And as you can see Optimus' swan dive has left him in a bad way, well what's left of him.

Trouble is, you're trying to convince TF fans of 40 years that Optimus Prime is dead and won't return. If you'd put this to us in 1985, sure, we'd have believed you. But you could vaporise him, and we know he'd walk it off - if not today, then a year on. But for the sake of the story, I'll try to blank my memory of the last 40 years and get into the spirit of it.  Martin |

Ah, I was wondering how you were going to wrap that up in one page. You're not.
Swine.

Martin Fanfiction, I am not beholden to Hasbro or any corporate need to preserve him. If I want to kill him, he's dead, I'm under no obligation to bring him back. Whether he is/stays dead is entirely up to me, I already have the mechanism in place to bring him back, but as ever I will see where the story takes me when I pick up the baton for Part 3. |

Ah, I was wondering how you were going to wrap that up in one page. You're not. Swine. Yep, always in mind to have the two crater images, there was a few pages inbetween with some toing and froing from the Autobots planned, but I junked them as unnecessary, and let me get the 1, 2 punch effect with the pages. |

Have started editing the early pages to make them more consistent with the later ones, for the impending print collection.

Fifth took a bit longer than expected, plus was away all weekend, but 6th is nearly done, so coming along nicely.

about 10 pages left to edit, and a few minor tweaks on a few other. Then a cover and we will be good to print.

2 pages to fully edit, then it gets sent to a couple of trusted colleagues for the once over, meanwhile I will be doing the snag list.
Coming in at a robust 44 page total unless i do endpapers in which case it gets bumped to 48, but I don't think I will bother this time.

Done, now with others to scan over.
I will start edits with fresh eyes tomorrow. With any luck can send off to print at the weekend.

I'll have copies of this with me at Minicon, and then will have them available in the webstore when I get back. I went for 44 pages in the end, didn't want endpapers as I wanted that last page to breathe on it's own.
