Furman Blog Update: Devastation #5

I'm still not certain if I like Sunstreaker being a headmaster...

I have a feeling that Sunny won't stay a headmaster much longer. The technology might exist, but he sure as slag won't be using it. I'm sure Ratchet can de-bond him from all the partners once he gets into a properly-equipped medbay and away from the multitude of baddies currently trying to destroy him, his friends, and/or the planet.

If only I wasn't so sick...that comic would be in my feverish (literally) palms right now...

I hope you're right.

I'm going to have to pick this one up, and soon before it sells out!

I'd bet on just the opposite, really. There's too much drama potential for when Sideswipe shows up. We aren't really sure yet if Streaker's going to survive at all anyway, since I'm pretty sure that Hunter just picked whatever chassis was lying around at the time.

Thanks to the Chineese new year none of my comic book stores (that i know of) are open here in Singapore....poo i'll have to wait till the weekend or longer!!

Most likely you are right, however I still hope for the opposite.

I will be in my local comic store in the morning for this one for sure! Just caught up on the rest of this series, and I am DYING to see what happens!!!

If something permenently bad happens to my pretty little Verity or something happens to her pretty little mini-skirt, heads will roll at IDW.

Heads

will

roll.

Just picked it up and read it last night!

Fellow Starcream fan girls, you won't be disapointed. Fellow Megatron fan girls, he's got the cutest look on his face half the comic.

Did anyone get the Cover B showing Megs and Starscream smiling and side by side in profile? Then the cover for the next issue shows them fighting side by side... but not so much on the smiling.

I was kind of expecting to see the All Hail Megatron ad in this issue, but just the Swear Alligiance was on the back. Maybe in Spotlight Arcee?

Depends on the situation, don't it?

I know what you mean, Verity is hot, and I was devastated when she was offed along with Jimmy (A bold move by Furman indeed).

Counterpunch wrote:You lookin to become a head master ala Sunstreaker bub?

What?

Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if Verity and Jimmy were revealed to simply be in shock, and Ratchet declared them "dead" because he's unfamiliar with human physiology. Yeah, he's a medic, but he's a medic for a race of machines. I'm not sure how much knowledge even the Autobots would attain on organic body functions, especially since they were trying to avoid contact with the natives.

Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if Furman did off them.

What I'd like to know is 1)Is this the issue Soundwave "wakes up" and 2) Is this Scorponok's revelation issue (he was hinted at in #3)?

I was definitely giddy with fan-girl-ness for Megs with this issue.....Always nice to see Megatron show us he has a sense of humor somewhere in that metal facade of his!


And Starscream's reappearance was not disappointing!


Devastation #5=100% WIN!!!

This issue like every other one of this arc has me wanting more! Starscream is awake and bashing heads, MEgatron and the remaining Decepticons have mobilized for war, and the Autobots are packing up and leaving. Man, Devastation #6 is going to be bad ass and I can't wait for the next continuation. Looks like the war is very much alive.

I have GOT to find a comic book store in my new town! I'm dying here! No Blaster and no this!

I just did that myself....my old store was forever away from my current residence...and I NEEDED some stuff, so I had to locate one out this way...Not easy when you live in The Sticks...but I did!

I got it yesterday and what Prime did absolutely shocked me.

There are so many threads going on big and small that I hope it doesnt get too convoluted.

What the hell? I know Prime has other business to attend to but he can't pull EVERYBODY out of Earth. Maybe Hound's unit will take over.

Although this should make Decepticon fans happy. It would be so easy for them to take over Earth at this point.
