Transformers: Unity

G'Day all,

Last year, when the news first broke that BotCon 2016 would have a Beast Wars theme, my mind began to race with ideas for the convention comic. It probably comes as no surprise to any of you that it's a dream of mine to have something I've written canonised in an official Transformers comic.

I contacted FunPub, the organisers of the BotCon conventions, to see if they'd be open to me pitching them an idea for the comic. Unfortunately, they weren't.

But an idea for the story wouldn't leave me alone, so instead of trying to ignore it, I put pen to paper and Transformers: Unity is the result.



Using their puppets within the Predacon faction to bring the planet to its knees, the Quintessons have returned to reclaim Cybertron. In the streets, Sharkticons run riot, and a small band of Maximals (and one honour-bound Predacon) flee for their lives. But the will of Primus has greater designs for these seven brave Sparks. With Cybertron as the prize, there is more than one play for power at hand.

It was a fun little stand-alone piece to put together, especially coming up with another origin story for the Tripredacus Council. In this, the 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars, the story is a homage to the larger Beast era (both Beast Wars and Beast Machines). It also features the Predacus combiner toys that were sold at this year's convention.

Please read, comment and enjoy!

Cheers,
