The DeLorean could be IDWs Vector Prime. Traveling through time and space with all the sleek dazzeling viner of the 80s.

interesting concept, but wasnt vectoer prime a bit of a wuss!?

I guess you could think of him as a wuss. He was old, he used a sword as a walking stick, he had a seeing eye Mini-con and his Force Chip power was a big sheild or turning back time. Talk about over protective of himself.

I'm notoriously "Trukk not Munkee" and seeing Magmatron and Lio Convoy with Cybertron modes was the most exciting part of the series, for me anyways. Not to say that the story wasn't good, but showing vehicle alt modes and their robot modes before the were made "Beasties" was a stroke of genious. (A little Canadian humor there for ya:wink:)

Yeah. Personally, there's one question I'm wondering about. I remember back when this series was meant to be coming out at the end of last year that, because of time restrictions, there wasn't enough time to write into the book mention of the show cast's pre-Beast Wars vehicle forms as shown in the "Dawn of Future's Past" comic.

Now, there's obviously been a bit of a change in that area, so I've got to wonder if there's been a reversal on that decision...

I could see them doing dual pages (like the gave the pretenders in the MTMTE books) one for the beast mode/bot look and one for Cybertron Alt/bot look with all the profile, Strengths and Weaknesses all crammed in between. Crammed it s a bad choice of word. Laid out nicely, but spread out between the two.

I too was a sucker for the non-beast modes of the beast figures, and their cybertronian designs. Hoping for more of the same too... but for some reason I feel it is not likely.

Prebeast modes not so big a deal for me. Looking forward more to seeing noncartoon characters getting some time in the spotlight. Wonder if there will be a power struggle between Razorbeast, Grimlock, and Prowl? Wonder what Ravage's plan will be? What does "The Ascending" refer to?


The Gathering bothered me a lot with the whole out-of-phase-time thing though. It would be nice if they got away from that, maybe by having The Ascending set after the last episode?

What was LioConvoy's Cybertronian alt.mode in The Gathering? I remember him having lion kibble, but don't have the issues here to check.

They never actually showed it AFAIK. It could be he was just a robotic lion, like the Decepticon Razorclaw, but I want to think he also had tank treads.

If I recall it was a half track tank with a robotic lions head. Somewhat like a Ziod.
