Long live the Age of Roche!

Although Joe isn't doing a bad job with AHM either.

Is this supposed to be a flashback to Spotlight Shockwave?

I think it might pre-date Spotlight Shockwave, to show how the Dynobots were an elite unit of soldiers who worked together...in contrast to what we will be seeing for at least part of this series.

IDW Publishing Tf Forums- Day 6 of the "10 Days of Dino" continues as Richter posts what we know is the last panel from that page, based on the 5 page preview MAXIMUM DINOBOTS #! we saw that Chris Ryall had posted yesterday.

Today features Snarl in his pre-Earth form doing his best Sludge impersonation, and busting up the ground using a cool staff.

Maximum Dinobots #1 is due out this Wednesday, December 10th.

Nice! I like Snarl's staff. He's my second fav Dinobot next to Grimmy.

Snarl's back profile reminds me somewhat of a Ninja turtle... Don't know why.

Cannot wait till this Thursday for MD, needs me some continuation and the chance of closure on the "tion" series.

I gotta say I'm loving the Dynobots pre-earth look. Specially with Nick Roche and Josh Burcham doing the art. Awesome stuff

I get it on Wendsday. *rubs it in trunks' face*

In trunks' defense, it was the title the IDW guys gave their thread: http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopi ... &start=120

And on the seventh day:

Gotta love (but also worry about) Slag killing the Decepticons who have surrendered, and Sludge decapitating another with his bare hands. B-)

I can see Ultra Magnus going after the Dynobots if they continue this kind of brutality.

But the Pun is so bad it makes it good! :grin:

I know we have seen the artwork already from Ryall's 5 page preview, but it'll be ncie to crop the iamges all together come the end of the 10 days.
