okay how’s that
… when I was writing for Beast Wars, we had a specific set of characters and a very strict rule against creating any new characters. I pitched a story idea that I thought got around the “no new characters” rule by calling for a new character that would be a conglomeration of parts from the other characters, so that existing components could be recombined rather than something new created. The story editor nearly didn’t pitch it, but liked the idea enough that he went ahead. It became the episode “Transmutate,” and the company liked the story enough that they went to the extra trouble of creating something entirely new for the Transmutate character.

These guys exist because Beast Wars needed more G1 in it.
Some familiar faces show up in Predacons Rising.
Unfortunately, this is another victim of Tumblr’s length restrictions - the full pan is 1925px. I couldn’t see breaking this one up, though.
