wada sez: A strip focused on the Kronoform characters, giving them origins as some of Shockwave’s experiments. Autoceptor and Kaltor are existing names; Deceptor doesn’t show up here, presumably due to his Decepticon allegiance, and has been replaced by two new characters. “Timor” is an obvious pun, while “Tobor” is “robot” backwards—I’m not sure what their designs are inspired by. I’m also not sure of the intent behind “Dysonium”, which predates its independent creation as a fictional element on The Orville by a decade. The scientist on the leftmost monitor in the first panel is Jhiaxus; the other two scientists on the screens are generics, according to the artist on deviantART. Tim Shinn’s involvement with the strip is more intense than you might think, which you’ll see happens basically every time he works on one; I’ve posted his WIP breakdown explaining what I mean by that below the break.

Dear Equivalent Expert,

There are several there I've had the pleasure to observe and even encounter, usually very different from each other.

One I remember was the human, Doctor Viktor Ponomarenko, one of the directing overseers of the Diaclone Corps. He seeks to use Freezon to find a way to end the Waruder-Human wars peacefully.

In another reality, the Brave of Time Vectorion defends the timestream with his human friends and fellow Time Warriors: Sasoria, Jiyūsion, Damasoul and Kalton.
