Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #28: Dawn of the Autobots—SPOTLIGHT
James Roberts (w) • Alex Milne (a) • Casey W. Coller (c)
CERTAIN DEATH, HERE WE COME! MEGATRON assumes control of the quest to find the Knights of Cybertron—a quest that has never before been so urgent, so personal, and so likely to end in tears. An incredulous Lost Light crew is left asking the same thing you are: how exactly did it come to this?
FC • 32 pages • $3.99
Bullet points:
- MEGATRON LEADS THE AUTOBOTS IN SPACE!?!
- You read that right—MEGATRON joins the AUTOBOTS!
- The perfect jumping-on point for new readers!
- Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the TRANSFORMERS!
- Variant interlocking cover by Livio Ramondelli!

Secondly, they don't have internal organs! They have PARTS. If the PARTS are damaged, they are either repaired, replaced or remade. New fans (after '84) like James Roberts keep coming up with dumb ideas like "oh, Ratchet can't get good hands because he was forged. The hands are irreplaceable." It's stupid! Who forged his body in the first place? Someone had to make his body. Mechanical parts just don't grow out of things (G2 budding doesn't make sense either). If something can be made, then it can be remade, plain and simple. Misguided attempts like this to make ROBOTS seem more like organic lifeforms are one of the many things that make this book Transformers IN NAME ONLY.
Lastly, I can't stand seeing Megatron with that Autobot symbol smeared on his chest. This is Fanfic at it's most fantastic and I can't wait until it is over. At this point I would rather see Megatron laying there with his tank parts replaced with chicken suit kibble rather than that Autobot symbol.

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

Yeah, I agree. For characters who walk around with missile launchers on their shoulders they sure do a lot of talking! So much talk, little action... James Roberts just doesn't get Transformers.Va'al wrote:The horror.

Yes not EASILY replicated, but they can be replicated... just not by Prime Ratchet because he was a Quack. G1 Sunbow Ratchet would have had no problem fixing the damages that Transformers from these other KO continuities have to suffer with.Black Bumblebee wrote:sabrigami wrote:It only took 7 pages to remind me just how much I missed MTMtE.

Here, here! I love the humor in MTMTE. Although I feel bad for Hot Rod that he's about to lose his ship to Megatron...
As to the bloke complaining about Transformers referring to themselves as "people," consider the fluidity of language. "They're my Cybertronians" just doesn't have the same effect as "my people," does it? And as to the bit about organs, I've NEVER viewed the Transformers as robots. They're just... not. They're mechanical lifeforms. There's a difference, there. As Arcee said in Transformers: Prime--can you build a small intestine? No, of course not. They have mechanical organs that are not easily replicated.

And you clearly did not even read my post before commenting! I very carefully and thoughtfully instructed Roberts on the right words to use to make his book seem less like Fanfic and more like the real thing.Va'al wrote:1984forever wrote:Yeah, I agree.

And you clearly don't get sarcasm and frustration, as my post was directed at you, and at your unchanging, predictable (hence boring) reaction. But hey, I've tried reasoning with you previously, and you just won't listen. I'm not saying you have to like the comics, but I am asking, and a lot of other users have too, for constructive posts.
Continue to offer your opinion in this way, I'll go back to ignoring you.
