Transcendent synopsis and reaction.
Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2008 10:30 amI threw in a brief synopsis of this issue's TF club comic for those who don't get it.
Overall I liked the story, lots of great cameos, a good plot, the introduction of new characters. Transtech Cybertron looks a bit movie inspired, but not in a bad way.
Alpha Trion was a good touch. He was left out of the fiction at Botcon 2007, so now he had made an appearance. (I still want a Legends Alpha Trion!)
In "Transcendent" Breakaway, Landquake and Skyfall arrive on a parallel Transtech Cybertron, in the city of Axiom Nexus. They are greeted by that world's Cheetor and Silverbolt, and are worried that Cliffjumper has gone missing. The arrivals are told that they are among many to arrive on this world and are brought to "processing." Among those waiting in processing are Autoceptor, Bad Boy, Charger with Fire Beast, Cosmos, Cy-Kill, Pathfinder, Universe Repugnus, Sky-Byte, Smallfoot and Treads. After processing the three Autobots are greeted by the ancient Autobot Alpha Trion and taught in the ways of outworlders in Axiom Nexus. Breakaway is then abducted by Transtech Shockwave.
In a second, one-page story we see Action Master Jackpot and G1 Hubcap making a getaway while security forces are hot on their tail. This story is supposed to continue on the club web site as a text fiction. Curious how this will end up.
