Cosmos is amazing. Those few lines of dialogue are hilarious.

Brawl looks a lot like his CW figure. Nice.

I like how they gave Soundwave a hint of chicken legs. Like an At-ST. Maybe he's not getting enough vitamin D.

Buzzsaw is so snarky.

I'm loving how Brawl is no-selling all the snark coming his way because he's too dumb to actually understand that he's being slighted.

It took EVERY OUNCE of the colorist's restraint NOT to give Blackrock a red and gold spacesuit.

HA! Decepticons are snarky and sarcastic too :lol:

And Brawl has had that body for his entire involvement on Earth, so it's nothing new

Say what you want about Brawl, he is no slave to fashion trends.

He's a green tank on Cybertron, he's a green tank on Earth. If he's feeling fancy, he'll throw on some purple stripes.

Did Astrotrain make a Star Wars joke?

Nope, just a reference to a previous, less than enjoyable experience he had. The issue number escapes me and I don't have my comics anywhere close at hand to help me out so I'll leave it to someone with easier access to pick up the slack.

But I like how your mind works, being able to pick up on that off just those few words. Star Wars is the one thing I have knowledge of that trumps my Transformer knowledge so i can certainly appreciate the conclusion you came to.

Yes indeed!
He's A Big part of the "UTILITARIAN" gestalt
[Bruticus aka: Utilitarian].
Because The definition of "Utilitarian" defines "Bruticus" more
than Bruticus. It's A perfect nickname & I also agree with whoever
figured that out cause "Utilitarian" sounds cooler.
I personally was pist with the whole "Warbotron" naming or in name anyway,,
not that the toy itself wasn't good.

Anywho, Can't wait for this ish, looks like A really Fun story.
But I say less humans the better. & I always will vote for-- A Soundwave solo title. Seems like A No-brainer too me. Everybody would jump on that; I'd bet #1 would sell-out & need A second print. IDW needs more specified an maybe biographical story- telling. Too many Deception's don't see enough page.

An Not that im against this current comic book feminine movement.
But I don't think any of us want Arcee, WindBlade & what's her face appearing continuously in every single storyline.

on the other side, Many enjoy Nautica's continued involvement with MTMTE. She makes a great addition.

Ugh it's warm right now, my brain is trying to formulate sensible posts, but they get stuck in my fingers.

We'll know by this evening if this issue is out next week or the one after that.
