THE TRANSFORMERS: SEEDS OF DECEPTION
STARSCREAM
ACT 1

Story by Franco Villa

NOTES

New version of the page featuring a hi-res lettering!

Original art.

The opening structure is reminiscent of Soundwave's one in SoD: Shockwave/Soundwave.

Kup is still there, greeting the newly activate mechanoids, but Starscream cannot remain carefully passive as Soundwave for long.

More about Kup in Short Story: Remembrances.

Proto-kin term created by Simon Furman. A great way to replace the biological term "brothers", hardly fitting witht he sci-fi context of Transformers stories.

Double manga tribute in this page: Starscream's self-contemplation is an hommage to Pisces Aphrodite of "Saint Seiya", while panel 5 is an hommage to "JoJo".

This comic looks positively gorgeous! The lines, colors, and details are incredible.

And yes, Screamer is gorgeous.

However, whatever you do, don't tell him I said that! This guy has one of the biggest egos I've ever seen!

Tf-SeedsOfDeception Featured By Owner Apr 19, 2011

Hahahah, thanks!

But he already knows you said that. His ego makes him think EVERYBODY thinks that!!

Chibi-Doodlebug Featured By Owner Apr 19, 2011

In reality, his fangirls are probably the only ones who think he's handsome (besides him, of course).

Tf-SeedsOfDeception Featured By Owner Apr 19, 2011

Aren't they majority?

Chibi-Doodlebug Featured By Owner Apr 19, 2011

Definitely!

(I blame his fabulous heels.

Thanks ^^

Thanks, these are most gratifying words. I created the most comical part of this chapter and the final jokes, while Peter devised the more serious moments and opponents (such as the battle with the "Nemesis Trannis" in the last Act, that one day will be available).
And Tomoko developed and improved the script with amazing skills and eye for the tiniest details.

The collaboration between the story tellers and artists is amazing. This is wonderful work <3

Hey I like that "proto-kin" term. When did Furman coin it?

Tf-SeedsOfDeception Featured By Owner Jun 3, 2010

I can't really remember, but I think it was about Sunstreaker and Sideswipe (before IDW axed his long term plans).

JZLobo Featured By Owner Jun 3, 2010 Hobbyist Writer

I'm going to have to start using that too, now.

ShadowApook Featured By Owner May 29, 2010

Wow....this came out very quickly! I thought it would be a month or 2 at least!

Tf-SeedsOfDeception Featured By Owner May 29, 2010

We must thank Tomoko: she is very determined in her work!

katrover Featured By Owner May 28, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Vain from the get-go. Ha ha!

ArwingPilot114 Featured By Owner May 28, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

XD hahaha! Awesome last panel XD makes me laugh!

Tf-SeedsOfDeception Featured By Owner May 29, 2010

Thanks, that was exactly our goal: mix War Within with Animated fun

ArwingPilot114 Featured By Owner May 29, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

yay!

Clu-art Featured By Owner May 28, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Everytime I see the work of Tomoko I am stunned by her talent. This is GREAT!!!

Shadypenpen Featured By Owner May 27, 2010

Ah, a new SoD chapter. And this time it tells the tale of everybody's beloved, treacherous and power hungry future Decepticon Air Commander. As usual, for a fan work, this is very impressive as the presentation quality is in league with that of an actual and official comic book series.
