Behold, the most recent things I have unleashed upon the world!

Yeah, I wouldn't be impressed either.

BotCon 2008 - 14 of 14

Me with Simon Furman. I've reaped the whirlwind!

Once again, the urge strikes me...

Tue Nov 10, 2009, 5:40 PM
"Transformers" fans no doubt know of IDW's recent All Hail Megatron series. Same fans no doubt know that All Hail Megatron, and most of the stuff produced by IDW since it started up, has been met with little if any enthusiasm.

No surprise, but I'm among those fans.

I have nothing at all against the parties involved in its production. Guido Guidi and the other artists involved in the main series get nothing but my respect, especially Guidi having not had a lot of lead time. I do, however, feel that Shane McCarthy needed a lot more time to work on the blasted thing, that he needed to collaborate with Simon Furman, and that whether he respects the man or not, he could have done much better to continue from the framework that Furman had started with than what he did.

Unfortunately, we're pretty much stuck with it. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I've been tossing around the idea of doing a fan re-write of AHM for months now. I held off on doing it until after Coda finished off, hoping that would help to fix the assorted continuity gaffes (and aside from Nick Roche's story, not much of that was present), but now, I'm seriously considering doing it once I get more done with my other projects. I even have some firm ideas in mind to expand upon the story, elaborate on the differences, even incorporate concepts and ideas from other corners of the IDW-verse that got little elaboration (Spotlight: Mirage, anyone?). I don't have enough hubris to think it'll be better than the published version, and I no doubt will need some editing assistance of my own, but I like to think someone will enjoy it.

Still, my novel and the re-edits of my own stuff take priority. Once I get more of that done...we'll see.

I'm a twenty-something college grad, and one of those few male fanfiction writers with delusions of grandeur. Glance around my gallery, and you'll get a good look at me somewhere.
