The next Series is Star Trek parody Starship Locations

The pilot for the 7 episode Starship Locations Strange Worlds is currently in production on the stages formerly used for Alt Transformers MUSH.

All of the MUSH can be seen online, as the complete two seasons, full series, for free, with making of and bloopers. 

Production on Starship Locations began immediately after MUSH wrapped with some but not many of the old sets being useful. TF fans will recognize some of the backdrops, but most had to be made new. 

Most of the summer was not spent doing the setup, but a lot was, and they had leftover scraps, so they built a fully realized Macross Bioship and a landing craft, just in case you need a Bioship in some later episodes. Heh. 

The hero ships, the Chimera A and the Emmetti Till A were built to scale slightly larger than their Chimera counterparts, indicating the Picard show era the new series will be set in, about 2402. 

It will be free to watch as usual. 

The filming did have a typical 3 day stall during this past week. It does not take MUSH cast any time at all to do this though, and it will not take 13 years, as did the Chimera, 2019, which is still out and doing well reviews wise. 

The sequel will take place 14 years into their future, in 2402, as the first was in 2388. 

The gap is because they had to jump as the characters have aged 14 years. 

All of the seven stories are based on premises and stories by other people, from the pilot inspired by David Gerrold of Star Trek fame, to Red Letter Media, to Channel Awesome, and Ancient Aliens Reviews.

They can see no reason that the pilot would not be ready by Halloween 2021. Wow. 

This is partly possible because still technically it's a lockdown set and there is one major voice actor.

Alt Transformers MUSH turns one year old, brings back that ship!

 Clint Cowpoke is directing the latest episode this season on Alt Transformers MUSH, with this being the home stretch for season 2. It was going to be short. The Trans Tech magazines had ended in 2004 before the release of Trans Tech 2. They didn't do any more magazines. 

The archive remained hidden for years until late in 2018 when it was found, and some of it updated, for the first official season of Transformers MUSH as a series. It had been hinted at. Corrosion of War without End was chosen as the pilot, and it turned into a 7 episode epic, a bit like those classic multi part ones. 

Corrosion began production in late 2019 and appeared in its first installment in March 2020 during the beginning of the pandemic.

It is now nearly a year later, there have been 18 season one episodes, including 11 originals based on the stories also, really feature films each one, done to that level of go motion. 

Season 2 originally had only 7 episodes, but they added 5 more after the tree part Beasties trilogy opener. With 12, including the epic finale using the classic Trans and Trans 2, and some of those stories scattered through season 2, it will be what has never been aired before. 

And so, last night we came full circle to the refit and rebuilt bridge of the Regis Maximus, ready to go after the missing battle fortress from the very recent episode that was just released, with Draconis and Maxus Karda back, and Maxus assuming his 'old body' so that his twin personal doesn't confuse, the crew headed out into a new adventure. 

Also in keeping with a mod to the Trans (short for Transformers) stories that peppered the season, the return of Green Megs and of G1 Jetfire will cause cheers. 

And also, Lady Hawk looks suspiciously like g1 Rob Powers Lexius. Rob Powers wrote Corrosion. This story is also one of his, Neutral Alliance, and others, so there, but he gets only a by line. Thery can't pay anyone for this, let alone royalties. 

Since his Corrosion was adapted, he had contacted our sister site to comment on it being fun, but not quite what he would have done, and also at some point, we need to include Lexius. Well, it's Jung's Lady Hawk, but it's basically Lexius. 

They couldn't call her Ladyhawke as in the 80s movie version. Heh. 

This reboot, reimagining of the Karda saga  is likely to go there also, in the finale. We have not skipped out on the epic!
