illogical

better than dying a nobody.

if anyone wants it.. i did a shoddy scan of the transformers one art book so anyone can skim thru it and read abt their blorbos and the stuff that went into the movie.

i'm gonna try and do a better scan LATER, but i need to figure out.. how, first, since this book's not Letter Sized and thus doesn't fit on my actual scanner and probably won't fit in the scanner wands i have.

anyway. google drive link. archive dot org link. scribd link.

some pages are a little shoddier scanned than others, and i apologize for that.

In which Brainstorm manages to convince Perceptor of the value of a time case experiment and it goes wrong. They both know they're technically not supposed to be doing it, but it's Brainstorm's (magnificent) life's work, so he's all in, and Perceptor finds it compelling enough that he convinces himself it's low risk.

The pair gets stuck in the Shadowzone where they run into Prime Soundwave. Together, the trio is just about clever and creative enough to slap together an escape system — which lands them, permanently, in the TFP universe. Perceptor and Brainstorm now have to navigate the postwar Prime setting, complete with its prickly and extra-spiky Megatron recovering from Unicron possession, its blasted dwindling Cybertronian species, its vicious predacons and its destroyed Matrix of leadership...

There are parallels everywhere but nothing is quite right. Luckily, Brainstorm and Perceptor have TFP Soundwave to guide them and introduce them.

Unusual polybasite specimen from Mayo Mining District, Yukon Territory, Canada.

Retired miner Megatronus buys the most rundown shack on an old overrun farm with his hard-won and vastly insufficient workers' compensation money after a catastrophic workplace injury. Optimus Prime is a local historian with a messy past who comes by to learn more about some interesting artefacts he's digging up.

Rehabilitating the farm plays out as an extremely obvious metaphor for rehabilitating Megatron. Megatron's mood runs high to temper tantrums and stont silences, but Optimus manages to help with both.
