Yeah, that's how I get all the IDW comics now. The last comic I bought in store was the Regeneration One reprint of Marvel issues 76-80, since I didn't own those. And since this is meant to bridge the gap between Prime and FOC, I'll give it a read once the story's done. Probably more of a 'read in the bookstore' than 'preorder from Amazon' books though.

Grimlock and UM to join the cast of Prime sounds good, and provides a good leadership struggle while Optimus is incapacitated. Does this mean yet another new voyager scale toy for Grimlock? :ic$:

Question: do I need to have played Fall of Cybertron to understand or appreciate this comic series? I've played WFC but FOC's still a bit too expensive for my preferences. Is there anything that would really require having played the game (or read a summary), or is it a decent standalone enriched by game knowledge?

I've never played the game and I've been able to read it just fine. I would just recommend you know the Dinobot backstory from the game. If you don't already know it, just search it up on tfwiki or something (unless seibertron.com has a section like that that I don't know about?)


Anyways, I know this is a bit off topic, but I've been re-watching season 2 (I like it a lot better the second time) and I noticed something. In "Alpha; Omega", Alpha Trion says he is about to send of the last, most important relic, which I assumed to be the Star Saber. However, in "Inside Job", the Autobots say that Alpha Trion didn't have enough time to send out the last Omega Key, so he stuck it in Smokescreen. In "Alpha; Omega", could Alpha Trion have been refering to Smokescreen and not the Star Saber? A little topic, I know, but it's nagging me.

Actually, he said that he was sending out the "last of the relics." Then, when Optimus breaks from the conversation, he says that it's paramount to recover the Omega Keys. This indicates Alpha Trion was referring to all four of the keys.

Finally got a chance to watch this morning's episode side-by-side with the uncut DVD version, allowing me to catch each and every little edit made to it. As such, here are all the edits Vortexx made to episode 6.

1. The bit of Skyquake saying "Megatron ordered me to annihilate you," to Optimus was cut.

2. Starscream's line of "When Skyquake snuff's Prime's spark, I... must bear witness," had it's first bit cut out, leaving in only the "I... must bear witness," part.

3. When Optimus slow-mo punches Skquake in the face right after saying, "Skyquake, Stay down," the exact second of his punch impacting Skyquake's face was cut and a white flash was inserted when the impact sound effect played.

4. Right after Starscream pulls out Megatron's Dark Energon shard and Megatron goes slack after struggling for a second, Starscream kicks Megatron's lifeless body and it falls downward just a bit before we switch to a close up of Screamer. The moment of the kick and beginning of the subsequent downward movement of Megatron's body was cut, all for the removal of Starscream's line of, "And this time... stay dead!"

5. The new commercial break played during the latter half of the Skyquake battle, going out from the point where Skyquake flies upward over the valley in an arc with Bumblebee riding on his jet mode's back, and coming back in right after when we see a shot of Optimus from behind that pans upward from his left arm as he says, "Agent Fowler, we require immediate assistance!"

6. The scene of Optimus saying to Bumblebee, "Had Skyquake chosen to stray from his master's path, we might not be burying him today," was cut.


And now that I can compare the episodes more thoroughly now, I may need to go back a revise my comparisons of the "Darkness Rising" episodes. But since I just watched them so recently (and I really don't like those episodes anyway), not to mention I'm missing a recording of Part 2, I may hold off on those until later on.

Or you could just not worry about redoing them? Nobody's grading you on this. :P

It's useful info and I want it to be correct for any documentation purposes. :-B

Just look at the man's signature. Clearly the "human encyclopedia" does his homework.

That's not true, I'm grading him on it. There's going to be a quiz and everything. And if he doesn't pass we're going to hold him back and have him repeat the season.

That qualifies cruel and unusual punishment in nine states. I like it.
