Sign-ups for the event open in less than a week! Curious about what a Reverse Bang entails? The Decepticon Disinformation Division has put together an infographic just for you. Feel free to check out our Big Bang infographic from last year as well if you want to learn more.
Full text under the cut:
Page 1
Reverse Bangs and You: An Infographic, featuring: Josh Boyfriend, corporate shill’. Brought to you by the mods of the TF Big Bang.
What is a Big Bang?
Big Bangs are fandom events where writers and artists are paried up to create a fic and art collaboration. They’re meant to generate an ‘explosion’ of new fanworks, hence the name. In traditional Bangs, the writer comes up with a fic concept, and the artist illustrates the resulting fic.
So… What’s a Reverse Bang?
In a Reverse Bang, the format is flipped. The artist comes up with a concept for their piece, and the fic writer uses that art as their prompt. This is what we’re doing this year!
Why a Reverse Bang?
1) A different dynamic. This year, artists get the chance to come up with their own prompts, and collaborate with a writer on a short fic. It’s an opportunity to approach your ideas a little differently!
2) Meet the community. Embrace the opportunity to become involved with the wider Transformers creative fandom!
3) Collaborate. Make something fun and exciting together with new friends! This is a chance to broaden your creative horizons.
How Does this Work?
Sign-ups: Artists have until March 24th to join. Writers have until April 7th to join. You must join the discord to participate. Remember- if you sign up, you’re in!
Artists' sketch submission: Artists submit their initial sketch to the Big Bang mods on April 28th. Sketches are shared with writers, who’ll then rank their selections for match-ups.
Pairings!: The mods will use our special algorithm™ to assign each writer one (1) artist from their top choices.
Creation period! Artists and writers will be set loose into their team channels. You’ll have from May 6th - June 30th to finish your fic and artwork. At the end of it all, it’s time to post your work and say “Whoa, I did that!”

2024 Logistics:
Want to work with someone new?
Meet new friends! Work with a prompt you might not have thought up on your own! Random pairs aren’t exactly random. Writers will rank a set number of artworks they would be interested in using as a prompt for their fic, and the mods will algorithmically assign teams based on this.
Already have a collaborator?
Pre-paired groups come into the event knowing they want to work with each other. When applying to the event, there will be a line where you can request a partner. In order to be accepted as pre-paired, both the artist and writer must request each other. The second section is about the size of the event.
This year we go mini!
Smaller commitment: Lower requirements, lower stress. We’re requiring one (1) full illustration from our artists and 5,000 words from our authors.
Faster timeline: This year, our turnaround from sign-ups to posting is only four months. It’s a smaller commitment!
Bitesized fun: Get a little taste of collaborating with a new friend in the fandom!

My entry for the @tf-bigbang, this short comic of @diroxy’s fic spark eater, spark stealer, you’ve met your match! A time-traveling adventure in which Brainstorm will try to fix his own mistakes, I recommend you read it first since this is a bit spoiler-y.
Don’t forget to check out mmskas_ amazing art of the fic on twitter and instagram too!
This scene was so intense I couldn’t just draw one thing, I hope I did it justice, I will link the fic when it’s posted.
