“We appear to have an American F-22 Raptor, being shot at by some kind of rally vehicle. And a police patrol car, also American... under attack from a space shuttle?”

I dunno why, but this line is so corny, it's good.

Thanks for the news! Front paged and credited!

Mmmm. Particularly with the panel and next couple of lines. Most TF battles, even taking into account some effort at disguise, would confuse the hell out of most onlookers.

It's just a short break in the whole scramble/chase/fight.

Can't wait to read it based on the quote provided...

Ditto.

Looks good. Have to get my hands on this comic series.

So is #4 out right now? Meaning I can drive to my comic book store and pick it up right now?

Or did some of you lucky few manage to get an advance copy? :-x

Well, it's out today. I've yet to get it. Anyone else have it?

Just finished reading it, check out page 11 for a liitle nod to the site. And before anyone else mentions it, it could be for the Japanese continuity homeworld. Either way, I always like stuff like that in comics, the easter eggs if you will.

I didn't notice that, but check out page 21.

Roller ftw! LOL.

NOt a big fan of Hot Rod's alt mode, I'm sure it will change soon enough, but I did catch the Seibs, and BT references...

Page 21, is that the Roller pic that Counterpunch was referring to, cause that was sweet!

Nope. Page 21 shows the chopshop with a sticker attached to the window. Said sticker has the date of a certain Summer movie on it...

It's orange and not a brick, anyway.

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be Earth modes all round in due course.

i liked this issue, cant wait for next issue esp after seeing a pissed megatron.

Posted: **Mon Mar 05, 2007 7:58 am**

Missed the Seibs reference. Gonna have to have another look through. I am glad HotRod lost that huge chin he had in his spotlight. Looking forward to the next issue.
