Moo!
Now that's out of the way, hello again!
It's honestly been way too long and I should post on here more. I do miss the community and wish it was active again.
Anywho, I thought I'd give a small update regarding life, the universe and everything. Well, maybe not the universe and everything, but life will do.
I was recently crowned with a new title within the Transformers community. The Transformers Animated continuity in particular.
A little backstory... I was a friend of the late lead designer of Transformers Animated Derrick J. Wyatt. For the last several years I've been trying to maintain the legacy of a specific character who he loved so much.
Henry Masterson, AKA The Headmaster.
Because the character has remained entirely un-utilised in official Hasbro media for over 15 years, I have been attempting to maintain interest in him, specifically by creating new artwork, gathering production art and other official media and compiling a historical database.
I admit that I possess a distinct creative insight into the mechanics of this character in a way that many might not even know. His personality, vernacular, and cadence, right down to his purple hair and specific late-90s/early-2000s 'l33t speak', perfectly mirror my own teen years. Try not to cringe. LMAO
Because I lived that exact subculture and era first-hand, I absolutely fell in love from the moment I laid eyes on the concepts of this character. I even remember the first time I saw a pic from Derrick of him I was like; "WHO IS THAT" Derrick, knowing me perfectly, replied with "DON'T".
It's an odd sort of task, collating and compiling things for a niche character who only featured in a few episodes, but this guy meant something to Derrick and also to me.
I'm doing my best to keep this lad alive in his memory.
Total Ownage, lame-os!
