#329-330
I’ve always liked when the supposed ultra-powered characters
turn out to be the most bumbling, so Nemesis Prime and Galvatron not being able
to track down Megatron was a pretty obvious route for me to take. It didn’t
take me too long to decide to bring in a third heralds, one that was the
complete opposite of the two that came before; an unassuming little character
that actually WOULD live up to the hype. I knew which toy I wanted to use but I
sent fellow TFW2005 board member Puppylove a message asking her if she would
mind me using a prefix she used in her comic full of adorable characters:
“Mini”. She was ok with it so I introduced a ‘cutesy’ character of my own, a
non-transforming plastic figurine of 2007 movie Megatron from the Robot Heroes
subline of Transformers. The face of the toy looked adorable yet psychotically
deranged and it suited my purposes perfectly. Mini-Megs, as I called him, was
yet another character that would have long lasting effects on the comic, almost
to the very end.
I was happy with the way the photoshopped panels of
Nemesis Prime building up Mini-Megs’ introduction turned out…once again someone
else could have done a much better job but the terrible cutting and pasting had
become a staple in the comic and I felt like it added to the silliness. I chose
the evil things surrounding Nemesis Prime in panel 8 of comic #330 at random,
and of course had to give Puppylove a shoutout in the script for letting me use
the Mini prefix. I can’t say the big Mini-Megs’ reveal panel turned out exactly
to my liking, I had wanted Mini-Megs much closer to the camera but I just
couldn’t get a good in-focus shot so I had to settle for what I ended up with.
Regardless, this comic was a big one and overall I was happy with the way it
turned out.
