[therobotmonster]

I haven't done a Transformers digibash in awhile, but Legacy brought in Tasmania Kid, and an opportunity arose in the form of Sky-Byte's minion, Stinkbomb.

Presumably, the resculpt for the tail would come with cyborg detailing on the beast mode and a new chest.

Transformers: Mosaic #487 - "Beast Wars: Loose Ends"

Originally posted on May 28th, 2010

Story - Zac DeBoard Art - Roy Stiffey Letters - Franco Villa Edits - Juan Pablo Osorio Thanks to - Josh van Reyk

deviantART | Seibertron | TFW2005

Later revised and annotated for Transformers: The Lost Seasons

wada sez: This is a sequel to "Charge" by Josh van Reyk, hence the acknowledgement. Stiffey’s involvement and the inclusion of the character of Insecticon calls back to the otherwise-unrelated strip “Disturbing the Nest”. The strip serves to reintroduce Terrorsaur and Scorponok, who were unceremoniously killed off in “Aftermath”, the start of the show’s second season, to reallocate budget towards new characters and redesigns. As they fell into the lava, they were shown beginning to mutate under the effects of the quantum surge, so this strip follows up on that by using their toy-only Transmetal forms. It seems that the writer had only learned of Scorponok’s Transmetal form from the Beast Wars Sourcebook, unaware that it originated as a McDonalds Happy Meal toy. Iguanus is female here, at Villa’s suggestion: “That's my personal contribute to the plot :) I though that Iguanus was a "she" since IDW's first BW miniseries by Figueroa and Furman. Don't know why ^^”. The name “Iguaness” was slightly revised from Stiffey’s suggestion for the character, “Iguaniss”. Obviously, as she has no speaking role in the comic, the extent of the effect this has on the strip is that she appears with boobs and lipstick; you can check out all of Stiffey’s designs below. Zac DeBoard’s original script was slightly different to the finished product; I’ve also reproduced that below with his notes. Fair warning, we’re about to get a bunch of Franco Villa strips in a row; per a later comment of his on TFW2005: “I'm afraid I clogged the project and I'm very sorry for this: I made some timing mistakes in sending the pieces and I ended up piling them up in a very short time span. After this bulk, however, I slowed down everything, in order to give room back to other authors (as it must be).”

Panel 1.

(A three fingered metallic clawed hand is digging through what looks like rock.)

CAPTION: It took us stellar cycles to dig our way out of the hardened magma.

Panel 2.

(another image of the hand, this time showing more of the arm.  This is transmetal Terrorsaur.  Nearby another arm, golden, and mechanical with a scorpion claw at the end is digging at another area.  This is transmetal Scorponok)

CAPTION: Chances are we've been presumed dead by Maximal and Predacon alike.

CAPTION: If that quantum surge hadn't hit the two of us before we fell into the lava, we would be.

Panel 3.

(Here there would be a flashback image of Terrorsaur and Scorponok falling into the lava as the Transwarp energy that created the Transmetals washes over them)

CAPTION: But now we have returned and both Primal and Megatron will suffer our wrath.

Panel 4.

Terrorsaur and Scorponok are free.  They are in the ruins of the Darksyde.  Terrorsaur has his hands up in the air as if he was claiming victory. Before he can act further, he and Scorponok find themselves surrounded by LioConvoy and the newest incarnation of the Pack (*see notes)

WASPINATOR: "Waspinator do good?"

LIOCONVOY:  "Your knowledge of the planet and your former comrades has been invaluable. Although I'm quite surprised to find these Preds functioning"

TERRORSAUR:  "What the Pit is this?"

LIOCONVOY: "The Beast Wars have been over for years.  We're just here to tidy up loose ends and preserve history. Surrender and come peacefully or fight and come in pieces."

Panel 5.

Terrorsaur and Scorponok raise there hands in surrender.  Terrorsaur sighs.

TERRORSAUR: I should've stayed in stasis lock..." This is the original version of the Beast Wars story I wanted to do for Mosaic. We are going in a slightly different direction with it, so, once I had permission, I thought I would post it and let you guys read it. Lemme know what you think.

This is written as it would be for an actual Mosaic, with Panel descriptions and what not. These are the original notes I wrote.

NOTES: Scorponok is based on his transmetal form from the Beast Wars Sourcebook although his head would be closer in looks to his original.

Maybe as the 2 Preds are coming out of the lava, Megatron's rubber duckie could be laying on the ground.

The Pack...since this takes place after Beast Machines they would all have the new Maximal badge

The new Pack would consist of original members Longrack, Break, Stampy, Mach Kick and LioConvoy (who would appear here in his Lio Prime form which is the Leobreaker mold with the Lioconvoy colors) also Grimlock and transmetal Waspinator who would also now have a maximal badge as well

I have this picture in my head of Stampy holding a huge weapon...like bigger than he is.

[askvectorprime]

Dear Vector Prime,

We've seen a lot of monster bots and cons over the years, but has there ever been one with a Sasquatch or yeti alternate mode?

Dear Cryptid Con,

I believe I've already spoken of several Ancient Decepticons with forms observed by your kind to be cryptids, whose numbers included Heavytread and Abominus. Heavytread was active in the Pacific Northwest, where he inspired the legend of the Sasquatch before being captured and imprisoned by Crosswise. Abominus, meanwhile, was active in the Himalayas, where he menaced the indigenous tribes along with early 19th-century mountaineers. The duo had a brother, Stinkbomb, who was active in the southern United States. His acrid odor proved infamous, and inspired tales of the legendary "skunk ape".

They are by no means unique in the multiverse, however. Take the Mini-Con Windchill, who hindered the Rescue Bot Boulder and his human ally, Graham Burns, during an arctic rescue operation. His actions were more mischievous than malicious, and he eventually decided to stop aggravating them and instead help them in their efforts. Together, they saved a thaw-monitoring station from sliding into the ocean, and ultimately parted on amicable terms.

Day 3: Rare Pairs

Okay, OKAY! I know I literally just gushed about how much I love Hippoworm two days ago, but like, if Hippoworm didn’t work out or if they just stayed friends... I wouldn’t mind seeing Warren with Stinkbomb, if only because a worm dating a plant is just too cute to me. Worms help plants grow, and a Worm-man teaming up with a Plant-man might just have a shot at taking over the city. 

They’re both so gung ho and passionate about their careers too - newscaster and gardener, respectively - so they’ve got that in common! ...Buuuuut yeah, this one’s mostly aesthetic for me since we haven’t really seen enough of Harold to get a good grasp on his personality, so we have no idea if these two would even get along on a personal level, and like I said on Monday, Hippoworm is too wholesome to break up. Still, this rare pair is ALMOST as cute as Hippoworm.

Other rare pairs I like are AlbeartoxMrs.Cuddles (because a creepy robot and a creepy puppet being together makes too much sense, honestly) and MeatsweatsxGhostbear (the people in the fandom who came up with this pair, you know who you are, lol. Thanks for the Galaxy Brain idea.) @lgbtmntweek​

[warrenstones]

okay i'm sorry but it just popped into my head and I had to share, lol. Warren and Hypno run into Stinkbomb, and naturally Warren starts to tell the guy off but Stinkbomb is actually friendly towards him, since worms help plants grow. "And you certainly are one of the handsomest worms I've seen~" Cue Warren getting kinda blushy/enjoying having his ego stroked while Hypno side eyes the whole thing. Anyway they team up to go after the Turts and Hypno's kinda jelly the whole time, shenanigans ensue

THATS RLY GOOD!!! I LUV THT IDEA
