| The Lost Episodes: The Ending |
|
I never read the later episodes written by my former co-author Sean Corse after we split on this project, so I don't know what happened in his later installments. As far as I'm concerned, the last "official" Lost Episode written was Episode 23. That said, several of the existing episodes are only available on his website (located here).
This is what would have happened post-Episode 23:
- The "Tankorr" that rolls up is Grimlock. We resurrected him a while ago, but most people (including us) forgot. The instant we remembered, long after we created the Last Autobot plot, we decided he needed to come back. Grimlock tries to take on the Vehicons on his own... and fails. Like, who didn't see that coming.
- Grimlock was NOT the last Autobot, as he had been upgraded to a Maximal. That's how we plugged that plot hole. He also turns out (in our continuity) to be Rattrap's father. He tells NickBee about his true nature (see next point), but succumbs to his injuries and dies in Rattrap's arms. T-Wrecks stands in awe of the original Dinobot leader... and finding out that Rattrap may have more claim on that heritage than he does.
- NickBee is the last Autobot - and it turns out he's Wheelie... hence the ability to rhyme. Guys, we said early on that NickBee had an Autobot spark - like directly. That WASN'T a plot hole or a forgotten line. Okay, so it was made before we ever considered doing a Last Autobot story... and decided NickBee was the Last Autobot before remembering we'd already told people he had an Autobot spark... but still! Once we figured that out we decided we were really clever.
- Mr. BAMT travels into another universe via a FBT Network Magenta vortex ( accidentally taking Benny, Geever, and Crawley with him... and a ball of light intended to be Nickbee's spark -- see below -- as a portion of Cybertron collapsed above him while generating the vortex), to set up the all-original character driven spin off starring Phil Bond, Mr. BAMT, and a mysterious secret agent... who would have turned out to be Optimus Primal, taken through the FBT network... okay so not entirely original characters. But we would have only implied it was Primal in an overcoat, and never said his name. Other prominent characters would have been Nickbee (in a new body constructed from broken Bumblecon drone parts), Geever, Crawley, and our version of Benny - who if you recall is actually an alternate universe version of the ACTOR who played Benny... and yes he's still blue and has the drone parts attached to himself. Oh, and Agent 37 would still be there, but her history would have changed. Remember, that whole universe was to be reset in the inoften read Lost OAV Phil Bond Adventures episodes Sean was writing. This was to tentatively be called "Agents of C.A.I.N." and would have been initiated with a classic Phil Bond style episode "Their World Is Not Enough" (miming a James Bond title like the other Phil Bond adventures).
- The end resolution is VERY different. To reformat the planet, the collective sparks of Cybertron must give their lives to reformat the planet - but to do that, they need the aid of the last remaining Autobot Spark (which is linked to their origin in the All Spark). They do so willingly, and NickBee, realizing his true destiny, ends up giving his life to merge with the planet. Primal's fate is the same as seen in the show... sort of. As NickBee is the key, Primal must only jump start the reaction. While doing so though, he battles Megatron - and they disappear into a flash of light as they plummet towards the planet's core. Nickbee's body is destroyed, but his spark is seen to leave his body in the end, and later collide with Mr. BAMT as he falls through the Magnenta vortex...
- The list of survivors is MUCH shorter. Rattrap, Botanica, Silverbolt and Blackarachnia all survive - all other characters (whose fates have not been previously mentioned) die in the final battle for Cybertron. The four are left to begin a new world, as a slightly less incestuous Eden.
