Heck that goes for all other TF comics too, but most will probably be hard to find. I have an omnibus, but it's a volume 2 of some older series. Never found Vol. 1.

If you want to get to know Victorion better, you should watch that recent Combiner Wars online show. They really add a lot to the character and dont just have her be randomly there doing nothing

That's a good one, WJ.
Anyway I wonder if our friend Sjeng was actually asking about the Unite Warriors/Legends comics?

I find it a bit degrading that we have a comic with fun female villains taking the lead and being awesome, and the first thing men say is "sexist". Its like putting down something that could instead be hailed as more fiction involving females within a very (coinsciously made) male centric hobby. To me, thats where the real sexism is, in the people seeing an isue that might not be there, its speak to their bias. I support any fiction involving new female characters, especially some who kick ass as much as these and show the men how its really done!

While I will stay far away from that can of worms, I will say at least this. The symbolism of Moon Heart "amputating" the combination pegs of the all male Sky Reign team isn't lost on me.

Really?! You guys still think of them like "that" Fine then, I'll repeat what I said earlier:
1) Don't think about where those pegs have been.
2) The females have them too, including Victorion.
Have fun with your cold showers
Regarding the "sexism", I don't really see any of it. It's just the characters acting out on gender-assigned character tropes, nothing more, and both men and women can switch between them (it's more common for men to adapt female traits however). It's only truly sexism if women or men are not allowed to adopt the traits of the opposite, or are treated differently when they do (like women execs being paid less than male counterparts). That's all I'll say.

You know, I'm really pleased with the color Takara used for Afterburner. Magically, it seems to be red enough to be screen accurate to his robot mode look while also being orange enough to be screen accurate to Computron's right arm. I love it!

And it's so similar to RID Op/Fire Convoy's Blizzard-Storm attack that if the shadowy Unicron-backed team does turn out to be the Baldigus/Ruination guys, maybe their counterpart will be a new Car Robots gestalt, consisting of FC, the 3 car brothers, and...erm...maybe Rook repainted into a random bullet train? No wait, Indy Heat/Skidz, that's the ticket.Kurona wrote:

That ladder assembly is honestly the greatest thing about the Hot Spot version of the mold. There's so many things you can do with it.
I'd prefer the fourth limb be Wrecker Hook/Tow-Line from the Trailbreaker mold with the unused Hoist head since, in Car Robots, Wrecker Hook was the cousin of the 3 Car Robo Brothers. He's part of their family.Bumblevivisector wrote:And it's so similar to RID Op/Fire Convoy's Blizzard-Storm attack that if the shadowy Unicron-backed team does turn out to be the Baldigus/Ruination guys, maybe their counterpart will be a new Car Robots gestalt, consisting of FC, the 3 car brothers, and...erm...maybe Rook repainted into a random bullet train?

What took so long? Did you miss the preorder window?
