I only have 3H #1, and Fun #4, #5, #15, #23 and #31 in full.
Also in general any better quality scans of stuff already in the pastebin would be appreciated, the Marvel G2 stuff is amazingly LQ
>>82285277
Not really.
>>82284568
she sounds like an English version of Gina Torres's Prime Airachnid.
she sounds too different from how I imagined she'd sound, I imagined a way younger voice.
>>82286567
Her whole character seems to be experienced secret agent special ops though. A younger voice wouldn't fit.
>>82284548
She cute
Remember when Transformers was good?
>>82287440
Was it ever?
>>82287440
It's been RUINED FOREVER SINCE 1984.
>>82287440
Aye, seems like just yesterday we had pic related's slow burn -ations.
>Boring personalityless strong womyn
Lame. Why does this always happen? When will writers realize female characters can just be normal people?
>>82287440
From what I remember, that Powermaster toy was really chunky and could take a few knocks.
>>82288051
When people start realizing female characters are allowed to use more than one adjectives and don't necessarily have to be role models all the damn time.
I picked up a RiD Grimlock Kreon so I don't kill myself
From the episodes I've seen, he's kinda a dopey brute who's doing his best. How's his characterization in RiD? Is itgood?
>>82288204
He's a dumbass but he's one with a heart of gold.
He's actually my favourite Bot in the show.
>>82288183
If that wasn't enough, he also got extra boots, gauntlets, wings and a chestplate.
God Ginrai is cool though, his silver chestplate makes him distinct enough from a literal Optimus body double.
>mfw the body swap episode
Whoever did Doc's impersonation, that was amazing.
>>82287587
>pic related
not pudgy enough
>>82286567
Gina Torres did nothing wrong. Only the writing staff made her character a weakling.
Posting some nice panels from the storytimes
>>82284548
Jesus fuck her transformation is cheating to crazy levels. Like half her vehicle mode disappears in the process.
>>82289253
Reminds me of the fourth Bayformers movie's Autobot designs.
>>82289367
The hood chest being only part of the hood is similar to Dorifuto's.
>>82289386
>not editing out text

So will he get Verity as his head?
>>82289386
Literally who are these
>>82289403
>>82289413
I'm amazed there was actual Transforming in this issue.
>>82289705
Depends on if there is even anything to salvage. Might be still having a spark but no ability to interface with universe and take in stimuli.
>>82288247
i mean not much in the way of "character" in that show maybe a few of the decepticons but... we aint gonna get a focus on them.... ever
>>82289765
Rodimus and Drift?
>>82290001
It's Megatron on the scooter taken from the Necrobots place.
>>82287440
Read TF vs. Gi Joe if you're pining for the good ol' days. It's fantastic.
>>82290500
I second this, fun times : )
>>82290536
It is fake retroism. Uses style influenced by things older than when Transformers was new, has references and characters from later series, and writing method is also unalike what it was.
I'm really surprised Ana hasn't hit menopause yet,
I guess she's younger than she looks
>>82290772
Eh?
>>82288051
Shes a freakin 007 secret agent robot tho that's cool as fuck. Boulder on the other hand is literally just rhinox 3.0 Im sick of all the big green muscular robots being turned into rhinox change the color or body at least
>>82291037
Boulder isn't a medic or have chainguns
>>82288995
I'm not dissing Gina, I thought she was fine as Airachnid performance wise.
character does suck though.
>>82291037
Boulder is nothing like Rhinox, not a badass engineer/medic and good friend. He's more like Animated Bulkhead than Prime Bulkhead ever was.
>>82289443
This is one of those things that tells me Megatron isn't so different.
Someone tried to kill him, and he's not pissed off that they tried, he's pissed off that they couldn't do it.
And to be honest, his whole speech to Tarn reminded me of his talk with Optimus. He's very good at pissing people off when he wants to.
>>82288247
>>82289887
That sounds pretty neat, maybe I'll watch some of the more Grimlock-centric episodes.
>tfw it's a Grimlock episode
>>82290918
what women get past the age of childbearing
>>82291263
Can you prove that the child was in her womb?
>>82291229
Particularly Grimlocky episodes that I recall:
The Pilot
Trust Exercises
True Colours
Deep Trouble
The Champ
Similarly Different
And from season 2:
Metal Meltdown
Brainpower
Impounded
>>82291228
Was he trying to piss off Tarn, though, or is he just good at it naturally?
Also, could his line of being angry from being nearly killed being less about the attempt and more about the failure reflect back to Starscream, who has made no secret he wanted leadership, but sucked at it in the past?
>>82291228
>>82291777
Also, could his line of being angry from being nearly killed being less about the attempt and more about the failure reflect back to Starscream, who has made no secret he wanted leadership, but sucked at it in the past?
Had the same thought.
Though isn't Starscream always the first name you think of when the words 'ambition' and failure' are featured in the same sentence?
>>82289781
One no see this everyday in a Transformers comic
>>82291777
It would make sense if it's the same problem as Starscream. Heck, it'd be hilarious if Megatron's response to Getaway when they get back to the Lost Light was a "Well done." (Which would really piss off Getaway, so everyone wins!)
As for whether his master baiting of Tarn was intentional, well, it's hard to tell. It wouldn't surprise me if it was, since he's had experience needling people. Optimus, Starscream, why not Tarn?
I mean, one way I could see it working is he knows Tarn's teamed up with Deathsaurus. He knows about Tarn's obsessions, he knows about Deathsaurus' mercies. If he can make Deathsaurus realise that Tarn is a ticking time bomb, that working with him puts his crew in danger... I could see them turning on the DJD.
All without firing a shot, or throwing a punch.
>>82292274
>Heck, it'd be hilarious if Megatron's response to Getaway when they get back to the Lost Light was a "Well done." (Which would really piss off Getaway, so everyone wins!)
I'd love that to happen.
If I ever meet James Roberts at a TFCon, assuming he's going this year I'm so suggesting that to him.
>>82291385
He gets a lot of the fun ones.
The Dinocrane is amazing in every way. lol
>>82292274
>>82292596
What would Getaway be pissed off about, though?
That his plan to remove Megatron and co. has failed, or that Megatron's fine with it almost working?
>>82288204
He's the greatest, he's a bit of a go-getter so sometimes he headbutts into trouble, but it's never done out of bad ill or arrogance, he just genuinely likes to brawl AND to help, and he's actualy gotten better! He studied some police academy paper and now they even let him help with technical repair (and when it got messed up it wasn't HIS fault! Just Strongarm not explaining she meant his left not her left.)
>>82293624
Both. He failed, and what's more the only one who's not pissed by it is the one he most wanted to get rid of anyway.
>>82291229

Why the fuck does anyone like his writing? Is this literally a meme? He's shit tier at best and needs an editor to watch him like a hawk so he doesn't fuck everything up.
>>82289196
>>82294075
His early stuff is ok, it was only later in his career that he went off the rails.
>>82294075
Because he writes engaging, interesting stories and contributed much to Transformers' mythos.
>>82292596
>If I ever meet James Roberts at a TFCon, assuming he's going this year I'm so suggesting that to him.
He would never be able to use it then.
>>82294519
oh fuck that's right.
goddammit, we're just going to hope he comes up with it on his own.
>>82294519
>>82295204
Why wouldn't he be able to use it? And do you really think you'd be the first person to ever suggest it?
>>82294154
I wonder if this was intentional?
>>82296667
Probably not. Then again, some of the artists and writers do come here occasionally, don't they?
>>82294075
Because the great worldbuilding and characterization and good action scenes
He shots on barber and scott and is roberts senpai
>>82291777
>yfw the reason megs put up with starscream, shockwave, overlord and skorponoks bs is cause he has a subconcious death wish

TFCON
What should I get the Bumbleman to sign?
>>82298132
If you wanna be awesome and help him out, he sells his book and prints at his table and he'll sign those and it also helps him make a little money (guests like that aren't usually paid much). Otherwise take along the G1 series to be signed?
>>82298245
>was not chosen for Spike due to concerns that the characters would sound too similar if he was talking to himself all the time
Heh
His book looks pretty neat, might have to opt for that then, since I don't own anything Bumblebee related. Do you know how much his books/prints go for?
>tfw James Roberts' scripts were $20
>socialist online, capitalist at heart
REEEEEE
>>82296755
Just one as far as I know.The best one.
>>82298492
You mean Pat Lee, the Transman?
>>82298443
I don't remember for sure but I think the prints ranged from $10-$20 and the book was $20.
>>82298132
MP or Classics/RTS Bumblebee.
if not how about Combiner Wars Hot Spot. He did voice him at one point. Skids too but only once.
>>82298492
>>82298609
He means Josh.
>>82296635
Because writers can't use fan ideas due to legal reasons, you dummy. Roberts isn't going to risk that for this shit. If a lot of people suggest it to Roberts, that'd make it even worse.
>>82299282
>And so here I was, brainstorming with (friend) and we came up with this idea ourselves
And then no one gave a fuck. It's a common fucking idea.
She frankly seemed one of the more overpowered. Sure she wasn't the most physically imposing but she was fast, stealthy, capable of flight, capable of borrowing (she had incredible capacity for ambush and escape). She had webbing that could lock down most bots, including the "heavy" fighters like Breakdown and Dreadwing. She was a superior lonewolf to Starscream even before we discovered she could mindcontrol insecticons. And I'd count them as part of her strength given it was a direct mental control as far as we saw. They had no will of their own, only hers. She came close to slagging Megatron using one of her minions and wasn't above cheating by clogging his cannon with her webbing.
She was defeated but then so was every other Decepticon. Repeatedly.
>>82286526
An hour and forty minutes after the last comment you bump the thread to complain about these threads. Getting mixed signals from certain anons.
>>82298609
>Pat Lee, the Transman
My kinda trap.
>>82299418
>it's a common idea that Megatron go "Well done." to Getaway when he gets back to the Lost Light
Please show me other places where this idea has been suggested.
Also, why the hell do you think Roberts would love this idea enough to risk his job over it, especially when you're saying that it's "common"?
>>82299428
>Fast
>Can't get any hits in when fighting in close range because multiple limbs weaken the effectiveness of each one, got her ass whooped and lost control of the insecticons she used parasitic neuropheromones on after only a couple uses, and has poor track record of air to air and air to ground combat. Also she is a manlet that is barely Knock Out's height while having less bulk and very few direct damage inflicting weapons so she can't even do the "I hit things hard, so I don't need to be accurate" excuse. None of her advantages ever got used effectively.
>>82300281
>bad guy
>complaining that she loses
Come on, anon, why are you even surprised?
>>82300461
She should at least have been able to kill Arcee.
>>82300611
You honestly thought they'd kill their only female autobot who is also a main character?
>>82300726
That is why they fight. A duel between emotional revenge and cool-headed pragmatism in war.
>>82300789
Hasbro? Finally so much is explained, but will they ever find love on the battlefield?
>>82300987
No. Airachnid is a homosexual and the only other girl hates her for killing her boyfriend. The white paint one.
Still eternally reading Ravage's lines in anything with a deep russian accent. Still not regretting it one bit.
>>82301148
Bladewolf, but as a black cat
>>82301148
Beast Wars?
BEAST WARS
>>82296930
Makes sense.
It could also mean that he wants to be replaced, but wants to ensure it's someone worthy and competent. He wants to be replaced, but won't give his would-be successor with ease.
>>82301025
>the only other girl hates her for killing her boyfriend
But Airachnid isn't Starscream. You have the wrong girl, anon. You want the one with the sexy legs and heels.
>>82301439
Arcee had multiple boyfriends killed by a skinny Decepticon with long legs.
>>82301714
Knockout never killed any of her beaus, anon. The others are all just fat afts.
What? How DARE you call me, I mean Knockout, catty!
Looking at Megatron's face here, I think he's definitely baiting Tarn. That's not an "at peace" face.
Also, the fact that he's not using his inbuilt spacebridginess. If Tarn shoots him, there's every possibility it'll end up in a neighbouring star system or something, or come out of Megatron's leg.
>>82301148
I still hopeNautica asks him to be her Conjunx Endura
>>82302481
Not the last time Megatron's baited someone he's been at extreme odds with into shooting him.
First time it's worked to my recollection.
>>82301148
I still hear Lee Tockar but lighter sounding.
>>82301148
It still bothers me Ravage talks. He should communicate in snarls.
>>82303004
git gud
>>82303004
Maybe he's snarling out those words? Seriously for all you know he could be snarling in cybertronian so obviously everyone else understands him.
>>82302529
Yes.
It was in Chaos Theory where Megatron baited Optimus into electrocuting him by claiming he enjoyed killing for the sake of killing, and that if it weren't for him, Optimus would be a nobody (Optimus wants the war to be a hero figure).
>>82302336
>Knockout
>Skinny
>>82305113
The skinniest, the sleekest, the fastest, and the prettiest.
>>82305365
Nah. Shoulders too big
>>82305628
Oh great, now you've sent him fleeing to download about fifteen gallons of energon in the waste disposal unit.
>>82303004
Ravage had the first line of dialogue in the Marvel comics.
>>82306182
Liar. That's Soundwave practicing his ventriloquist schtick for the Decepticon Talent Show in issue 4.It's this visionary use of foreshadowing and plot twists that makes Transformers the most sophisticated of visual novels and transformable collectible figurines for sophisticated adults of superior taste.
>>82285299
Shouldn't you add "Dawn of the Predacus" to the list of things you need?
>>82307512
Speaking of, is it true "Dawn of the Predacus" is a prequel to Beast Wars?
>>82307512
It's an old list so no doubt it's out of date. At least the comics in the mega are kept up to date.
>>82307813
It MIGHT be a prequel to A Beast Wars, but NOT the Beast Wars we grew up with... Maybe an alternate timeline?
>>82308361
Ah.
Personally, I'd like to envision an Alt. Universe where Megatron didn't escape his bonds while he and the Maximals returned to Cybertron, and after a long series of events (such as being Cryotek's bitch), he returns in the TM3 body and has his climatic battle with Optimus Primal once again.
>>82307813
It was planned as a mini-series set between "The Rebirth" and Beast Wars. It was then cut down to one issue. It was also promoted as being in continuity with IDW's "The Gathering" and "The Ascending" but that seems like bullshit. I doubt any new Beast Wars fiction will treat it as canon unless it is written by the same guy. (And will there ever even be more new Beast Wars fiction?)
The folks at IDW have an as yet unrevealed "big thing" planned right after Titans Return. Could it be a ROM/Micronauts/TF crossover?
>>82311584MLP/TF Crossover
They probably haven't thought of post Titan, but I'm going to guess either another try at reviving Beast Wars interest or a spiritual successor to GIJoe/Transformers
Blimp
>>82311766
Barber says:
>Right after these stories, we have a tale called "Titan Returns" that James and I are writing with Mairghread Scott (who's writing the "Till All Are One" series). After that, there's something very exciting we've been talking about internally, but we're not ready to unveil to the public yet.
>>82312242
Fight to establish dominance: begin!
>>82312543
It's too obvious a fight. Roberts always has a secret stash of fan tear cookies which taste like healing powers. The others won't be able to take him.
>>82312857
Here.
>>82312961
Those are just the cookies made with the diluted version he palms off on the others. He has the real mccoy, so powerful they make his hair stand up and glow.
>>82313503
>>82314367
Tailgate's tears can cure Megatron!Drift's tears can cure Rodimus' erectile disfunction/spoiler]
Megatron hasn't transformed in two years. Why is he in these comic again?
>>82314899
Because someone has to be the heroic autobot leader to fight the attacking Decepticons
>>82314899
You could read the comic and find out that his body is basically all fucked up thanks to the shit that went down during Dark Cybertron. His internal space bridge has rendered his internal spacial relationship dubious at best.
In laymans terms he is, once again, all fucked up.Who knows what would happen if he tried to transform.
>>82311791
>Blimp
Looks like a two-headed dragon to me.
>>82302481
>I still hope Nautica asks him to be her Conjunx Endura
So that would make Nautica into bestiality.
I don't know If I want Skids or Nightbeat being cucked like that.
>>82316748
He's a perfectly intelligent being, who just happens to have been constructed in an animalistic shell.
>>82316748
>>82316828
Nautica/Ravage is my new OTP
they'll invite Soundwave and Windblade and the other cassettes
Starscream will not be invited
I wonder who this friend was, and if it'll be important.
>>82298132
I might get him to sign (initial?) my old G2 Bumblebee. Failing that, MP Bee.
I decided to look him up on the wiki, turns out he did Hot Spot, Snapdragon and Rollbar too. Plus did Skids and Outback once (they had other voice actors too). So that's more options.
>>82317338
I've had a soft spot for G1 Bumblebee so I'll go with a print or the book like that one anon suggested.
Are you going to get the (sealed?) box signed, or like, the hood of the actual figure or...
Outback was pretty cool, although he played a larger role in the Marvel comics.
>buy your Combiner Wars Hot Spot to get signed because it'll be worth a fortune one day!
>>82317833
I'm honestly not sure. Last year I had Peter Cullen sign the soundbox from my G2 Optimus which looks great in trailer mode. Bee doesn't have such an obvious spot. The box is neat, but I'm not really a guy who displays boxes, so I'd rather the toy itself.
How's season 4 so far?
>>82319163
You're talking about Rescue Bots right?
>>82319764
Yup
>>82319163
I like it thus far;
though, I hink it might have been a little more interesting had the chief actually retired
>>82317059
a good friend.
Question. How would the bots recognize Tarn as Roller if he takes off his mask? Majority of bots got the G1 similarity thing going on with faces.
>>82321700
That's a good question. I'm guessing someone, probably Megatron, will actually say his name and they'll know from that.
>>82287587
The -ations where really the last timeI was invested in TF fiction. I think I've slowly drifted away from Transformers since Animated ended. I was huge into it from '96-2010 or so, but between AHM and the ongoing being a let down, and TFP being dull to me.Now I just keep a casual interest; I peek into the happenings of the comic now and then but its all so far from what Transformers was when I was really deep into it.
Its interesting to see how much the fandom has changed. Sunbow G1 and especially the 86 movie aren't treated as the end-all be-all; in fact if anything it feels like people are just tired of '86 movie references. Beast Wars isn't the sacred cow anymore, and a lot of newer fans don't hold it in the same regard as those of us who where around when it was still new. the whole UT era seems largely forgotten except for those who grew up with it..
>>82321700
so the bots with faces that didn't suffer from samefaces are:
meggy
galv
overlord
jhiaxus
cyclonus
bumblebee
thunderwing
kup
probably tracks/silverbolt if both don't share the same lips mold
everyone else is basically springer, sideswipe and starscream with occasionally different colors right?
>>82321700
Probably just like how everyone could tell who Mysterion was.
>>82322231
Helex got a chubby face.
>>82322231
Thunderwing is cheating, his inner robot's face is the same as everyone else.
Now Bludgeon, that is what i call jaw-dropping.
>>82321700
Get someone who isn't Milne to draw him, that'll cure the sameface.
>>82322623
Milne draws it like that BECAUSE of he was inspired by G1. He has been changing it up though with newer characters.
>>82322623
Sakamoto-sempi is out then cause he has worse sameface problems than Milne. You'll have to get Collar or Raiz or Rojo.
>>82322748
>Raiz
Basically Rojo/Sakamoto with gritty wrinkles.
Coller's sameface suffered from Guido-itis: HANDSOME sameface.
Get Roche and only Roche.
>>82322858
Roche is great and I would have mentioned him but hes always too busy.
>>82322858
>Guido-itis: HANDSOME sameface.
>implying that's a bad thing.
>>82322910
This.
>>82322748
>>82322858
Just take Ramendeli and Corin Howell instead?
Great with faces and proportions!
AlternativelyJosh the Diet Roche or Tramontano the test tube baby of Boo and Howell
>>82322910
I thought handsome face was Alex Milne
>maybe he's born with it
>maybe it's Alex Milne
>>82323128
Both are. Guidi too.
>>82323128
oh no he's hot.pg
>>82323128
Just imagine if Guido drew Overlord. Sexy lips to the extreme.
Sexy sexy lips.
>>82323464
>>82323445
>>82323406
Guido and Milne do for robosexuals what Disney did for furries
>>82323128
He got worse recently though.
>>82323501
Be successful?
>>82323081
>Boo
Same tier with Ruffalo and Sakamoto.
He's alright too IMO, but need some working.

I want this back just to see more necktie guy.
>>82323445
I liked what he did with pretender Starscream.
Handsome and smug as fuck.
>>82323696
This guy?
>>82323732
it's so weird to me because I looked at so many humanized art and it's kind of weird to see Starscream as a white guy instead of a tan/ambiguously black one
>>82323779
Yes this dashing well dressed bot.
>>82323797
Yeah, but it's his Pretender version. They made everyone white, even Jazz.
>>82323797
> weird to see Starscream as a white guy instead of a tan/ambiguously black one
Pretender Starscream has been around for a long time. It's weird to see him as tan/ambiguously black.
>>82323797
>>82323894
Maybe he's really Mongolian.
Just the best pretender shell passing by
>>82323980
Not pillaging enough.
>>82323732
That's not handsome that's generic military guy.
>>82324426

he's limp- wristed and backstabbing enough

The gun is good, right?
>>82323983
>>82326197
I feel the same too actually.
>>82299418
All it takes is one ass hole and a way back machine or worse a video phone talking to him to open the flood gates of either a law suit or just worse uploading and starting a clickbait campaign that states a writer 'stole' ideas from the fans.
you have no idea how toxic the internet has made the world. In this era the black Spidey suit or rather Venom would have never happen.

I still can't believe they actually killed him. Tarn must have some pretty thin skin LOL
>>82331127
He's a zealot who is undergoing an extreme test of his faith. Some people crack under the strain, and he did at first. Now he's doubling down on his obsessive devotion to the Word of Megatron. Even Megatron may fall but his teachings remain strong as long as people believe them. Or that seems to be the way he sees it.
I wonder what other Tarantulas-y things Roadbuster did. What's the timeframe for his infestation anyway?
>>82332573
Sometimes the dialogue in these comics are hard to follow. the way they toss out terms, like what the fuck is "syk spasm"? A weapon? A medical condition? A narcotic? The "He was obviously using," suggests he does drugs.
>>82331127
>>82331356
Overlord egging him isn't helping.
I want Overlord and Tarn teaming up for a long time.
>>82326307
I was wondering what Vartox was based off of
>>82335131
>>82326307
The 70/80s are weird.
>>82334694
Syk is a Transformers drug, yes, established by a single reference in an obscure UK comics, natch. It took me waaaay too many years to realize it's just a sci-fi way of spelling "Psych".
>>82331127
No really. Tarn is an extremely vulnerable character and always has been. With everything going on especially, it's no surprise he's being pushed over the edge.
>>82334823
Which is funny since kill his own team weakens his bargaining position with both Deathsaurus and Overlord because Decepticons respect power. Tarn is banking on leveraging Kaon making them look weak with the badass murder cred he earns by killing Kaon, however both of the other Cons are intelligent enough that they're doing the standard math in their head and coming up with one less member of the DJD makes Tarn ultimately weaker.
>>82335803
I don't mind sci-fi lingo in works, I love Farscape way too much to do otherwise. But when they write it up like that, especially in a comic which by design limits how many words they can cram into a page, it just becomes too confusing. It's not even a "damn dirty casuals" thing since you can be a Transformers fan of long standing and not know what the hell they're talking about.
"He's obviously using what? A syk spasm? Is that a martial arts technique for ripping someone's spine out?"
They do themselves zero favors when they write like this.
>>82337000
Maybe it's just because I grew up having druggie uncles, cousins, and various other relatives, but 'using' made it a pretty clear reference to some kind of drug for me.
>>82337000
Some reason I was thinking Syk as in Sick. Usually comics include an * with a bit of info box on the bottom explaining odd lingo. Wish these comics used it. I like learning these new things.
>>82337114
I know what you mean. Just include a little box explaining what it is and sign it James "Breakin' Bad" Roberts or whatever. It's usually the editor but Roberts is the only name I can think of off the top of my head.
>>82337074
You can definitely get that he's on drugs, sure, but the rest of that box maybe could have been better. You could say, "Roadbuster was on some kind of-I'm not even sure what it was, some kind of SYK SPASM?" That'd get you there. Saying "Roadbuster had some kind of" combined with spasm sounds like he's having some kind of fit or psychotic break. Which was true enough, I gather, only one that was drug induced.
I guess this sounds nitpicky at this point.
>>82316748
Wouldn't it be bestiality for her to have any non-Caminus partner?
They had many millions of years of divergence.
>>82335131
Is this supposed to look like the animated adventures of not-My Second Life Sex Life?
>>82337305
That kind of implies he was on something called 'syk spasm', which would be a weird way of wording it if you meant a spasm caused by syk. The wording isn't really that you're 'on' a bad trip. You're on whatever drug strikes your fancy and then you have a bad trip.Don't worry, we can be nitpicky together.
>>82337489
Only if you visit Eukaris but since beastformers were apparently once native to Cybertron, and given that as mechanical lifeforms who live for millions and millions of years and don't actually procreate with each other there isn't really evolutionary divergence. Technological, spiritual, culture, sure but not, in any way we've seen, genetically. CNA exists but that's about all you can say for it.
>>82323861
Visible skin was a mistake. Remove Riderman
>>82337585
You're saying the spasm part means has a drug tick, like that dude from Fifth Element
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OADJl-CVDo0
I can see that.
>>82337716
Yep, pretty much.
Dohoho
>>82337890
Oh Tarn.
>>82337839
Either some of us are dense or maybe it is confusing on-page. I suspect part of it is that it might be hard mentally for some fans to immediately go to, "Oh yeah, that's a drug reference," when dealing with Transformers. IDW is just a special kind of universe that way.
We'll probably never get a scene like this ever again:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EBUXVZcb2M
Unless Combiner Wars goes that far, which could be interesting. More like a Netflix series, only I wish it were a Netflix serious instead of whatever piece of obscure crap it's showing up on.
Although now that I think about it there were the Constructicons in Animated in terms of their appreciation of oil.
>>82339147
It was Kaon's fault. Little shit broke kayfabe. Worse he did so in front of people Tarn couldn't just murder outright.
>>82337890
I can't wait for Deathy to fuck this bitch over. I refuse to believe he's just gonna sit there and watch Tarn pull that shit. Unless he plans to help Overlord egg Tarn into killing all of the DJD. Which honestly, would be amazing.
>>82340007
I'm not sure he'd fuck over the DJD...yet. He might actually try to engineer Tarn into killing some more of his team, but only because it makes his people safer. If Tarn is going to start murdering people like this then just betraying him would be risky. Thinning the DJD out a bit more would help. Tarn surely can't replace membership very easily now that the war is over. Does he even have access to the resources to create more super bots capable of enough ultraviolence to scare the Decepticons straight? The way I see it this wouldn't be Deathsaurus being hypocritical since Tarn already started.
At any rate I'd much rather that Tarn end up killing the majority of his team without anyone manipulating him. Because I want him to go full Megatron and only when he's murdered his way through his team and one-time friends does he realize...he has nothing left. Trying to live like the true Megatron the current Megatron has forsaken costs him everything. I want Tarn to realize just how hollow and pointless this path has rendered his life. Then and only then he says a single word that causes his own head to explode.
>>82340245
What word does he say?
>>82340349
Why would he mention Chromedome as his last word?
>>82340349
That wasn't even funny or creative, I am disappointed in you anon.
>>82340399
Isn't it obvious? Tarn, who he was originally, was one of Chromey's Conjunx Enduras whom he erased from his own mind when believed dead.
>>82340502
Nice save sir.
>>82340457
It was apparently enough to piss you off. Cybertronians obviously have even worse reactions up to and including cranial detonation.
>>82340519
One of Chromedome's past loves still being alive but a mass-murdering psychopath fully dedicated to the ideals of Megatron would be par for the course in terms of Chromedome relationships.
>>82340525
>It was apparently enough to piss you off.
No, just impassive reading while I wait for laundry.
>>82340590
I apologize for ruining your impassivity. I've deleted the offending post so you no longer have to deal with it. Enjoy the rest of your evening.
>>82340297
Such a shame TFG is a shellformer of it's old self. These threads used to be so crowded we could have had a lot of fun coming up with words that would make a Transformer's head explode.
>>82340731It wasn't that big a deal man but cheers, hope your night goes well too.
Why is RID2015 such shit?
>>82341237
Yeah, sorry for making a scene. I'm not against the website, the joke was just based on how people react to the mere mention of it here.
My initial impulse was to sayRosebudbut then I'm an Orson Welles fan. That would be much better as Unicron's final word before the Matrix destroys him.
>>82341446
Some people like it. I'm more neutral, so much so I haven't kept up with the new episodes. Guess I should correct that.
Anyway it's a bit of a chore. It's very much for the younger fans and unabashed about it, but there are ways to do that which can include...more pizzaz? Clever writing? Animated did a far better job (not that everyone likes Animated either).
>>82341498
>My initial impulse was to say Rosebud but then I'm an Orson Welles fan.
Now see that would have been awesome.Fellow Welles fan too.
>>82341696
Same here. A Transformers thing or just coincidence?

>>82341446
Better than the comics though. Those read like poorly written fan fiction.
>>82341696
I'll apologize again. I didn't think the joke was too terribly funny, but it seemed more of an obvious joke instead of how I perceived you reacting. But I'm sure I misread it.
>>82341849
Does anyone read the new RID comics? I don't recall ever seeing them storytimed.
>>82341877
There were only six and they finished a while ago
>>82341910
Any good or were they ignored here?
>>82341794
Coincidence, I love his earlier film works.
>>82341867
Ah no man, really, it's fine.
>>82341995
some were good, some were eh. Animated had amuch better 6-issue miniseries
>>82341606

>>82342323
They deserve jail for blowing up Six Lasers just because they were too short to ride any of the cool rides.
>>82342380
>because they were too short to ride any of the cool rides
>>82342039
I like Orson Welles mostly from his old time radio work, but The Third Man is a personal favorite of mine too. And of course the Pinky and the Brain version.
>>82341606
>more pizzaz?
more pizzazz you say?
>>82340580
Where's ma sins of Chromedome ?
>>82342806
Ready to spill out when Dominus returns.
>>82342843
Cuckdome.
>>82342843
And then it turns outChromedome was Dominus Ambus all along! Wiped his own memory and had his features rebuilt to protect himself from something in his past! Rewind is having a relationship with his father figure! Ultra Magnus has a gay brother! That last one isn't actually a big deal!
>>82343008
Fund it.
>>82343008
and fucked Prowl ?
>>82343380
Hey anon, be fair. Who hasn't fucked Prowl? That's what drove Prowl to the breaking point and his decision to fuck over the entire universe.
>>82343380
Who wouldn't fuck prowl?
>>82344313
Chromedome apparently.
