Ratbat: the full comic in PDF
 

Seeds Of Deception presents Ratbat: the full comic in PDF.

http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/200H...on-d35pbo7.jpg

With a new version of the cover, available on Deviant Art as well, the origins of the sinister character seen in War Within: The Dark Ages are now revealed!
Once a greedy industry chieftain, Ratbat was more than met the eye (or the optic sensor), as his business attitude was just a screen to hide his savage, primitive self!
When he realized that Sentinel Prime and the enlightened Cybertronian government could not be cheated or forced to let Ratbat recklessly exploit the natural resources of the planet, the wealthy mechanoid turned to the dark side of the society... the Underground Movement!
Featuring Bomb-Burst, the Mayhem Attack Squad, the Battlechargers, the Triggercons, the Deluxe Insecticons, Starscream, Grimlock, Megatron, Springer and the Wreckers, this is a tale of fall and resurrection that spans from the Golden Age to the Civil War!

Continuity notes, behind-the-scenes details and links to other comics are available on the Deviant Art version (each page features a Comment Section with credits and exhaustive commentary by the creators).

They are finally gathered all together!
For the sake of search engines, they are...
Terrorcons: Hun-Grrr, RipperSnapper, CutThroat, SinnerTwin, Blot.
Technobots: Scattershot, Lightspeed, Strafe, Afterburner, Nosecone.

But the mystery of the Hunt is still unsolved: will the Techobots be able to merge their skills and knowledge to find an answer, even without merging into Computron?

The Evil That Mechs Do: TransMissions 001
 

Transformers: Seeds Of Deception presents a tale from The Evil That Mechs Do.

Before the Civil War, before the Golden Age and the Liberation Epoch of Sentinel Prime, before the Interregnum of Omega Supreme...
...there was the Reign of Nova Prime.
Supported by his twisted counsellor Jhiaxus and the nationalists Cyclonus and Grindcore, surrounded by enigmatic characters such as Galvatron, Nova Prime carried on an Expansion Campaign aimed at conquering and reformatting the whole galaxy.

Chronicled here for the first time, the events of that era were hidden behind a carefully crafted propaganda of enlightened civilization purposes.
A collection of lies, twisted facts and perverted truths, known as Transmissions.

Metroplex alone is a a wonder by himself: a Transformer large enough to turn into a city that can host other Cybertronians. How advanced and complex must be the technology behind his existence? And what sort of effect does it have on those that are bound to live within the boundaries of Metroplex' world-like body?
