More a headcanon than an AU, But...
Thomas is actually named after the First Fat Controller 'Topham Hatt' (Before her was knighted, obviously) and Thomas is just nickname.
Gonna have to agree with some of the others here that its sad people are just joining to suggest mesh edits instead of actually learning to mesh edit themselves.
If I can learn to mesh edit, you can learn to mesh edit.
2012 was technically impressive at the time, but It's also aged the worst out of any of the above. And like 09 it didn't last long enough before the site shut down and the only reason anyone stuck with them for so long is because we didn't have anything better until like 2018.
🧵 Ignoring my reskin biases…
06 is like Mario 64, in that, people have taken it all apart and put it back together so thoroughly to study it that you can basically do anything you want with the style if you're willing to put in the time.
09 is just a worst 06 and didn't last long enough before being replaced to leave any real real impact. Also baked just looks uglier to me compared to the 06 sine
2010 beats 09 by a long shot and AJS scripting is a godsend (Though I personally prefer chameleon)
I like how Montague's eyes are still there. Implying he's still the main villain somehow. Making this ten times more stupid, yet ten times more interesting if someone was bat-shit enough to expand this.
It’s funny. I've always had a similar philosophy of “A character can be based on anything or just be a reference to another franchise because it's cool,” with varying results in quality, of course. I've been doing this for a decade after all.
With all this talk of finding old Thomas videos, I figured I would do a little thread on how you can (theoretically) find that old Thomas video you remember watching.🧵
Now, this is no guarantee this will work, shit can just be deleted. If all else fails, check the Internet Archive, or an archive channel would be your next best bet. Thomas Fandom Archive is pretty cool and has a good variety. https://t.co/lptpJhrXIP
