I totally have to go to BotCon now, he's like my two most favorite and memorable characters in the history of Transformers, like EVER!

I need to get his autograph over my chest to have it tattooed.

Well, just keep thinking of how Colonel Sharp was killed in action by Blackout, while General Morshower lives on.Banjo-Tron wrote:I still can't get over the fact he played different characters in the movies, when he is in the military on both cases. Daft or what?

Do we really need a third?

Um, yes? Considering how awful the ending to Exiles was by leaving it on an open cliffhanger with things left unanswered and unexplored. There's still thousands of years left for the books to cover, even before the TFs finally reach Earth.Va'al wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Also, this reveals that someone named Dave Williams will be the co-author of the next book in the "Exodus Trilogy".

Not to mention that David J. Williams is not Alex Irvine.

He does have an interesting resumé, yes. But Irvine also teaches Creative Writing at university, and has had some good criticism of his non-TF work. Didn't stop him from being awful in those two books.
I still claim that comics would work better. The War for Cybertron mini-comic was so much better than the chapters it was taken from.

I'll be appearing at Botcon 2013 in San Diego this weekend.
I won't be at Artist Alley but I'll be one of the guests at IDW Publishing's VIP Tour, I'll be on their comics panel, and I'll be making some appearances at their booth throughout the weekend.
Hope to see you there!
