Well, he is kinda deranged. The whole torture-hobby, he drinks "blood" in his spare time, steroid-induced rages, hangs corpses on his wall, general intense zealotry etc. That, and after meeting the turned Megatron in person, only to have him slip away, Tarn's going to be even more unbalanced than usual.snavej wrote:I can't believe that he only now realises that 'emotion is an issue'.

My jaw would actually dislocate it would drop so hard if Tarn turns out to be Elita. Or Dion from back when he was Orion Pax. (I just started reading the Transformers TPBs, so I don't know if they're in that series. I didn't see them in MTMTE.)Ironhidensh wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I can't wait to find out who Tarn really is... (Unless it's been revealed and I totally missed it. Or am I just being paranoid?)
All we know of Tarn is he is, or was, very close to Optimus.

Ah. Thank you. Still would have been awesome if it was actually her...Dr Va'al wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:My jaw would actually dislocate it would drop so hard if Tarn turns out to be Elita.

Elita shows up in Windblade and will do again in Till All Are One.

Why? I understand that his fate is still a mystery, but why would Dominus have been so close to Optimus previously?D-Maximus_Primal wrote:while Tarn has not been unmasked, I am still adamant it is Dominus Ambus.

Wait, when did this information come out? I hadn't heard that.
And while Tarn has not been unmasked, I am still adamant it is Dominus Ambus.

I have a couple of issues with that theory, but the biggest one by far is that Tarn lacks the Ambus family's distinct facial insignia, from the one time we've seen him unmasked.

Overlord was found and rebuilt by his mysterious "benefactors." I don't remember it being specified whether he was rebuilt to his previous physical specifications, but I do know that Tarn is very powerful, especially wielding double fusion cannons. How they didn't blow a hole straight through Megatron when Tarn shot him in the chest still baffles me. Maybe Tarn wasn't really 100% into killing Megs?Ironhidensh wrote:So, just how powerful is Tarn, or has Overlord been severely weakened?

D-Maximus_Primal wrote:Ok, so here is my theory behind Dominus.
1) Roller is too obvious. Remember back in Shadow play? It was looking like the senator was Magnus right? and then it was Shockwave and it was a huge surprise. And then with Minimus being Magnus, also a big surprise. there were subtle hints that people never noticed before until the reveal. Now here, Roller has had every thing point his way. Green spark, size, disappearance, damaged right side of the head, addictions, was encouraged to read Megatron's work, some of the head details, etc. But Roberts has never made something that obvious, and to be the hints have been absolutely telling us it's Roller, but with Roberts I doubt he would make it that obvious.
2) The load-bearer spark. Minimus has it, and if Dominus is his brother, it is not unreasonable to assume he had it too. Maybe he just never used it, much like minimus may not have until he was upgraded to Magnus. If that were the case, than the face we saw in issue 39 was the "Magnus" face and Dominus is actually inside like Minimus is. Also, load-bearers are special types of point-one percenters. And also, in issue 32 where the alternate Magnus was killed, Tarn knew that the right hand was a recall trigger, so he cut it off. And he knew Minimus was inside, so he drug his corpse out of the armor.
3) Rewind. On the alternate Lost Light, Rewind was the sole survivor. That would be a little part of Dominus speaking through, making sure his former love survived. And he may not have cared for Rewinds new love, hence the reason they tried to get domey to wipe his own memories and killed him when he didn't.
4) The whole scene from this past issue. Dominus was a well known figure on cybertron. He was someone who went on quests and could be figured to be one of the best of the best. That means, if Megatron could turn him, he could turn anyone. And Dominus being the academic and scholar that he is, would easily be able to memorize Megatron's writings and know stuff inside and out. (I will admit this last bit is a bit weak)
So I am still adamant that Dominus is Tarn, especially since Rewind is shown trying to figure out the statue of the disappeared which he is on. Roller's name is shown, again an obvious reference and one that goes against him being Tarn as it's just too obvious.

Uh, being a veteran makes people MORE at risk of emotional and psychological problems, not less.
If anything, after a few million years of low intensity warfare, you would think there would be more Transformers with such problems
