I'll offer to chuck something in on the meta-physics of the show, and how it actually uses proper metaphysical beliefs as part of its plot (the whole Qi-channelling thing) - and highlighting why this makes it somewhat unique in Transformers cartoons, if something a little bit more "coffee shop metaphysics" would be welcome?
I strongly doubt it would reach anywhere near three pages, so don't worry. :-)

I know that TFNation are planning a theme again, it might be worth seeing if they are prepared to let us in on the secret in order for us to tailor the fanzine to their theme. For instance this year it was animated, they did a follow up comic and had their own character drawn in animated style for much of their advertising.

But whatever we go with I'd be happy to illustrate a short comic if someone wants to write a script.

For instance this year it was animated, they did a follow up comic and had their own character drawn in animated style for much of their advertising. TFN hat on: 1 - NO SPOILERS!!! 2 - Animated wasn't the theme this year. We didn't have a specific theme as such as there are lots of aspects to cater for, while we might go for themes in terms of aesthetics and approaches, we've tried to avoid being too narrow in focus to avoid alienating groups who might not be into a certain aspect. We were looking at doing an exclusive, and the Animated comic was the right one at the right time. Next year, well...all will be revealed. Genericon wasn't done in an Animated style, until the lovely Josh Perez drew her that way the other night, she has been done in chibi style. (I get to be protective, I'm one of the two Dads!). TMUK hat on. Oh my no, being a slave to a convention theme is far too restrictive, and we'd run the risk of not standing out. TMUK and TFN hats on. The more diverse the better, we want to see as many aspects of Transformers celebrated each year. Andy |

Personally I prefer to set the trends, not follow them!  How many pages were you thinking about, I'm sure someone would want to write something! (I'm always up for writing but don't want to go bagsying all the talent as editor!) |

Can you coordinate with Fortmax2002 to make sure you're not covering the same ground (don't think so as he's doing an in-universe piece about Godmasters) but just to be safe! |

I have some Masterforce figs with boxes if photos are needed. Got all the Pretenders except Blood, Doubleclouder, Wilder, Bullhorn and one of the engines. Loose, I have Buster, Hydra and Hotspark. I know folk with the other figures too, hopefully with boxes. Oh wow!! My only concern with photos at the moment are that currently it'll be a b/w mag so they wouldn't come out well, BUT if I can wrangle colour I'll let you know as that would definitely be good! |

I've been keeping quiet because I'm struggling to come up with a decent idea to contribute to this. The best I've come up with are something linewide, looking at how it stands on the journey to Takara TF essentially being a different line or something more specifically on GodBomber/God Ginrai. However TMUK and TFN hats on. The more diverse the better, we want to see as many aspects of Transformers celebrated each year. Andy I'd love to do the "20 years of BWUK and BWII" Fanzine idea I had. But it's been 23 years since I last edited anything and I really haven't got a clue how to go about the physical production of a mag! |

Will have a think about the comic - probably something to do with the Headmaster Juniors.

I think I've nearly got around everyone with a catchup on where they are - if not I'm aiming for an Easter deadline.
