...I'm not gonna lie. Of all the places to see an Attack on Titan reference, I was NOT expecting it to be on a variant cover for a Transformers comic.

That's actually pretty awesome.

Tailgate on Cyclonus' shoulders. Rewind on Chromedome's. Swerve annoying Magnus. Ravage in Megatron's arms (with a paw on Nautica oh my heart). Trailcutter with his drink. Pipes. Skids.

I like to think powerglide is in there because yes he was in season one but he was also suppose to be what tailgate became. Powerglide was originally suppose to be the bot that was found under cybertron and from nova Prime's era but he had a cameo in Chaos so that stopped that plan.

It s fun thing to think about, think of tailgate, his personality and everything he's done in MTMTE but it was powerglide.

Huh, really? Didn't know that was a pre-production plan...
In any case I'm glad it turned out to be Tailgate anyway. Powerglide already had plenty of focus in the original cartoon while Tailgate's had... I think one marvel issue and an obscure manga? So him getting this role is much nicer. Plus him practically never being heard of before in fiction works well into his character whereas a lot of people do know and have seen fiction of Powerglide.

Yeah Roberts said that in an underbase podcast years ago that powerglide was his original choice.

And wacthu talking about with tailgate my having much fiction?!?! He totally showed up in five faces of darkness and got stepped on by trypticon with swerve :lol:

the Powerglide part is also mentioned in MTMTE volume 1 which I have.

I prefer the Tailgate direction though. Good choice

Once you pointed that out, I decided to see who Skids is close to.

He's close to Rung and Chromedome.

OW.
