Gentleman Spoilers ahead for tomorrow's issue fresh from a certain placeARISE ARCEE MAGNUS
And Dan Mora made sure that she is SEX before he left
By the way, you may not like what happens after this page, but all will be out tomorrow because kirkman raised the bets.
So what is her altmode like?
>>152129768So is she like a transgender or just a leaderbot now? Am I supposed to be outraged or horny?
>>152129891She's just a leaderbot now, so I THINK you can be horny?
>>152129768I rather see magnus prime desuWhats her altmode now ?
>>152129891Just leaderbot. Magnus and I think Prime are military ranks that a bot can be promoted to like in Animated
>>152129969The Thirteen have been established to be a thing in Skybound, so I imagine the Prime rank is a little more than just military
>>152129891She got a Armor Upgrade to make people see that she is Leaderbot now, It seems that Magnus as a rank here also offers a upgrade just as Being a Prime also does so like G1 with Rodimus.And Ultra Magnus is Just Ultra now Unless Kirkman goes on Ultra = Dion>>152129966Maybe a redeco of TFO Elita per what one guy said at TFW20005>>152129969Yeah, Energon is taking clues from Animated since Kirkman is a animatedfag, and Magnus was originally a Rank above Prime in animated, but here is Back to Prime = Main Leader and Magnus = General and Second in Command, also the Thirteen are Canon.
>>152130012I figured it outShes a lamborghini revusonething (remember when they were named after bulls ?) so this is gonna be a classic cybertronian car she normally is or a chopper like dwj wanted originallyCar is more likely,she has lights on her bellyElita is using her tf one bike designAlso based on synopsis for gi joe 17 Its gonna be interresting after issue with roadblock
Seriously, everyone will be losing their shit tomorrow.
>>152130003>>152130012So if the rank thing and the Thirteen are both a thing then Prime could be like a Thor’s hammer deal. The next worthy bot is chosen by the Thirteen to become the newest Prime
Any Redemption Arc for Skywarp as of now is gone
>>152130306My goat is so happy look at himAlso swindle a bitch and frenzy is unimpressed
>>152130003>The Thirteen have been established to be a thing in SkyboundHave they? We know Trion is a title from olden times at least but I can't recall mention of any 13 outside of Alpha Trion
>>152130151>TommorowDid it got pushed to thursday ?
>>152129768Shouldn’t it be Arcana Magnus?
>>152130485They were in the matrixIts 13+1 nowSparkug is honorary prime nowAlcoholus Prime
>>152130502Right right hall of statues I'll have to reread to check if they were noticeably the 13 or just past Primes
so storytime proper when?
>>152130461Rumble is disgusted, even the other cons at the full scene outside skywarp are, is lets say, prime TWD and Invincible level of fuckery>>152130486Physical is out TODAY, Digital for both TF and Joes is out tomorrow>>152130537If anyone wants to do a guetto storytime at the US for both comics, do it.Mainly because the question for the FCBD comic was answered today>>152130502Sparkplug joining the matrix for a while may be something that will guide him and spike in the future as G1 did, seeing that he was the one who could repair and work with cybertronian tech, and Mankind post Timeskip was working with Cybertronian technology to build even spaceships or colonize other planets.
>>152130306i'll re-enact this panel once the new Swindle and Skywarp are released.
>>152130012Ultra Magnus is just called ultra magnusLike sherrif in squidbillies
>>152130306At least he’s happy again
I still think Dreamwave had the most interesting Ultra Magnus, he was the twin brother of Optimus, when he got beaten he just crawled out of the Magnus armor as a white Optimus, just like his toy. Then he got 1-hit-ko'd by Shockwave.
>>152130723IDW1 was the same when megatron was pulling what he will do
remind me please, where is this Arcee ranked strength wise? The regular soldier who is nothing special other than being a fembot, or the super warrior who could retake Cybertron with five Dinobots?
>>152130767Regular soldier but trained under ultra magnus so bit above the rest in terms of skillMost competent female cybertronian we see(All elita had to do was suck primes cock and convince him to help her out for a week)
>>152129768She is a BIG GIRL
>>152130850Elita here is one step closer of becoming a Decepticon if we go by the preview>>152130916Ofc she is sexo
>>152130850ok, so the super awesome warrior then.>bit above the rest in terms of skillwhich is so fucking stupid since half the autobots are supposed to be "above the rest in terms of skill", like Cliffjumper or Jazz, Huffer is supposed to be insane strong, Jetfire is meant to be this dreadful aerial virtuoso, Bluestreak is armed to the teeth, Blaster single handedly fought the resistance in Cybertron and can hold himself mano a mano against Grimlock, but none of them ever show any of those skills except in their IDW Spotlights which were 20 years ago.but yeah let's make the girlbot be above the rest, just because.
>>152129874Probably a sport car converted into a truck, like Rodimus.In other words : a pink winnebago of death.
>>152130939Does she get a trailer too, or is she still just a sports car?
>Prime = Those who protect the matrix>Trion = Those who are the wisest.So what are Magnuses? The greatest warriors?
>>152130979>Probably a sport car converted into a truck, like Rodimus.>In other words : a pink winnebago of death.oh, if she turns into a pink futuristic winnebago similar to Rodimus, that could be interesting. But I don't think she has the frame for it. She doesn't have the "bulk" to form a proper truck.Also what's that long black barrel on her back between the two kibbles?
>magnus cucked yet againjesus
>>152131027>oh, if she turns into a pink futuristic winnebago similar to Rodimus, that could be interestingNo? The winnebago is deeply uncool.Its not even the vehicle that was wrong, its the proportions imo. If the trailer part was longer, had a functional door and the cab was higher, like an actual 26' straight truck, then people wouldn't call it a winnebago.
>>152130979
>>152131163He has PTSD, please understand.Shockwave raped him worse than Marvel's Galvatron backstage, he cant even poop straight anymore, he has to use diapers and his anus is so torn that he is pooping literal Oak Logs.He is to the Autobot cause what Kevin Nash was after 1992
>>152131184Ive been shilling hot rod as dakar race truck for a year now and hasbro still hasnt stolen my ideaAre they stupid ?As for hot rod,that gm bison was a bad inspiration,it looks sillyShouldve made him into a monster truck or a jet boosted semi or somethingAnd he needed a cooler head,add a visor and some cool headcrest
>>152131222Lies and slanderKevin was always a bitch,magnus is merely in his kwab periodIt will pass
>>152130939Ill be honest, the shoulder-rockets just feel off on that design
>>152131248I feel like the Dakar rally truck would fit someone else.I truly think they didn't use the GM bison as ref and Rodimus was really just meant to be a futuristic commercial/logistic truck. I see them all of the time on the roads, so I wouldn't be surprised of those were their inspirations.Honestly, the head would have been fone if he stayed young. Long helmet could look good too, japanese mechas and samurais rocked them.
>>152131365Anon ultra magnus has 4 distinct featuresBuilt in shades,antenas,rockets and big fucking squares on his shouldersI expect that arcee will get a visor as she matures into a magnus and antenas are there already
>>152131376Theres one problem with commercial truck being his altmodeHis trailer detaches and forms a baseTruck itself has only two wheels
>>152131407Arcee has a visor, and she always had since Day 1
>>152131027>She doesn't have the "bulk" to form a proper truck.She looks like she has near the same mass as Optimus now >>152129846
>>152131479I never understood why people want to fuck fembots Arcee with visor clears it upFuck you for showing me that
>>15213151080's Oakley is literally the The Transformers visor brand
>>152131507Optimus has aids from megatrons armLost all his massHe turns into a minivan nowBut you gave me an ideaWhat if arcee turns into a speedboat or a hovercar ?
>>152129768She looks cute and everything but I really hope whoever it was over at Image that had the wise idea to move digital comic releases back by varying amounts of time the way they have for the past few months gets his shitter wrecked for stopping me from seeing this in a proper storytime today
>>152131584Everything is coming out Tomorrow, is stupid to leave Digital and Physical separated by a day, but at least is better than the shitshow Marvel did to Werewolf by Night Red Band
>>152129768I'm caught up already so when do the new issues usually come out because it's Wednesday and I haven't seen rips yet
>>152131711Physical came out today, Digital is coming tomorrow, unless a Anon decides to pick it up the physical and do a Ghetto storyline for both comics
Ive found another,more traditional altmode for rodimusAll hasbro needs to do is buy cyber formula gtx from sunrise and use rodimus well
>>152131584You don't have an LCS?
>>152131749I wish Hasbro could buy CGL to whip it up stuff for battletech
>Look up leaks>Somehow the Chinese already either scanned it or got it digitally
>>152131461Tbh, that doesn't really means anything. Motormaster was a semi that couldn't detach from the trailer, and Animated Optimus was a firetruck that somehow become a semi.
>>152130306Didn't IDW Skywarp personally genocide like half of the entire population of Beijing and still get a redemption arc where he joined GI Joe years later?
>>152131899IDW Skywarp was captured, enslaved and tortured and conscripted into service by the Joe's
>>152131899Didn't most people brush it off as Skywarp being really bad at math?
>>152129768So how long before we get an Arcee Magnus toy?
>>152131883My friend,I offer you this advice in sincerityDelete your post
>>152131883The original motormaster toy was a joke as menasor
Remember, God is a golden winnebago.
>>152131933Seeing the Optimus Prime was a minor reworking of the SS one, possibly never. Would need a lot more parts even if you are going for robot mode only.
Anyone going to post the issue?
>>152132076Wasnt primus like grey with red and blue parts ?Also hes the only transformer that would work as winnebago,your tiny toy bots can be transported in a rv
>>152131933Maybe a flame toy one for crusty adults with too much money.They made some of the More Than Meet the Eye comics.
>>152132109Not in JPG1. See Precusor World.
>>152131933I'm sure it'll happen eventually, keep in mind that Hasbro had to have approved making Arcee a Magnus.>>152132089Never say never, tons of obscure characters from Marvel, Marvel UK, and IDW have gotten toys.
>>152132104Digital release won't come until tomorrow and chinks are kikes that only post bits and pieces of their scans so you'll have to wait a lil longer for now
>>152129768would it kill these comic writers to look at diaclone and take influence from there instead of this rehash
>>152131719Don't really care about that so I'll wait until morning
>>152132089Skybound Optimus is literally based on Magic Square optimusSS86 Optimus is literally a Remake by Hasbro of that one.>>152132122Cant wait to see Energon Silverbolt falling for a Former Autobot turned Decepticon Spiderbot and her sister being a Evil bitch since day 1
>>152131933It took about two years for a rerelease of Jetfire and a remold of Optimus to happen 2030, at the *earliest*And that's assuming this comic hasn't taken a hard nosedive by then
>>152132166What exactly was the lore behind Diaclone? And was there any media going into said lore or was it just stuff said on the back of boxes?
>>152132166Yeah they should rehash a different thing
Btw gi joe 17 has a big twistBut idk how to spoiler words so yeah
>>152132204I reckon that Diaclone doesn't have any sort of story and its only value is to enable the robot action.
>>152130461>frenzy is unimpressedRumble. Frenzy is dead. Or at least as dead as characters can be in Skybound. The past couple issues since Kirkman took over as writer seem to especially suggest that almost anyone can come back if you have access to enough energon.
>>152132224Press the control and s keys. Like This.
>>152132224I checked out hisstank to see if anything was out and nothing yet
>>152132224
>>152132204From the far reaches of space and time the bug men came to kill humanity and klaus schwabb for eating their grandparentsHeroic coalition of glowies use tax payer funds to modify brand new lamborghini countach into mecha and hideso that the regular joe can still pay taxes to fund next countach bot when this one burns due to italian qualityAnd thats how prime,sunstreaker,sideswipe,jazz,datsuns and insecticons came to be
>>152130461>>152132238FIRRIB and RIRFIB continue to confuse readers to this day.
>>152132250>>152132260Thanks fellas.
>>152132224Do they reveal that Zartan has been impersonating someone this whole time?
>>152132204Heroic dianauts pilot their transforming vehicles to fight the evil invading waruders
>>152132302Rumble should one that rumbles(blue) and frenzy should have drill arms and be red
>>152132209or come up with fun designs that would make neat toys first
>>152132302Well they look the same out of color. Rumble and Red are alliteration so I like it better that way. But honestly Bayverse Frenzy is the first one I think of with those names and he is grey.
How much of the rest of the universe do I have to read to enjoy these? Are the collected editions good? I don't mind reading one trade and moving to the next, but I want to know if the connection is loose enough that you don't need to follow too closely, or if they expect you to follow a reading order/alternate issue by issue
>>152132322YesHes been stalkers beret all alongDreadnoks stumbled into micromaster tech somehowWe see tiny zanzibar at the end,hes sailing a rubber ducky in the sink
>>152132224Post it anon>>152132392Once the Issue is out tomorrow for TF, every hint of what is coming for FCBD will be answered
>>152132384You can read any of the books and enjoy it but it all comes together very nicelyIf you dont read gi joe go for cobra commander mini and stick to transformers and maybe void rivalsGi joe is good tho,1st arc was bit slow but its been gaining speed since 2nd oneYou can skip scarlett mini
>>152132420>You can skip scarlett miniIt is pretty strange how absolutely nothing from that mini has been acknowledged in the main GI Joe book. And how the fuck has a GI Joe book gone on for almost 20 issues and there's still no sign of Snake-Eyes? You'd think the ninja stuff would take priority over the Dreadnoks, they're just fucking bikers.
>>152132372>guy who uses his earthquake rumblers all the time>also the first to get into fights ALL the time, aka "rumbles">blue>NOT named RumbleSorry, it's just too retarded to ever call Red Guy "Rumble". Red Guy is Frenzy, Rumble is definitely Blue Guy by both action AND personality.
>>152132455Rumble is a Twerp
>>152132455The earthquake powers are tied to the name Rumble. If he is red or blue doesn't change that.
>>152132420Can I stick to buying the Deluxe Editions and do something like-Void Rivals Deluxe 1(1-12)-Transformers Deluxe 1(1-12)-GI Joe Deluxe 1 (Duke #1-5, Cobra Commander #1-5)-Gi Joe Deluxe 2 (Scarlett #1-5, Destro #1-5)-Transformers Deluxe 2 (Transformers #13-24)Like that?
>>152132453Snake eyes is there,hes just that damn good at hiding>>152132407Aight heres the spoiler for gi joe #17 :DEEZ NUTZ
>>152132520Sure but I would get gi joe if you can find it cheapI like it more than void rivals,more happening less talkening in thereTheres also worst bot ever ballpoint but its non cannon and a kids bookTho its written well enough to get a chuckle out of me,laserbeak as a parrot is great
>>152132535>Spoiler
>>152132514>Hes both colorsWHAT THE FUCK
>>152132619He's "blue" the way Venom is. Or many people's hair.
>>152132617Live skywarp reaction would be betterHe developed flexible metal just to look like more of a sex pervertFrom what Ive read megatron is on the schizo lifter grindset now and I approveOur glorious leader found the secret to cybertronian nutrition
>>152130939Frankly, if you look at the cleaned up page, Optimus face is of pride and joy that Arcee is now a Magnus, he sees the Autobots as his family, Arcee is that daughter who finally graduated from college and came back home with a good job.it is the small details mora put up here that makes the entire sequence good.Also i noticed now that her body proportions are now close to RiD Arcee from the cartoon, who never got a toy but her bio stated that she upgraded her body and embraced a pink and blue scheme>>152132647Someone needs to dig the archive storytime threads, many memes where made there and some taken from tfw2005 forum issue discussions
Full spoilers are out for both Transformers and GI Joe on the wiki>https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_(2023)_issue_28>https://tfwiki.net/wiki/G.I._Joe_(2024)_issue_17Aside from what was already apoiled about Arcee Magnus, Trailbreaker fucking dies, and Megatron makes sure he's extra dead by ripping out and consuming his Spark. Dreadnoks predictably join up with Cobra. Zartan is Colonel Hawk
>>152129768>>152129827>>152129846>>152129866I don't hate the chunky look for her. Most female robots aren't allowed any heft so it's kinda refreshing
>>152133054>first spoilerWell that fucking stinks, guess a forcefield guy was too OP to keep around with the autobots no longer having the numerical disadvantage
>>152133054I fucking called that Zartan twist.
>>152133054So, how long til Scarlett's arrival, Chameleon changing sides Since Poweglide is at the Ark, and Baroness sad but inevitable betrayal?
>>152133054When is the storytime?
>>152133230No one wants to ghetto so, better wait til tomorrow.
>>152133195Baroness might actually stay a face in this one, the Joes have legit helped her a lot especially all the shit with her parents that she might just stay loyal
>>152133536the betrayal is inevitable, and might happen because of her family and she forced to do it for their safety seeing that zartan now knows everything
>>152133536I hope so. I'm enjoying Baroness as their Wolverine
>>152133536I'm really enjoying Baroness as loyal to the Joes, and I like how they're using Chameleon as her Cobra stand-in. Especially with how Chameleon's original toy was just a copy of Baroness, but as a double agent for the joes, so the switch around is really interesting for me.
>>152133536Status quo demands she join Cobra and start fucking Destro. Maybe they can use Doctor Venom's Brainwave Scanner for that, after all, the original GI Joe comics had Baroness and Destro actually reform, only for Cobra to use the Scanner to brainwash them back into villainy.
She looks exactly like Thunderblast.
>>152133617Exactly, means we're getting a new mold
>>152133611Yeah, Larry Hama had Destro, Baroness, Zartan and Storm Shadow all reform after like 100 issues, but he either ran out of ideas or somebody at Hasbro told him to undo that shit, so Brainwave Scanner plot device it was. I think only Storm Shadow became a good guy again in both the Devil's Due and IDW continuations.
>>152133644Hasbro at that time wasn't going well on the Joe's lineup profit, reminder that XTREME happened soon after as the cartoon.
>>152133118Trailbreaker is barely a B-list G1 Autobot, most people forget he's even a thing. Maybe not as much as Windcharger Huffer or Gears but still.
>>152133617That was my first thought, then looked back at her and realized the backpack isn't nearly enough since it only has two "wings".
>>152134226Yeah but I still like his gimmick regardless
>>152134226People remembers seaspray, hoist and powerglide more than him.
Given the questions about Megatron's benefactor and the Quintessons being desperate to reclaim Goliant, it would be no surprise if Unicron was being built up to as the final villain of the EU.Still, in that case, I wouldn't mind seeing a G1 version of Sideways sowing seeds of discord on behalf of his master.
>>152131020>So what are Magnuses? The greatest warriors?Yes, they have the biggestest.
>>152132372>Rumble and Red are alliteration so I like it better that way.Then I guess Optimus Prime should be Orange and Pink, Megatron should be Magenta, and Bumblebee should be Brown.
>>152134721Optimus Prime isn't defined by color inconsistencies.
>>152134226Hey, he's one of my favorites. He's just like me.I mean, this didn't hurt as much as it did in IDW1 because he barely did anything before dying this time, but still. Boo Kirkman. Boo.
>>152130850>Regular soldier but trained under ultra magnus so bit above the rest in terms of skill>Most competent female cybertronian we see...I have Arcee/Elita fatigue
>>152135236Indeed.We need more Road Rage and Override.
>>152135236You'd rather we have Strongarm?
>Arcee gets a powered up form>it comes with an even bigger backpackLmao
>>152132076Somehow it makes sense
>>152131899It was just a prank bro
>>152135284Strongarm's a start, but I don't think anyone's gunning for Moonracer or Shadow Striker.They probably should though.
>>152129768>>152129827>>152129846>>152129866I think the entire Western comics scene would benefit from Dan Mora's hands being broken
>>152135727He's just a competent enough artist. We have to do something about Kirkman though before he solves in cucking drama in Transformers.
Is this Megatron's thing now?
>>152135764Oh hey, I was wondering when Kirkman would finally start pulling up the Invincible moves in either this or Void Rivalsman, looking at this stuff is starting to make me get why some people felt like we were in a bit of a period of drought throughout the past few issues, Mora does robot gore really well but we already only have 2 issues left with him after this one, that stinks
>>152131510https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1O9OEf6PaY
Read the whole thing, not gonna storytime it now ofc, someone will probably already have done it by the time I wake up.Y'know if these arcs work in any way like DWJ's did then I gotta say Kirkman's doing a piss poor job building up to the autobot civil war against Elita
