Are Kup and Action Man like this in the Revolutionaries? Cuz that little exchange is just the best!

Yes! There they are! With the final issue coming out after First Strike started, I was worried about the fate Revolutionaries. Now I'm curious to see what adventures they're gonna get to go on.

Saying yes seems like an understatement.

Those two carry the series, this issue, and the entire shared universe.

Revolutionaries is absolutely the best thing to come out of the shared universe so far, and a big reason for that is Action Man and Kup. If you were on the fence I can't recommend it enough

Wait, wraiths can't possess inorganic material? Then what about them possessing Cybertronians over in Rom vs Transformers?

good guido almighty

Well, that mini isn't over yet and it -was- shown to be something previously-unheard of. We'll see...

Nothing truer has been said. There is a reason Kup's titans return toy should have had the head named "Action Man" or "Ian". I renamed him Action Man, this is the best shared universe pairing, no doubt

Possession implies being able to control the host. What happened in ROM Vs TF was not that.

Also from iTunes, we have a quick preview of the opening pages of the second part of the story started in GI Joe: First Strike, in the MASK tie-in comic! Take a look below at IDW M.A.S.K.: First Strike #1, and stay with us next week for the end of the main event.

The final issue of IDW Publishing's First Strike crossover event hits its release date next week, and Newsarama has the full preview for it already! There are still a couple of tie-in issues left but the bulk of the event is almost over - so check out how it opens below, and head back here next week for a review and discussion.

War for the Core! Deep within Cybertron, the ultimate weapon to kill all Transformers is about to be activated! Meanwhile, Elita One plans to stop the weapon—by killing every human on Cybertron! Either way, looks like some species on Cybertron is going down unless Optimus Prime and Scarlett can save the day…
