Oh my god I though they were really dead Lin issue 14 I. So happy that they’re still alive

I'm pretty sure I called it after LL14 came out. Grimlock didn't dismember the Scavengers, Spinster did as part of a ruse to escape. Why else did the focus on him being a surgeon for a few panels? He dismembered them in a way that didn't harm them and could be easily fixed while the guards thought they were all dead and took Grimlock to Scorponok.
Honestly, I think I like the Scavengers story arc the best out of all of them.

I'm surprised the obvious fake out fooled anyone could of read the descriptions and know that they were not dead yet.

Had I made a bet on whether or not Abraham Dante would ever be acknowledged again, then I would have lost money this morning. Got a bit of a Masterforce vibe from that, not anything serious but just a touch and that's a neat concept.

I’ve really enjoyed these last two issues (the end to the Mutineers Trilogy was a bit of a wet fart though). I know it’s been thrown around a lot but these two really felt like MTMTE, to me at least. I will say I was a little worried that the Scavengers were just killed for shock value, especially after what happened to Mirage and the Protectobots. Good to know they’re still alive and ready to kick some ass. And it’s really cool to see Grimlock with his voice back.
Edit: And as someone who’s only read MTMTE/LL it’s interesting to some of the backstory with Grimlock and Scorponok play out. Hasn’t been too hard to follow either.

I felt the same, I was shocked that they actually brought up Dante again. But it's fantastic too, I appreciate all the callbacks

He's (Roberts) called back to anything that matters at this point, tbh. It was a Furman story that got hastily tied up so not a super deep well of backstory to worry about! They were rivals, their battle led to Grimlock being taken to Garrus 9 to spare the other Dinobots, Scorponok was also arrested. Ultra Magnus did the arresting. That's basically it!SureShot18 wrote:Edit: And as someone who’s only read MTMTE/LL it’s interesting to some of the backstory with Grimlock and Scorponok play out.

I believe they also butt heads in Monstrosity or Primacy, one of those series. There’s some references in LL14 to that history I believe

Before the war, Scorponok and Grimlock fought against each other many times in the gladiatorial pits. Then, before Grimlock joined the Autobots officially, Scorponok blew up a fuel refinery on top his head. Around 2007, Scorponok began to mind control the Dynobots into attacking Grimlock, before Magnus showed up and hauled them off to Garrus-9. During the Surge, Scorponok escaped the prison and grabbed Grimlock, who had been implanted with the Magnificence, a device which is omnipotent, and tortured him until he let go.
So Grimlock is rightfully pissed

I think I may switch to doing volumes instead at this point. Kinda annoying to have holes in my collection when it comes to the comics. I'll still order the covers I like but volumes are more durable and easier overall. Of course I'll still read my GF's copies to prevent myself from being spoiled between volumes.
