Yeah, about that. How the $&%& does that happen, anyway? Guy got his tail ripped off and his roboguts spilled all over the place.

Well you can't always get what you want... I think characters who clearly died so obviously should remain dead. Just bring on the Arcee issue and get this series over with.

That was quite possibly one of the worst comics i've ever read. Not that there was much to read in the first place, but geez, pointless!

Brace yourselves, I'm about to do something I never thought possible: I agree wholeheartedly with Burn. (love ya, Burn!)

Don't get me wrong: the art was adorable. Scampering robokitty was just...facemelty at times.

But...story? Conflict? Now, if _Tales of the Fallen_ were a series--like each issue was an episode that added to a plot, I'd perhaps be intrigued as to who his new master is, but thus far, they've seemed to stand as oneshots. So... huh?

Anyone else beginning to think maybe Furman just...isn't even TRYING anymore?

HK, sigh.

I totally believe that as long as the memory remains intact every other part of the transformer can be destroyed and they still can be brought back to life. But there just didn't seem anything left of Ravage. And if he was brought back from nothing, would they really bring him back exactly the same, because it looks that way.

I just didn't see the point of this story, was it even going anywhere? It seemed a little on the lame side in my opinion, it just doesn't pick my interest into wanting to read more.
