I have a lot of faith in how Nick Roche picks up dangling plot threads & tying them into stories well. I haven't read #1 yet, but would anyone else think that maybe Metroplex and his "it" that he's protecting will somehow tie into LSOTW? I had this notion that whatever "Aequitas" is could be what Metroplex is supposed to be guarding--just a hunch I had.

Totally forgot about that hanging thread...

I can't remember: was Metroplex on Garrus 9 in his spotlight or was he heading to Garrus 9 at the end of that issue?

Metroplex basically ditched the Throttlebots after stepping on Sixshot. Searchlight had no idea what this "it" was, but that plot point takes place around the time that the Decepticons were hacking the Autobot defenses through Hunter & Sunstreaker's link in AHM. Maybe 'Plex had something to do with Nova Prime's expansion ideas?

Yeah I remember that. This is turning out to be an interesting series. I can't wait for the next issue to come out, because I want to read more!

This series really makes me want to bust out Overlord for a gallery. Hm ... going to pass gallery #2,000 really quick here. Maybe I'll do his gallery soon.

You like me to send over my boxes, specs, and sticker sheets for my Japanese and UK versions???

The first time through I could only take up to three pages at a time fore fear of passing out like Ironfist did in LSOTW #1! LSOTW #2 did not dissapoint. It's been a while since I've had to read with the comic in one hand and my laptop with Wiki in the other trying to figure out who all the characters are. That is a very good thing!

Speaking of passing out, did anyone else catch Ultra Magnus questioning what was really going on when Ironfist had his fanboy fainting spell? Something's not quite right there.

I'm also not totally trusting Snare's motives. I don't think he's loyal to Overlord, but from what I've read of his character, he sounds like the type of guy who just likes to stir scrap up. He's definitely playing Impactor.

The back-story between Megs and Overlord seems a bit hollow now. We're just seeing it from Kup's perspective about it, and a breif meeting with the "Phase Sixers" but I think there will be more to it than that, just don't know what yet.
