Transformers Trinity

Welcome. Currently my own obsession with Transformers of all series has lead me to writing my own transformers series from the ground up. Though it has been in the works for a couple years as of starting this blog, I have only published the Pilot episode plus one other Anthology story to AO3 and Fanfiction.net. However I have been working on lots of background lore, notes, character bios, ship designs, among other details for the overall setting. Hopefully this will be a decent place to share such details and get feedback. At risk of seeming full of my self or presumptuous, this blog and a correstponding Telegram channel are being made partially based on a Tumblr post about how certian readers of fanfiction feel like they're the only one into or obsessed with the work in question when a reply post mentions that the author of said work is often just as obsessed with it as said reader and would very much like to talk and interact with someone that into their work. Hopefully this can be a place for that for anyone who comes across my admittantly amature written work and wants more of it in some way. Hopefully I won't dissapoint.

Introduction and Expectations

After 4 million years of brutal armed conflict, Optimus Primes leads a volunteer crew on a repurposed transport to a distant and dim star far beyond Cybertron's controlled space, and unrecognized by most modern star charts as little more than a Datapoint. Obsessed with the actions of the deposed Cybertron, now Autobot, leader, Lord Megatron of the Decepticon Constellate hastily calls up his best Officers and fastest ship to give chase. What they both find in a small star in the overlooked Orion arm of the Galaxy is more than meets they eye of either leader. One wishes to embrace and protect it, the other, pushed and charged by forces unknown beyond the Decepticons, must see it destroyed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings Dear Reader, Welcome to Transformers Trinity. My Original Transformers Continuity. I hope you enjoy it. Just to clear up some housekeeping notes, My series is rated somewhere between T and M on the ESRB video game rating scale mostly due to dramatic and mature themes, some strong language (both Human and Cybertronian), and that I don't wanna really pull any punches when writing. Also, to set expectations, this is meant to be a new and original Transformers Continuity set apart from previous continuities, but does bear influence and inspiration from Transformers IDW 1.0 (and 2.0 to a lesser extent), Transformers Prime, Transformers Aligned Continuity in general, Generation 1 (comics and cartoon), and other bits and pieces from other Transformers continuities.

External Literary/Media influences include: Lord of the Rings, Tom Clancy novels, Star Wars Expanded Universe, Dune, Babylon 5, Star Trek (Original Series and Rick-Berman era), Andy Weir Sci-fi novels (The Martian and Project Hail Mary in particular), Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and others.

Just a note and heads up to my readers: While this is Fanfiction by definition, I don't intend to indulge any desires on my part other than to write a good and solid story. Therefore, I don't expect to fall into many fanfiction tropes besides some shipping, and even those are considered and meant to serve at least some aspect of the overall story, however I cannot preclude any eventual happenings between characters.

Further, in my setting, I have defined my Cybertronian 'biology' such that it is not in line with the standard conventions of Transformers X-rated Fanfiction, but neither is it the engineered 'all ages appropriate' biology usually suggested or described in official sources (namely Aligned and IDW). My Cybertronians, Autobots, Decepticons, and unaligned bots, are most certianly People like you or I with similar worries, concerns, and instincts, but they are also, to our eyes, a race of Alien Robots, and thus have worries, concerns, and instincts unto themselves.

One final note on the Preamble, I have received more than a few unsolicited offers for commissioned artwork adaptations of my fictions. However, as of right now, I have no budget to speak of for commissioning works based on my series. That said, I do whole heartedly welcome fan-art and any other inspired works of art based on my writing, and would love to feature it here perhaps with the excerpt and context the piece was based on. However, until I can put together a proper budget and production process for a graphic novel or other official adaptation, artistic adaptations and other such derivatives will have to remain fan and enjoyment driven.

Anyway, Hope you enjoy, I'll do my best to keep this updated with pertinent information as it becomes relevant to the Story.

Vehicle Reference: Decepticon Navy

A background reference for the decepticon navy used in Transformers Trinity.

A similar reference for the Autobot navy is in the works using mostly material from the comics and similar vehicle modes of autobots/autobot aligned figures that turn into 'space ships'

This may be expanded in the future possibly with new art and/or more information. Currently all vessel classes/types are listed with their actual class name and the Autobot Communication Code (ACC) with names loosely inspired by the US military and NATO reporting names for enemy aircraft. Lore wise, most of these craft are new-build ship types by the Decepticons after they took effective power, however with some built at clandestine shipyards out of knowledge of the Cybertron Council, however there are still, at the time of Trinity, a number of old pre-war Cybertron Council ships serving both the diminished Autobot Navy and the Decepticon Constellate Navy (namely the Senate/Reckless class Frigate).

(ACC: Sniper Class)

Resurgence Class

Light Destroyer

Decepticon Constellate equivalent of 

The Fletcher Class

1st 13 ships named, rest numbered LD##

(ACC: Reckless Class/Natrual Selection Class)

Senator Class

Light Destroyer/Frigate

Leftover ships from the old High Council controlled navy. Currently being phased out by the Resurgence Class

(ACC:Brick Class)

Kaon Class

Troop Carrier/Assault ship

A heavily armed transport which

Can transport three full battalions of troops with full support equipment to a front

((ACC:Pinchy Class)

Nemesis Class

New Fast Attack Frigate with experimental tractor beam based system

(ACC: Hammer Class)

(Class names from Armored Core)

Balteaus Class

Guided missile and Torpedo Cruiser

(ACC: Mallet Class)

Balteaus Class Heavy Refit

Armament supplemented with 4 MAC cannons, forward launch tubes and projectile PDC turrets.

(ACC:Dirge class)

Primarch Class

Battle ship

(ACC: Schnozz Class)

Dreadnought Class Battleship

(ACC: Fragger/Big Fragger)

Victory Class

Planetary Assault ship. Once landed, it can single handedly support a near unstoppable campaign. 

By the time of Trinity, only a handful are known to exist, but it’s believed there are dozens or hundreds either planned or under construction. 

World sweeper. Ultimate expression of Decepticon naval superiority. Only three known to exist, currently believed invincible.

Just updated with a new ship. Figured the G1 Nemesis designe deserved to be in there somewhere

Predacon and Minicon (Valentines special)

A tale of our Ancestors, passed down through the Eons. Originally told by Onyx Prime to Logos Prime, dutifully recorded by Alpha Trion.

I was galloping back to our camp after a long and great pursuit, my noble quarry had evaded me that day. When I passed within a spears throw of Micronus’ village, I saw an odd spire that was not there before, I knew the land well. Atop the spire, I saw a small figure standing, looking out over the land.

I approached with a soft foot, not wishing to disturb the small figure, for he seemed at peace. As I came within reach, I saw it was Mirconus, standing atop the well constructed pillar, about at level with my eye.

“Micronus, my Brother” I called out softly but clearly from more than an arms reach away, for I did not wish to scare the small Prime, “You stand taller now, and atop a spire worthy of the Forge of Solus. Does something trouble you?” I asked, kneeling once as is due to one of Us.

Micronus returned the honor and answered “Onyx my Brother, you keep our homes, our workshops, and our young safe and happy. Despite our size, in our lands, we walk, we dance, we make amd we live without fear by the protection of your Huntsmen. No, Brother, I built this spire so I could see farther, know more, see my lands and people as you and the other Primes do…”

“I see” I said, stepping around to stand fully next to him, and see what he saw. “And what do you think of your new view?”

Micronus looked down a little. “Its… its nice… its more than it was… but its also a little precarious” he said. Where he stood was scarcely larger than his stance.

I looked over at him, and considered him a moment before extending my arm before him “would you like to do more than merely see as I see from a small platform?”

Micronus looked down at my offered arm, then up at me, then back at my hand, scarcely larger than the top of his spire. “Are you sure?” he asked with concern in his voice, but eagerness in his eyes.

I gave him a nod, and a smile. He then gingerly stepped on my hand. I then lifted him up onto my shoulders. “Hold on” I said softly, then started a strong gallop back towards my land.

I could feel little Micronus grabbing near my shoulders tightly. I did my best to run smoothie but with great speed. I could feel first his shudders of terror, but then quickly his laughs of sheer joy and exhilaration. I think I rendered our beloved brother speechless, though I had not yet started.

I think I startled him a little as I spread my wings. “Hold on to these, and firmly. You shall see more than you ever have before!” I declared. Once I felt him hold my wing roots, I transformed, and took off with a loud cry of Dominance. I could feel Micronus hold on tighter still as I flapped hard, and took us above the clouds. High enough to see both our lands and the Mountians, all the way to Primus’ seat in one look. Once there I spread my wings wide and just soared the air currents. “See now, my Brother. All our lands. Everything Primus has Given us. See as he may see us.”

I looked back over my shoulder and saw a look of pure awe on Micronus. Though just a rider, I knew he was seeing our lands as I had seen them the first time I dared to soar. All fear forgotten, and replaced with the grandeur of our home.

“Onyx my Brother” Micronus said over the wind. “My spark grows beyond my frame. How can I express this? This is greater than I could have ever imagined, than anything I could have conceived! How can I go back to my people as I was? I shall never be the same”

I carefully reached back and held his hand. “You shall not be. But now we have seen our home and our people with the same eyes. And now, you and I share this most privileged of views.”

He held my clawlike hand close and leaned into it for a moment before releasing it, allowing me to properly fly. I then felt him lay back down on my back, no more words were exchanged, but I knew he was at ease.

I soon turned back towards his home, towards his village and the spire where I had found him.

As I transformed and landed, I gently lifted Micronus from my back and made to place him back on his spire, he climbed back up my arm and embraced me tenderly but firmly around my shoulders. Not the strong embraces of my Hunter brothers I’m accustom to, but a softer yet more complete embrace. “Thankyou Onyx” he said softly, meant only for my ears. “You’re welcome Micronus.” I replied in kind and returned his embrace before placing him back where I had met him.

As I left, meaning to return to my brothers, I made sure our smallest of kid made it safely back to his people, though from a distance, and considering deeply what we had experienced. What I had enabled him to experience.

At that moment, I knew he deserved more. The chance to stand as we do, and not merely lend strength and power, but to wield it himself alongside us.

Therefore, I resolved to turn aside from my homeward path to you. I know of no one else who could give Mirconus, or dear and beloved brother, what he deserves.

So, will you help me, Solus?

"Anode?? ANODE??!!" the half-sized red bot said somewhat frantically as she held onto the larger green and grey bot floating by the ops station with arms and legs. There were at least half a dozen bodies floating around the debris strewn bridge, all view ports had had their transpara-steel panels fragmented and broken, the parts outside floating away into the debris field that was once the Cybertron Council Navy Task Group 515 and Customs Station Combine 12. "ANODE!!!" Lug cried in denial and despair, tears flicking off her cheeks as she grasped Anode's limp body close, starting to sob. Anode's eyes slowly opened, blinking a couple of times, trying to focus on her station, but only seeing the bridge ceiling where it very much shouldn't be. She soon heard Lug's sobs and felt her clinging on, though without the additional weight she should have felt. "Lug? What are-" She began to ask, but didn't finish. "ANODE!" Lug said, quickly pulling Anode into a tight and somewhat desperate kiss. "Mmmff!?" Anode said, now instinctually afraid she'd be disciplined for PDA on the bridge. She somewhat forcefully pulled away and looked around for Captian Fastlane, only to see his grey and sparkless corpse just floating out the main view window.

Lug at that moment only had optics for Anode "You... You're alive" She said still sniffling a bit. Anode looked back at her, then around the bridge, processor still catching up to what had happened. "I... I am...?" She said, looking back at Lug, now noticing the loss of atmosphere and registering the loss of gravity. Lug was now holding Anode close, resting her head on the aviator bot's chest. "You are... Thank Primus..." She said seeming to take deep breaths. Anode looked down and gently lifted Lug's chin, the usual focused and competent blue optics now somewhat warbling and glistening with tears.

Anode gave the smaller bot a tender boop on her nose, which lug responded with a small giggle in spite of the death and carnage around them. For the briefest of moments it was like nothing had changed, they might've been stealing away a moment in Anode's officer cabin while Polaris and Matco were on duty.

But the moment passed as quickly as it came, it passed away. Anode looked around as she held Lug to her chest, seeing her bridge crew all now dead. Captian Fastlane, Clearly spark dead well before his time, floating away into the void. First Officer Vector Echo, everyone called him Vec, no longer. Matco, her bunk-mate, Always wanted to shoot the massive chin MACs on the Dreadnoughts, will never get the chance. Strikedrone, could helm a dingy between planets if given the chance, why did you have to sail where we can't follow? Riptide, always just two weeks away from making Leutenant, now he'll... wait, did he just move?

Transformers Trinity Single: Deadlock's Come To Primus

Watcher Deadlock’s Log, Acting Commisar Rising Voice of Liberation duty station, Date Cycle of Liberation 201025.12.21, Prime Datum Date age of Rust cycle 6.3019.3.25.  Perhaps I’ll process this better if I lay it out in a log. For my own peace of mind, I am making this log with my terminal disconnected from any kind of communications gear. It is operating entirely stand alone and I plan on resetting it after I’m done with this…confession?

Last night, I had come back after another suppression mission. I was again on overwatch duty with my high power and 20 times scoped Nullray. Orders from Bludgeon were that some civilians had been showing ‘counter Revolutionary leanings’ and we were to eliminate them since the softer options were not an option, in his words. I had managed both with a single bolt, and my Watchman professionally covered over the incident. As far as anyone on the street knows, poor target C-80808 simply had an aneurysm and died before the medics could get there. The Truth is, his ‘counter revolutionary’ views were that The Constellate’s rules were more invasive and strict than the Functionist leanings of the Council. He voiced said view in earshot of one of my watchmen, and sealed his own fate. Having dealt Megatron’s Justice, I felt the need to ‘celebrate’ with strong mineral spirit, something I think I had gifted, maybe once knew, but all I remember now is that it was Green. I had my bottle, I put on the Holonet to something appropriately mindless but cog-pleasing, and tried to forget what I had done, or at least remind myself that it was ‘the right thing to do’ As the bottle drained, but my thoughts and naggings remained, I fell back into some old techniques I learned from the mystics at Crystal City before the war. They called it Spark Meditation. Almost without conscious thought, I slowly drifted into the mental and spiritual rhythms they had taught me, as the dancing dancing Camians on the holoprojector parted ways for one dressed as a crude approximation of a quintison to show up for the Broad and Sturdy Nova Prime to come out and ‘free’ the Camians. I was then kneeling in a dark space, my head throbbing and coolant pouring down by sides. As I looked at my hands, I noticed my Exo-plating had returned to it’s white with Red Accents it had been before the War. Before I had received my brand, and taken on darker colors for my duties. 

“Drift…” A voice far off called. I shook my head, no one had spoken that name in centuries. “Drift… of the Order of the Circle.” the voice said. How could it have known that? “Who are you?” I replied, to nowhere in particular “And my name is Deadlock!” I felt a draft behind me, then a strong presence. “Drift.” the voice said again. “Of the clan Kaiser” How did he know that, I had forsaken my worthless clan name Eons ago. I rapidly turned around, picking up my rifle “MY NAME IS-” I began but stopped. Before my stood the strong, alabaster white, titanium, and crystal blue frame of Prima, hands stalwartly clasped on the hilt of his Great Blade, the Star Saber itself. A form I had long known since my time at Crystal City, and came to despise when I learned of the base corruption of the council that still, to my understanding, followed his teachings. “Drift.” he called again. “Who asked and was given, Who Sought and found, Who knocked on the Doors of my City  and it was opened. Spark and Mint of my lineage in Metal and Energon. Why do you act against me and my Brothers?” I stood, raised my Nullray to fire. “DOWN WITH FALSE PROPHETS!” I cried, right from the Call to Revolution, and fired right at Prima’s face. With a single motion, the Starsaber came up, met my bolt, and reflected it back down the barrel of my rifle, splitting it like a frayed cable. “Do you forget my wisdom?” Prima asked. “Even as you remember my strength?” I tossed away the useless rifle, then drew my sword, the one presented to me by Bludgeon himself. “Your wisdom means nothing when you abandon your followers.” I said with fire and rushed him again. Then the Star Saber came up on guard, and perried my blow with only about as much effort as it took to brush aside a leaf. Yet I was left somewhat breathless. “Why do you say that?” Prima asked again, now on guard, with the perfect ready defense stance.

I gathered myself and took the ready attack stance, my servos feeling as new, like they had when I practiced his forms daily. “You let the Council leave us all with Nothing!” “The Council?” Prima said. “The council made their choice Eons ago.” “LIAR!” I screamed and attacked. He met each of my blows with an easy deflect, leaving me with plenty of energy for the follow-through, though he deflected that with similar ease. “Did they Bear the Matrix?” He asked as our blades locked for a moment, at which point I noticed for the first time that this hilt of his blade so closely resembled The Matrix of Leadership. “They Swear by it.” I replied breaking the lock “And they still walk.” “Their ‘oaths’ on the Matrix mean nothing.” he replied, attacking in turn this time, but only probing, letting me get a sense of him as he had gotten a sense of me. “They shelter themselves from our True Justice behind empty words.” he added and gave a Jab at which I jumped away. “That’s why you are here.” he said “Me?” I said, now confused. “Yes You.” he said, “and many more. Those who know what True Justice is.” He said and advanced again, now with more powerful strikes, though ones I could block. “You were called, Orion was Called, Ratchet was Called, Roller was Called, Megatronus was Called, many were called.” I blocked the last one, then counter attacked, “then why aren’t you attacking Megatron too!” I asked somewhat heated, the duel now taking its toll on me. “Drift, I am telling you your story, not his” he said, reversing my attack back on me. “And I know that you see what has become of Megatronus’ once good intentions, much like his name’s sake.” “Just what are you trying to say, Prima!” I said, pushing his blade off and swinging hard again. He moved aside, and let my blade stick in the ground, hard. “I am saying you still have time. You need not follow this path.” he said, raising The Star Saber back at me. “You have not yet made the Final Blow.” I tried to free my blade for a moment, but couldn’t, I then left my sword where it stood, and tdrew my two cleavers in defense. “And Megatron has?” “That, I cannot say.” he said, standing back in a defensive posture. “His story, like your own, is not over.” 

“Then why come to me?” I asked. “Why this… what is it… a Matrix vision?” Prima smiled as I said so. “I see you still remember much.” he said, then relaxed, shouldered the Star Saber and casually pulled my blade out of the ground. “Those you serve, while their intentions started good, fell to their own ambitions, and the same dark influences the very Council they overthrew fell to.” He then raised my sword and felt it in his hands, weighing it, moving it, getting a sense of it. “This is a fine sword, one I would be proud to wield. It may still do much good.” I raised an eyebrow at the remark. “But… you have your Star Saber” He then drew the Star Saber, raised both and held them before himself, the better to see. “They are of the same kind.” he said, then flipped mine back and presented me the hilt. “Will you give this a worthy Master, Drift?” “But… But I’m not a worthy Master…” I said, now feeling more intimidated than I did during the duel. “Neither was I when Solus forged mine,” he said. I looked up at him, and was almost overcome not with the power of a True Prime, but with the understanding in his eyes. In a look, I knew that he knew what I had done both myself and with the blade before me, and still he wanted me to try again. Now filled with a resolve given rather than gained, I received my sword back. “Rise.” Prima said “And Go Forth with Spirit and with Wisdom. It will not be easy, it will not always be as clear as it is here, but my blade will go with yours in all things.” “I know… But Prima? What about my rank? My Station? If I just…” I began, but he cut me off. “Drift, As our Creator has said, there is a time and a place for everything under our sun.” He said firmly but with a bit of a knowing smile. “There will be a time for the nobility you crave, but for now, you must get to those others called. Seek the True Prime, one has returned, and do whatever it takes to stand at his side once more.” “I will. Wait, once more?” I asked, then it clicked as the vision faded and I awoke back in my apartments, the sun now streaming in and the morning broadcast playing it’s usual propaganda before the Constellate flag. I quickly shut it off, then noticed my Nullray where I had left it, but the barrel split and peeled open like a frayed cable, and my Sword in my right hand, same as it was, but now gleaming and somehow new. Computer. Delete the entire personal log and format all drives.

An Edit?

Morning all. While working on further episodes, and doing some creative writing here on other blogs, I have decided to make a minor character edit to the first chapter of Transformers Trinity. As of making this post, the upload on AO3 has this edit due to it's editing features, while fanfiction.net does not due to how it handles stories and uploads. I will be updating the manuscripts presently and will eventually correct the fanfiction.net posting as well. Until then, you have a chance to find and spot the difference, a minor one that doesn't change the story as such, but might change how certain events play out in the long run. Anyway, Have Fun =^w^=

Fan Art vs Commissions

Hello Everyone.

I know I've already made a decently lengthy blog entry today, but between some interactions here, on FFN, and some real life events, it's been on my mind.

Apologies in advance if this may not sound the nicest, or kindest, or even somewhat outright pissed, but it's a reality of both my situation and how I want to view and treat my own art work.

So, as long as I have been writing and posting fan-fiction of some form or another, I've occasionally gotten unsolicited messages from other users, usually users with rather new accounts, messaging me and complimenting my work, but also offering to draw or otherwise depict a scene from my stories. Anymore this has happened most often with Transformers trinity and its currently single Anthology story Megaplex Origins (I understand a bit of a non-sequitur as is, but is meant as a tool for later).

Back when I could, I did indulge one of these messengers because the messenger had at least taken the time to read my work and could at least discuss its contents, so I indulged his request and commissioned a couple pieces. Only after receiving and reviewing them at length did I understand that, while I had not been scammed or otherwise ripped off, I certainly felt overcharged. (Said pieces are paid for and still on this blog if you're curious.)

As time and circumstances changed, I still talked with these individuals, usually, if their intentions were blunt, I would point them to my FFN profile where I have it quite blunt that I don't accept or indulge solicitations. While this is useful, it hasn't completely stopped it.

Upside to this change, the messages I do get, even if they are still to a similar end/agenda, are at least more pleasant and I do get to interact with someone who has read or at least skimmed my work, however my current situation (unemployment) means that I couldn't afford to commission them even if I wanted to, and even then, even if I was employed, it would be little more than a pity-commission, I'm sorry to say.

All this to ultimately say that, as far as Transformers Trinity as a whole is concerned, Until I decide to go full Starwars Theory and self fund a proper media project, I will not be commissioning anything for it outside of some small handshake deals between myself and a couple friends.

If you are messaging me hoping that I'll agree to pay you to draw something from my written work, my answer for now and the foreseeable future will be: I'm sorry but no.

I know I may loose possibly all of my 3 followers here, but truth is, if you're hanging around hoping I'll drop a line to pay you for a piece of art work, and nothing more, you're wasting your time.

Now, all this not because I don't believe in duly paying or supporting artists, my parents are Successful Professional Ballet dancers turned Ballet teachers who run a pre-professional Ballet Company, so I would be a rank hypocrite if that was the case.

But rather, Transformers Trinity is and will remain a purely personal project for my own personal end and enjoyment of having made something worth making, and right now that does not include what would essentially be paying for my own fan art.

If my work moves you enough to create something based on it, weather its fanfic of a fanfic, fan-art, stop-motion, toy customizations, costumes, or anything else, I fully welcome and encourage it wholeheartedly. Nothing would make me happier and fully elevate my humble work of typing words onto a page in a google doc than it moving someone else enough to create more art based on it, and if such a joyous occasion comes about, I would more than happily feature it here with full credit to the artists with my endorsement.

But that only holds fully true if the derived art was made in the same spirit as the original, otherwise it's simply a paid aspect of the original rather than anything truly its own.

Who knows, maybe if fortune smiles upon us all, and my work is moving to enough people, maybe we could all pool together talents and resources to make something proper of my humble fanfiction, but until then it will have to only be works made by fans for fans for the love of it.

TLDR: Due to the nature of my work and my overall situation, I won't be making any commissions for Transformers Trinity or its affiliated stories or resources. Fanart is more than welcome, encouraged, and will be celebrated and duly credited.

Chapter Discussion and Clarifications.

Using this image here because it's probably the closest I can get to showing my ideal NEST situation, and more or less what's gonna happen in future episodes. Discussions and Clarification.

Now that I've posted 3 full episodes of Transformers Trinity, along with the next several in some stage of being outlined, I've already received some feedback about certain plot points and character that might need clarification.

I'm sure anyone whose undertaken long creative writing projects can understand, but in doing so, one can understand how familiar and almost for granted your own characters, stories, establishments, and set pieces can becomes. To you, they're just there and essentially part of the furniture, while to a new reader they're something that they don't just immediately pick up on. To those of my readers who are also familiar with Tom Clancy's novels (Hunt for Red October, Clear and Present Danger, Rainbow Six, etc) will hopefully pick up on his influence on my own writing, I am an avid fan of the Jack Ryan series. However, something he does, that I also must admit I took for granted, was dedicate sometimes whole pages to the introduction and backstory of anything he want's to include. The Question and Discussion here is weather or not I should either edit/rewrite my current chapters/episodes to include some more lengthy introductions and establishments of characters and organizations (Sector Seven mainly), or simply do so as opportunity presents in further chapters. As far as I'm concerned, I feel like I've done at least enough to get on with in dialogue and interludes, but my concerns and perspectives are naturally somewhat biased. So, as a question from the Author to his Readers: What do you think? How can my work be improved with your help? -ΔkW

[gatoburr0]

Holy shit???? New scam strategy alert! Apparently scammers will use your identity to accuse you from selling child porn!!! Do not fall for this bullshit 😭😭😭😭😭 lmfoaifjapfj

[gatoburr0]

[gatoburr0]

The last part I said was to kinda make some of you realize that you are the only one who can handle it, not someone who’s asking you to friend them over on discord to “discuss the appeal” like they’ve been doing for a while now. If they say “I can help you appeal” or “please send a message to x recipient” then it’s absolutely a scam. The only person you should be talking to is tumblr staff through their support page.

Again if they ask you to send a friend request to a supposed “support” account then you’re likely getting hacked.

You *can* potentially act stupid and ask the scammer for the username so you can look it up and report it but I’d honestly just block and move on. They’ll delete the blog most likely after seeing that it didn’t work.

[kogarashi-art]

Oh, first off, heads up because new scam and all.

But also, my very loud "I'm sorry, WHAT!?" reaction because that's my blog header in the screenshot. MY. ART. They stole my art for their scam.

And I know they had to steal it from me because it's custom-made by me, from art I did:

Rude.

Hey this is all nice but can we maybe be more concerned about where they are getting the csam? I think that's my more active concern then someone impersonating me.

I’m very sure that that blog is completely empty or else they would’ve shown me something. I’m not saying there’s zero chance of them actually owning anything or whatever your concern is but these people are more focused on hacking your account than actually making an effort into making people think the accounts they make are genuine.

Art scammers barely try by reblogging 5 unrelated fanart posts thinking that’s enough to make us think they’re interested in actual commissions…

Tbh, got targeted by this too. Once I realized what it was, I tried to mess with them instead of just blocking them, but sadly they got too smart, and never got to see my amazing Doctored email from Tumblr Support. TwT

Be aware everyone, There's a new Phishing scam vector going around Tumblr. If anyone messages you about a falsely reported post, and you haven't received any separate email from Tumblr itself, its a scammer and don't do what they say. Safest just to block and report right there. Stay safe out there everyone.

Author Update, If new please read.

Good morning. As per the title, Some things have somewhat rapidly changed just in the last week. Unfortunately, the major change was that I was let go from my day-job due to Corporate reasons. In light of this, most of the correspondence I have been receiving since I started writing has been new/starting artists soliciting commissions here and on FFN. I may as well say it here, right now I have absolutely no money for any commissions or any expenses beyond the necessities.

That said, the time between jobs has allowed me to make more progress in the last couple days than the previous three moths. While I do hope to have a job soon, I will be taking advantage of my time off and hope to have the next episode posted sooner rather than later along with hopefully either another Single, or a different Transformers Trinity project all together. All that said, to the artists who have been DM-ing me here and elsewhere, while I unfortunately cannot offer any kind of financial support, I do welcome all fan-art and enjoyer content and would happily feature it here. I know that that's essentially offering exposure, but sadly exposure is all I can afford presently, and I make the offer a public open door (so to speak), though I do withhold the right to not share if I don't find it becoming of my story. If life, fate, and the universe, someday, present me with the means and opportunity to, I would very much like to have a full art team for adapting Transformers Trinity into a more visual medium. Until then, Hope you enjoy what I've written and shared here.
