Gauntlet’s Guide to Galvatron Mk2

With Unicron seeing a Guide, is it a surprise to find that I’ve written a new guide to Galvatron as well?? Well, it shouldn’t be!

This guide has a detailed analyses of the evolution of Galvy’s design. From his toy version, to his comic version and the TV magazine version – no stone is left unturned!

I’ve also reformatted the EXE guide and the MM3 guide to reflect the layout of the site and not to have their own layouts. Just seems more professional…

Tribute to Iceman

I’m not gonna mince words here. Iceman of the Sinister Six died a few days ago. He left behind many friends and loved ones. I’ll miss him allot.

I’ve made my own tribute page for him for the site. Included is his old bio, a saved chat, words from those who knew him, a tribute picture I drew, and a special epilogue I wrote to say goodbye. Epilogues were what we did … it seemed fitting. I also wrote a bigger speech there than I did here.

If you never knew him I suggest looking at the epilogues he wrote. He put allot of himself in those and he considered them to be the best thing he did for the S6.

Epilogue

It’s time to wind Series 5 down to a close. And to start is The ‘Maniacs Meet Megaman Part 1. It’s finally time for the Mechanical maniacs to meet their old blue nemesis!

In other news, I tweaked the profiles so they lead to something the member did on the site. Got around to adding a better pic of Hardman to his bio.

Epilogue

After about a year without any epilogues we got ANOTHER one from Geminiman. When it rains … it pours. This one finally finishing the Quarter Knights story for this series. Read Issue #20 Unleashed, Unbalanced, Unstoppable.

Also, my old friend Lysekoid has been making a new game called Megaman: New Horizon. It’s all done by him and his team of spriters and programmers and is a truly impressive venture. Quality work. A definite must-see.

Epilogue

Lennon begins to wrap up his Quarter Knights storyline with Issue #19 Making the Most of Fangirlism. Can the ‘Maniacs survive Geminiman’s fangirls? And how do the Quarter Knights tie into it all? Read and find out!

On another note, I just finished my yearly trip to toronto’s Fan-Con ….. or whatever it’s called. CNanime sounds best, really. Whatever it’s called, I actually managed to snag the Bug General – a chase figure from the Transformers toy line. You see a lot of minicons were put in packages and people would buy them in hopes of getting a cool figure. Of the 12 available only one could be the Bug General. The dealer cut me a deal and told me I could get three for the price of two. That’s a 1-in-4 odds that I’d get the guy (or the Bug Drone). So I closed my eyes, let my hand wander ….. and snagged my prize!

If these powers prove true then I could make a small fortune snagging chase figures and selling them at EXORBERANT prices on ebay!

Or not. Still, getting Bug General made my day.

Epilogue, Team Stuff

Epilogue Madness Continues!

Issue#18: Snakeman on a Plane! By the one and only Snakeman! If you can’t guess what it’s about you’ll be shot.

Okay, and now for team stuff …. basically there been a bit of confusion to the nature of MM teams and how the system works. This has led to some getting quite upset. Well, from now on the informal rules (which, although informal, were enforced by some in the community making the hardly informal at all) have been written down in the Team Links Section.

Having informal rules isn’t fair to ANYONE. Not to the people who unintentionally break them because they don’t know they exist. And not to people who bring themselves to enforce them because they don’t formally exist. So, as keeper of the official list I’ll set the rules in writing and make them official.

Epilogue

Wow, another new epilgoue. This time by ME! I haven’t written an actual epilogue in a few years, so it’s been quite the wait.

Issue #17 – Conspiracy Theory. Read it. You want to believe.

Epilogue, Megaman Mysteries

Another EPilogue update? By Topman!? Wow, it’s nostalgia month on the ‘Maniacs. Read Issue #16 – Much Ado About Twincest!. It’s …. eww. Hah.

Megaman Mysteries sees a nicely sized update. Various tidbits for many, many games.

MM1 has some info added on the first Wily stage.

MM3 has a bit about an “unused” sound effect, and a lost rush “sprite”.

MM6 has a couple oddities listed.

Wily Wars has an unused sprite added.

MM PF has a bit of info about an unused sound track

X2 has some unused sprites.

X3 has some info on it.

And, finally, Everyone’s favorite X games – X6 and 7 – now have beta screen shots up and notes on them.

Gauntlet’s Guides

An update … to Gauntlet’s Guides!? What??

It’s true! I’ve made a new one – Gauntlet’s Guide to Ten Things you Probably Didn’t Know About Unicron. The highlight is showing which Unicron is the biggest as that is the one new and interesting bit of Transformers info I have to offer that I found out all be m’self! But there’s other factoids that are obscure and some I point out myself too.

And, why a Transformers article on a MM3 site? I say: why not?
