Well, lately I've been working on a new flash. Yeah, what else is new. Well, when I storyboarded this flash, it came out to be about 10 pages or so, which translates roughly to 10 actual minutes of screen time. But then again, this is probably the last flash I'll do in this series.

Yes, I am making SRM Transformers 4. I said I wouldn't, I said I couldn't, and I said I shouldn't, but I'm making it. Inspiration just hit after watching a good chunk of season 2 of Transformers G1 and the project took off. Finals just ended for the semester, so I've finally got some time to go back home from college and do some serious work.

This possibly final episode isn't as heavy on new characters as the last few, but I think that's a good thing. When you have too many characters things really get out of control and it's hard to tell what's going on. Almost everyone will be returning from previous episodes in the series, excluding a few dead characters or characters who would become redundant under the newer cast members.

I've made a kickass menu for it, built off the simple one I made for Fallout 3: Mel's Addiction. There are definitely better menus around on Newgrounds, but for one of my first forays into actionscript (SRM Call of Duty 4 being the first and Mel's Addiction being the second) it's looking pretty good.

Right now I'm about 3-4 minutes into the actual animation. I'm going home to get lines from my last voice actor in the coming week. This episode has the biggest cast yet, which including myself is 5 whole people. That doesn't sound like a lot, but for an on again/off again flash cartoon that's a good deal.

After this, I'm done doing parodies for a while. Newgrounds is flooded with parodies, and although most are video game parodies, I don't want to keep contributing to the trend forever. At least I don't make sprite fights, those are the worst. After this I'm going to do an SRM continuous series with something relating to a story arc. I'll test this out for about 3 cartoons and see where it takes me. Chances are that it won't get seen by anyone since it's not a parody of something familiar, but I'll at least feel good about making it. One episode is already written, which will keep me going for a bit.

And the SRM Transformers links for those who haven't seen them:
SRM Transformers
SRM Transformers 2
SRM Transformers 3

PS: Chances are, this is going to take a long time, so there probably won't be a Qwanzaamas cartoon for the SRM faithfuls this year. I'll make it up over summer.

Keep on keepin' on, or whatever it is you people say these days.

EDIT: I've decided to break it up into two parts. It's desyncing pretty bad, and only getting worse, so it'll end up being two 5-6 minute long parts. Also, this way people don't need to sit through 12 minutes of madness without a break.
