Evening gang.
Dave Tree has kindly offered TMUK a space at Roll Out, Roll Call which I have of course taken him up on. Now Matt has our TFNation fanzine needs sorted out with his splendid Rock Lords project.
It's only fair we have something spiffy for RORC.
I'll open the floor to suggestions, I have a few ideas myself though but am willing to be blown away by your suggestions, and Ralph's inevitable demand to do something involving Juan and the Mechanic.

But just to prove I do actually have an idea.
RetroGeneration 2 - a sequel of sorts to Graham's splendidly edited zine from the Birmingham Informal Gathering 4.
A nice anthology piece of G2 goodness. Again, limited space but scope for plenty of contributors!

Just gonna throw this to the masses: Since it's RORC, an anthology mag with as much Joe and MotU as TF?

Spoken to Ed about this elsewhere,
I think some He-Man content would be good, but we want to show off TMUK and what it does, He-Man isn't a regular part, but I think some faux He-Man toy pack-in comics would be a treat though, and the more stuff on the table the merrier.

Okay guys, I feel the answer is staring us in the face. Let's examine the facts:
1: This is a GI Joe/Transformers convention
2: Andy wants this to be a G2 fanzine
3: There was a GI Joe/Transformers crossover at the start of G2.
The fanzine should be a Transformers/GI Joe crossover sequel set at the end of G2, detailing the battle as GI Joe and the Transformers team up to repel Jihaxus's invasion of Earth! And everyone can tell a bit of the overall story.
(I just want to write a story of GI Joe employing Dr Mindbender to rebuild all the Autobots Megatron wrecked in the original crossover and bling them all up G2 style)

GI Joe witnessing Jhiaxus dropping the 'big one', as Grimlock put it. Some die. Most quit. The others are irradiated and becoome even more alive.

A post G2 TF/Joe crossover would be more interesting.
After all as a major city has been wiped out by a faction claiming to be Decepticons, and Optimus is now insistent following his contact with The Swarm that they must all assume Primus' mantle as guardians of life. That is not going to sit well.
You can still get your Mindbender story in there, but we actually have a more interesting backstory to hang the magazine on.

I'd love to contribute anything - let me know what is needed.
(The He-Man pack in comic idea sounds fun - especially if it is in the style of the first ones where they speak all Thor-like!)

Regards the He-Man pack in comics, I was thinking we might want to do a couple of them. Given the range in tone with the early ones, to the Filmation era and beyond.

Andy So are we talking about doing lots of mini comics here? That's a lot of work unless they're mini-mini (like uh, 4 pages, 1 sheet folded in half) |

Not lots and lots but a couple and yes they would be mini-mini as the pack in comics actually were.

A wee He-Man mini comic would be amazing. Up for that.

Was thinking they would be a6. Eight pagers with a cover and either six or seven pages of story and if it's a six pager then the back page being a fake advert for toys.

Okay - we have a title (thanks Mr Kiernan!)
Transformers VS GII Joe: GENERATION 2
AFTERSHOCKS!
Matt is working on a text story just now. As with any proper decent TMUK zine, we'll have some strips, profiles and if anyone wants to write an article or two by all means.
Ostensibly set in the aftermath of G2 Issue 12, but flashbacks to the climactic battle are of course, welcome and encouraged.
I have a rough idea for a strip, not really got it in place yet - it does involve the resolution of Ratchet (not a surprise) and a cementing of Prime/Megatron's allicance.
Following Frisco's destruction, humanity is not big on Transformers and while the Joe's might have had some respect/comradeship with them. An entire city was wiped out by a group claiming to be Decepticons and now Optimus is friends with some of them.

Don't know enough about New Adventures to commit to that though I'd be up for having a go at drawing a classic style mini He-Man comic.

I am the one person who liked New Adventures of He-Man. He had a transparent neon yellow shield and a helmet and a laser sword and a ponytail.

I've almost battered the story synopsis into shape for my effort.
It features Optimus Prime, Megatron, Lt. Falcon and Snake Eyes and takes place in the aftermath of Issue 12 at the Decepticon Fortress Base.

i helped Andy, the erotic interlude between G2 Ultra Magnus and Trypticon was all my idea.

I've never been able to get into Joe, so anything I do will need heavy assistance in terms of ref.

I stand by to assist.
I am sure Phil can also be called upon to provide Joe continuity!
