SoD Metroplex: the PDF version
Transformers: Seeds Of Deception presents A Tale of Two City-Bots in PDF format.
The whole SoD Metroplex saga is now collected in one easy-to-download PDF file, featuring a Spotlight-themed intro and bonus art for Full-Tilt, Brunt, Scamper, Slammer and Six-Gun.
Long before the
Civil War. Before the
Golden Age.
Even before the
Prime Dynasty...there were the
Lawless Times.
An age without rules, where only the strong and the ruthless would thrive.
An age where creatures undreamed of walked the scarred, tormented surface of Cybertron.
Monsters, giants, celestials, abominations... and
Titans.
One of them was bound to survive the end of that age of wonders, and cross the eons to the present day. He would come to be known as...
METROPLEX!

Starscream has climbed the social ladder, becoming a very popular Cybertronian officer of law: everybody appreciates him, his teammates would die for him, and every corrupted businessmech on Cybertron wants to make deal with him.
For Starscream, of course, this is NOT ENOUGH!
Witness as Starscreams steps in the path of the Gladiator, and begins to worm his way inside the Underground Movement and the Gladiatorial Arenas...until the day Civil War erupts, and his true nemesis is revealed!

G1 Season 4: the "Italian Detour" - Primacron's Quintesson Shell
The Transformers: Seeds Of Deception presents a character concept for the online comics of G1 Season 4: "An Italian Detour".
The apparently insignificant being known as Primacron was responsible of the creation of Unicron, the Cybertronian Primitives and Tornatron. How was that possible, unless his meek appearance was only a facade hiding something grander and greater?
Throughout the millennia, the energy entity known as Primacron-- who had been created as an intermediary between two opposite cosmic forces-- used different avatar to interact with the physical universe.
When he had to persuade the Quintessons into creating the Cybertronians, he manifested among them using the Pretender Shell featured here for the first time.
