LINK TO PART 7.1: [link]LINK TO PART 5: [link]
LINK TO PROLOGUE:[link]
Whoo! Finally I get around to doing Part 6! I had other stuff I had to concentrate on and so I only was able to start this just this past Thursday.
Frankly I think that my art is a little sloppy in this chapter, but I blame Megan Fox for that; for some reason when it actually came down to drawing her I felt really... bored; I have a lot more fun with Sam's exaggerated expressions and all the little fiddly bits of the robots, so I rushed to get to Flareup and her visual gag, and I feel like maybe the rest of the art suffered for it.
Yes, that is a robot carrying a pot full of Ramen, and not instant Ramen either; Flareup loves to cook and she makes her Ramen from scratch!
The only other thing I feel I need to draw your attention to is that as I was writing I suddenly decided to use the word "Wheelsnake" in the script, which was coined by "HauntedBreaker" [link] to describe Arcee and her sisters.
I WAS going to have Sam refer to her as some kind of "traitor", possibly as a "Benedict Arnold" or a "Delilah", but given that calling a person a snake is the same as saying they're slimy, shifty, dishonest, back-stabbing jerk (which honestly doesn't seem fair to real snakes) it just seemed that tacking the word "wheel" on to make it Transformer-ish gave it great double meaning; describing both her physical assemblage, and the fact that Sam at the moment still thinks she's all those negative things for "abandoning" Mikaela.
Fun, eh?
Also, I had an actual tune in mind when I wrote down Flareup's humming; that being that little Mozart bit from "The Marriage of Figaro". I don't know what it's called becasuse I suck, but if you've ever seen "Amadeus" it's the one that is supposed to play during the dance bit that gets performed without music at one point, and later is performed by the Vaudville troop with the words: "We're going to make a soprano stew..." added to it.
Haven't seen that movie? You really should...

*frowns*I'm left handed too...but that doesn't bother me while drawing.
You can't draw with either of your hands?

Purely out of my own ignorance: How so does being left handed make drawing difficult? If I know anyone who's left handed, they don't talk about it so I haven't given it much thought. (Wow, that sounds really callous when I read it back to myself! Please don't take it that way!)

Ramen is AWESOME, especially if you cook some veggies in with it, and for that reason it just HAD to make a cameo in my comic.

^^^ Dont listen to Beastboy dude. Were on the pulse of these things and we wouldnt definitely heard about this earlier. You know why.
Plus I giggled out loud when I read Wheelsnake! I have to somehow incorporate it into something of mine now too lol

Yeah, I don't know what I AM going to do if Hasbro suddenly actually DOES say they're going with "Elita 1"...
Probably I'll just have a chapter where Flareup suddenly decides she wants to change her name.
Also, glad to hear my use of "Wheelsnake!" was a success! It'll be fun to see what ya do with it in YOUR stuff.

HauntedBreaker In reply to Th4rlDEAL [2009-09-07 03:42:41 +0000 UTC]
I dunno how.
And if Hasbro changes it just introduce Elita as the FOURTH sister!

Th4rlDEAL In reply to HauntedBreaker [2009-09-07 17:17:38 +0000 UTC]
Heh...
"Argh! When did we get a fourth Sister??"
"I don't know, but I blame Wheeljack..."
"*sigh* Alright... which frickin' one of you two is which?"
...That or maybe Flareup could be "Possessed" by the "Ghost Spark" of Elita-1 a la Starscream Possessing Waspinator way back in Beast Wars...

... Unless of course they're BOTH still in her head, and then we'd get her equivalent of Animated Blitzwing.
Wow... that might actually be TOO much psychosis for my comic even!

I'm not sure if you've heard, but they abandoned the whole "Flareup" thing and christened the purple cycle "Elita 1" instead.

Hahaha~~
A cooking robot is way too funny.
I think the Flare up you drawn could be paired up with Toaster,[link] which was set as a cheif by me.

Nice! Toaster sounds like a pretty cool dude; I could totally see him as being Flareup's "Mentor" or something at least.
Good times!

Well, I like snakes and I like the Arcee trio, so I'm totally okay with the term "Wheelsnakes". ^^

Well, as I said... I really suck at knowing what it's called, so you're probably right!
Glad to hear ya like my inclusion of Breaker's word; it is pretty catchy, isn't it?
