Nope. Just a hope for him to do something in the comic. And it makes sense, since he's the only Autobot who didn't get womped in the Ark, and he's where Hot Rod and Wheeljack were headed.

 

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

No way, dude. Megatron could get tail wherever he wanted.

Maybe but there were no female con's in the G1 verse

 

[TheCorpulent1]

There are now.

Well, I guess all of the core Autobots had a niche already except for Ironhide. Second-baddest badass under Optimus works.

 

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

I hated Ultra Magnus. Even in the movie.

"I can't care about that right now!"

Hey, mofo, you're supposed to be leading the Autobots, and even if you're running like a chicken, you should probably care that the other ship just got trounced!

Yeah he was a duche back then

What do Jazz and Wheeljack do?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Jazz is the funny token black guy. Wheeljack was the engineer/all-around smart guy, right?

 

[Spike_x1]

Jazz used to be the second in command, during the beginning of G1, and seemed to be the most in touch with Earth's culture. I dunno what his role is now. *shrug*

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Token. Black. Dude.

Prowl seems to have taken over as second-in-command. Which I like, actually. I always wondered why the police car dude didn't have much authority in the cartoon.

 

[Spike_x1]

Dy-no-mite!

Thats because nobody liked the cops in the 80's

 

[El Bastardo]

Prowl rocks.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Prowl rocks.

... at keeping the black Autobot down.

 

[El Bastardo]

Cybertronians don't see in colors!

They only see in... uh... wavelengths?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Colors are wavelengths, dude.

 

[El Bastardo]

You can just take all your reading and science and high-falutin' crap to the door, bucko.

We don't need none o' dat!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Perceptor disagrees.

 

[El Bastardo]

Perceptor turns into a freakin' telescope. The only thing almost as bad as that was Blaster turning into a boombox (I want to see how Furman handles that in this mythos) and Megatron turning into a gun.

Megatron's only saving grace was that Starscream knew how to accurately shoot.

 

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Well Megatron did shoot by himself from time to time.

 

[El Bastardo]

Dead thread become reborn once more!

So, Devastation #3.

Not drawn by EJ Su. Kind of sad, since I'm pretty sure he always made deadline with the first two parts.

Not that Nick Roche is bad, it's just that he has a more cartoony style than Su's technical details, and it's a glaring switch.

How do you like the new take on the Headmaster idea?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I like the Headmasters. I hated the whole idea of them in the cartoons, so seeing that concept vilified as a terrible violation of both the humans and the Transformers involved by a morally bankrupt human government is kind of cool.

So far I dont like the new take yet....but I havent seen enough to really pass judgement.

 

[El Bastardo]

I don't mind it. I think it's nutty enough to actually work in the scheme of the comic.

Hopefully Furman won't go overboard with it and have humans join up with all the characters. Sunstreaker will be enough, and even then, if he meets some terrible fate with Hunter onboard, it could make a neat end to Devastation.

I want to see Prime call in the Wreckers to fight off Six-shot.

 

[Spike_x1]

Finally finished "Megatron: Origin," as well as "Infiltration." I gotta say, I like Megs' cybertronian body much more than the one he had in "War Within," despite how awesome Figueroa rendered it. I suppose if WW is still in continuity, then his body's been retconned to be the one seen in "Origin," right?

 

[El Bastardo]

Were they that dissimilar?

If they were, I blame it on Milne (the artist for Megatron: Origin). I didn't like that much of his art anyway.

Eh, it was okay, I suppose.
