Transition Poses Some Ethical Questions. Such As, From What Age Should You Be Allowed To Irreversibly

“transition poses some ethical questions. Such as, from what age should you be allowed to irreversibly change your body.“

This of course completely ignores the fact that puberty makes irreversible changes to your body. But let us just rephrase the question: “from what age do you gain bodily autonomy?” Now it gets very easy to answer: From the moment you’re fucking born.

Transformers: EarthSpark Missed Connection storyboard!

When I first started on the production I knew Nightshade was going to be my favorite, so getting to work on their episode was a treat!

This was the first (and only) episode I was on where we had the voice recordings before we started boarding. That is, with the exception of Bumblebee and Alex. So you still get to enjoy SOME of my scratch audio!

The intro for this episode was reworked and streamlined to get the runtime down. Originally, it opened with Robby and Mo announcing to the Terrans that today was a "no school day" which meant no tutelage, only fun. Hearing this, Nightshade gleefully runs back into the barn trying to decide which scientific field they want to study! The other kids are baffled, but Robby shrugs, "we're just gonna have to show them how it's done." Cut to the opening title card, then we return to the story with everyone gathering in the pasture.

There were some design changes that happened after the fact, like the Smart Trainer and Nightshade's helmet. The dugout in particular got switched around, which impacted some of the staging in the final show. I feel ICON did a great job adjusting the shots to match the updated set!

Love the barely greenish parts...
