You're picking nits and you even say so much. By comics you mean the 36 pages we get per year? Sure it's new fiction. You knew what I was referring to though. We can't even access the old prose either.

I wouldn't mind getting a read off of them too. There are no comic book stores I know of in my area, so it's rare when I get the chance to read comics.
Throw in the War for Cybertron comic too. I've finally read Exodus a couple years back, and I've keep forgetting to ask you about them. Yes, my memory is the size of a Mini-Con.

I appreciate the offer but no, thank you. We bug them every year about collecting them in physical form at Botcon. I have my fingers crossed we get a more positive answer this year. Otherwise, I might take you up on it.

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?
