>>152137244
>>152137247That's it for this one lads. Void Rivals and more Joe on the 28th. Until then support your LCS.
New Arcee is cute, also jesus christ.
>>152137072>>152137080>>152137083So I guess MASK is going to be the fourth ongoing on the EU?
>>152137127>kill off a character mainly so the issue can be advertised as shocking>it's a guy who got a single panel to do something interesting 12 issues ago, who most people probably forgot was in the series at all>died in a way that tries so hard to be sudden and brutal that it circles around to being absurd and morbidly funny>revive characters who died in the previous writer's run, and then immediately invent a new definitely-permanent-this-time way to die just to be sure nobody who comes after him can do the same Kirkman is Kirkmanning. >>152137059I wonder what the deal is with Soundwave and Rumble. Rumble doesn't look happy about the idea of Soundwave coming back. Megatron was throwing him around over nothing back in issue #25, but that expression implies Soundwave is a downgrade even from that. I'm conflicted on Arcee Magnus' design. She doesn't look bad. I've always thought Arcee would look good with antennae, and the backpack being extended to look wing-like is cool, but it feels incomplete, all they did was stick a bit more kibble onto her. Obviously, they were never going to make her as bulky as Ultra Magnus, but they could've tried to make her look at least a little sturdier.
>>152137119>>152137122>>152137127Megatron is gonna be a bloatloard soon
>>152137093This is retarded. Arcee's design is perfect and they just ruined it so she can be another girlboss.
Honestly I don't feel like it'd have hurt the issue too much if they skipped the Mayhem scene to give us another bit building up to what's supposed to be the conclusion to this arc, DWJ used to overlook Elita's side of things to some extent but it was never this bad
thanks for the double feature OP
>>152137618>it's current year chud
>>152137643ywnbaw troon
>>152137046Thanks broYou're doing the lords work
>>152137070>Megatron will crush headseething so hard he can't speak properly
>>152137093>>152137100I don't mind Arcee getting an upgrade but I don't really care for this look at all.>>152137119>>152137122>>152137127Jesus christ man. It's kind of funny though that after all the death in the first run and these early resurrections and recoveries Megatron needs to specify to the reader he can kill bots for real now.
>>152137913Kirkman has a perverted fetish for killing characters completely randomly. It worked in Walking Dead and to a smaller degree Invincible, but it's kind of stupid in a comic that's mandated around toy sales. The fuck is he going to do when Hasbro tells them they are releasing a new Trailbreaker toy in April and he needs to have some dedicated comic time?It also comes off as extremely hypocritical when he starts his run with resurrecting his favourites. Typical petty writer takeover shit.
>>152137954Things have changed from the IDW days. Kirkman is big enough and the Energon line successful enough that Kirkman probably won't have to work under character mandates like that. Comic characters are turned into toys nowadays, not the other way around.
>>152137954>The fuck is he going to do when Hasbro tells them they are releasing a new Trailbreaker toy in April and he needs to have some dedicated comic time?Hasbro doesn't do that anymore. Kirkman presented Hasbro a 50-100 issue plot progression he has planned for the EU when trying to get the license and what they saw there was what gave him the license. If anything the fact that the Yellow Shit is still dead is proof that Hasbro just let's them do whatever the fuck they want.
>>152137699Anon, I think he was being sarcastic. Reign in your autism.
>>152137699Anon I think he's on your side, reign in your autism and the reddit spacing while you're at it.
>>152137954>It also comes off as extremely hypocritical when he starts his run with resurrecting his favourites. Typical petty writer takeover shit.>DWJ kills half of the cast because 'muh 86 movie'>BASED, BEST WRITER EVER, MORE WRESTLING MOVES PLEASE>Kirkman does the same>WTF KIND OF HACK WRITING IS THIS, FUCK YOUI'm so glad DWJ isn't writing this shit anymore, his dicksuckers are honestly more annoying than Roberts' fanbase.
>>152138029>more annoying than Roberts' fanbase.Don't go that far, at least DWJ's style of writing repelled fujoids instead of deliberately attracting them like Roberts did
>>152137127>Megatron is a spark vampire.Jesus
>>152138074More like a cannibal than a vampire
>>152137618The thing is that Arcee unlike Elita and forbid she never comes EU Pyra Magna isnt a girlboss you retarded shitposter, and you can thank Prime for giving her this unique personality [spoilerand killer curves.
>>152137066So the Magnus title does indeed mean Jobber
>>152137100Come to think of it, if shredderhead is the cybertronian Ermac with all of cliff's clan souls poured into it, wouldn't that mean that it may also have powers too?I feel that this is how Grimlock and the Dinobots are going to happen, Wheeljack saving his fallen comrades by giving them new reformated forms
>>152138154That's an interesting theory anon, I guess that would make sense with the swordBut I doubt there's that much thought into it
>>152138029>We still havent seen optimus jump out of jetfire and legdrop megatron on the ballsIts over...
>>152138154Nah, I think Optimus will just use the matrix.
>>152137954Remember that Wheeljack needs sparks to build the Dinobots.IF Trailbreaker is too damaged to survive due to megs literally eating his spark like BW Megatron did in Beast Machines, it means that he is getting reformatted as one of the first Dinobots.A interesting twist would be that he is Grimlock and he is what it is due to the trauma caused to his spark
Elita-One will steal the matrix in the civil war and meet Sparkplug
>>152137164>long neck is long
>>152137180Soundwave is right there with him
>>152138198>Who are you little man ?>I AM HOPTIMUS PRIME
>>152137240>Zartan is literally early 2010's Randy Orton in appearanceBravo Kirkman, you nailed it hard.
>>152138220>Copy that
>>152138256Holy shit he is I wonder why his eyes are green like that
Did they announce Mora's successor?>>152138256Anon, GI Joe is Joshua's book.
>>152138288>I wonder why his eyes are green like thatBecause he's Zartan?
>>152138248That is a Grand Titan Battlemech before CGL had eldonius do that shitty appearance change to evade copyright after 20 years.
>>152137227>Manlet when their BFF cheat on them with a giant robot
>>152137159Buzzer was raped in a dark caves of Texas by Cobra Commanders Big Snake in Shivering Cold Winter of 2026KWAB
>>152137119>>152137122>>152137127KWAB
>>152137164Damn cobra commander is such a sweet talker, he coulda been a used car salesman
>>152138316>Manletus PrimeGotta love battletech,you just gotta
>>152138029We hate dwj here for being a racist. Against white people
>>152138351God I hope that part of his backstory is still intact its insanely kino
>>152138379I personally hate him for being an aewist but that too
>>152137200Since when Cobra had a Cobrarem of Cobragirls?
OK, Now that is outAny ideas now on whic is going to be introduced at the FCBD this year? last year it was the Dreadnok War, Quintesson War that is beginning on Void Rivals and Elita one's future shenanigans.>M.A.S.K. being the obvious candidate>Goliant = Unicron>>152138402He always had
>>152138409I wonder who's gonna be from MASKWheelie?
>>152138425Wheelie is in void rivals,hanging out with pythonaBitches love poetryVoid rivals is gonna have nemesis prime,he will turn into outlaw
>>152138457>Void rivals is gonna have nemesis primeWhot
>>152138457*Mask is gonna have nemesis primeI reckon hes gonna be man made using either wreck of a cybertronian or scan mayhem took of prime
>>152138029>Kirkman does the sameNo no he undid a bunch of stuff, only to now bring back the killing only *edgier*That makes him a hackThat and I'm pretty lukewarm on how he's been following up on the loose plot threads DWJ leftHis Megatron isn't near as charismatic either
>>152138457>>152138472Miles will probably have his hand on creating the Stunticons, or recreating them by reaching Megatron with an offer.
>>152137431>Kirkman is Kirkmanning.yeah I don't understand how this hack is so popular
>>152138504This is a megatron that was tortured to oblivion by cobra commander and his race.He literally went insane as WFC+FOC+season 1 TFP Megatron, high on Dark Energon.
>>152138457Yeah, but I imagine he's going to make an appearance on MASK, replacing T-Bob
>>152138029>NOOO YOU CAN"T KILL CHARACTERS IN A SERIES ABOUT A WARfuck off retard it makes sense that the era around the initial days of the Autobots and Decepticons waking up on Earth would be some of the most chaotic and bloody, no I don't give a shit that your favorite character wasn't getting a gazillion pages of screentime get over yourself you autistic retard.
>>152137051>DezimirWho?
>>152137122>that panel
>>152138555Lol, your reading comprehension is fucking terrible.
Friendly reminder that any Arcee is sex superior now thanks to Prime, Minus IDW1(The tranny brother of Galvatron) and Armada Trilogy, those deserve to be forgotten and banished to oblivion.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGTyZPO_F4g>>152138558The Dragon entity who was torturing him with the help of the Quintessons.The one who bestowed him The Matrix of Corruption full of Dark Energon, there are 2 issues telling this story.
My heart got trailerbroken....
>>152138504he's a billionaire he can do what he wants to you and your loved ones it's the law faggot
>>152137122>>152137127he finally gets to eat
>>152138457>>152138492I can see Miles thinking he's got the Stunticons working for him like AssWatch or whatever they were called in the -tion IDW books 20 years ago
>>152138578>The Dragon entityDeszaurus?
>>152138612No.You have read these books, right?
>>152138622I have, but I've also forgotten a lot of the smaller characters
>>152138558This squid dude from issue 19
>>152138612Dezaurus is from VictoryDezimir is a Quintesson with a dragon pet who tortured megatronhttps://desuarchive.org/co/thread/148251355/#q148251526full storytime btw
>>152138574at least I can read, retard
>>152138662Thanks, name just didn't retain>>152138663>Dezaurus is from VictoryYeah I know, just thought there was allusion thereLike how void rivals Darak is clearly related to Zarak
seeing how he was capable of mindraping starscream into service using dark energon off his matrix, he eating TB's spark isn't far fetched.ever since the first issues came out, all of the cons feared or hated him as the autobots, and now we are getting glimpses of why.
>>152138578boy if I had a nickel for every time in the comics the Quintessons gave someone sparky spark powers by torturing them I'd have 2 of em
>>152138379>we
>>152138678>at l-least I c-can *sniff* read, r-retardApparently not, lol.
Tbh, DWJ didn't kill that much bots too.
>>152137127>>152137122I have a feeling this the start of Megatron's descent into Galvatron
>>152138824>crying alreadysad
>>152137954G1 is the Game of Thrones of kids cartoons in terms of how much of its main cast it killed it off, so at least he's working on a property that plays to his strengths.
>>152137127>permanent deathWe’ll see about that
>>152137122Dude’s not even gonna last 20 issues as a leader if he’s gonna be this degenerate
>>152139042>We’ll see about thatThere are so many transformers to choose from dude, I don't think trailbreaker is coming back in this comic
>>152138029DWJ killing half the cast is still something people complain about as missing Bumblebee makes the autobots cast feel shallow.
>>152139042Oh yeah? Check this out OHNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM
>>152139080There’s still goldbug
>>152139080I haven't seen a single person complain about missing Bumblebee
>>152138029The difference is that DWJ "killed" characters as in they got the normal Transformers death: body mauled, no parts to put them back together, they are put in statis lock indefinitely. Or not. I don't remember.Kirkman flat out says I GAVE YOU A PERMANENT DEATH like some kind of edgy teenager. Now I don't mind edgy teenager crap but I do mind hypocrisy and stupidity. They are ROBOTS, you can't give them permanent death, five issues later they can just say that Trailbreaker had a permanent backup of his mind stored on the Ark in a memory crystal, and they flashed it into a new body (which is how second year bots got introduced in the original Marvel comic and how Ironhide came back to life in IDW, so it's not even unprecedented). Or have a Prime enter the afterspark through the Matrix so he can bring back a dead bot.I think IDW even had one of the bots comment on that they are so insanely stupidly hard to kill that anything short of being atomised is not guaranteed, and sometimes even that's not enough. Back when they did the "golden age Cybertron" worldbuilding, they had suicide clinics specifically for that.So Kirkman writing I KILL YOU TO DEATH is just bad comedy.
>>152139080We can survive one Transformers series not being centered around Bumblebee
>>152139192>They are ROBOTS, you can't give them permanent death, five issues later they can just say that Trailbreaker had a permanent backup of his mind stored on the Ark in a memory crystal, and they flashed it into a new body (which is how second year bots got introduced in the original Marvel comic and how Ironhide came back to life in IDW, so it's not even unprecedented). >The writing is shit! My fanfiction says so.Bruh. Go sniff your crystals somewhere else.
>>152139192Cybertronians have souls retard.Megatron eating TB's spark means that he ate his soul, he literally absorbed his soul for himself.
>>152139219>My fanfiction says so.No, Marvel G1 issue 14, pages 3-4 says so.
>>152139246>MarvelG1That was before the concept of sparks and soul was introduced
>>152139246That literally doesn't matter. EUformers use BW's Sparks, which were created to explain how they die.But sure, use another timeline's canon to shill your crystal fanfic.
>>152139219>backups of his mindIs that even how cybertronians work?Isn’t their spark (soul) one and done if destroyed?
>>152137122>>152137127"Decepticons,I give you a trailburger"-Megatron,2026
>>152139266Before sparks and ghosts in early G1 comics yes.the retard above is still sticking to marvel g1 for no reason at all, next he will cocksuck furman and he homofaggotry
So why weren't they doing this the entire time if this is the only way you can "permanently" kill a TF...?
>>152139042It's Kirkman's book. He probably has final say.
>>152139292>So why weren't they doing this the entire time if this is the only way you can "permanently" kill a TF...?Technically, you just had to shoot them to death until the body cannot sustain the sparks. Ratchet died that way.
>>152139259>>152139262>to shill your crystal fanfic.The crystal is just a data storage medium. I could just as well say that they copied his consciousness into a floppy disk and then to a new body (which is how Optimus got resurrected).And even IDW, which used sparks, had Alpha Trion copy a backup of Ironhide into a new body and that was that.>but muh alpha trion can do thatPrime uses Matrix magic to do that. Same thing.Or the book ends up selling like shit in a year and Hasbro threatens to pull the license if they don't change writers. They do, and new writer comes up with a new way to bring back dead characters.There's no permanent death in comics, retards.
>>152137954>The fuck is he going to do when Hasbro tells them they are releasing a new Trailbreaker toy in April and he needs to have some dedicated comic time?The last time we got anything like that was IDW2, at this point all the major G1 characters from 84-85 have gotten a release already and when they get new stuff it'll be more of a drip feed than a dedicated line, like the new seekers mixed into other lines. Given that we don't really get "new" designs like in the Classics days through Prime wars, there's less a need to advertise "new" toys. Any new G1 based toys would already share designs with most of the comic as is. If anything we're more likely to see toys based off comic designs now.
>>152139326>There's no permanent death in comics, retards.not all comics are capeshit retard
>>152139326>And even IDW, which used sparks, had Alpha Trion copy a backup of Ironhide into a new body and that was that.But that's IDW bruh.>There's no permanent death in comics, retards.Only if you ever consumes big 2 capshit.
>>152139326The big difference is that we have seen TF comic continuities end and effectively make a death permanent through a lack of followup. There's always ways to write around but it's just as possible the license here ends in a few years or if they keep it, they eventually reboot when Kirkman decides this continuity has been done enough.Kirkman's also actually known to end his work so there's that, too.
>>152139351Hell, not all capeshit do that. Ultimate Marvel had permanent deaths, with most of the X-men getting killed.
>>152139266>>152139286This is why I wish the Dark Glass episode of Beast Wars was made to really explore this concept.Remember Dinobot actually did copy his own memories before dying. Rattrap was going to use that to upload the backup into Dinobot II, only to find that without the spark he wasn't the same. That would've helped settle the debate on how necessary the spark is for a robot when they could also copy their memories.
>>152139360>But that's IDW bruh.IDW also used sparks. And the current run just had some dead bots come back when Kirkman took over the book. They introduced a brand new OC from the remains of a bunch of dead bots.There's no permanent death because they can always write around it if the powers that be demand it.>Only if you ever consumes big 2 capshit.Refresh my memory, how many times did Al Simmons die and come back yet? I stopped reading Spawn a while ago but pretty sure it was up to at least 3 when I did. Transformers alone also had characters die and come back in nearly every continuity, including the current one.Granting permanent death to any comic character is a laughable charade at best, and you are either very naive, young, or straight up retarded if you think otherwise.>>152139396And then Ultimate Marvel also bought Peter back, then they destroyed their entire universe but kept Miles and Bombshell, hell Marvel did several cross continuity multiverse crossovers and kept some characters from it in mainline, etc etc.
>>152139458IDW also turned Chromedome from an Headmaster to a Headsmaster. >Refresh my memory, how many times did Al Simmons die and come back yet?So capeshit.
>>152138774>2019 IDWyou were the guy buying those?
>>152139506>So capeshit.You said>"big 2 capshit".Spawn is not big two. You are moving the goalpost now.But hey, you want to see some non-capeshit, non-big-two, argument? Look up how many times they tried preventing the rise of Skynet in Terminator, and then have another Terminator coming in the next movie/tv series/dark horse comic. Ellen Ripley died and was brought back. Every "permanent" change is one bad sale or one editorial decision away from being undone.
>>152139616>Nuh huh, semanticsChrist, you really think that's a gotcha, do you?
>>152139424Speaking of Beast War, its kinda creepy that the Transformers are born Predacon or Maximal.I guess it make sense since they are robots and they established a few difference in their programming, but still creepy imo.
>>152137127>SEE EVERYONE WHO COMPLAINS ABOUT DEATHS?! HES DEAD DEAD! HAHAHAHA!
>>152137227~...can someone just take Duke to anger managment therapy already? Hope he gets better, rather than act like new Circuit Breaker "dur hur all robots bad!".
>>152137122>>152137127Boooo Kirkman. Boo.
>>152137127Oh great, so we continue to randomly kill characters, because oooooooh, STAKES.
>>152137046Thanks OP. I wish people would storytime the other titles more often, I either keep missing them, or no one's doing it.
>>152138951It is pretty sad that you don't know how to read, I'm sorry.
>>152139983next issue is probably gonna be him and Hound actually talking.
>>152138578>Minus IDW1(The tranny brother of Galvatron)Shes a real sexy woman to me.
>>152139873I mean it basically falls into which camp a protoform falls under and programming ultimately has little influence. Blackarachnia chose to side with the a Maximals of her own experiences and Quickstrike was never reprogrammed. Inferno was more influenced by his damage than any reprogramming. really the only reprogrammed protoform where Predacon programming made a discernible difference was Dinobot II, and you can argue him being a sparkless blank protoform was a factor in that.
>>152137093So is this a reference to toy Ultra Magnus? Was EU Ultra Magnus a white Optimus Prime before he became a Magnus?
>>152139983That is because BY NOW he didn't know about the great war, and even cobra told him that Starscream or the Cons were his allies.Now Hound will tell him and possibly we will get the Joes meeting with Prime.Plus Duke meeting with Spike and Carly again.
>>152140570>Was EU Ultra Magnus a white Optimus Prime before he became a Magnus?Not that we know of.
>>152140576Yeah, but at least he could trust Cluch a bit. Instead all of his decissions are made out of anger. He's a terrible leader.
>>152140596Seeing that he is going back to the base and see that hawk is zartan, he may begin trusting the bots.
>>152137127>sudden death for shock value>cannibalism>breaking the fourth wall>he's dead DEAD 3xDEAD FOR REALZ NAO!There's no such thing as permanent death in comics, this is just silly.
>>152137238>posting pic during storytimeBooo
>>152137093>big chonky wings and bootsshe's gonna turn into a boat/space boat, isn't she
>all this seethe because Kirkman killed a nothingburger of a characterGood. I enjoy the butthurt.
>>152139983No one has told duke anything about good giant robots just that he was crazy for seeing evil giant robots and to stop talking about it.
>>152140795it's more about the retarded permanent death line
>>152140795Trailblazer is unfortunately just well enough known but not well enough liked to always suffer some really shitty death for shock value.
>>152140828damn Trailbreaker's now in the position Cliffjumper used to be in for years.
>>152140846No, because everyone liked Cliffjumper always.
>>152140576>That is because BY NOW he didn't know about the great warI'm confused about the chronology of the two books, the US army is already working with the Autobots in the TF book, how much longer must the Joe book keep its characters in the dark?
just realized maybe Ironhide's got a chance now with Trailbreaker gone.
Seeing that Kirkman is a animated fanboyhttps://tfwiki.net/wiki/Arcee_(Animated)Plus the fact her new armor REALLY looks like her recent cyberverse incarnationhttps://tfwiki.net/wiki/Arcee_(Cyberverse)it seems that they planned her to be a fusion of her 2 incarnations
>>152140905Only way I see Kirkman considering that possibility with Bulkhead around is if he ends up giving Ironhide his impenetrable coating from Animated to tell them apart from each other a little bit more.
>>152137093I can't help but think some tried to get Arcee Prime through and got vetoed. Then they went "uh did I say Prime? I meant...Magnus!"
>>152140899We know that GI Joe 20 will be a big crossover issueHow much 18 and 19 do I'm not sure
>>152140968Ironhide could evoke more of his Bayverse self being a pickup truck, dual cannons but still a relatively G1 robot mode.
>>152140968Bulkhead will always be the Wrecker and Demolitions expert of the team.Ironhide being the Leader of the group would be a interesting idea of Cybertron in the past having dedicated specialist teams before the war, Combaticons still being the commandoes who does the dirty jobs and high risk operations, and Wreckers being the Specialist team who does the "things go boom" team.
>>152140996Prime Ironhide then
>>152141050Prime Ironhide is from WFC/FOC, in fact there is a story that the producers of the TV show scrapped him in favor of Bulkhead because he died at the movie and tard wrangling kids and normalfags would be confused seeing him at the show.
>>152141065Prime Ironhide is a toy from from the Prime line that turns into a pickup truck, has dual cannons and has a slightly g1 robot mode
>>152141065>>152141050Did you know we almost had Seaspray?
>>152137080>>152137083>purple/pink and black>helicopter>gunshippossible Airachnid? unless this has been seen before and I just forgot
>>152141229Cosmos too.>>152141247Its MASK. A separate Hasbro franchise.
>>152141247Its from MASK, not Transformers.
>>152141251>>152141255alright fair enough, I havent been keeping up with everything
>>152137072>can't even call it Switchblade in the comic
>>152141287>Switchblade, meanwhile, hews fairly close to its classic design (with some minor flourishes), but has received a new name – "Bladejet". This is likely due to trademark reasons, as the recent M.A.S.K. reproduction line from The Loyal Subjects called the vehicle simply "High Tech Helicopter".
>>152141340Which begs the question, are they even still gonna call Miles' faction V.E.N.O.M.?
>>152141446why wouldn't they?
>>152141247Airachnid joining VENOM isn't a bad idea seeing that she wants the cons for herself if she ever appears alongside blackarachnia
>>152141065That whole era of Transformers was an odd oneBulkhead was eventually going to be replaced by Ironhide in S4 of TFA for movie synergy, but the show unfortunately ended up getting cancelledMeanwhile, Ironhide was originally going to be part of the main cast in TFP for movie synergy, but was instead replaced by Bulkhead
So did they not repair Ironhide and Prowl? I'm pretty sure we saw their parts in the first few issues but they're nowhere in sight.
>>152141580i think its silly to say you can't have both Bulkhead and Ironhide as a fan of both characters.
>>152141727they've been insanely loose with the Ark crew members bodies we've seen in the background. lots of characters who we ended up reviving we didn't even see their bodies prior. the implication is anyone else on board the Ark was ejected out of the ship during the crash landing. Hound was one of them as were Bulkhead and Mirage. If we see Prowl and Ironhide it'll be cause their bodies are somewhere else now.
>>152141463The Loyal Subjects toys removed all the V.E.N.O.M. logos IIRC
>>152140795The fact that Trailbreaker is a nothingburger character is part of what makes this scene weak. He killed Trailbreaker just to kill someone. He decided on Trailbreaker because he's not especially popular or well utilized in other TF media, and Kirkman couldn't come up with a better idea for what to do with him. It's dry and telegraphed, and Kirkman somehow still thinks this worn out formula is a cheat code to making his writing exciting and unpredictable.
>>152139042I mean, Bumblebee's still dead
>>152141962Unless his Spark is in his head, they just gave themselves an "out" to bring him back.
>>152141972We haven't really seen his body in a while, so I doubt Kirkman's in a rush to bring him back
>>152142008We saw him in a huge single page image last issue. It was the first thing you see when you open the book.
>>152142027I must have forgotten that, it's been a while, I guess
>>152137136Well, at least this confirms that the book's staff wants to introduce the Dinobots. Whether they can or are vetoed is a different matter, but at least they want to add them.>>152137100Heh. Nice nod to the "Backpack" Arcee toys.
>>152137122>>152137127Welker on Welker violence.
>>152137122>>152137127>>152142211Skywarp seems to be having the time of his life.
>>152137100She kinda looks Thunderblast
>>152142312Thunderblast toy was a boat, Arcee here is based on her Cyberverse and Animated toys with a bit of her scrapped RiD toy where she changed her color back to G1 and upgraded herself to be more tankier.
>>152142338I dunno man, I can easily see that turning into a boat.
damn this nigga can't catch a break
>>152141972Would it be kino if he get ressurected but by Megatron?
>>152142305Considering Rumble and the Constructicons aren't in on the whole cannibalism thing I'm hoping this means we're gonna get a full team of the most degenerate Deceptacons possible just absolute FREAKS
>>152142497It seems to be a Seeker/DJD thing with their inclinations toward freakery.
>>152142338I just want to see her alt mode because before she was an absolutely sexy super car but I don't think she's one any more
>>152142497The Combaticons are probably into this shit. But I can see the Constructicons and Rumble deserting Megatron. Especially poor Rumble, dude got mistreated each time he tried to help Megatron.Honestly, it all feels like a set up for Galvatron. Especially when Hot Rod and Springer just quit the Ring in Void Rival.
>>152142526Shockwave is still alive so maybe he'll recruit that one freak from IDW that was trying to make a Cybertronian/human hybrid and some of the other weird fuckers
>>152142574Shockwave will be back just in time to get the everliving crap beaten out by the recently built Dinobots.
>>152142543Soundwave and his squad are like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to defecting but I wouldn't be surprised if they take some kind of third path. Constructions defecting would kind of be based because two Combiner squads is insanely overpowered and that shit needs to get equaled out
>>152142338>scrapped RiD toyHuh? I've never heard of this one before.
>>152142604>Soundwave and his squad are like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to defectingHe actually considered Optimus's words the first time he was offered a truce during the early issues, remember?The way this is going I can see Rumble being destroyed and then Soundwave begging the Autobots to rebuild him in exchange for his loyality.
>>152142574That means Pretender technology and Maximal and Predacon bodies, smaller, powerful and can eat to survive and self create energon if needed.That also means shockwave may begin experimenting with human women to create protoforms with sparks out of organic wombs and have them grow in vats, which is something he would do and kirkman would write it too>>152142608see her prime page at tfwiki, seems like her toy for Robots in Disguice was scrapped and Strongarm came to be, which ended up as a good exchange seeing that strongarm is now popular and they can introduce her and prowl.>>152142621There is also the fact that starscream is still active and all cons left the base, leaving him to repair all the cons there and claim that megatron abandoned them and tortured them and left them to die.
>>152142642>There is also the fact that starscream is still active and all cons left the baseThere's also the question if a repaired Starscream will be the same sadistic asshole or he will be back to be Ulchtar. Or a mix of both, since by now it's obvious that redemption is going to be the main focus of this book.
>>152142621Probably the trade off for Elita defecting. She's borderline Decepticon already and with the way things are going on Cybertron and Clifjumper being a bitch I can see her going "If you can't beat em, join em". I hope all these kinda weird face/heel turns means things like Baroness staying a Joe are mantained
>>152142574Has Scorponok even made an appearance yet?
>>152142679I have a feeling they're starting to lay the groundwork for a "third way" faction, we've already had a taste with the Decepticon civil war before Megatron came back. As much as I want to see Face Soundwave it would honestly make more sense for him to go off on his own and take the Constructicons since they already know he can run a show without fucking eating people. I can see them turning into mercs or maybe even joining up with Cobra since the tenative TF/Joe split has finally been joined
>>152142742Nope, it's been like 99% G1 with Bulkhead and Shreadhead as the newer gen bot and OC respectively
>>152142776Scorponok is G1 just 4th year product.
could someone aislop this cover to look like megaempress?
>>152142642Imagine if they actually introduce pretenders or other toys gimmick that didn't make it into the sunbows cartoons.Or even better, the minicons.
>>152142540What ethnicity is Carly supposed to be in this series?
>>152142608>>152142642>>152142338anon are you hallucinating a design that never existed?
>>152142834Tomboy
>>152142834The sex race.
>>152142642>see her prime page at tfwiki, seems like her toy for Robots in Disguice was scrapped and Strongarm came to be,There's nothing on that page about that.
>>152142834latina
What are Arcee's old shoulder things called anyway? There must be a more specific term for that than "backpack" since that is also part of her vehicle mode usually.
>>152142841Seeing that the only RiD appearance of hers is >pic, i wouldn't be surprised if that would be her new form since she ditched the bike mode and the producers forgot that back in WFC/FOC she had her OG cybertronian car form.Plus the fact that RiD producers didn't gave zero fucks about prime or continuity and wanted to pull more OC donut steel as possible til hasbro slapped their hands and told them to connect with the previous show, even the fact that RiD Grimlock is not the same previous Grimlock from the games.>>152142906it is mostly a rumor anon seeing how RiD Production was, but still, it raises suspicion of why she didn't got a toy but Strongarm got, since RiD strongarm was a new character instead of Armada Trilogy Strongarm Whom's toy is the biggest clusterfuck ever made as his model in that fucking show, and yet, it worked since Everyone now relates the name strongarm to RiD and later IDW1/IDW2 Girlcop who became a war veteran, it was a bet that worked.
