Description
This is a highly flawed story.

'The Curse of Protoform X' here was written back in 2000, a little over 13 years ago. This was written by me and the art was done by Jason Moser, who's work you can find here: the-lone-voice.deviantart.com/ It's an old story and we were a lot less polished than we are now, and hopefully I can be forgiven for some of the rather tactless and “fanficy” dialogue. (Seriously that bit of self-examination at the end, just does kinda come out of nowhere, doesn't it?)

You see, at the time, there wasn't a lot of webcomics online yet, and even fewer fan comics for Transformers. There were a few here and there, but Don Figueroa hadn't come in with his game changer Macromasters yet. If you wanted a TF comic, you had to settle for the Botcon Convention comics, which came out once a year. So Jason and I thought it'd be kinda fun to see if we can fill a void here with some original stories. He was really getting into CGI work at the time and I was wanting to spread my writing a little more. The TF Franchise was in the Beast Era at the time and we figured that's a good a place as any to start. At first we did a loose adaptation of the missing script called “Dark Glass”, which we did right before this story. It seemed pretty well received, and thus inspired us to keep trying and push forward onto this story. There was a character in Beast Wars named Rampage, also known as Protoform X. He was some sort of experimentation that due to some mutant aberration with his spark, so he was a virtually immortal monster. We thought it'd be kinda fun to take a peek into that with this story.

This story is five pages long, but unfortunately, we just do not possess the higher resolution pages anymore, so this is as good as we get. These were made back in 2000, when the standard monitor resolution was 600 x 800. So I just compiled them into one long page. There's some rough spots in here. Some stuff that I know Jason would do differently and some stuff that I certainly know I would re-write totally different as well. The Dark Glass story we did before is longer, but not as well paced. There's some lines of dialogue in that thing when makes me cringe like you wouldn't believe. (I'd have uploaded that one, but a giant tall update of a 24 page story would be kinda cumbersome I think.

But you know, for all it's flaws... I still like it. I'd do it totally different today, but for a young guy who was still trying to figure out a lot of stuff, I don't think it's so horrible. Plus it was the first thing I ever had plagerized! Seriously, some guy back in the day, I don't remember how, took the story, and pretty much copied it word for word for word, making like... Two name changes, I think? Hey, I guess we were all young once, right?

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
