TONS of cameos from the Siege and Earthrise lines, and even a few from Power of the Primes.
Plus, Grimlock combines with the Technobots as his limbs and Scattershot as a handheld cannon weapon to form a new combiner named "Volcaticon" (Volcanicus + Computicon; "Computicon" is Computron's Japanese name).

Seacons 'We will use deluxes as a gun'
Dinobots 'yeagh, about that'
Really doubt Volcanicus can support the weight of that but def cool to see

The Terrorcons are apparently working for the Quintessons, who seem to want Earth's Angolmois Energy for themselves.
Pteraxadons are also Quint allies, and Cutthroat refers to them as "Junior"
The Terrorcons also apparently underwent an Angolmois Energy Power Up to get their new forms.
Inferno is in his POTP body, and all five of Orthia's fembot components are visible in this comic.
Sinnertwin refers to both the AllSpark (if he means the afterlife, it's odd that he would call it that instead of its Japanese name of "Matrix Zone") and something else called the "HellSpark".
Powerdashers Aragon and Cromar cameo in their WFCT bodies, along with Impactor making his JG1 debut!
A Quint Judge MURDERS SPIKE by shooting him with a laser gun!!!!
The new chesplate for Abominus is named the "Terror Breastar" and attaches to Hun-Gurrr in monster mode to make him "Wing Hun-Gurrr".
Hot Rod is still in his POTP toy body and gets doused with Angolmois Energy, turning him into Rodimus Unicronus.

I wonder with seeing Inferno and Ricochet if the next will be a new Combiner team of Autobots, that we never got officially for Inferno?I'd love to see a Combiner mold for Sideswipe ( and thus made into Red Alert as seen in these pages)... But not sure if that is Possible. Having it be Jazz & Ricochet, then Sideswipe & Inferno would be nice and only require one new toy to be developed to be used twice.

As for Spike's death, he it was better executed than in Marvel G2 #2, so no complaints from me.

The PotP one can do the same thing, just tried it. He does have a tooling change that isn't visible: the holder for the Terrorcon Enigma has been replaced with a flat plate for the Terror Breaster to attach (which possibly came from Turtler like his gun did).

Yep. He absorbed a large amount of the Terrorcons' Angolmois Energy into himself, turning himself into Megatron Omega: Perfect Form.thedistinctroom wrote:Forgive me. But, did Earthrise Megatron just suddenly become Ultra Megatron Omega? Maybe I'm missing something. I didn't see Megs transition between those 2 forms.
First we see him using his big sword to draw out the energy from the Terrorcons and into himself. Then the Terrorcons call for the Terror Breastar so they can combine into Abominus. When it first attaches to Hun-Gurrr, Megatron is down on the ground glowing in a bright aura surrounding his black silhouette. The Terrorcons then combine with Hun-Gurrr to form Abominus, but right as they do so, Megatron unveils his new form, having likewise just completed his own metamorphosis.

"Megatron Omega: Perfect Form". Quite a name. Shame it was short lived.
Posted by Sabrblade on October 14th, 2020 @ 9:55am CDT
Not entirely. Previous chapters hinted that there's more to come for that Perfect Form, with the chapter that first showed it declaring it to be the form that drove humanity off of Earth, completely.thedistinctroom wrote:"Megatron Omega: Perfect Form". Quite a name. Shame it was short lived.

The dying Spike gets his mind put into a new version of Autobot X called "Neo Autobot X" (well, "Neo Cybertron X" in the Japanese text) that's made of Weaponizer/Powerdasher/Modulator parts.
Rodimus Unicronus, Netflix Mirage, Netflix Scrapface, and Selects SG Ratchet are repurposed as evil forms of Hot Rod, Mirage, Reflector, and Ratchet corrupted by Angolmois Energy.
Siege Raindance and Grand Slam also appear.
Computron, Superion, and Defensor share limbs to form Comperian. In response, Abominus forces Bruticus and Menasor to share their limbs with him to form Abomenaticus.
Though, Blast Off looks more like the Hasbro Amazon version of the mold instead of the Takara Unite Warriors version, being dark brown instead of bronze.
G2 Dreadwing is now in his Thrilling 30 toy body, while Smokescreen is in his Earthrise toy body.
Jan and Illumina from Victory are all grown up, married, and have a kid of their own.
Megatron Omega goes critical and blasts Optimus dead, making his look like his Amazon-exclusive Alternate Universe toy. But his Reconfiguration Matrix brings him back to life rather quickly. So his brief death was just another excuse to get another toy into the story.
Abominus has a new energy beam attack fired from his tummy called "Angolmois Terror Storm".
Megatron Omega absorbs all of the Angolmois Energy from said attack and grows giant sized. Like, bigger than Titan class sized.
The name of Volcanicus's sword "Magma Blade" is misspelled as "Magna Blade".
Abominus decapitates Megatron Omega with his Terror Breaster, using an attack called "Angolmois Terror Cutter". But, Megatron just puts is head right back on like no problem.
On Planet Zone, Dai Atlas and the Powered Masters are met through a Warp Hole by Primus, the Golden Lagoon toys, the 2002 e-HOBBY Meister Gold Version toy (for Jazz), and the mysterious Mutant Beast Wars Soundwave that first appeared in the e-HOBBY Convobat and Magna Convoy manga as a redeco of Titans Return Mindwipe with Titan Master Nightbeat as his head.
Of note, Primus looks different in this than he did before. In previous chapters, he looked like the normal G1 Rodimus Prime design with a toy-accurate trailer (kinda like MP-9). But here, his design is slimmer, sleaker, and sharper, with more pronounced shoulders. Could this be our first glimpse at Kingdom's upcoming Commander class Rodimus Prime design?
EDIT: According to this TFW post, the reason Primus looks so different in that last panel of the final page is not because of his design hinting at the Kingdom toy for Rodimus, but simply because he (and no one else in that panel) was drawn specifically by Ban Magami instead of Hayato Sakamoto. So, false alarm on the toy-hinting.

I don't know who to feel more sorry for: the Quintesson, or the way Rung was used (it's even called out as Energon Enema)

Anyway, very nice to see Comperian and Abomenaticus in fiction, finally. Volcaticon (Volcanicus + Computron) does raise an interesting question: is Scattershot's combination ability superior to others of his kind? I mean, how many combined form names does he have?!

Sabrblade has also provided a description of what happens, including an interesting tidbit about why Primus differs from the design seen else where in the manga, as it turns out this one was designed by Ban Magami instead of the usual mangaka, Hayato Sakomoto.

The rumour all along has been that the Commander Class for Kingdom is a new Rodimus Prime (to go along with the Hot Rod in Studio Series 86) just don't expect it to look like the last panel as that was designed by some one else and isn't representative of what we'll get. Now having said that, will Takara Tomy redeco the Kingdom toy? Highly possible though it would be the first Commander Class to be redeco'ed as such.

Um, wait, what? Since when was Reflector not evil? Don't remember Reflector in the last chapter (and can't be bothered at the moment to double check), is it possible this is actually Scrapface and they're implying that he was an Autobot and this is his turned form?

I've heard that rumor before, and Commander class seems a little on the big side for a Rodimus Prime, unless he's going to come with a mega number of accessories. I wouldn't expected a new Rodimus to be larger then a Leader class, and only that if he has a removable trailer like the G1 Toy, otherwise a voyager.

Plus, even if they were, the Angolmois Energy would have just made Reflector even eviler.

So, over at TFWiki, some users have determined that the shadowy figure who took Lawbhammer from Halfshell back in the fourth God Neptune chapter was Starscream. Specifically the golden Starscream who's a member of Primus's group of gold warriors (using the CW Deluxe mold).
Frankly, I can't really see anything in that shadow's design that denotes any recognizable details, let along any detail resembling the CW Deluxe Starscream mold.

Your guess is as good as mine there, could just be a small mistake. Though every time I see that last part with Primus...his gun is smoking, who did he fire at?
