I wrote the first treatment of The Rebirth when I was a kid. Back when the Generation 2 comic came out and killed my favorite character. I immediately had this idea of having him come back via a backup as other Transformers had done over the years. And I wrote the first version of this story for the old Teletran fan magazine back in the day. I didn’t get much beyond this story. It looked different than this story, you understand. I’ve learned a lot about writing since I wrote that one. And its taken some different twists already. But it is still substantially the same story as it always was meant to be. The broad strokes are the same. The details are different, and the details are pretty amazing if I say so myself. I wrote this treatment because the creator of the old Teletran resurfaced after several years and decided he wanted to start it up again. I offered to freshen up and finish this story for him and he agreed. And if you get Teletran, you have already read this story. If you don’t get Teletran, here it is for the first time for you. And since this is complete fan fiction, I provide it here completely free.

You will see some art here. Some of it is art I hired real artists to do for me. Yes, I like Fortress Maximus enough that I hire people to do art of him. Some of it is pictures of toys that I used Grok Imagine to shift into cartoon colors and place on backgrounds of my imagination. Some of them come from scans taken out of old comics and heavily run through Grok Imagine to upscale them and reimagine and repose them. I try to make every piece of art shown here based out of something that really was Transformers. This is how I seek to keep this story grounded in the mythos that is the Transformers universe.
