Hi, gang. I've decided that since trilogies are all the rage these days, I'm going to turn my Joe/TF saga into one. You already read the first part, "G.I. Joe Meets the Transformers." Next up is "G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers," which I've already posted some previews of. The third segment will eventually be called "G.I. Joe and the Transformers."
Why am I telling you all this? Well, our site owner Hammerfel and mod Sonneilon may wish to pay attention as I explain. Yesterday I was shooting some scenes for the "vs." story, and it struck me that this middle segment of the trilogy is very Transformer-heavy. The scene I shot yesterday, which will probably wind up being four or five pages long, is set entirely on Cybertron in the past and explains how Skyfire came to wind up on Earth. There aren't even any humans present, let alone any Joes.
Now I use this scene as an extreme example. I doubt there will be many other scenes of that length that feature no G.I. Joe characters, but I wanted to issue a fair warning to everyone so you know what you're in for. I know I've been apologetic about this sort of thing in the past, and Sonneilon has OK'd me on it, but I'd still like you all to know that I'm not trying to turn this site into TFDios, and I'm not trying to start a trend that would lead to other people posting non Joe-related photos (since we've had some issues with that recently).
Anyway, that covers what I needed to say. I hope everyone's still okay with it!
(On the plus side, though this segment of the saga is laden with Transformers, the third segment will be very Joe-centric... Or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it Cobra-centric! They kinda dropped out of sight before the big conclusion to the first story, and despite the first preview you saw a month or so ago, they also play a smaller role in the second one. But come the third one, they'll be the main characters for a good chunk at the very beginning.)
