Or they survived by feeding on his remains. One alt mode's parts worth of rations for each Throttlebot.

... I'm in a dark place today and will back away from the keyboard now.

Maybe that's the way the bring Six Shot in as a Titan master eh?

Because there is literally nothing left but the remains of his head.

I'm glad to see Defensor back, especially since Superion is "dead" and Victorion is on Earth.

re; Shining Armor, I hope it will tell us where Stardrive is now, if this was set around 200 years ago.

And OP- I wonder if the focus will shift from Earth to Cybertron with TAAO out of the picture, or if OP will become the ongoing that's set in both places.

Disagree. Always liked Defensor as a character and as a toy! His individual bots are all interesting and his own personality is quite endearing too.

8 years! 8 years since spotlight metrolex! I am stoked!

100% agreed! Can't wait to see what this group is up to!

Gonna have to give Shining Armour a shot. I like ROM from what I read of the Humble Bundle a while ago. I like the idea off the SolStar Order and their attempts to have a Cybertronian that is not a heartless killing machine (as the universe seeing them at large.)

Defensor's one of my favourite combiners; alongside Bruticus, Victorion and Predaking. He was always way more interesting with a more varied mix of vehicles than '5 planes', and I like that the Protectobots keep adding to their ranks. Also helps that they've got some of the more interesting personalities among combiner components too

Predaking and Victorion both have excellent, unified looks, which I love. Bruticus was my second favourite combiner. He's just awesome and I loved the Revenge of Bruticus episodes in the G1 cartoon.

Shining armor is really good. It's worth it.

Defensor?

Rook?

I guess I'll start reading Lost Light starting with #10!

Defensor is one of the best combiners ever, especially with the addition of Rook!

I absolutely love how they have enough members to replace all the other limbs if they get wounded.

I'd love to get Heatrock, Skyfeather and Medix among them at some point maybe there could be some jokes about Medix looking like First Aid while also becoming his protege like First Aid was with Ratchet.


Defensor is easily one of the best combiners in general and to me it helps that he has probably the most solid figure in CW.

I'm glad that Defensor is back (he's my favorite combiner), but I hope the book does him justice. Lost Light has been really lackluster up until now, so hopefully the mutineers section gets things back on track. And I'm glad they are using Rook.

Oh, and I am thinking Stardrive is set to die, just throwing that out there.

And yay for throttlebots!! Bout time too

Story updated with three TPBs coming out too: Wrath of Karza, GI Joe volume 2, Rom volume 3.

So the penciller did not draw Groove on him, but look at the coloring. It is colored like how Defensor looks when Groove is attached. I kinda like that look, but I do agree that I wish they would draw Groove as a more prominent chestplate.

Here's another vote for Heatrock, Skyfeather, and Medix!

This should probably get moved to the Optimus Prime thread.

I think you are probably right.
