    Well, aside from it being the most obvious progression of the character, Don already said that he used a design for the body that he already had with the head design that EJ Su came up with and showed in Escaltion.
    That head design is pretty much the Nemesis Prime\Big Convoy head.

    Also, I loved the treatment of Sixshot -even though he doesn't get to Ratchet, Ratchet had no hopes of survival. He definitely seemed like an awesome, ominous villain.

    I didn't notice the Easter Eggs -thanks for pointing them out.

    Other than the word balloon mistake, I think this issue was perfect.

    Yeah, he's awesome, but I wish that they had updated his design a whole lot more. Right now he looks like a toy, which doesn't make him fit in AT ALL. It's like he's from a totally different, nonserious series that accidentally wound up in this much more realistic take.

    actually, another way you can look at his non conforming alt modes, is because he doesnt need the subtlety, being a level 4 or 5 bot or whatever theyre calling the threat level for bots.

    Yeah, Sixshot does not come in and hide and get things cooking.
    His sole purpose is destruction and his six forms reflect that.

    Oh, I know that. But does he REALLY have to look like crap? Is an updated design so that it fits in with the general IDW style so much to ask? :(

    thats entirely subjective dude, i thought six (as nick drew him at least) looked kickass in all modes present, especially the puma.

    Good or bad, most of the non-Earth transformers look like their G1 selves. Refer to Stormbringer or many of the Spotlights. The Pretenders were redone, thankfully. There just isn't time to redo them all, I suppose.

    I don't know if you'll count this as an easter egg, but I thought it was cool that Roche drew Sunstreaker's un-lensed eye in the Movie style. The "camera shutter with 2 windshield wipers" look. I guess EJ did it last issue too, but he only drew Sunstreaker for one panel there.

    Great, great issue, though I fear where the business with Senator Holt might be leading, as I mentioned during Escalation's run. Hope I'm wrong, though.

    And yes, Sixshot is AWESOME. Loved how he just shrugged off those fighter jets-- like we knew he would, but without really even paying them any mind. "Whatever." Also love how friggin' HUGE he is compared to Ratchet.
