And nice job on giving away the ID of the 7th figure... or not. Too many possibilities! :shock:

I managed to identify 3:

G2 Eagle Eye from Gen. Armada Starscream
Turbofire from Gen. Trailcutter/Hoist
Blue Bacchus from Tomahawk

I have to disagree. the Tailgate/Windcharger mold is horrible. Very shellformery. Besides, Nightracer should be a sleek, fast car, not a muscle car.

I'm more curious about exactly what the deal was with Thrustinator.

Good eye, the details on her chest seem to match those on Tailgate. And I totally forgot about the whole Legends deal! #-o

cool comic, definatly does give ideas for what may be coing down the line in the future, either at a Botcon or TFSS 4.0. Nightracer would make for a cool 7th figure, but i would prefer she use the new Generations Arcee mold

Either way, I really LOVE that the club is revisiting their 'classic' figures from conventions gone by. So few people have those... and they have so little articulation next to modern figures. It's a huge win win. It keeps adds character development, lets new fans get their hands on those characters, increases value for those with the original figures... Bravo.

What did I just read? So lost. So, so lost. Too many characters in too many panels in too many places too quickly. The 2013 Machine Wars comic was so good, what the hell happened? I feel like Nightviper had a cocaine binge while writing the script for this (Not implying he actually does cocaine, just using that as an analogy).

Art was badass though, and the tease for possible future exclusives is always a fun thing.

Yes, there is so much going on in just those 4 pages or so with all 6 characters that I really would love a full 20 some comic.

Well that comic was lame. Also, nightracer from tailgate? No. I don't care if this is wings nightracer, or it wouldn't fit with the neo-classics aesthetic, the better option for her would've been animated arcee and put her in with the deluxe line-up. Also it would've made a better figure; that tailgate mold, not the best.

seeing as the end was the signing of the pax cybertronia, i can only hope for botcon 2015 to be D.o.t.F.P 2 instead of beastwars uprising, a story that could've remained untold.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Sep 25, 2014 12:45 pm

this may be me but what is with the characters having faces that look like Animated Optimus Primes' face?!? i notice this in this one and Termination

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!

So many characters, so many character moments, so many nods, and really good philosophy on Jhiaxus's plan. Whether he lives or dies, conquered or is conquered, he still wins.

SO glad I subscribed for next year. But now I need to get the pink versions of Gob and Zad to make the Serpent Scepter.

And get a load of who all was among the original Predacons with Sky-Byte and the G1 Preds: It's Slapper and Dark Scream!

And even Oilmaster made an appearance with Magnificus!
