I loved it! The whole QTF homage in this is a great successor to Recordicons and the other previous gag comics we used to get. And SG Lockdown from Trailcutter is a neat idea.TF_JW wrote:A quick bit of trivia about the back page. Josh Perez and I had been brainstorming what kind of comic could go there and since he's a huge fan of both SG and QTF, his SD SG concept came to him pretty naturally.
He wanted to keep the line-up for this first issue to be as close to QTF as possible, so we have Goldbug (instead of Bumblebee), Optimus Prime, and Lockdown. But he was at a bit of a loss as to what a Lockdown from SG would be like. We kicked around a few ideas together, but then since Josh has been working very closely with Derrick Wyatt, he asked for his input as well. The character came together pretty quickly after the three of us brainstormed a bit, and I hope that future installments give Josh a chance to explore him a bit more (even if in a comedy setting). It's a pretty fun take on him that I think fans will enjoy.

The magazine articles that look over the history of the brand and reveal some lost/unknown info and imagery (like that prototype Doublespy) tend to be really good.TF_JW wrote:I'm glad! That was some really great imagery/information and I hope the fandom at large really appreciates it so we can continue the series!!

Thanks in advance.
Assuming you went with "standard mail" for the shipments (which they may still list as "third class" on the order form, same thing though), it's actually possible it sat motionless with USPS for weeks. That type of mail is "when we get around to it" delivery. Could have also gotten lost under who knows what, then found later and thrown back in to the delivery cycle.Phill_D wrote:I should have posted again, my #64 turned up the day after I posted my comment. Envelope totally battered and looking like it had been sitting at the bottom of a wet postage bag for weeks.
Luckily the magazine itself was fine.

No names given. The part about the two forms just says that the left one is the Destron and the right one is the Cybertron.ScottyP wrote:It's now Kick/Counterkick to me unless someone knows the intended name, which could be written there but I don't read a lick of Japanese.
Yeah, the whole point of that scene was to get rid of the Multiversal Singularity concept for good, meaning that the likes of Unicron, Primus, the Thirteen, etc. are no longer now all the same guy in every universe, thus now allowing for the existence of SG Unicron and SG Primus as seen in this comic.ScottyP wrote:The comic was cool, but man, I'll never stop saying let's just not worry about trying to make all continuities mesh together. Those parts are such a convoluted mess (in my opinion) I just skip right over them. So much stuff it's inaccessible without spending a huge time investment with it that I'm not inclined to do. Of course, maybe the start of this one was a "reset" of sorts on that? Anyway, I just choose to space out when singularities and multiverses come up, and just go on to the meat of things.
Probably just something done for fun. I wouldn't expect to see toys of SG X-Brawn, SG Checkpoint, or the SG Autotroopers unless there becomes a big enough demand for them.ScottyP wrote:Are the reformatted guys at the end a hint of some club toys later, or one of those things where the designs have been tossed around and the comic appearance is a litmus test for interest?

The Classicverse Autobots and the Shattered Glass Decepticons unite in a battle against Rodimus Prime and his new planet sized ally... Primus! After eons of slumber he is back and the only Transformers he plans on sparing are those Autobots loyal to him and the "true" Autobot cause. Get ready for an epic 11 page conclusion to this years Club Comic with a final battle you won't be expecting!
