I collect artwork more than toys.

As for chars who done nothing is more of excitement of potentially doing something.

I am not going into gender superiority thing because it derails the thread. I would comment on it if the character written poorly and executed badly.

My feeling is Nautica is interesting character which I do not mind seeing more of but I rather see her interacting with other characters than Brainstorm. I tend to not go into hype either and prefer background chars when right bad fan fiction it is much freer.

 

Gentlemen, ladies, let's calm it down a notch here. What we have laid before us is a completely awesome comic, stuffed to the absolute brim with completely awesome transforming robots. Let's just think how blessed we are.

Love that Nautica still has her wrench though, that's definitely going to become a thing.

 

Thank you. Said it before I could.

 

Is her visor retractable?
She looks kinda plain without it.

 

I absolutely agree.

 

Well according to Nightbeat, Brainstorm isn't so much dead as "nearly alive", so it's not that bad!  

 

"Turbofoxes in heat"
I don't like where this is going.

 

It's much like Optimus Prime's trailer.

 

That it detaches when he is not using it as a combat deck and sits on the sidelides of battle and attaches back when converting from robot mode?

 

Wait, where's Whirl? And Cyclonus?

 

Singing and quaffing in Swerves.

 

Thank God we've got our comic back from that DC calamity. At least the chips have fallen in a tantalising manner,. RID looks to be starting stronger than it finished too, so maybe DC was good for something after all :/

 

I may start collecting this comic.

 

off the subject a little isn't sure shot on the lost light?

 

For those worrying about where [Season one MTMTE character] is, I think it's worth noting this is only a three page preview.

 

This again...Megatron = Hitler  

And so I will paraphrase what should have the been the FINAL word on this matter:

Comparing Megatron to Hitle is massive oversimplification....Hitler actually made it a purpose to kill millions in his "Final Solution". Megs did what he did regardless of what occurred to the natives. Think of Megs as a Colonial Expansionist (Manifest Destiny/ White Man's Burden). Our forefathers didn't initially set out to massacre Native Americans (though that is what expansionism resulted in). Instead, our forefathers set out to expand and further colonize and populate the then, wild Americas, and did so regardless of what happened to the Native Americans. Unfortunately, this atmosphere was perfect for thugs, despots, and heartless murderers to operate while hiding behind a rank, uniform, or office (Custer, anyone?). It is the same with the Decepticon army; thugs and maniacs hiding behind Meg's cause for toppling the corrupt "Autobot" regime headed by the Cybertronian Senate and it's line of False Primes and later on, Meg's cause to restore Cybertron.

 

MTMTE has been a fantastic ride so far. I do hope Megs stays as an Autobot; there is a Plethora of ideas that can pulled out the creative well that is Meg's road to redemption as he will need to come both to terms and face to face with the very sins he has wrought. After all, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions; and what a long (and entertaining for us) road Megs will have to travel back from.

 

I hope we get to see Megatron's alt-mode at some point.
If this version is the Leader figure, then I imagine we will.

 

Guys not every major character in MTMTE is on the cover for the simple reason that they specifically wanted to use characters that weren't on the first issue cover. Brainstorm, Skids, Swerve, Tailgate and First Aid weren't on the original cover despite being major characters so they get to be on this one with all the new main characters. Though part of me wonders if Trail-meister will actually get more panel time this season or if he's just used on the cover because he we on the "meet the crew" page last season and wasn't on the first cover.

 

I would say it's because we're dealing with a race that has been constantly fighting for 4 million years- they're just sick of it. Killing either of them based on past crimes would just result in more fighting, and since the war has finally ended, no one wants that. It's just the hope that anyone can truly change for the better. Sometimes you really do have to forgive your enemies to get your happy ending.
