Synopsis
THE HUNT IS ON! Ever lost something and spent forever looking for it? Try visiting Troja Major, the lost property capital of the universe. Just bear in mind that it's better known by another name: the Howling Town. And the Autobots are about to find out why.

Story

I was reminded by other comics staff that we've had a number of voices already on reviews this far, for the new iteration of Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye, but mine was not the one that has appeared yet for Lost Light. It's probably time then, right? Back to the story?

Transformers News: Review for IDW Transformers: Lost Light #8
JRo I swear..


One of the issues I've had with the series, much like its predecessor, is the use of the medium of comics as a serialised narrative - they read really well as a collected trade (read volume 1 in one sitting, believe me), but sometimes take odd steps as single issues. This book, however, does not do that, and in fact plays the field extremely well as a morsel of a wider story yet to happen, and previous ones being closed or at least addressed.

The Quest! It is Back!


As we know, James Roberts takes his time on the series to get to know the characters, and characters here are a very important part of the plot: what we discover about Nautica and Velocity, their interactions prior to the Lost Light, wouldn't have made sense while Megatron was still in the picture - but what he does well here is to not sacrifice plot for character development, at all.

Casual Character Trivia


And in terms of highlights, this book has fallen into the category of what Transformers comics can do now, from a socio-political perspective, in terms of identity, representation, and delving further into human issues while using sad gay (can we finally change this to queer?) robots in space. And yes, I'm talking about Anode and Lug, and what we learn about both of them.


Art

After a full arc and a breather, we see a different artist taking charge of a very important issue, plot wise among the rest, and Priscilla Tramontano has some excellent leads in terms of visual continuity with Lawrence's art, while still keeping very much to her own style and approach to the characters.

including Krombopolous Michael, from Rick and Morty


With a change from the usual, Joana Lafuente joins Tramontano on colours, perhaps also aiding in the continuity, but also providing an extremely vibrant and diverse cast of organic presences on Troja Major, taking the best pages out of Lucas' books and making the marketplace as cantina-esque (but well lit) as she can.

Also, sir, are you a Dire Wraith?


In a universe where several characters are identifiable by their speech patters, and those speech patterns are to be made visible, a letterer like Tom B. Long makes sure that we can glean more from the page that you might read at first glance, while also enjoying the sounds of the new setting! Meanwhile, the cover for this review's thumbnail is the variant art by Alex Milne and Josh Perez, very much about the grief aspect of it all, but also more pertaining to the plot of the issue than you might think... All other covers can be found in our database entry right here, including Roche/Burcham, Tom Whalen, and the main Lawrence/Lafuente

Thoughts
Spoilerish ahead

What do you know? We're back looking for the Knights of Cybertron! For real! As I said above, the overarching plot is not sidelined for the characters or subplots, but rather the two work well together in the issue, and we get to find out more about The Quest that started all those 50+ issues ago under another title altogether - but what we find may not be what we were looking for, especially if it was answers.

:smile:


That said, my allusions towards the scene featuring Anode and Lug warrants a couple extra words here, while still wanting to leave it to readers to appreciate: it has some nice callbacks to the last Optimus Prime issue, and Sideswipe's understanding of the new reality; it has a well-developed approach to the issue at hand, sign of good research on the team's behalf; it helps sediment

I love the new/old character that Lug and Anode meet! Even if Anode still does rub me the wrong way. And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't this issue feature more fembots than male 'bots? At least until the last few pages?

I really wish I could say I was surprised by the ending but I'm so fed up with fake deaths and resurrections it's just become the norm with roberts anymore. Kill a character and a year or two down the road and they're back. Sometimes it's the very next issue. It's just another tiresome thing.

It's revealed that Nautica is looking for a way to resurrect Skids at the very end. If that does indeed happen, I'm gonna be very disappointed. Wolfman has a point, Roberts (or maybe just comics in general) have a habit of bringing back 'dead' characters. However, if Skids is brought back, I think it'll make his death and sacrifice worthless.

Oh, yeah that would be cliche and make one of the main events from an only okay arc of the series pointless.

Here's my prediction: Skids will be brought back, but it will be some kind of monkey's paw deal, where skids will be altered in some way, evil, brain dead, etc. Then, the crew will deal with that for a while before turning him back to normal in a tear filled "we missed you" scene. Nautica will probably be hugging him.

For me it's a 50/50

Someone will show up and tell nautica she needs to accept and let go andcome to race with skids death

Or

Skids will be resurrected because he is the only real connection to "Cyberutopia" because he saw it and there's still something there. I said a year ago when he died that's gonna affect something with taking him out of the picture.

If you're losing interest in MTMTE/LL because you're not thrilled with where it's going this issue won't change your mind. That my opinion at least.

The first couple pages of Velocity and Nautica were cute but did absolutely nothing and told us nothing about them that we didn't already know while Anode and Lugs origins are given word bubbles.

It's just talking heads. I gave up after I saw word bubble after word bubble after word bubble and just skimmed the issue and waited for the wiki to summarize it which has always been one of my major criticisms about Roberts. He wants to tell you instead of showing you.

I was also sort of let down by the issue. I don't know anymore, it's like for every good thing, there is an inexcusable bad thing.

I mean, come on! Skids death was final, meant to be so, and was so meaningful. Similar thing with Ravage and Trailcutter. and how we are trying to resurrect him? If he does come back, that is scrap and it basically ruins Dying of the Light. If he is nearly brought back but somehow goes back to the afterspark,
or if Nautica needs to die for him to come back, ok I can give a little there.

Now I do like where we are going with the warworlds, the things from issues 7 and 46, we are getting somewhere. And Flame is back, nice

Those weren't war worlds they're D-class world sweepers but yeah having Flame show up raises some questions and possibly answers some. He was last seen in on a flashback on trial in LSOTW which means he was there when the decepticons laid siege to it and who else was there? Grimlock. Where was Grimlock found? on a Symbol ship. And what have this mysterious faction been flying around in? symbol ships. That last page was the only page I felt was interesting.

Man, after a lot of issues that felt so close to being what I look for in MTMTELL, this really hit the spot. Mysteries, answers, character moments- all around marvelous.

Anode and Lug's reveal was very well handled- according to Robert's twitter he reached out to those with more experience than him to figure out how best to approach it, and the dedication & research show. Plus, it had been a personal theory/hope of mine for ages so I'm very pleased :D

The whole thing with Skids, Nautica, and the Resus Cradle I feel could either play out very well or very poorly- I have enough faith in Roberts to think the former. I think ricemazter might be on the money with the monkey's paw comparison, it would be very MTMTE for this to turn into a be-careful-what-you-wish-for situation. I don't think it will end that well though- I'm imagining either the cost of bringing him back will be too great, or if we go full horror he could come back as a corpse they have to kill again. Brutal. Either way, I doubt he'll be returning to the cast. Also damn Nautica, carrying around a dude's brain in your eye socket is freaking hardcore.

Most interesting to a mythos-theorising nerd like me though is the Knights' symbols. It's something I'd thought possible for a while, but the reveal of those clearly shows imo that the Knights follow the Guiding Hand, each clan a different member. The bottom right is unmistakably Mortilus' head. The question remains then- who/what exactly does the Gear symbol we've seen a lot represent, and what does that imply about this Grand Architect who's name keeps cropping up?

So the crew is long gone from Necroworld, how have they not managed to contact Cybertron by this point? It's good to see the quest actually someaby back on track, it's about time after nearly a whole year.

I've got to say, I'm not a fan of the whole trans/queer robot thing that Roberts and others have been introducing lately. We have aliens whose lifespans are seemingly infinite (at least in the IDWverse) expressing a lot of overly human feelings and angst. A race with no concept of gender, a race without the need for gender or sexual identity is what we've known Cybertronian to be all these years. I was fine with

Chromedome and Rewind; a huge fan actually. They presented a couple of genderless alien beings in love without making the whole affair seem overly human. But with recent happenings in TAAO and now LL, it feels like the writers are trying to present a very human problem in a way that just doesn't make sense. The endless same "sex" relationships and suddenly transsexual robots really feels like a PC stunt at best, personal social justice warrior-ing at worst.

Transformers have had a concept of gender ever since the first Marvel issue referred to Optimus Prime as a 'he'. If they have enough of a concept to describe each other with such pronouns, it's really not that much of a stretch to believe some would end up preferring different pronouns later in their lives.

If I had to guess, the bots with the cog symbol follow Adaptus. From what we've seen with the half-form protoforms and other interesting things inside the WorldSweepers, this sect of the Knights is trying to change Cybertronian physiology on a cellular level. Maybe each "chapter" of the Knights has twisted the views/beliefs of the Guiding Hand member they follow/worship. Just speculation though.

"sigh" Why can't we just stay simple with there being only two genders and media not sucking up to the popular trends of the year damn it Roberts.

I might be bias though since besides being in a Christian family I'm personally very much against the concept of people deciding what gender they are and ignoring science and biology like their god like I don't care if you think your an attack Helicopter or an alien your born either a boy or a girl that's the way it's always been and how God intended it to be so why are we only now doing this stuff for the last couple years?

Sorry if I'm getting political or being self centered I don't like being that but this subject is just wrong and unnatural to me and in my opinion those people need help and not encouragement.

Only real reason for that besides toys and humanizing them is that there isn't really any terms when it comes to genderless or other gendered people like there is for people being referred as him and her among other terms.

Hard to write a character like that without calling them it and making them seam less alive.

Where in the Transformers franchise has it ever been specified what gender a character is? The closest to gender identification any of them ever came was when they were referred to as "he" or "she" and nothing else.

I would please advise you to not bring out the "ignoring science and biology card" until you actually understand said science and biology, since they do state that there are more than two genders and that being transgender is a real thing. An extremely simplified biological model you were taught in fourth grade is not a valid source when discussing this sort of thing.

I would very much prefer to keep politics out of this completely and say that if you find Trans people icky, either grow up or read something else and leave the subject at that, but I find it very irksome when someone pulls the "science and biology" card when they clearly demonstrate they don't understand it at all.

Now please, if we could get the conversation back to the comic itself without going into a quote-on-quote debate about a much more serious issue, that would be quite lovely.

I mean representation is great, but why do they need his kind of representation in the form of alien robots? The things don't go together, and its a bit awkward. I feel like this whole matter is becoming like the declining sale in Marvel comics that arose because of the numerous political issues similar to this that were appearing in strips.

Things like these don't mix sometimes.

Thank you. At least someone listened. Daniel Adkins, Stormshot, each of you get a warning. And Kurona, I agree that it's hard to not talk about this subject considering what happened in the comic, but these discussions always veer off the path of civility and derail the thread, so it's best to get ahead of it, based on experience. :D I would like to have a discussion regarding the subject, but it has to be in its own thread.

This bit here is what's been turning me off with Lost Light/MTMTE for quite a while. I realise that it's being read by squishy humans, so we have to understand them to an extent, but I prefer my giant alien robots that transform into cars to be a bit more alien and robotic, and bit less forlorn people in robot suits who occasionally have discos.

Also if they could transform once in a while, that'd be nice ;-)

I'd be happy if current transformers titles could keep the feelings and angst related to the issues affecting the robot society. Like, I don't think any of the current transformers titles have really dealt with post war reconciliation between Autobots and Decepticons in any meaningful way. I mean, we sort of got that with RID, but from my recollection the Decepticons were pretty Hell bent on starting another war throughout most of it. I want to say that TAAO dealt with it a bit, but for the life of me I can't remember anything beyond the Combaticons being antagonists.

So far, the only stories I can think of that really cared about the open wounds on both sides and the emotional aftermath of the war was the one shot with Sandstorm and the couple Scavengers stories. Maybe some lip service here and there. I still really like the line Ratchet has in MTMTE about peace being an anti-climax.

I like Nautica and a lot of the other crewmembers, but I can't really bring myself to care about her feelings of alienation on Caminus because it doesn't have anything to do with the issues that have been set up in the past decade. I have similar qualms with other characters.

Also, I'm tired of titles that are more or less starring Autobots who are the defacto protagonists. You'd think we could get a series that headlines Decepticons for once, one that deals with the fact that everything they fought for was ultimately pointless.

Like, I don't think any of the current transformers titles have really dealt with post war reconciliation between Autobots and Decepticons in any meaningful way. I mean, we sort of got that with RID, but from my recollection the Decepticons were pretty Hell bent on starting another war throughout most of it. I want to say that TAAO dealt with it a bit, but for the life of me I can't remember anything beyond the Combaticons being antagonists.

So far, the only stories I can think of that really cared about the open wounds on both sides and the emotional aftermath of the war was the one shot with Sandstorm and the couple Scavengers stories. Maybe some lip service here and there. I still really like the line Ratchet has in MTMTE about peace being an anti-climax.

You've nailed it, IMO.

I like Lost Light, but less so than most of MTMTE because of the reasons largely stated above. The series always basically a sitcom, but it was always set very firmly within the Transformers universe and was clearly a Transformers story but with more characterisation and personal twists than we're used to (which was fantastic).

The focus now seems to be edging more towards the personal dramas and relationships, and less so on the broader Trasnsformers stuff. It's still good, but as a Transformers fan, the shift in tone dilutes the appeal for me.

I'd love to see some more focus on how Decepticons and Autobots are actually coexisting. For all the progressive strides MTMTE is making, it's odd that it still follows the basic 'all Autobots good, all Decepticons bad' decree (with a very small handful of exceptions like Pharma and Megatron...and I guess the Scavengers but they're still burning Autobots alive when they get the chance aren't they?).

Sorry for the long quote, but so much to THIS to this sentiment. The post Costa comics began with a fascinating premise: 'peace' and reconciliation. It's strange how that's the plot that has been repeatedly sidelined and marginalized, in favor of new characters who, can I be blunt? Are really almost impossible to differentiate. I find it hard to feel any risk or jeopardy for these characters, since so many characters have fake died that when one really does die, my response is more like...wow, wtf went on there, than really feeling any emotional impact.

And I'll be honest: I write fanfic, and I...kind of don't like how fanficcy all the TF titles have gotten? I suppose I should celebrate the mainstreaming of shipping and slash and stuff, but...I can't. It feels weird. Like your favorite special thing has now become pop music.

And I don't want to reopen a can of worms, but, uh, some of us DO gender theory in our day jobs, and you make us cringe when you toss around your tumblr version of gender. If nothing else, I am tired of all the retconning of gender. I honestly don't understand why robots had to have binary gender AT ALL. It's a ludicrous proposition and an absolute failure of creativity.

CC, the crankiest cat.

If they have enough of a concept to describe each other with such pronouns, it's really not that much of a stretch to believe some would end up preferring different pronouns later in their lives.


Nice try, but, omg, nope.

See, when TFs first came out, I was alive, and I can tell you from personal experience we were taught in school the 'default male' pronoun. As in, I was taught that this would be a correct sentence in American English: "Each student will hand in HIS paper." His. Regardless of the actual gender of any or all of the students. Many Romance languages have a similar aspect--in French, if you have 50 women and 1 man, you refer to the group as "Ils"--the masculine pronoun, and not "Elles."

So, in 1984, the 'idek' gender default was 'he'. That does not imply the invocation of binary gender.
Additionally, if you don't want to get all meta, let's get inworld--despite what JRo seems to believe, giant alien robots...don't speak English. That means that anything (a joke, a pronoun, etc) can be simply a 'translation' from Cybertronian to the language of the comics readers. An approximation could easily simply refer to a character as 'he'.

Additionally, gender only exists when sex and sentience coexist. Your cat doesn't have a gender, it has a sex. It has no 'sentience'. Giant alien robots, outside the fun fun smutty world of fanfic, do not have sex and therefore, you know, can't have gender.

Don't care about the characters. Don't care about all the relationship stuff, very much over it.

It's what it's always done. I don't even need to bring up literary greats like Shakespeare and Orwell because it's been with comics since the beginning. A huge proportion of the first Marvel and DC comics were made as a response to the rising threat of WWII, while X-Men - one of whose issues has the proud owner of being the #1 best-selling comic of all time - is an allegory to oppressed groups in society.

Yeah, but it wasn't the only thing in the story. Those comics still told kick ass action and adventure, with the commentary on the side. Lost Light feels like a platform for commentary, with a tiny bit of action on the side.

I loved MTMTE, but so far, LL is a completely different book, with vaugly similar characters. It sucks. :(

We must be reading different modern day comics then. Because I don't see any of it in Batman, Flash, or a lot of DC titles (Superman may be an exception), and setting Marvels current "Secret Empire" series, a number of their titles are socio-political free.

But hey, you like them, that's fine. I don't.

I think it's more a point of how every work of fiction is in some way political, not necessarily sociopolitical, but political in that it makes a point about something whether philosophical or moral or whatever. Superman stands for truth, justice, and the American way, which makes everything he does a political statement practically by default. If an author were to come along and say he didn't, that would also be political.

Vigilante characters is also a political statement, not to mention what audience members bring in with their own interpretations. For instance, and not making a judgement call on whether this is a good thing or not, I've always seen Batman as a conservative superhero. I won't explain why, that's way off topic and will probably get me banned.

Some books are much more on the nose than others. For a while now, Roberts' transformers have been about oppression, institutional or otherwise. Remember when the Scavengers learned to accept mental illness after freeing robotic torture slaves while Fortress Maxemus, now a cop, learned that this one group associated with criminality wasn't as bad as he thought?

In addition to above message, which is actually an excellent point and basically what I wanted to say, there's also this:

Everything can be read as political, or making some sort of statement. Not everything has to be read through that lens.

And my old favourite:

No Piece of Media is Created in a Vacuum. Writers and artists exist in our world, and they're bound to include references or opinions (even involuntary) on the geo-socio-political situation they inhabit. That has always been the case, and still is. [And in fact, choosing to NOT say anything about the world we inhabit is a political statement in itself. A topic for another thread.]

In terms of Lost Light, this issue has actually brought me back to enjoying the series, which the previous arc had not done as much until the ending in issue #6 (and still, I have many thinky thoughts about that whole thing). I am very curious to see where it leads.

That's my main issue, above all else. All those socio-political arguments aside, the series changed so abruptly in quality and theme that many readers like you and I are left with whiplash. The premise of MTMTE was a bunch of emotionally broken, PTSD-having, war torn bots on an epic quest, and now half of the cast can't even relate to the war. This last issue really shows this off for me, there was not one original Lost Lighter in the main cast. Not that I don't love the fembots (maybe save for Anode), but the quest and whole essence of what MTMTE was about is lost on them it seems.

Collective groans when the whole Skid's-brain-in-eye thing happened. Can we and the Rodimus crew not legitimately feel the weight of loss for once?

It seems to me that Hot Rod certainly can't, his character flaws won't allow it. Everything is all about him, including grief. He has to change his paint scheme and make a public declaration about his pain so that everyone can see how sad he is about Skids' death, never mind the actual loss experienced or how his crew feels. No, currently it's all about vengeance against Getaway, not contacting Cybertron, not explaining to anybody outside the crew what's going on, just stopping Getaway from finishing the quest before him. I don't see why Drift, a supposedly deeply spiritual bot, puts up with him nor why Ultra Magnus hasn't initiated procedure to remove him from command. As a leader, he hasn't addressed the possible drug problem among his crew and it's doubtful he's even aware of it along with a plethora of other issues going on around him.

He's slimy and manipulative to boot. He basically tricks Ultra Magnus into hating Megatron using reverse psychology instead of allowing him to come to his own conclusions. Not to mention how he constantly undermines his own crew, outright ignoring the concerns of his second in command or otherwise fooling him into dropping the issue, putting swerve (who has his own emotional baggage) down, and ignoring the legitimate ethical concerns of defiling a corpse, again in order to get to Getaway faster.

Sorry that I'm using your post as an excuse to rant. I just hate Hot Rod so much, and am annoyed that he's still in charge and that everyone currently under him just accepts that.

You made a really great point with the whole Megatron ordeal. Magnus was having some legitimate thoughtful ideas about Megatron at the very end of his story, the way Rodimus made him snap was jolting. I expect when Rodimus and Co do finally make it back it won't be as cut and dry as "good guy Rodimus vs scumbag Getaway."

Rodimus' own attitude towards Megatron makes it seem like he would agree with Getaway, like he would've totally had Megatron thrown off when Getaway and Atomizer did the memory-erasing interviews.

I'm curious about this drug problem you mentioned, who's been showing signs of that?

I've cut most of your Rodimus rant (rantimus?) though I don't necessarily disagree with the fundamental point you were making, but mainly I wanted to hone in on this.
I'm firmly in the Getaway hate brigade- even if did agree with his motive, his actions to get there were inexcusable, but rodders is not handling this properly at All. I'm pretty sure that the rest of the universe still thinks they're all dead- there's been no follow-up to the funeral video and anyone who even had time to check would have found a disappeared necroworld. I honestly hope rods return to the LL doesn't go swimmingly and he maybe learns to spot when his emotions are getting the better of him and consult with people on decisions. Getaway is nothing short of vile, but Rodimus is kind of a (well-meaning) tool tbh

Fair enough, but all that being said, those books more often than not have it as an underlying current, it's there, but it's not in your face, you can enjoy the main focus of the story, unlike what these TF books have become.

Honestly, the quality of this book has been declining since Season 2 because James is clearly running out of steam. The thing is not a lot of people actually noticed until now because it was still MTMTE. But because of the "break" (Titans Return/Revolution), the relaunch, and the new artist, everybody lost their rose-tinted MTMTE glasses.

Well to me it use to be a light hearted book, it always gave me chuckles.

Now the chuckles are gone and replaced with eye rolling as another creators uses their piece of media puts their socio-political opinions on display.
