During the comic Q & A session at Auto Assembly yesterday Simon Furman briefly mentioned some of what is in store for the Beast Wars Profile books and beyond.
- The profile books will include all the toys released in the US, both show characters and non-show characters. The bonus, though, is that they will also include the characters from the Japanese series, Beast Wars Second and Beast Wars Neo! Beast Machines, though, won't be included but Simon said it is still going to be in continuity.
- Regarding the Vok, Simon said that they won't see the printed page for the time being.
- Dinobots! Asked if we'd see any more of the G1 Dinobots in Beast Wars, Simon said not the G1 style Dinobots, but we will see "Beast Wars style" Dinobots. He also hinted that we'll be seeing them fairly soon, in the upcoming Shockwave one shot.
Simon and the rest also talked about the G1 style mini for a little while, but mostly it's nothing we've not heard before. Infiltration, though, is Simon's favourite TF-related piece of work as he gets to write from a clean slate, rather than picking up an existing thread from someone else as he has done in the past with Armada, Generation One, and even to a degree The War Within.
David Kaye was great, by the way. It was really nice to meet the man himself, Wreckgar, you might be pleased to know he'll be voicing Iron Man on the new Fantastic Four series!
