Man, I'm Becoming so spoiled now after LSoTW and Mr. Roche's other works. If only they would let him and James take the wheel.

Yeah, because being logical and practical is evil, and you just can't be a good guy unless you do stupid impulsive things that are bleeding heart in the short-term but will damage the greater good in the long run.
Seriously, see my previous posts in this thread about what's wrong with your thoughts here.
Or better yet, read the last bits of my review about the sort of actual good character growth I wanted to see that would have let him stay as a completely intelligent, logical, and practical type while still being an Autobot. Instead of doing what this spotlight did and turning him into yet another generic cookie-cutter good guy.
I will say that this spotlight has definitely made me realize the ongoing isn't going to be anything but the same old cliched and unoriginal stories as long as Costa's on board. Wake me when Roche and Roberts get another mini, or they find someone to take over the ongoing who has some fresh and more interesting ideas.

Cold logic is flawed. Prowl is a big reason why these Autobots lost their way and acting like Shockwave is a big reason why.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Cyberstrike wrote:Yes, you can be logical and pratical and still be a good guy, just like you can be emotional and immpulisive, the real trick is finding and maintaining balane, which is what Prowl is trying to do.
