The Ark Addendum - Chaar

After an computer-related absence of over a month, The Ark Addendum is back!  As is often the case when I am away for a while, I try to find something extra juicy to remind you of just how cool character models can be. But I've been doing this for a couple of years now, and my stock is running low... what to share, what to share?  Ah ha, got it.  How about a lovely landscape of Chaar, the new Decepticon base after they are driven from Cybertron following The Transformers: The Movie?  I'd like to thank Monzo for making these available to me.  I actually did have a page on Chaar (well, Jaar, the Japanese name for Chaar) in  Transformers: The Complete Ark  (order it today!), but had I had this landscape I'd have probably featured it in the season three portion of the book, rather than the Headmasters portion of the book.  (I probably wouldn't have gone with a double-page spread like this, though.)  Hope you enjoy!  Next week, perhaps some Masterforce.

Wow. Fantastic artwork. Wish we had seen more of Chaar during Season 3. I like the repair bay. What a great post-apocalyptic setting for Galvatron, Cyclonus and the Sweeps.

Ditto, this looks really cool. Makes you wonder how great season 3 could have been...

Great to see the Addendum return, Jim! Having The Complete Ark, AA has been my main motivation for visiting this site (though I also enjoy the Marvel comic reviews) and I have been printing out every page and filing them by category in binders to sit alongside the CA on my bookshelf.

Even if you are running low on character sheets (weapons, transformations, etc.) it would be noble of you not to hoard the few that remain for too long, as it's lovely seeing gaps in teams being filled to make complete sets in the binders.

But either way, you have the undying gratitude of the fandom for services rendered to date.

All best wishes

Always liked Chaar, a great Decepticon base. Really loved the throneroom Galvatron had in The Burden Hardest to Bear, with all the monstrous statues. I wonder if there's a character model of the throneroom, as well... :)

I was getting worried that we would get no more Ark Addendums. I bought the books as well and love the weekly pages you post. Thanks for all your hard work.
