Forgive me. But, did Earthrise Megatron just suddenly become Ultra Megatron Omega? Maybe I'm missing something. I didn't see Megs transition between those 2 forms.

Yep. He absorbed a large amount of the Terrorcons' Angolmois Energy into himself, turning himself into Megatron Omega: Perfect Form.

First we see him using his big sword to draw out the energy from the Terrorcons and into himself. Then the Terrorcons call for the Terror Breastar so they can combine into Abominus. When it first attaches to Hun-Gurrr, Megatron is down on the ground glowing in a bright aura surrounding his black silhouette. The Terrorcons then combine with Hun-Gurrr to form Abominus, but right as they do so, Megatron unveils his new form, having likewise just completed his own metamorphosis.

Ahh!! Now I understand what happened. Thanks for clearing that up, Sabrblade!

"Megatron Omega: Perfect Form". Quite a name. Shame it was short lived.

Not entirely. Previous chapters hinted that there's more to come for that Perfect Form, with the chapter that first showed it declaring it to be the form that drove humanity off of Earth, completely.

Another Abominus comic - https://takaratomymall.jp/img/goods/4904810172086/comics_second.pdf

The dying Spike gets his mind put into a new version of Autobot X called "Neo Autobot X" (well, "Neo Cybertron X" in the Japanese text) that's made of Weaponizer/Powerdasher/Modulator parts.

Rodimus Unicronus, Netflix Mirage, Netflix Scrapface, and Selects SG Ratchet are repurposed as evil forms of Hot Rod, Mirage, Reflector, and Ratchet corrupted by Angolmois Energy.

Siege Raindance and Grand Slam also appear.

Computron, Superion, and Defensor share limbs to form Comperian. In response, Abominus forces Bruticus and Menasor to share their limbs with him to form Abomenaticus.

Though, Blast Off looks more like the Hasbro Amazon version of the mold instead of the Takara Unite Warriors version, being dark brown instead of bronze.

G2 Dreadwing is now in his Thrilling 30 toy body, while Smokescreen is in his Earthrise toy body.

Jan and Illumina from Victory are all grown up, married, and have a kid of their own.

Megatron Omega goes critical and blasts Optimus dead, making his look like his Amazon-exclusive Alternate Universe toy. But his Reconfiguration Matrix brings him back to life rather quickly. So his brief death was just another excuse to get another toy into the story.

Abominus has a new energy beam attack fired from his tummy called "Angolmois Terror Storm".

Megatron Omega absorbs all of the Angolmois Energy from said attack and grows giant sized. Like, bigger than Titan class sized.

The name of Volcanicus's sword "Magma Blade" is misspelled as "Magna Blade".

Abominus decapitates Megatron Omega with his Terror Breaster, using an attack called "Angolmois Terror Cutter". But, Megatron just puts is head right back on like no problem.

On Planet Zone, Dai Atlas and the Powered Masters are met through a Warp Hole by Primus, the Golden Lagoon toys, the 2002 e-HOBBY Meister Gold Version toy (for Jazz), and the mysterious Mutant Beast Wars Soundwave that first appeared in the e-HOBBY Convobat and Magna Convoy manga as a redeco of Titans Return Mindwipe with Titan Master Nightbeat as his head.

Of note, Primus looks different in this than he did before. In previous chapters, he looked like the normal G1 Rodimus Prime design with a toy-accurate trailer (kinda like MP-9). But here, his design is slimmer, sleaker, and sharper, with more pronounced shoulders. Could this be our first glimpse at Kingdom's upcoming Commander class Rodimus Prime design?

EDIT: According to this TFW post, the reason Primus looks so different in that last panel of the final page is not because of his design hinting at the Kingdom toy for Rodimus, but simply because he (and no one else in that panel) was drawn specifically by Ban Magami instead of Hayato Sakamoto. So, false alarm on the toy-hinting.

I don't know who to feel more sorry for: the Quintesson, or the way Rung was used (it's even called out as Energon Enema)

It originates from Earth Wars.

Golden Lagoon squad reporting in. All of those have been released previously except for Rodimus, Jazz,and Mindwipe (??). I'd for sure take a gold PotP Jazz as I need one more autobot to complete my Inferno combiner, not sure about the rest though.

Anyway, very nice to see Comperian and Abomenaticus in fiction, finally. Volcaticon (Volcanicus + Computron) does raise an interesting question: is Scattershot's combination ability superior to others of his kind? I mean, how many combined form names does he have?!

News Credits: 56 · Wed Oct 28, 2020 5:30 pm

Oh yes this is Glorious!. My Siege Rung was just a normal Battlemaster (since I never was a fan of the whole Primus thing in IDW), so Thank you TT, you never let me down. My Rung now has a purpose! :lol:

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Sabrblade has let us know that Takara Tomy have uploaded the next chapter in their ongoing Transformers Generations Selects Manga! This one carries on the story of the previous chapter, where Abominus was running riot and poor Spike paid the ultimate price for trusting the villainous Quintessons...

Sabrblade has also provided a description of what happens, including an interesting tidbit about why Primus differs from the design seen else where in the manga, as it turns out this one was designed by Ban Magami instead of the usual mangaka, Hayato Sakomoto.

The rumour all along has been that the Commander Class for Kingdom is a new Rodimus Prime (to go along with the Hot Rod in Studio Series 86) just don't expect it to look like the last panel as that was designed by some one else and isn't representative of what we'll get. Now having said that, will Takara Tomy redeco the Kingdom toy? Highly possible though it would be the first Commander Class to be redeco'ed as such.

Um, wait, what? Since when was Reflector not evil? Don't remember Reflector in the last chapter (and can't be bothered at the moment to double check), is it possible this is actually Scrapface and they're implying that he was an Autobot and this is his turned form?

I think in this context the Autobots and Decepticons had joined forces so Reflector was "good"

I've heard that rumor before, and Commander class seems a little on the big side for a Rodimus Prime, unless he's going to come with a mega number of accessories. I wouldn't expected a new Rodimus to be larger then a Leader class, and only that if he has a removable trailer like the G1 Toy, otherwise a voyager.

The Decepticons under Megatron aren't evil anymore.

Plus, even if they were, the Angolmois Energy would have just made Reflector even eviler.

New point of discussion.

So, over at TFWiki, some users have determined that the shadowy figure who took Lawbhammer from Halfshell back in the fourth God Neptune chapter was Starscream. Specifically the golden Starscream who's a member of Primus's group of gold warriors (using the CW Deluxe mold).

Frankly, I can't really see anything in that shadow's design that denotes any recognizable details, let along any detail resembling the CW Deluxe Starscream mold.

I sort of can, if you look at the shape of his mouth there and compare it to the arrival of Primus and Co in that last panel, its a near enough match.

Wait, that's a mouth? Not an eye?

Then what's the little blue starry slit in the bottom corner, there?
