The TFcon website has been updated with the announcement that Matt Moylan, the creator of Lil Formers and former Post Production Manager for Dreamwave Productions, will be a guest at TFcon Toronto 2009 on April 25th and 26th. He will be setup all weekend in the dealer room doing sketches and offering prints. You can check out a preview of his Lil Formers: Generation 1 print at LilFormers.com.

Good to know! I'll be sure to check your stuff. Been checking Lilformers since BLAM! BLAM! BRA-BOOM!
Precisely. You dislike the style, and you're dissapointed by the quality of the animation (I didn't agree with that, but have found the animation rather bad in season 3, specially on "Three's A Crowd"). Still CrypticIllusionist's point still stands: it doesn't mean the show automatically sucks.

Afraid I won't have t-shirts there(various reasons but mainly it's just not cost effective), but they are available through <A LilFormers.com . Will have many prints though. and sketches!
I'll have a table! Along with TFcon, Botcon will be the only show I do this year by myself (as opposed to the gillion other shows I work as Managing Editor of UDON)
If you mean my opinion of Animated that's not correct. Regardless of what I think of the style, I am much more dissappointed in the low quality/low budget animation.

Matt I like your work, I myself ike Animated and if Matt likes it or hates it, well it has no impact on my feelings towards him as a person because I do not know him. All this is really sad to hate someone cause they do not like a cartoon, WTF is wrong with people?
Now I have seen the name David Willis in this thread, this guy I do not like, Why? Because he is a dork that really yanks my chain! everytime I see this clown at Botcon with his Nintendo DS crew I cant stop laughing. He thinks he is someone special and cool because 300 lbs. fat guys follow him around and he was the first to get laid before him and his friends hit 35,
For more info on this guy here is a wiki page im sure he added lol..

Yeah, I think you got your wikis mixed up.

The last episode of Animated I watched was the first one. I didn't like it.
I have no idea who David Willis is,either.
How does that make me or any other non-fan of the strip automatically a troll? It's just not a very funny comic strip. It's not even really unfunny enough to be notable,since the internet is practically drowning in poorly drawn webcomics and lame jokes about 80's pop culture as it is,without one more piling on.
llamatron
Nah, just calls 'em like I sees 'em.

Great poster, Matt.
Will you have a table at Botcon, or are you just going as a fan?
True. Very true. Even Matt has fallen for that.
I think you're getting your wikis confused … not that I find tfwiki's snark funny per se.
QFT!

I just don't like it because he ruins potentially good punchlines with straw man arguments.
The ever infamous Prime strip COULD have had potential to be funny as the various Primes cover flaws in their respective stories… but in the end, it simply becomes movie hate and "animated's animation sure does suck" rather than mocking of the CHARACTER.
I mean Primal's big joke was that he wasn't "Prime". Could have easily been a joke about how Optimal Optimus never got to do anything cool after its first apperance, or how his crew didn't listen to him at first, or even just "Beast Machines? Never happened."
Eh. Whatever. I personally don't find Lilformers very funny, but cut and paste web comics rarely do it for me.

Dude, did you get banned there or something?

Some people really need to grow up and stop being such babies.
You don't like Lil Formers?
Fine, that's your choice, but to continually moan about it is pathetic.
You know what I do when something parodies something I like.
I shrug it off and get on with my life.
Some of you get far too butthurt about the littlest of things.

I happen to like Matt's work… although since it's not really front paged anymore, I haven't read it in a while (really made it much easier for lazy people like myself).
And I have no idea who this David Willis guy is… guess I'm not cool enough to know his awesomeness.
And Matt, remember… You're nobody 'till somebody hates you. Guess you're really somebody now!

Heeeey, welcome back GWFreak.

There is more to Fair Use laws than just parody. And there's significant difference between using Dreamwave art, the rights to which are owned by Hasbro (IIRC), and art he made himself.

well i always see people on ebay sell shirts with prints of dreamwave works all over them.. when i actually contacted one guy and asked him the legality of it all he became very defensive.. anyways its not exactly like selling fake Phish merchandise out of you van in "lot"
kidnicky
Is it even legal for the guy to sell shirts? I mean,can some dude just draw Optimus Prime on something and sell it? I guess it counts as parody,but in the case of the poster,there isn't a joke,it's just Transformers drawn cuter than normal. How's that a parody?
Llamatron should be the new Lil' Formers artist,since his comic was actually funny. And it was illustrated better.

Matt, great poster but will you have T shirts at tfcon? really want to pick up a couple
