"Time Traveller" comic

Yeh, you remember the one... used to live at Mechaex.com. Has that found a new home anywhere since that site folded? TVM!

Ah, cheers, my fault, but I was more after an address for linking purposes...

I found two pages saved so far... if someone has the rest and we can't spot it online, send it to me and I'll put it up...

Herve Creach's email address, hcreach(at)hotmail.com, is on the pages I have saved [cover to page 8, first 3 in colour and b&w].

I have the comic FAQ pretty much updated, btw, bar this one thing [I don't really want to cut it out as it won't get put back in again] and the hyperlinking... if you want a copy send, just let me know which email to do it to, though it'll need a read over as lots of it linked to bits on my site [which I'm tentatively updating, with a possible view to reviving], and the IDW section is pretty slim... I hate writing for things not out yet.

Erm, any decent online fan comics I've missed? So far the section covers CG2, 'Divergence', 'Diversion/Straxus Factor', 'Macromasters' and 'Time Traveller'.

****, Harry Beejan's stuff appears to be offline too

Orphaned works are one of those situations where I'll just post stuff (possibly with disclaimer to get in touch if bothered, if it seems at all likely)—I just don't have all of the files in this case.

Diversion et al have been down for ages. The site was let lapse due to bandwidth and time, as I recall. I have black & white copies of 1 & 2, colour of 3, and 7 pages of Straxus Factor.

If you've got anything else, denyer@tfarchive.com and mark it TFARCHIVE or TRANSFORMERS FAN COMICS in large, friendly lettering. It makes it easier to spot amongst the spam. FAQ too if that's okay.

I can only find the first eight pages online now, but Courage Under Fire. However, I did save the full 16 pages from whatever forum I found it on...

If you can send me the TT stuff, and any better HB stuff, I'll have an orphaned works upload session...

Sounds like you have all of Harry Beejan's stuff

I'll hold off on TT until we've seen what Ozz has got... Other stuff will be sent when Yahoo stops playing silly buggers

Macromasters can be found here:

http://www.macromasters.5u.com/photo6.html

Link in the FAQ seems to have only cover nowadays.

I have Divergence (which should still be online), Diversion (three chapters, last one in colour), 7 pages of Straxus Factor (Oh, now I get it why they call white Prime at the end "Magnus"! This predates War & Peace, right?), something called The New Minibots which I got from here, six pages of Time Traveller plus cover and pages 1-3 in colour.

And bunch of Transmasters UK comics, which I saved because art looked nice. By the way, is there some timeline for those, or do you just read that one... Globequake was it called?, and go from there?

Aye, for Macromasters I'll be changing it to the Archive one, as Denyer'll hopefully let me know if it disappears...

Divergence is still live

TMUK, I think Denyer tried to sort something but it basically fell through as there were so many people to contact, lots of whom Martin had no contact details for... For reading, basically there are lots of jumping on points, and they tend to explain anything that'll have you really going "...the Hell?". I'd recommend Globequake and The Story of Hubcap as great stories that read well with minimum backlog... And for the comics, A Rage in Hell reads terrifically... if it's not online anywhere, drop me a PM... I do have a timeline somewhere, I'll have a rummage

And Denyer, I'll send you Time Traveller as I seem to have the most so far. Osku, will you raise me page 8?

For TMUK stuff I recomend The Underbase - it has synopses, links to online copies, etc. I really should get around to sending my stuff in but I'm so bloody lazy.

Ah, the URL's theunderbase! D'oh, silly Cliffy

Denyer, you might need to tweak that FAQ...

There seems to be a bit of a problem with some authors not wanting their stuff online, though—it makes it hard to read through a group-written universe.

I tend to enjoy TMUK stuff, but I still don't think it's very accessible/findable for new readers.

Anyone in particular who didn't want their stories online? I cant think why, apart from maybe Eugenesis, but I think James is considering putting that online now.

General feeling with the older stuff (relayed via MM) was that authors would rather people read their current stuff.

I realise some older writings (especially CG2 main strand) aren't always on the ball, but they're a big part of the history of UK fandom. Covers are online, but the strips no longer seem to be. (And they were on an unstable freebie webhost when they were.)

Those who'd had copies of my CDs have got stuff such as the ~94Mb that was up at the CG2 Archive...

Great news about Eugen if it pans out. And if anyone needs bandwidth for any of this, keep us in mind. I can imagine demand for (what's certainly to me, anyway) the best extended TF prose around would be high.

I'll get comics up, then add the links to the FAQ and update that.
