In the commentary at the end he mentions how Megatron's connection to anti-matter isn't used enough in TF fiction. It was almost verbatim to what Roberts says in one of the TF UK commentaries, which came before he used it himself in MTMTE. My theory? He was just keeping up with the Joneses. Or Robertses.Sabrblade wrote:Honestly, the only important thing they do when on Earth is let Grimlock know about Megatron's antimatter. Is that why Furman put them there?

100% agreed. Cool to see them but I don't get it nowD-Maximal_Primal wrote:If anything the biggest disappointment for me was the setup of Star Saber and Deathsaurus, but they did almost nothing
But that still doesn't answer my question. Why did Furman put the Coneheads on the Nemesis (especially when they were never indicated to have ever boarded that ship in the first place back in the Marvel Comics) and bring them to Earth at all if they were only just going to get sent right back to Cybertron so quickly?ScottyP wrote:In the commentary at the end he mentions how Megatron's connection to anti-matter isn't used enough in TF fiction.

I actually preferred the RG1 art too, it spoke more to me, I just liked it more

Botanica was messier. I like Botanica and Beast Machines but RG1's ending was a real slop imo. With you on this being the best TF comic during its run but it wasn't a steep hill to climb.partholon wrote:all in all the messiest ending of a furman comice ive seen.
i dunno.
STILL . the best TF comic out there though. saddly.
Given the end result, totally agreed. I'd guess he wanted to use them after getting to do something with them in Earth Wars, but the lack of planned toys may have been a factor for editorial to want to limit their presence. Could have still done the shot of Magnus, Maximus and Saber in issue 4 without Star Saber needing to show up earlier, we'd all have followed.Rodimus Prime wrote:As for Deathsaurus and Star Saber, I said it before and I'll say it again: they had no business in this comic whatsoever.

Their role was completely pointless.
Yeah, and the other Autobots AUNTIE awoke are still outside too. They all gotta get put back inside the Ark (and destroyed again in the Autobots' case), but they were all left unaccounted for.Rodimus Prime wrote:Assuming we won't get any other stories like this, which I hope we do, there's 1 glaring continuity hole I won't forget. In issue 1 of the original Marvel comic, all the Bots and Cons wake up inside the Ark, including Megatron. But at the end of this story, Megatron drops outside. How does his body get back inside the Ark?
