Description TRANSFORMERS: SEEDS OF DECEPTION
THE MAGNIFICENT SAGA
SHORT STORIES: "POISONED CHALICE"


Story by Franco Villa

Art by Lau

Project and model sheets by Peter Istyle

Edits by Zac DeBoard

The complete saga is available in PDF format, featuring bonus art and secret files: Magnificent Crisis - PDF collected edition


NOTES

This piece is a sequel to The Artifacts .

The story continues in Magnificent Crisis .

Special guests in panel 4: Solonicum Prime (only part of his body), Monstructor, Sixshot, Galvatron, Nemesis/Nova Prime.

See the panel without lettering .

The Age Of The Ember is another reference to Solonicum Prime and the Constant Moons saga; you may remember both these names from Paradise Lost .

This is our Last "Seeds of Deception" story.
Not because we're not going to produce any more of them, but because after this our universe and our story-lines end: the Magnificence rewrites (reboots) everything, overlapping existing realities with new events/characters/interactions.

There's still the slim chance that another universe can be born out of this cosmic event, though.
Will this subplot ever see the light? It could happen, but we would like to focus on the past and tell more stories from the Age Of Sentinel Prime: Ratbat, Jetfire/Grimlock, Trannis, Blaster... and of course more of Magnus, Sentinel, Starscream, Shockwave/Soundwave, Omega Supreme.
And there's more of the possible future story-lines in Short Story: Far From Home .

The idea and the "poisoned chalice" concept came from a certain interview released by a certain writer

The answer to the Magnificence is the Unity Sceptre, not shown in this story but featured in this
Rodimus Prime art . What do Roimus and the Sceptre have to do with the impeding Magnificent Crisis?

Bene bene, mi sono intanto letta The Artifacts e questa, quell'appunto sull'ultima vignetta mi aveva incuriosita.
Bravissimi davvero tutti voi dello staff! L'uso di quell'artefatto, in effetti, potrebbe spiegare molte cose
La famosa vignetta Γ¨ geniale! XD
Massì, resettiamo tutto, tanto i lettori sono idioti e non se ne accorgeranno mai! Grrr... O_o

E ancora grazie! Ormai la Magnificenza Γ¨ la nostra ancora di salvezza: chi l'avrebbe detto che Furman giΓ  aveva gettato le basi per aiutarci in tempi di tale sconforto?
La sua intervista sembrava fatta apposta per scrivere questa storia "velenosa".
Il seguito sarΓ  di 10-11 pagine. I disegni sono pronti e il colorista Γ¨ al lavoro su pagina 3. SarΓ  epico! (Speriamo).

It seems that certain events can only be faced with irony
And it was amazing how the Magnificence was described by the Guru as the double edged sword we needed for this short story ^^

JZLobo In reply to Tf-SeedsOfDeception [2010-07-05 22:28:42 +0000 UTC]

Indeed. I'm still really curious about what Furman had in mind towards the Magnificance. I guess we'll never know. I couldn't blame him for keeping the idea close to his vest in case he ever gets to write for the G1-verse again.

Wouldn't it be fitting if it altered the user's personality, turning them into utterly idiotic douchebags like Costa seems to think "Rodimus" is?

The effect of the Magnificence is trans-chronal: the explanation works even in the flashback or in the stories completely set in the past

Lord-ShinRa [2010-06-27 21:37:39 +0000 UTC]

You had be worried there for a while. I thought after the first few pages it was going to contain some moronic anti-technology message.

Instead this looks like it's going to be a damn good comic

that it is,esp. its use of chars who've never been in any other media,like ironfist,the predators,and of course overlord(whose character nick roche made a great run with,based that cameo in megatron origin)and ah coolios,the infiltration protocol was a great con tactic and ah yes,impactor,the bot who went too far
