Oh god, puppy-owning terrible-screenwriting Thundercracker! He might just dethrone stair-pusher-downer Skywarp as my favorite Seeker now.

I'm not particularly familiar with writing styles, but I get the impression that there are a whole heap being used all across the board of Transformers comics, and I'm very impressed.

Also, Thundercracker's awesome. :D

I mean, that is awesome. I can't put into words how much I love Thundercracker more than I used to. I mean, I would totally hang out with this guy.

I gotta use that one.

This is absolutely wonderful. I love Thundercracker the best out of all the seekers. Not only have they given him intelligence and introspection, but integrity and independence! OY ALLITERATION!! Seriously though, I love how this scene builds. It's so much juicier than a lot of the contrived story they've come up with just to try and include certain bots for the sake of it and to feel like it needs to go somewhere. Seriously! Seinfeld was successful! It goes to show that you can just have hilarious situations with characters once you have actually built them into something relatable and memorable. Then you can let the feels ensue. Well done well done.

Thundercracker is a pathetic idiot AND he's been on Earth too long. He's starting to use words like "actually" and "literally" like a friggin' Hipster ... I can't stand it :BOOM:

Mah, the more I read Thundercrackers story over and over, the more I see it as the actual writer's little jab at fanfiction writers. Right down to the crap names of the OC's. I'm loving this! XD

Thundercracker was not much more than a goon in G1 anyway, seeing him characterized like this makes me smile. :D

I love that 'Cracker is back in his F-22 body. He looks good!

Although, I have been enjoying the general lack of Earth-based stories, but at least Costa is out of the picture right now. I mean, he's a pretty decent writer - just not for Transformers. His work on G.I. Joe is actually pretty good.

But this looks interesting.
Back at it again!
