Oh, they're the aliens from "Webworld".

Also, that extra Megatron helmet isn't Animated Megatron's, it's Super Megatron's.

The Alya from Torkulon? Sneaky.

And seriously? Super Megatron, with the two circles in the crest? In my defense I wasn't that far off then, as Animated Megs is based on him,

You mean the circles, or the analogy? If the latter, at least the helmet designs of Super Megatron and Animated (Earth Mode) Megatron are a match.

Woah, that's weird. Your post must have been edited since I meant to ask about this quote:

That still leaves Megatron's helmet... if it actually is Megatron's...

Y'know what? Let's just call the extra Megatron helmet a double homage and call it a day. [-(

But we weren't arguing... :-(

Anywho, it seems the new artist is taking a different approach to senaking in obscure stuff. Whereas we first had tons of obscure characters, now we have complete episodes. The previous one mainly spoofed The Master Builders, the one before that City of Steel, now we have these: Transformers the Movie with Galvatron's birth down to the grid pattern in the background, and Starscream's coronation scene. And then Headmasters' Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime with Optimus and Rodimus Prime at the same time, obviously. Webworld, any episode with Galvatron's sparking (like FFoD pt.2 and The Big Broadcast of 2006)... Are there more?

I know, I wasn't trying to imply there was an argument. I was just saying, let's say it's a double homage.

I'm not really sure how it's a homage to Animated Megatron since the homage in question only comes from the deco, which is Super Megatron-based. The shape wasn't in question.

Otherwise, we'd have to label the helmet a homage to Animated Megatron in every single issue it appears in since it's the standard Kre-O Megatron helmet, and no one's claiming the same for the Sharkticon Megatron helmet yet the only thing about that helmet that homages Sharkticon Megatron is just its deco.

And I was talking from a deco point of view with the Kre-O helmets. I also said that between Animated Megatron and Super Megatron individually, the helmet designs match.

Well, what is it about the deco of Animated Megatron's helmet that would make a Kre-O version of it different from the regular Kre-O Megatron helmet? Since the "SM" is the only thing on the helmet that points it to Super Megatron.

Well I'll be darned. The "S" looked like two circles to me, that's what threw me off.

Groove is only in the last panel, gold face, behind first aid.

Heh, Blades gets attacked by Decepticons with emergency vehicle alts. Well, I don't know if Cannonball technically has one, but he's repainted from them at least. Probably would've been more appropriate to use Barricade or Tailwhip or whatever other Protecta-Cons there are.

Whoa-hey, is that Kreon Skyfeather in panel 5?

Edit: OH MAN, TINY HEATROCK TOO!

by **RiddlerJ** » Wed Mar 05, 2014 8:24 am

I'm assuming that's Metroplex's transformation cog Swindle is running off with.

Kreons - so cute

First Aid, not Blades. What's interesting is that they retained their current US names, down to Streetwise being renamed Streetsmart.

"Thrust" is indeed Skyfeather and the other guy is indeed Heatrock from the Gaia Guardian kits. Good eye.

And the episode homages is The Ultimate Weapon from Season 3, with First Aid depressed, and Swindle stealing Metroplex' transformation cog. I have a fondness for that one, because I sympathise with First Aid, plus the Netherlands are in it. And it's not necessarily a false portrayal...
