VOTE FOR SHOCKWAVE'S VEHICLE MODE:

I've gotten a lot of people asking me what Shockwave's vehicle mode is in my rewrite series. I've decided to make him a triple changer, with his terrain vehicle being a mobile command truck. But I'm torn between two different choices for his aircraft mode: a coaxial compound helicopter or an unmanned tiltrotor.

I feel like both choices are of equal quality and match Bayverse Shockwave's size, mass, and heavily-armed vibe that I maintained for this rewrite. So I figured I'd let you guys decide.

Which aircraft do you think fits my version of Shockwave the best? (FYI, both aircraft will come in a dull gray and purple paint job to match my version of Shockwave's color palette.)

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hey everyone! Just a quick update. I have a Writing Tips video coming out today that was meant to be released with the latest slate of uploads but the final edit was delayed due to the semester starting back up a couple of weeks ago. So I'm not "back" per se, even though I know that's what everyone will say when this video drops. So until further notice, I won't see you guys again until this semester wraps up! Hope you enjoy the video and it helps with your writing!

80's CU UPDATE:

Hey, everyone! I know it's been a long time since I've updated you all on the progress of my 80's CU series but I didn't want to rush it or leave any part of it half-baked. I want to ensure you guys get the highest quality and best possible versions of these stories.

We're taking a musical approach to the naming and thematic structure of the 80's CU so with that being said, we are officially going to refer to each phase as a "Mixtape" and each entry in the Mixtape as a "Reel" since it is a flexible term that is used in both the music and film industries. Here is the official lineup for Mixtape 1 of my 80's CU!

1. He-Man
2. ThunderCats
3. Duke: Real American Hero
4. G.I. Joe
5. Voltron
6. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Blood Brothers
7. Cobra Commander: Serpent's Rise
8. Megatron
9. Guardians of Grayskull
10. She-Ra: Rise of the Light
11. The Transformers: War Dawn
12. The Transformers vs G.I. Joe Part 1
13. The Transformers vs G.I. Joe Part 2

I plan on uploading a video where I breakdown every entry in Mixtape 1 and walk you guys through it step-by-step, but seeing as how Mixtape 1 has a total of 13 Reels (10 films, 2 one-hour specials, 1 mini-series), it's taking me quite a long time to get through them all. But I promise that as soon as I am done, you guys will get a video on it! Thank you for all of your support!

STAR WARS REWRITE SURVEY:

I've heard fans say that the Separatist army in the prequel trilogy should have been made up of clones instead of droids. Their reasoning being that having clones vs clones would be the namesake for the conflict being coined as the "Clone Wars".

But what do you think? Do you believe that the Separatist army in the prequel trilogy should have been made up of droids or clones? And why?

If you say "yes" to clones, which species or group do you think the Separatist soldiers should have been cloned from? Who/what would they pick to combat the Republic's Mandalorian-based clone troopers?

What would have made the most sense for the characters and world of Star Wars? Let me know down below :)

A really cool video I recommend for any Star Wars fan who is also interested in writing epic mythological stories, which I take it, is something a lot of my followers are interested in based on your previous reactions to my work. Enjoy the video! :)

TRANSFORMERS Q&A WITH PHOENIX STUDIOS:


Now that the first Transformers trilogy rewrite is coming to a close, I thought it would be a good time to invite you all to a Transformers Rewrite Q&A session where you can ask me anything you want about the first Bayverse trilogy rewrites (Transformers 1 - 3), why I made the story and character changes, where I got my inspirations, etc.

I'll also take the opportunity to address and explain/defend any writing decisions I made that I know several people disagreed with and/or critiqued. Not to create an argument or anything like that. But to show you all where my I was coming from while working on this series since I didn't want to spend too much time explaining myself in the rewrite videos themselves. Then we can discuss whether or not I succeeded at communicating/executing my vision for the rewrites :) 

And this should go without saying, but please only leave questions relevant to the first 3 Transformers rewrites or about screenwriting techniques specifically. Don't ask me about the future Transformers rewrites (Transformers 4 - 6) because I won't answer those questions anyways due to spoilers, and don't ask about other random rewrites that have NOTHING at all to do with this post. Try to keep your questions relevant, please!

So go ahead and submit any and all questions you have for me in the comment section down below and I will do my best to answer all of them in the Q&A video! Thank you for all of the support!

Q&A WITH PHOENIX STUDIOS:

Hi everyone! Sorry that Rewriting Transformers 3 Part 3 hasn't been uploaded yet. Editing has been delayed due to personal life things but don't worry! It will be done some time in the near future. ETA is yet to be determined.

In the meantime, I wanted to give you guys a cool opportunity to peek behind-the-scenes and see how I do things! I know I'm not done with my Rewriting the Skywalker Saga series, but I do have the sequel trilogy complete. So I thought it would be a good time to invite you all to a Star Wars Rewrite Q&A session where you can ask me anything you want about the Star Wars sequel trilogy rewrites (Episodes 7 - 9), why I made the story and character changes, where I got my inspirations, etc. We won't discuss the prequel trilogy rewrites yet (Episodes 1 - 3) since Ep. 2 - 3 are still in the process of being rewritten and I don't want to give away any spoilers yet. But if you guys want, I can host a separate Star Wars Q&A session for the prequel trilogy later :) Just let me know!

I'll also take the opportunity to address and explain/defend any writing decisions I made that I know several people disagreed with and/or critiqued. Not to create an argument or anything like that. But to show you all where my I was coming from while working on this series since I didn't want to spend too much time explaining myself in the rewrite videos themselves. Then we can discuss whether or not I succeeded at communicating/executing my vision for the rewrites :)

So go ahead and submit any and all questions you have for me in the comment section down below and I will do my best to answer all of them in the Q&A video! Thank you for all of the support!

WRITING CONSULTANTS WANTED:

The more time I spend crafting the saga of the 80's CU, the more I have come to realize that this project is too vast for just one writer to handle - regardless of how passionate, experienced, and dedicated they are. There are just too many stories, characters, and pieces of lore to keep track of by myself. There are a lot of moving pieces, and I have already caught myself slipping on some minor (but still noticeable) hiccups and inaccuracies in videos that I have already published within my 80's CU. So, I have decided to open the door and invite anyone who is an expert on 80's cartoon media to come onboard and serve as writing consultants. I need people I can turn to and help me fact-check obscure lore elements while I am writing these stories and characters for the 80's CU. In a way, I need scholars on 80's cartoons :) I am specifically looking for people who are extremely proficient in the following franchises:

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (all versions and adaptations)
- ThunderCats (all versions and adaptations)
- Voltron (all versions and adaptations)
- He-Man (all versions and adaptations)
- She-Ra (all versions and adaptations)
- SilverHawks
- G.I. Joe (all versions and adaptations)
- Street Sharks (yes, I know this is a 90's show, but as I mentioned before, it has so many elements of the 80's in them that it just makes sense to include them here as they fit better here than they do anywhere else)
- TigerSharks
- Dino Vengers
- The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers
- BraveStarr
- Bionic Six

TheDarkLord and I have Transformers pretty much covered as far as lore and fact-checking are concerned. And while I do know enough about each of these listed franchises to feel comfortable and confident enough to tell a cohesive and respectful story about them, I wouldn't consider myself a master on any of these franchises and their multiple series, adaptations, reboots, games, tie-in comics, etc. Which is why I would like to surround myself with people who are. You don't need to be a master scholar at ALL of these franchises. If you only know ONE of these IPs like the back of your hand, then that's totally fine! Leave your email in the comments down below if you are interested in helping us out with this huge 80's CU project. Tell us which IPs you are interested in becoming volunteer writing consultants and advisors for. Please note that we would only call upon your assistance as-needed. This is not a job offer or an invitation to permanently join the channel as an official co-writer. All of the help that you provide as an 80's CU scholar/consultant will remain either anonymous or credited depending on your comfort levels.

Thank you all for your continued support and for helping this channel grow into what it has become today! :)
