>>98154844In this incarnation, how did the Visionaries come to be?
About three-hundred years ago, the planet Prysmos was a highly technological society, and magic, what we call in-universe the Arcana Vast, was a sad, ancient religion practiced by virtually nobody except for Merklynn, the last great wizard. He was offended by this, and cast a spell that would realign the planet’s three stars, wiping out all technology on the planet so that magic would ascend again. Three centuries later, the spell destabilizes, and the gravitational forces of the stars re-aligning tears Prysmos apart, forcing them to flee, ultimately, to Cybertron. The Visionaries in this version of the universe are Merklynn’s force of magical soldiers, kind of like the Jedi, who were rent in two over ideological differences.
Were there any challenges you came across while writing the comic? Which scenes were you personal favorites?
Probably simply being onboarded with Transformers continuity and trying to get a feel for how to write them. I’ve been checked out on Transformers for a long time, so I had a lot of reading to do.
And my favorite scenes haven’t been published yet.
So why was Cybertron chosen as the new home for the Visionaries?
He’s [Merklynn] offended it even exists. He hates machinery, computers, technology.
Now this is a pretty high stakes comic. Are fans in for any more surprises in comic issues?
It’d be a pretty boring comic if they weren’t.
