The Energon Pub

Just a heads-up:

Markerguru posted the first 6 pages both as lineart and colored on his Deviantart account.

Darn! I was gonna post this. Beat me there.

This is still coming out tomorrow, right?

Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Swindle, and a bot that looks a lot like Optimus Prime. Looks good.

Front Paged and Credited.

Thanks for the links, I love all the comic artwork uncluttered by speech bubbles.

Hey, is that Optimus on page 6?

That's what I was thinking.

Would they call him Optimus or Orion? Or Optronix, though that was a DW thing.

It's got to be Prime (or whatever they are going to call him), and his "brother" Ultra Magnus is standing directly behind him.

A bit funny that so many G1 Autobots are all there standing next to one another.

Can anyone tell what the names on the coffins are?

But he isn't Prime right now. Sentinel is.

And the names of the two dead bots are Fastback (the red one) and...well...the name of the other bot (the yellow oen) was never said though in issue 3 it might.

Fastback & Bumper

So long dudes... we hardly knew ya

That's why I said "whatever they are going to call him". He could be Optimus, Optronix or Orion, as you pointed out.

Thanks for the names, my eyes aint as good as they used to be.

I'm not one to swear, but...

Holy Sh*tmeister!

That is epic!

<3

I'm pretty sure the the yellow 'Bots coffin says "Bumper" But don't quote me on that, just looks like that to my eyes.

Also do Prime and Magnus remind anyone else of Armada Prime in design?

Notice Prime has his arm around Elita One, too.

I'm looking forward to reading this complete and in one shot.

I'm still kind of a recent comic novice, but I know most other TF universes well.

So without bashing what I have yet to experiance, I'm just gonna say that from what I've seen here, I can see why some fans are feeling somewhat let down here.

Looks amazing! Hook's "repair shop" and the Autobot's funeral are my favorite pages. Only one thing bugs me: why do Soundwave (or any Transformer for that matter) have to knock on a door to enter a building? Don't they have any sensors on those doors that detect energy signatures or anything like that? Maybe I I have an over active imagination (and nothing better to do) , but still I wonder.

YAY! I know where I'm going tomorrow morning!!

Oooh very nice...I now have a new desktop background (Page 6).

I also know where I'm going as soon as I get my paycheck on Friday. Hopefully my local Comic Book Store has held a copy of this and OP Spotlight for moi.

Damn stoopid American Public Holidays

I went down to my comic shop today during lunch (today is Thursday too by the way) and due to a Public Holiday in the US, Australian Comic stores wont get there orders in until Friday, possibly Saturday.

No Megatron Origins for me until Monday at the earliest.

Awww, a sad tragic departure ahead. Can't wait to read this one!

Holy graphics!

oh boy oh boy oh boy ! My name in neon letters !

Okay, enough of that.

Looks like Megatron is making himself a best-of of warrior abilities. Nicely creepy, that.

It's a very stupid holiday. On labor day we all have the day off....what? We have to have a holiday every two weeks it seems, so the banks and the post office is closed. GRR!!

Well, atleast those with a good job, benifits, and a 401k get the day off. The rest of us who do more menial or labor intensive jobs. We get jipped on mail, makes no sense to me. Oh well, 'se la vi'

These previewpages rule, especially the part where Megatron gets a "donor arm"
