More Than Meets The Eye #4 Discussion

Constructed cold was first mentioned in Last Stand of the Wreckers by Fistitron.

Also Adaptus, who is that? Not familiar with him, Phaarma or Ambulan.

Exactly!
Triple M
Genericons
DJD

James has added more depth to Ongoing in 8 pages then Costa did in 2 years. But you cant please everybody. Hence the term Geewiner and living up to the word.

That being said, here's to shape-ism! LOL!

Overlord!

He was last seen with no skin and with no one in a hurry to graph new "skin" to his body I'm sure he's cooped up some where in stasis.

Plus his last words to Kup were "Tell Megatron to come and get him."

So odds are that Blackshadow is one of the 5 DJD who obviously wouldn't mind taking him out based on what was said in LSOTW.

Phaarma and Ambulan are nobodies, based on their names... destined to die very shortly, I would expect. I'm not sure if Adaptus has ever been mentioned prior to this issue, but it seems like Adaptus is the mythic figure who taught them to use their shape-shifting powers. So maybe not a creator god like Primus, but perhaps a Promethean figure?

That's a pretty good theory. It makes lots of sense.

Adaptus was name-dropped in Roberts' on-going two-parter last year. There seemed to be some mythological if not religious overtones attached to the name; maybe in old Cybertronian lore, they were responsible for Cybertronians learning how to transform?

I try to not get attached to rampant speculation. But a Roberts penned barn burner between Overlord and Black Shadow? That would be... magical.

Who are we thinking makes up the DJD?

All new characters or fanwank?

Personally I think Lockdown's gonna be on. He is the one Megatron sent to bring Drift in after all.

Yeah Lockdown is a big possibility.
So is Blackshadow
Not sure who that is on Cover 7 but he's obviously one.

So that's 3.

My guess would be one more known Bot and one more unknown.

Deathsaurous perhaps?

No.....I think he's worthy of his own arch.

So maybe a Terrorcon or deluxe Insecticons.

Basically someone who's kickass yet doesn't a lot of limelight.

You mean the one reflected in Drift's sword? Isn't that Pipes?

Gah! Mere hours away from more Roberts/Milne-y goodness! I can't wait!

My initial thought when I saw that the Wreckers: Declassified catalogs have been brought up again was that Ironfist was back, but they've kind of made it clear by this point that he's pretty stone cold dead. The only other character who's been seen writing them was Verity, but she's probably still on Earth.

I'm now torn, based on the speculation presented in this thread, as to whether the surprise character reveal at the end is Grimlock or Overlord. I'm kind of hoping for the latter, if simply because Black Shadow's been hinted at for a while now, and I'd LOVE to see those two square off.

Everyone was saying the returning character was going to be Kup or Springer a while back, but Kup seems unlikely at this stage and according to Zero Point, Springer's still recovering at Debris with Roadbuster.

I hope that my comics shop pulls the Roche cover for me, as I've been collecting his covers for the series so far. Tomorrow can't come soon enough!

BALL JOINTS FTW!

I think he means the cover of issue 7.
