Damn. Had assumed (as most would, I think) that the site fading out was time / priority of funds / other circumstances.

31 is a very harsh batting average. :(

It was quite a blow for me, too. A lot of us got hit hard by this.

The site slowing down was simply because of transition to Seibertron, but TFMaster was still going to head the thing. This is terrible. We'll all miss him.

Wow thats sad, I've looked over his website loads of times and loved his kitbashes, I'm sure the community will miss him.

It seems death has been following me on the net lately, on a hub on Direct Connect it was announced a few days ago that a popular member of the Direct Connect comics community had died. Then yesterday I went on to TV.com to find that a regular member of that site had died. Now this.... strange

My jaw dropped for about ten minutes before I remembered to close it.

A heart attack at 31, leaving behind a wife and son? I'm dazed.

Just remembered about how I had quite a few long conversations with him a coupla years back, he gave me loads of help in terms of kitbashing, told me what to do what not to do, tools to use, best ways to start etc, he was such a nice, helpful guy.

That's terrible. I never knew the guy, but still, 31 is way too young to die. My prayers go out to his family. That's just horrible.

Guy was super talented. Someone posted a link to his photobucket account on Transtopia, so for the unaquainted -

The late TFMaster's stuff

MP Skywarp, a full-on Alternator Menasor, a built-from-scratch Masterpiece War Within Megatron to scale with Prime, glow in the dark Classics Starscream, and so much other amazing stuff.

Must of been quite the hard hit on his family. I'm lucky enough to never have experienced that kind of loss, and I will hope for the family's well being.
I know I don't have much, but this is MY transformers collection alone.
Sideways.Cybertron
BumbleBee.DeluxeClassics
Astrotrain.DeluxeClassics
HotRod.DeluxeClassics

BTW: I have had transformers all my life but most of them have been lost as I had the most Transformers ages 4-7.
