hopefully storytime later today.

I'm buying it now, but I hope no one story times it just for you.

My quick summery.

The decepticons make their move.
11 of the Primes are named, missing just the previously mentioned Megatronus, and the 13th. Aka the Arisen to Megatronus' fallen.
It's implied the Mistress of Flame believed Optimus to be the Arisen, and that's why Victorion left. Vicky and Op had a rather pointless fight.
Blackrock continues to Meme.
Not all that much actually happens, it felt more like an issue of Drift.

This issue felt like the 5 or so before Combiner Wars where nothing was happening. I really wish they'd set a team or two out on other planets/missions so instead of having a filler comic like this, we'd get a filler comic of Wheeljack, Blurr and Sunstreaker doing a Spotlight Nightbeat like mission.

The book's already juggling enough plotlines and planets, it doesn't need to introduce even more characters and settings not relevant to anything.

And IDW has already gone into other countries several times since the return to Earth, anon. Japan, China, and Australia were all in those issues before Combiner Wars you were complaining about.

What about this cover? No Getaway here either.

And the only ones I think I'm having a hard time recognizing are two of the rock faces: the one between the sparkeater and Pipes, and the one to the right of Grimlock.
>>
>>77556708
I wasn't hating on him though
>>
>>77561795
That's the cover I had in mind when addressing your concern. It's not a clear indication that Getaway won't survive whatever confrontation will happen - whether or not he actually will. Again, anticipating speculation, Roberts said that the cover for 50 is about the overall series. Which by the way, do we know if it ends after the finale/50-something issue? I didn't think it was, but a lot of people are treating it as if it is.

According to Milne, the Sparkeater-looking face is actually Pharma's, flanked by the halves of Ambulon's face.

Also, reminds me: which characters do you guys think have plot armour/won't die for whatever reason, at least for the season 2 finale?
>Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, Ratchet, Drift, Rung, Swerve, Chromedome, Rewind, Whirl, Moeblob, Nightbeat, Nautica, Brainstorm, Grimlock
These are the ones that come to mind - they're important/died before or have no reason/death flags to suddenly die.
>>
>>77562159
Of that list, I don't feel like Whirl, Nightbeat, and Brainstorm are necessarily safe, but that's just a strange feeling I'm having with nothing to really back it up.

I just didn't feel that there's presently any way to write meaningful deaths for them. There's still a lot more potential with Whirl, Nightbeat already died and is good exposition for more Doctor Who mysteries, and Brainstorm... Hm, not really sure.

I guess with Nightbeat, we had that moment with the Necrobot so who knows.

Game:
>think of your favourite MTMTE character and come up with the most meaningful way for them to die

Nightbeat has too much potential and snark to die, at least before solving one last, great mysery.

Can someone summerize things here, because I'm having a very difficult time following what's going on here.

-What is Optimus' deal

-What is Blackrock's deal

-What is Needlenose Soundwave and Galvatron's deal? What are they trying to accomplish

-What's the ongoing plot at this point?
>>
>>77563028
The general consensus is that it's Tyrest b/c of the drill holes, but beyond that, I don't see the resemblance.
>>
>>77563086
>What is Optimus' deal
I think he's having doubts about being a Prime, and he's feeling uncomfortable about being labeled a God by everyone.
>What is Blackrock's deal
Think he's going mad with power, and might be intending to use Cybertronian tech to turn it against the Cybertronians.
>What is Needlenose Soundwave and Galvatron's deal? What are they trying to accomplish
Needlenose wants revenge for the death of his lover, Horri-Bull (who was killed in a previous RiD issue by Bumblebee, but really it was Soundwave who activated it). And I think Soundwave really does want peace, but is going a very dark way of doing it, while Galvatron just wants power and war.
>What's the ongoing plot at this point?
Honestly? Your guesses are as good as mine. :l
>>
>>77563377
>I think he's having doubts about being a Prime

Then what's the deal with the tumblr combiner, what's the point behind her attacking him, what's she talking about
>>
>>77563086

> What is Optimus' deal
The Camiens worship him like a God for being a Prime. Optimus disagrees, but Caminus' spiritual leader pointed out that Cybertron itself seemed to elect Prime for his leadership role. He's having a bit of an identity crisis about who he is, what the title of Prime even means in post-war Cybertron, and his level of involvement in the new post-war government and council of worlds.

> What is Blackrock's deal
He's a fucking lunatic, and it seems as confusing to Spike as it is to everyone else. For a while it just seemed like he was a business man trying to make tons of money on Cybertronian tech advancements.

> What is Needlenose and Galvatron's deal

Galvatron wants the Decepticons to be conquerors again, and crush planets to take control. Needlenose has gathered up a bunch of Decepticons, and is bringing them through the Spacebridge as reinforcements for Galvatron, who is likely going to target Earth, if not first, then early on. Soundwave, on the other hand, genuinely wants to work with the governments of Earth and set up a commune where all Cybertronians are welcome and are equal beings. Galvatron seems to be planning on using Soundwave's dream as a base to operate his Decepticon forces.

> What's the ongoing plot at this point
The A-Plot is that Earth is working with the Decepticons, and that's fucked. The Autobots went there to recover Alpha Trion, and are now stuck dealing with whatever hijinks the Cons and Blackrock are up to.

B-Plot is back on Cybertron, Optimus Prime is trying to find answers to his post-war identity crisis, which is going to lead into the big event at Transformers #50.

>The book's already juggling enough plotlines and planets, it doesn't need to introduce even more characters and settings not relevant to anything.

Yeah it should keep running dry on the plots they have because of poor planning.

>And IDW has already gone into other countries several times since the return to Earth, anon.
You mean in between all the talking. I'm hoping for something plot related to actually happen instead of 'we're talking in Japan now. Now we're in China, talking. Did I mention I'm probably not a regular human? Maybe have Alpha Trion to tell a story about it!'. The last couple of issues had a lot better pacing and if you're going to go places, at least make it memorable (like the run in with the Predacons all the way back in the old ongoing named Transformers).

>>77563086
Optimus went through this entire 'I'm a relic of a war, I better leave Cybertron' thing as MTMTE and RiD started. He's since come back and since the Camiens treat him like a god, he's confused. Sometimes this is delivered in a practical manner, sometimes he just goes off and does random things with random characters.

Blackrock is probably going to end up being some sort of fabrication. Either Decepticon or another party, but there's been a lot of 'we don't have anything older than 3 years on him' and 'I don't know who I am, but I'm involved with Cybertronian tech and human evolution' talk going on. He's probably going to be hella important and then die 2 issues later as he'll lose his grip over Cybertronian tech or something.

The Decepticons are trying to make a comeback. They're unhappy with the Camien refugees and Galvatron is basically an ancient warlord, so he's probably out for war. This issue seems to imply they're going to strike at the Autobots on earth and try to re-ignite the war or something.

The ongoing plot? Trying to set up issue 50: optimus colonizes earth.

>-What is Optimus' deal
The Mistress of Flame wants Optimus Prime to conquer Earth, probably 'cause she read the solicits or something. So now Prime is going on a walkabout to find Victorion and try to make her seem important.

>-What is Blackrock's deal
He wants Spike to tell him if he's half Cybertronian or something, but without giving him any concrete info to go on, and Blackrock thinks it's hilarious. He also infected the world with a living Cybertronian computer program, which is apparently part of some vague evil plan or something.

>-What is Needlenose Soundwave and Galvatron's deal? What are they trying to accomplish
Needlenose and Soundwave want all the Decpticons to move to a commune on a space station orbiting Jupiter, which is apparently part of some vague evil plan or something. Meanwhile, Galvatron is sitting back, occasionally chatting with Arcee, but generally doing nothing significant, which is apparently part of some vague evil plan or something.

>-What's the ongoing plot at this point?
There are some great individual moments here and there, but a lot of the ongoing plot seems to be about setting up things that we're supposed to care about even though the reader doesn't really know what the stakes are yet, all while trying to give characters with new toys something to do.

She's supposed to be some sort of walking Prime-lexicon but also isn't sure that Optimus is Prime or something. Basically they're thinking there's only 13 primes and he can't be one of them or something. It all won't matter because in 3 issues Optimus is going to try to colonize Earth and it'll be super wowzers.

Optimus is currently going to be almost literally forged to be what Caminus wants him to be. He's aimless and the influence that the believers can have is getting to him.

Blackrock = ???

The Decepticons want to be free.

The plot is gud
>>
>>77563086
I'm thinking Blackrock's a leftover facsimile construct. Because they haven't been referenced for ages, when even the Mini-constructicon and Jimmy Pink have appeared. And because John Barber is writing it.
>>
>>77565610
Interesting idea, but I'm not sure how well that would mesh with Blackrock remembering being a child.
>>
>>77565856
Facsimiles have implanted memories, and until activated, have no idea that they're artificial.

They're also prone to malfunctioning, so occasionally need to be replaced with new ones. So if Blackrock is a facsimile, that could explain his, well, insanity.

>>77566146
I'm absolutely down to see this. I'll probably be disappointed if it's not true now.

>>77563086
Blackrock's heavily implied to have something to do with the "Onyx Triptych"; he can see "time, space and the souls within", which is what the Triptych Mask allowed its user to do in the Covenant of Primus.
Also, he's been seeing a "black angel" in visions, and Onyx Prime is a big winged motherfucker.
Also "Onyx", " Blackrock", yadda yadda.

Alpha Trion wasn't even on Earth, he was on the Ark or the moon and had a chat with Optimus about how he suddenly remembered that the Enigma of Combination kickstarted human evolution because Galvatron threw it off Cybertron upteembillion years ago.

The Decepticons want the space bridge in the Ark.

>>77563986
This actually seems like Robers has the series planned out until issue 50. Hopefully exRID picks up with 50 again because it's been a day and I'm still disappointed at exRID 47.

>>77564789
Fun fact: Optimus denies the divine aspects of being a Prime. That's where most of his confusion comes from, so that the battle between him and the Torchbearers is over like that just seems weird to me.

>>77565249
>The Decepticons want to be free.
And yet feel ruled by Autobots and Camiens. They've attacked Autobots. They're taking a space bridge. I really doubt all this is going to lead to 'yo Autobots, we're off, don't follow us, we don't want Cybertron/Earth anymore'.

>>77568761
In IDW it's mostly been throwaway references or stories about them.

>>77569605
I imagined him to be back by now, the original claim was 'MTMTE fell behind the others a bit' but even then it's been 7 months since the issue Ratchet left and 9 months since the last issue of Drift. Probably a tie in for 50 or beyond.

Last issue of Drift: Empire of Stone pretty much concluded with Ratchet saying 'So come with me back to the Lost Light. Not as an Autobot, but as a friend' and nothing we've seen since has alluded to them not returning.

Right, it's just been so long. Empire of Stone was shit and came out last year while Issue 40 only happened earlier this year.

I wonder what his personality will be like when he comes back under Robert's writing? Probably still bitter as shit with what happened, but only really chummy with Ratchet.

I can already see him going WTF at seeing Autobot Megatron and the Second Rewind.

a part of me kinda would prefer if they came back after the season finale arc ends just so it makes more of an impression when they come back.
>>
>>77573634
Of course, while EoS was released a while ago, Ratchet only left the lost light in issue 40.

Just like how First Aid left in issue 43 in July, while appearing in Combiner Wars 2 in April.

It seems like a long time, but for the Lost Light, Ratchet's not been gone long.
>>
>>77573805
I'd kind of like to see him back to back with Megatron against the DJD. While snarking at each other in a very restrained way.

Either way, I still want Megatron to give him a proper history lesson on the Decepticons. What with Drift claiming that the AHM-era Autobots were one step away from the original cons. He was obviously too strung out to pay attention to what they were originally like. He's probably never even read "Towards Peace"

>>
>>77573805

I think he'll probably get over his dark and brooding persona quickly on the Lost Light since he's got people to talk to there. Perhaps Rewind and Megatron will remind him that there's more out there than self-narration like in Empire of Stone, especially with Roberts writing him again.

If they do come back after the season finale (they have to, looking at the solicitations for everything up to 50) I hope there isn't much of a 'welcome home' episode and more of a 'glad you're here but shit's happening and we need your help' sort of thing.

>>77573963
something like this would be cool. Hopefully Roberts isn't inspired by recent events to write an apologetic issue about Grimlock right after 50 or something.

>>77574598
