Arcee: Nightmare Planet | The Ascensionverse (Crosshairs Productions Collaboration)

Era: 10,000 years BCE
Location: Eukaris
Eukaris; home to some of the most dangerous and ferocious Cybertronians ever brought online. Regarded as ‘freaks of nature’ and ‘functionless’ by the old Cybertronian government, thousands of beast mode Transformers were shipped off to this distant jungle-covered swamp world millennia ago. As the Cybertronian Civil War expands across the galaxy, Megatron sets his sights on this planet as a new source of ferocious warriors. The Autobots too, led by Prowl, seize upon the opportunity to grow their ranks, and the two factions vie for the allegiances of the various tribes. In a small corner of the vast jungle however, something - someone - far more menacing lurks and preys upon Autobot and Decepticon alike… and now Intel Agent Arcee finds herself right in the middle of this repulsive recluse's territory.

This turned out spectacular Grant! The script, animation and overall atmosphere really is incredible, it's not easy letting other kids play in your sandbox but you really did the Ascensionverse proud and I look forward to our future collaborations!

[@ArchivesofCybertron]

My two favourites, the two best, are working together! This is so great!

[@soldierray153]

I really thought he was going to be dinobot since it takes place in dinosaur age well close to the last of the dinosaurs age

[@konstantinszelcs2766]

You're SURE this video's sequel's going to come out this year?

[@konstantinszelcs2766]

Oh, two years.

[@ArchivesofCybertron]

This is the gold standard of Stop Motion integrated with excellent story telling. I love it. I love you.

[@superomegaprimemk2]

I hope Acree and Springer surive to appear in the main series, I loved how they came across in this, it also gave me a couple of good chuckles like Springer riding Acree's alt mode!

[@singularspacegodzilla5465]

As much as I want it to come out sooner, I agree with you

[@coleseidell9109]

Nice. Using Tantalus as the villain is good thinking. "I've got better things to do tonight than die!" That good.

[@CrosshairsProductions]

that's Scavenger, not Tarantulas

[@coleseidell9109]

@@CrosshairsProductions really? He looked like Tarantulas to me. With the firing shots out the spider legs.

@@coleseidell9109 his actually turns into a ant, and from what we know, was uppose to be a transmetal inferno from bw

[@dragonfire4527]

​​​@@coleseidell9109not to mention the same serial killer vibes going on and possibly cannibal-like traits. But while Tarantulas is a sadistic, psychotic mad scientist (basically Shockwave only more deranged), Scavenger seems to be more of a cannibalistic serial killer/predator hunting others with no real goals outside of hunting anyone crossing his path and collect their dead bodies for his collection (kinda like Airachnid from Prime). He also kinda reminds me of Rampage from Beast Wars, a sadistic serial killing bot who killed for pleasure.

[@BlueStreakCinema]

Grant, this turned out amazing! I loved every second of it seeing Arcee and Springer together brings so much joy. The voice acting and the animation was outstanding! You and Joe never cease to amaze me with all this incredible content.

[@bradtobin839]

So, in this continuity, Springer's group of Wreckers was Motormouth (with the red helmet), Monsoon from Transformers Universe MOTA game (the yellow helmet provided by 2007 Bumblebee), Swagger from Transformers Universe (white and black helmet), Guzzle (blue helmet), Rotorbolt (from 2003's Universe comics, despite him originally being a Predacon; purple helmet) and Roulette, who's not seen here? Interesting.

[@GearshiftingStudios]

I finally got the chance to sit down and watch this. Great stuff! Absolutely adored this! Love Springer and Arcee and really dug their chemistry throughout. Scavenger is terrifying and the tension was def felt. This was all so damn good!

[@barricadethedecepticon1350]

He died with a horrifying scream.

[@primetimeanimations3937]

This was amazing. It’s so amazing to think that the stop motion community has grown so much that epic crossover like this are possible!

[@paperrain]

That was sick! Fits right in with the rest of the Accessionverse

[@fantasykaijugeeks5452]

GRANTMAN FILMMAKER: This short film was amazing the atmosphere the writing, the tone, and the interactions among the characters. Was golden also I love the way you, hinted at Springer and Acree's love creation and how they both get the satisfying kill on that terrifying Transmetal BUG! All in all a wonderful episode.

[@thelicensednerd1626]

This was great a good, fun and interesting story. There were a couple things that pulled it away from ascension but overall with those issue tweaked it was fantastic

[@ToaDaGardeKat]

Arcee gliding like Toa Lewa Nuva is 👌

Wow this was incredible, well done the both of you! Loved the relationships of these characters and it almost felt like a Dr Who meets Transformers episode!

[@singularspacegodzilla5465]

Hopefully this sequel is a work in progress, I really wanted to see this story continued, especially since it’s going to be 2 years since the sequel was going to come out. I still really want this sequel

[@slacknhash]

Sarcasm, trauma-bonding, and dual-wielding. The key to any successful relationship!

She crashed on Eukaris? Ooh, there's gonna be beasties! So Arcee can glide in the same way as Lewa Nuva? And there's our first beastie and it's Scavenger no less. He can do the machine gun legs too? That does make sense. And using his beast legs like rudimentary manipulators makes sense too since he doesn't have hands. 14:28 Ah! He said the line! It's nice to hear bots casually talk about others bots. Reminds us that while mechanical; they're still people. And there's the smooch... Cutting Scavenger's beast legs off is a smart idea. Oh hey a ship! But who's tha~ O~oooh... That's not good... And a whole year until part 2!? We~eeeh!

[@ultimateknight4667]

I may be late to the party, but this was a very good stop motion Transformers story. Although there were some dialogue and action scenes that I couldn't understand.

[@crulrange3587]

Nice take on the first meeting of arcee and springer as well as a start of their relationship. And this maniac hunter you chose, transmetal inferno is also an original take which can be taken reference to the rivalry between arcee and arachnid. If you‘d take arachnid, this would‘ve sucked. Great job I say!

How they killed Tauntalas was scary 😨.

[@dedalionarts6077]

Over WOW.... Syriesly this was a "movie worth" story, my only nick picks would been the "heads" were choose at ramdom isn t it, (since you mentioned official characters from the lore, it was kind of sad that to be honest, non of the heads really fit them, at least in my opinion ) plus the scene where Springer was holdin one the heads, ( he was holdin it in a way facing him, but in the next scene where he droped it, it was facing forward the screan, tiny continuity error, but error non the less) And I have to say, an interesting way of introduction for a Beast wars Scavenger, droping the "psychologicall warfare" for trigger happy "Airachnit-a-like" cannibal..... And yea, nice job 👍...

I don't like Springer. But I do like the fact that you added his iconic line. "I've got better things to do tonight than die!" And who was the one Arcee was talking about? I've waited 3 years for Godzilla vs Kong, I'm confident that I can wait 12 months for part 2 of Arcee. I'm actually thinking of creating another Transformers stop motion video. This time just on a smaller scale.
