....Now I am less scared of them. But then again, it does humanize them a bit. I cant decide if thats good or not though. I love the "devotion" aspect. They really seem to believe that what they are doing will lead to a better life.

wait wait wait.

She??? How long has Nickel been with the DJD? Did they pick her up from Caminus or something because I thought Cybertronians were unfamiliar with gender

If Roberts doesn't use this as Vos' theme song, I'll be very sad.

I think Vos was somewhere here in Portland during Dark Cybertron when they were playing live

Very wrong place indeed. Please keep to appropriate channels for this type of request - and go ask Burn. Nicely.

I do hope they come up with a good name for him. Something that doesn't sound so awkward but fits him. (Never liked deathsaurus or Dezarus, or whatever)

I'm pretty sure he's going to still be called Deathsaurus. Mainly because I'm sure at the end of #38 they mention him, along with his pic, for #39.

I guess I'll have to be the one voice of dissent here. I can't even express my disappointment on this.

I don't want the DJD humanized, I especially don't want them having a mom. For many reasons, especially a feminist point of view, but I won't go there. Too hot of a topic.

The big thing is, why do we have to turn the Decepticons into pussy cats?

I do feel that it is important to make the Decepticons less 1 dimensional... bad because they're the bad guys. I like my bad guys to have a reason for it beyond "Because I am bad."

Depth, personality, reason, yes. Cutesy... it spoils the appeal of the DJD (I probably wouldn't even think twice about it if it was any other Decepticons). The DJD are monsters, why can't they remain that way? Why does everything scary (some of us like things scary) have to become Tumblr girl squee-fest material?

I wanted more depth to the DJD,but I was thinking more... I dunno, reason they were chosen, what personality/life event quirk brought them to where they are now. Not cookies, goodnight kisses, and motherly scolding.

Yeah, this.

I agree with you. Don't really like it too much. They are horrifically brutal, they should have remained such. after all, removing Megsatron as a villian left a vacuum and I was hoping the djd would fill it. I think this is a misstep.

I think the problem is after their first appearance, and the alternate probability of them shown in the slaughter-hause; there's no way to develop them further without making them look more like wrestling heels, without changing the tone. Based on their few issues alone, one would think they've been booked to be the most OP transformers ever; to the point of why isn't the next issue, "DJD goes on rampage, Kills everyone everywhere". If they did something that was just this is how american psycho #1 got his/her job, it would get boring, especially considering the DJD haven't been shown before this point to have anymore character than "I love blood and violence! I've got a boner for murder!".
