Not that a correct prediction deserves anything at this point with all the threads coalescing, just enjoying this one moment of correctitude after years of being totally wrong

Also, Cerebros looks like a total boss.

Been waiting for them to show up. Now it feels like the end

Btw was that you on the new moonbase retro review this week

Yep! Was invited on and gladly accepted, was a very fun recording to do. Actually liking most of AHM helped. I forgot to tell my Andy Schmidt story, will have to do that on a Twincast sometime (it only works in audio, if typed out it's just not very fun!)

For others reading these posts that don't know what we're talking about: https://moonbase2.libsyn.com/moonbase-2 ... ive-part-2

lm listening to it right it right now and I’m glad you got to and it was great to actually hear your opinions and thoughts by voice. I hate forums, you just can’t get what some people are saying times or how they feel so it was a pleasure to hear ya!

I’ve been begging these guys to be on. I talk to them sometimes and been listening to the moonbase for almost 10 years

Oh MY DEAR GOLLY GOD They are gonna conk "Primus" on the back of the head and induce Transformation straight out of the MTMTE comic with a drunk Ultra Magnus... Barber has this story more interconnected than the MCU and I love it, but God is that man a scary master manipulator

I wonder what they'll do if they really can't overload Cybertron through the Hot Spots?

More importantly, what if Rung can't make any more matrices, and that's why he looks concerned at the final panel there on 2?

Also, what does he mean speaking to Domey and Rewind?

Back at the beginning, Rewind an Chromedome had some issues. Rewind1 didn't like Chromedome doing Memnosurguery. DOme promised to stop, but then did it again on Overlord and I think when he did it to Prowl that was after the promise. Meanwhile, Rewind was buying War Snuff films trying to find Dominus Ambus in case a Con recorded him dieing, because even though he was with Chrome, he still had a candle. Then the Lost Light takes off, splices itself Quantumly and duplicates everyone The first Rewind dies when Overlord escapes being Keelhauled on the Lost Light (long story). The second Rewind is forced to watch the DJD kill the Quantim clone of the Lost Light Crew. Both re carrying guilt for surving the clone of the other's.

Then, at the end, we see on Medieri, Chromedome is with A Rewind and A Rewind is with DOminus Ambus, but 1 of the Rewinds and DOminus is an illusion, which raises the question of which of his loves did Rewind go with?

ScottyP, Va'al, did I miss anything important in that summary?

By the way, I just noticed that in Rung's office he has models... of Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod, but done up in the same style as his ship models. WHat does that mean whrn God has a toy model of YOU?

That’s not hot rod and Magnus. Their just more ships. Rung said he only makes ships he served on.

Then some Writer slipped a Mickey, because the last panel through the ships window there is clearly a Spaaaaace semi with Feet for trailer doors and the thing in front has HR's Spoiler and rear thruster

That was excellent! Not sure I could have ever been that succinct yet thorough with it

He was asked to make 12 matrixes last issue. Where do you think all that energy would have to come from but from Rung himself?

To comment he's more than likely going to be way past exhausted will probably be a major understatement.

You misunderstand, what if it was something he could only do once? Or something where he can only make one at a time and the time between is centuries. That was the question related there

Good point. Epistemus was under the impression Rung was more than able to at least make 3. Of course one has to wonder how much of the suggestion was from him. Or was it from the link he shared from the Omega Guardians who saw him as a means to an end anyway.

There's also the tidbit if even if Rung made the 3...what shape he would be in afterwards. Especially since prior we only know of the one he originally made. But not on the affects it would personally have on him afterwards. I assume his regenerative abilities play a part.

Particularly with what happened in Ongoing when Optimus unleashed the Matrix within Vector Sigma & how that affected Cybertron.

Speaking of "as a means to an end", those assembled on the LL were -assuming- quite a bit of Rung before the matrixes were even brought up. Apparently they were still in the throes of "First Cybertronian = Newly_Discovered_Deity_Mode" syndrome when the truth was more "First Cybertronian = Cybertronian _with_Unique_Abilities".

Either way seems seems to be alot to place on Rung's shoulders.
(Yes, I'm sentimental about make-believe robotic characters. So sue me. )

Guess we find out when the issue is released in a day or so.

We're nearing the end of this type of post, but for one more month at least, we have the full preview of this week's IDW Publishing Transformers: Lost Light issue - issue 24 in 25 - and there are some minor spoilers for the book and the resolution of what we're about to see as it's fully released.

Check it out below, mirrored courtesy of Comics Crusaders, as Brendan Cahill returns once more on main art, and Nick Roche / Josh Burcham start the chestbursting, with feels, from the very first cover page.

Only two issues left! Closing a story six years in the making! Don’t miss the B cover by beloved Transformers artist Geoff Senior!

This is just speculation but I have a feeling the Lost Light crew is going to reunite with the main OP cast. They’ll take control of the transforming Cybertron and use it to beat Unicron and act as a brand new Cybertron.

Just speculation of course ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I doubt the can end the IDW run without some sort of reunion of characters.
