Simon Furman has updated his
blog with information on the comic for TFAuctions Mascot Cougar. As well as linking to the
Studio Cougar website, where there is a small graphic preview, Mr Furman posted the following.
Well, I promised you an update on the Cougar front, and what better way
to do it than with a disgression on my script for issue #1.
For those
of you who don’t have a clue who Cougar is, and therefore clearly
haven’t trawled through my archived posts, he’s a robotic adventurer
who began life as the mascot for the TFAuctions website, and has since
gathered a supporting cast and is now on the verge of his very own
comic book series. F
or some teaser images, check out Cougar’s dedicated
website here.
Right, the script
fror issue #1. Big question for me was: what differentiates Cougar from
certain, um, other robots with the ability to swap from upright bipedal
to vehicular form? Well, Cougar’s very much more in the
adventurer/explorer/daredevil mould than a warrior (though, as we
discover in issue #1, that wasn’t always the case!!) and he’s a lone
wolf, actively discouraging sidekicks and the like (more of that in
issue #2). He spends much of issue #1, despite some severe provocation,
finding ways to avoid a full on firefight, relying more on guile and
misdirection and general artifice and less on trading shots with the
locals. He’s all about the payoff, be it a rare artefact or a
long-buried secret or some valuable salvage, and he kind of specializes
in extracting said items from the most dangerous, inclement and plainly
inhospitable bits of the universe. He’s pretty mercenary in his
attitude, but, as he expresses in the first issue, he “either gets out
clean or doesn’t get out at all.”
In issue #1, after one opening foray
into the unknown (which is kind of linked to what comes next), Cougar
goes in search of a semi-mythical battle helmet, but there’s much more
to it than… no, wait, it’s not what it seems, and Cougar’s torrid past
comes rushing up to say ‘hi.’ We also meet Cougar’s main ‘big bad’ in
the shape of Fenrir (albeit briefly), get a look in at Cougar’s hidden
base on Earth (and meet shapeshifting ‘Sid’) and check out Cougar’s
somewhat unpredictable spacegoing vessel. Oh, and we’ve got a very
talented newcomer onboard for the art duties, whose stuff is just going
to blow you away (very excited about what we’ve seen so far). More on
him (and his pages) in future blog entries.
We’re looking right now at
a late 07 or early 08 launch. Keep checking back here for further
updates as stuff gets nailed down.

If you pop across to Seibertron.com they have an image submitted by Don Figueroa of an unused character design for a Transformer, looking a little like a suped-up War Within Grimlock.

Transformers legendary writer, Simon Furman, has updated his
personal blog with an entry entitled Pre-Comicon Ponderances. In the article Simon talks a little about what he's been upto whilst being in the states, what he will be doing, and tells us all to watch his blog for more on a story about Tokyopop EiC, friend to Simon Furman and editor at the end of the Generation One US run as well as al l of Generation two, Rob Tokar. If you are wondering just why Simon ins over in LA, well the answer is Comicon, so expect more reports from the man himself after that event.

Whilst at lunch today I popped into WHSmith and noticed that the latest issue of the Beano comes with a Transformers Sticker album and stickers. Though I can not remember the exact price, the comic was something like 58p.

Simon Furman has updated his
blog with information regarding Titan Magazines' UK exclusive Transformers Comic issue 6.
"Here we go again, and this time the topic for discourse (in as
spoiler-free a way as possible) is Transfomers (UK) #6. This issue
wraps up the first story ‘arc’, though as I’ve mentioned before each is a self-contained, single character-led entity. Here, the focus falls on Jazz, the last of those ‘lost in space’ after events in issue #2. I had two distinct things to accomplish here: one, present a story that draws out Jazz’s unique personality (like his G1 equivalent, he’s a culture vulture and wishes to experience as much universal diversity as possible), and two, bring the Autobots together again for a rousing, all guns blazing finale.
The first, main strand revolves around a planet that seems too good to be true (and, of course, is), and its
parasitic like effect on Jazz, who’s decided to hang up his guns for
good as the story opens. This one also features a Cybertronian
flashback and a guest star or two, one of which does appear in the
movie, one of which doesn’t (but is in the toy line).
The second strand involves the efforts of Ratchet to reunite with his comrades-in-arms,
but will he and Ironhide be in time to save Jazz… from himself? This
won’t be out until late November/early December, but trust me, it’ll be worth the wait.
No word yet on artist. Keep an eye on whatever discussion thread this blog entry engenders. Once I know more, so will you!"
