FRIENDSHIP ISN'T MAGIC! TAILGATE has a choice to make—and if he had any idea what was at stake, he'd think twice before making it. The crew is ripped apart as MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE begins the sprint towards its shocking 50th issue!

At the same time, some characters have really taken the backburner for season 2. Swerve, Tailgate and Whirl really haven't felt like they have done much, so I am ok with them being brought back in. I like em!

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
But Chromedome has been looking like a pedophiliac for a long time now. Eject's head is large but his body is small like that of a young boy.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:1984forever wrote:Whenever I get the urge to download MTMTE I just play Devastation instead.

Well that's the point right now for whatever reason they are trying to make Getaway look like a creep right now.
Wait I thought you had nothing to do with anything beyond 1985.

This book would be so much better if it were written by one of the season 1 guys or Ron Friedman. We definitely wouldn't be having this conversation now.

Now I've competently switched back, mainly because the main comic is actually about Transformers doing Transformery things and doesn't have a drop of teenage romance drama.
I'll still buy MTMTE for the non drama bits, but it's getting a bit annoying.

Yeah, I meant Rewind. I have trouble telling him apart from Eject. Now Rumble and Frenzy I can tell from one another because Frenzy is Red and Rumble is blue.mirageandjazz1197 wrote:1984forever wrote:

You mean Rewind right?
Rewind is actually older then Chromedome and what do you expect from someone who turned into a cassette some people are just short it's not pedophilia.
I can also guarantee you the season 1 guys would not make the comics better Season 1 of the Transformers was pretty bland and boring most of the good things from the cartoon came from season 2.
Ron Friedman is not that great either.

I honestly don't know what's going on with this rag. First it's that Constructicon Scavenger's entire fan club deciding to ride My Little Ponies into battle instead of using their alt modes.... and then next we get a peek inside mini Fort Max's shuttle and discover that he is an avid plush toy collector. Now with this ish we get an Archie comic with a Transformers logo on it. Hasbro needs to pull this license quick!

Wat?
The only one of those I have ever heard of was the Archie cover which is only an alternate cover celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Archie comics its not canon get over it comics do it all the time.
Why would any of that merit Hasbro pulling their licence when they encourage that behavior?
Look I don't think Transformers is your thing anymore the original cartoon ended a long time ago and Hasbro is moving on like everyone else.

Yet Swerve got an entire issue revolving around him, did a bunch of openings, tailgate was everywhere in elegant Chaos as well as having a lot of time centered around him with this "love triangle" through out the past year and half and Whirl too was all over in elegant chaos as well as being one of the most important characters in the series with saving megatrons life. How can you say those three haven't had much time?

It's not just you.
It's especially grating if you don't buy into the romance angle that season 2 seems to be actively courting.
Then again, I REALLY don't like Tailgate's capering for attention post-Dark Cybertron, so most of the storylines involving him feel forced, if only to appeal to the "OMG so cute" fans.

I certainly think it's hard when all that's in the preview is this and no hints towards other goodness. I'm a bit over the relationship thing, prefer to see more familial relationships explored like spark brothers, split sparks, shared sparks, etc. it does at times feel a little over the top and In our face. I too have been enjoying the main Transformers series more lately... The art has been better, the themes have been far reaching, and the character development is less focused on finding your conjux.
Still reading, and enjoying parts of it, but grimacing and feeling somewhat uncomfortable when scenes like this pop up.
How does Getaway drink? I know his faceplate probably goes away, but he's drinking and talking, nursing his drink, and his faceplate is closed.... Anyway...

With that being said, I think Getaway is going to have his tin can kicked hard by Cyclonus.
