the madness that is true, full-on Transformers geekdom.
In my free time, I draw a lot. Mostly anything that catches my fancy, but I do a lot of Transformers art. A piece of my work made its way into Shout! Factory's fan art gallery contained within their G1 Transformers collection.
My art can be found here: http://superbdude1.deviantart.com/
Characters that should be retroactively made G1 characters
Here is a list of characters that have no G1 counterpart but deserve to be officially added to that universe:
- Bulkhead
- Slipstream
- Lockdown (though he has pretty much been added via the Drift mini-series)
- Lugnut
- Cybertron Defense Scattorshot
- Terradive
- Tomahawk
- Snowcat
- Breacher
- and, of course, all Go-Bots.
Personal Continuity (G1 told through Classics/Universe)
Pre-Classics (Universe)
- Primus and Unicron, two brothers representing the powers of creation and destruction were created.
- Primus went dormant in his planet mode, choosing to create new life to serve his will. These were the first Transformers.
- Unicron Travelled from dimension to dimension destroying worlds, absorbing energon, and collecting minions to build his army.
Classics
- Two small groups of Autobots and Decepticons came to Earth to continue an ageless war for dominance and energy. over time, more and more bots journeyed from Cybertron to aid their comrades.
Current history (Universe 2 - Generations/RTS)
- As Unicron made his way closer to our reality, the fabric of space was torn, and Unicron's army was able to infiltrate our universe. Also caught in the time-flux were various Autobots from various times and places. As these new bots were welcomed into the ranks of their respective sides, the ever growing storm of war raged on. With the stakes raised even more troops were called in from Cybertron. And rumors have been heard that Unicron himself is on his way...
Toys used in personal continuity
In an alternate future, Unicron and his forces have decimated Cybertron. Optimus Prime is dead. Rodimus Prime is dead. And the Matrix is destroyed. Springer has taken the lead of a ragtag group of Autobots, all of whom have had to make serious upgrades to survive. When Unicron came to our Universe, some of these Autobots were thrust through the rift in space with him. Only Optimus Prime knows their true identities, as they go by codenames to prevent paradoxes. They are:
- Roadbuster codename: Hardhead
Unicron's Army
A collection of decepticons and other evil bots from many universes and realities
-
Galvatron, leader of the group. In his reality, he was once Megatron. Unicron found him and upgraded him, making him his general in his crusade to conquer all realities. But something of Megatron remains... -
Crasher, Galvatron's femme fatal 2nd in command. Once a Renegade on Gobotron, she has gladly taken a position at Galvatron's right hand, though she may be more treacherous than she looks...
-
Cyclonus, Galvatron's most loyal troop. Lord of the skies and commander of a mighty fleet, Cyclonus would die for his cause. -
Buzzsaw's mind is in constant flux between many dimensions... he exists as Soundwave's minion, Waspinator, Cyclonus, and even the autobot Bumblebee in other realities. Exisiting as so many has driven him insane.
-
Runamuck was once a proud and beautiful specimen of modern technology, until Unicron turned him into the twisted monster he is today. Barely able to speak, he takes his rage out on any Autobot that comes across him. -
Sideways, interdimensional spy for Unicron. Only Unicron knows what Sideways is truly up to at any one time, and thats the way he likes it. -
Barricade, the brains of a two-bot team consisting of him and Dropshot. Despite his significant fire-power, he admires Prowl's alt-mode...
-
Drop Shot was known in his reality as Brawl, and he makes up the brawn of his team-up with Barricade.
-
Whereas Unicron secretly views his other minions as nothing but pawns, his true disciple is the Fallen. A being of true evil, when he is unleashed, it means Unicron is truely forcing his hand.
