Greetings fellow Transfans and thank-you for stopping by my site.
I became hugely interested interested in Transformers from the age of 8 back in 1984, an 80's cartoon a, toy and comic series that captured every boy of that era's imagination across the globe. After rediscovering the toys in 2001/2002 and getting connected to the Internet, I found various TF websites & forums where I read old comics for hours on end; returning to my childhood love, after a gap during the G2/Beast Wars Beast Machines years.
At various Transformers boards I learned to role-play, (RP or RPG's), here I met a whole new array of fans and learned how to extend my own creativity in helping participate in interactive role playing (something prominent in my own forum over the last two years). It was here that a good friend of mine, "HeavyAssault" as his handle ,created a new faction called The Renegades. It's a long story, but in short, a third rival faction in the RPG to the Autobots and Decepticons. He, myself and one other named Latyrx7, made them very popular and what started as fictional faction soon became a serious adventure for us, uniting the three of us as friends, online work colleagues, and as a second family. The Renegades became our serious, full time realisation on the net, taking on Autobots and Decepticons in forum RPG's at our forum, with a complete history and universe behind us.
I caught up though and fell in love with US G2 comics and the Beast Wars series, after rejecting it in the 1990's. I first got online in 2001 and immediatly began looking for websites with online scan of the UK comics. I found that site. After reading for hours and hours till the early hours of the morning I eventually joined the message board - my first ever Internet forum. A year later, having met many new great TF friends & fans it was inevitable I would start my own message board, it was a dream. Almost eight years later and we're still going strong - better than ever in fact. We are due to celebrate our 8th anniversary on 26th August 2010. Twenty-Four years after the original movie, we have now had a two live action movies, with a third one currently due to debut next year. Having run my forum for almost six and a half years at the time, I felt it time to make some sort of basic site for the forum.
This site is a dedication to our community, the heart of Total Transformers. Comissioned after on the 26th August 2008, our message board's 6th anniversary, we launched - not as a major Transformers information site, but as an independant. A site for the members, and featuring their input. There are so many commercial Transformers sites out there, that it's a hard market to corner when it's all been done already. So we have opted for a more personal site dedicated to our message board and it's wonderful members.
So sit back, take a pew, and feel free to look around. I hope you enjoy the site!
Thanks for reading.
