yes there are neutrals! lockdown is the only neutral you will really see in the story, but certain characters will have backgrounds as former neutrals.

there are neutral colonies out there, but they are few and small. the most notable neutral settlements were velocitron and caminus, but both have become autobot territories by the time the story starts. but during the war, they were both neutral.

dead :)

✨ ~ mass displacement ~ ✨

most seekers aren't that small, starscream's only small because he's a runt and blitzwing's small cuz hes. still a kid. but also definitely in comparison to some other conts, seekers are probably. much smaller. because i fackin love using mass displacement as an excuse to fuck around with character heights.

tl;dr of the MANY words i am about to say: i have plans to present unity in the form of a wiki + video essay(s), though these may take a while to come to fruition. if you could read the whole thing thank you i love you i think i say good words.

SO. HI. ITS BEEN A WHILE. a lot of things have happened to me which includes like. yknow. dropping out of college and a special interest change, but here i am! thinking about unity! and, truly, i've never stopped thinking about unity at any point . but i think im finally at a point in which i have ideas that are concrete enough to share PLUS. y'all are overdue for an update on what's going on. so sorry.

so as the tl;dr already spoiled, i have plans to create a wiki for TFU and (a) video essay(s). the wiki will hold any and all information on unity, like character bios, vocab, etc., while the video essay(s) will be an explanation of what the plot of tfu would've been. which is a weird thing to type and read with my own eyes, the past tense of it.

its weird reading some of my older thoughts where i seem to really think that there was a possibility that unity could be a webcomic in any way shape or form. because i dont think it ever was a real possibility nor will it ever be a possibility. i dont say that solemnly at all, i say it just as a realistic matter of fact. because i dont know who else needs to hear this, but people who make huge, impressive projects by themselves or with little help are the exception and most definitely not the standard. and i think its unhealthy in a lot of ways to expect that level of work ethic from yourself, especially if you're like me and chronically ill, neurodivergent, mentally ill, etc.

i think i would've grown to hate unity if i had pushed for it to become a webcomic. instead, i'm actually really excited to work on it more and present in this format that's gonna be more accessible and way easier and fun for me to work on. and i dont feel any shame in like. idfk taking "the easy way out" i dont care !!!! what matters is im making shit and having fun and being happy while doing it.

ANYWAYS. it will still be quite a while until y'all see anything, i think at the earliest you may see it at the end of this year/early next year, but time will tell! i do have a long list of health issues and irl problems that impact my ability to work on stuff like this, but given that this is a lot less work than yknow. WORKING ON A WEBCOMIC. i hope it wont be too long until i can tell y'all that i've made progress :]

i’ve focused FAR too much on the decepticons so the autobots are gonna get the spotlight on this one <3

slipstream has a new helmet design bc i decided she and sunstorm are fraternal twins! it probably needs some tweaking, i did it on a whim while sketching tht drawing out </3

i finally caved and removed breakdown and knockout from the main cast  😔 it pains me horribly BUT the con cast is so big and i didnt have a lot going with them, so they just live on kaon now! they don’t have to deal with getting stuck on earth so good for them :)

lazy silly comic i started. WEEKS ago and finished just in time before new years :]

i said i would post AND IM POSTING even though i hate this <3

IT’S UNITY’S TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

by that i pretty much mean that two years ago today, i cracked open a google doc and started writing down my first concepts for tfu! its grown and evolved a LOT from that original document and im so impressed with how much it has grown from that one doc!

being that unity’s two years old now, some folks may be wondering

hey, stars, where exactly is unity going?

short answer: as of right now, nowhere, really! i’d really really love to start taking it more seriously soon, but as it currently stands, i do not have an official plan for whats next for unity and its development.

LONG ANSWER...

i finished this days ago but forgot to post it oops!!
