I'd love it if it actually WAS one of them on art duties. I'm guessing Galan, if it is on of the two. He was always just a little more curvy and cartoony than Yaniger, while Derek kept his figures a little bulkier and much more squared off.

Once I get it, my Grimlock is going everywhere with me going "Wot!"  

 

Also, remember when someone mentioned that the main boxset characters happened to be the five figures featured in the old Powermaster Optimus/Classic Pretenders commercial?


Do those figures in the stasis tubes look familiar to anyone else? Even the one in shadow in the background?  

 

You'll have to pardon me, as I think reading those preview pages just gave me a stiffy....

Anybody who doesn't want to keep the comic can certainly feel free to send it my way!

 

ugh no thanks. why did goldbug call SS and his mini Predacons? Thought the were Autobots or good Cons?

 

Wot The Hell?!?

I guess we're going to get a lot of off the wall cameos in this issue. And the repaints... the kit bashers are gonna have a field day with all of these. (tho the Action Master colored Thundercracker is oddly cool looking as I find myself wishing they'd actually make one out of a Classic Starscream)

I wonder if characters are gonna get as trashed in this book as much as in the G2 days.

 

I think he was only referring to Razorclaw as a Predacon.

 

Dear FP,

Marry me.

Love,
Jarodimus

P.S.: It's OK. My wife's cool like that.

EDIT:

Oh, yeah! And lookit the ones on page 2. Unproduced goodness ahoy!

Jazz was reffering to Razorclaw. Sounds like in this version of the TF universe Perceptor's miniturizer was used as a weapon.

 

Behind Starscream? What are those?

 

Yeah, those two.

Unproduced Pretender shells. They were shown at BC'96, as revealed by Monzo a coupla years ago:

Whoa, are those photos from the year that the Unicron toy was supposedly stolen???

 

HAHA. Oh man that Unicron! Forgot about that.

 

BRILLIANT. This is so schmaltzy, but in a good way. LOVE British Bugbite.

And darnit, they just sold me on evil Grimlock. "I, GRIMLOCK, am SCANDALIZED!"

 

Freakin' fantastic! Anyone know if an extra copy can be purchased at the convention?

 

There should be a retail version, of course.

And, yes, they MUST make an Action Master-colored Classics Thundercracker. If we said so BEFORE they revealed it in the comics, we certainly say it now!

 

Someone pointed it out over on the club boards, but the Universe Seacons are popping out of Astrotrain in the background on Page 3. Well, You can at least see Overbite, Snaptrap, and Seawing.

 

I am loving the British Bugbite. I'm totally giving him a British accent in my funnies now. XD[/color]

 

And Tentakil.
