[transformers] When I reminisce about the Transformers Collectors Club fiction I remember the absolute knob headed decision they made for Beast Wars Shattered Glass
Jack Raid
Which, you might assume would be alignment switched versions of Beast Wars characters, right?
Jack Raid
Wrong
Jack Raid
They had the pig stupid idea to reverse BW’s premise
Jack Raid
Where instead of Beast Transformers venturing into the past of G1 vehicular Transformers
Jack Raid
They had G1 vehicular Transformers becoming beasts
Ken
TFCC was my sworn nemesis
Jack Raid
Then they had the brilliant idea to, in the last page of this storyline, show the proper SG Predacons with a lame “Here we go again” gag
Ken
(Also why it took me so long to actually embrace Shattered Glass as a fun thing in general)
Ken
SG BW is really dire though. You have a simple, easy premise and still fuck it up
Dr. Min▲zuki
you're understating how stupid it was by leaving out that 1) it wasn't even SG G1 guys, it was regular G1 guys
Ken
I like to think Ty was sparing triggering me going off on a rant, like. As a personal favor by glossing over it.
Jack Raid
we could have had it all
we could have had it all
Jack Raid
Other pig brained ideas Fun Pub had: a pre-beast Depthcharge that turned into a Jet

WHAT
𝔥𝔢𝔩𝔩 𝔬𝔫 𝔥𝔢𝔢𝔩𝔰
NO
𝔥𝔢𝔩𝔩 𝔬𝔫 𝔥𝔢𝔢𝔩𝔰
WHAT??
𝔥𝔢𝔩𝔩 𝔬𝔫 𝔥𝔢𝔢𝔩𝔰
HOW DO YOU FUCK IT UP THAT BAD
Jack Raid
Doing Machine Wars as a bunch of clones of G1 characters instead of G1 characters in new bodies
Dr. Min▲zuki
and 2) the story was essentially just "here's some japanese beast wars toys repurposed as g1 characters and put up against other g1 characters so they can be g1"
𝔥𝔢𝔩𝔩 𝔬𝔫 𝔥𝔢𝔢𝔩𝔰
-_-
Dr. Min▲zuki
(which is unintentionally hilarious in light of the machine wars thing. fp could make toys be g1 guys if and only if that wasn't what anyone wanted.)
Jack Raid
Trying to get the writers of Beast Wars Uprising to say there were no Micromasters in the world of Beast Wars Uprising when they APPEARED IN EVERY BWU STORY UP UNTIL THAT POINT
Dr. Min▲zuki
oh I don't remember that one
Jack Raid
The sad part is BWU is a really amazing story despite TFCC editorial doing its best to sabotage it :/
Jack Raid
Most of these decisions were made by one Pete Sinclair, who the writers of BWU stealth parodied in the form of a character named Fever Dream
Jack Raid
Pete was also an out and out racist and left wing jackass who erased 10+ years of fandom history by turning TFCC’s twitter into his own personal account
Jack Raid
Sorry
Jack Raid
RIGHT WING jackass
Dr. Min▲zuki
(bwu is really good though)
