^yeah overlords mind probably makes megatrons mind look like a utopia where everyone skips around making daisy chains
Makes me wish I could get this when it comes out. Remind me why these guys aren't involved in the shows?
Well, judging from those screens and the title, I'd say ol' one-eye there is probably a functionist. That might have something to do with a certain memory slug...
Thanks for the snapshots. They're too small to even try and enlarge to get any text out of it, sadly. My speculation? The bot digging the green orb is pre-war Overlord. The green orb is some sort of super elixir that made him as powerful as he is. [Think of it like Shockaract's story]. EDIT: Or, as others speculated, maybe what's powering Aequitas. It's discovered on Luna 2, though. The LSOTW like pages is Overlord's fantasy of how he obliterated Springer and Impactor, or an off-panel piece of action before Perceptor intervened.
I'm not the only one who was speculating on that, then. It's hard to tell with pages that small, but the heads DO have similarities, and he has those pieces sticking up on his shoulders. I don't think the artifact changes him so much as he becomes curious about it and what it is. And wants answers. Heck - maybe that's why he took so long to attack Garrus-9 - he was trying to find it.
GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS The boss of the drilling bots (the black one with the red face) is: Spoiler Momus. Who's Momus? He's the senator that gets murdered for being a Decepticon sympathizer, the same one Prowl and Chromedome investigate in Shadowplay. He likes to hang around inferior bots because he USED to be an inferior bot - until he was granted freedom from function and was able to get a better body and function, which is happening here.
Really? Were you able to read that in these pages or is it speculation? The timeframe appears to be way too close to Shadowplay\M:O\Autocracy for him to elevate status positions so easily and fast. Not crazier than the theory that the one digging might be Overlord, but a nifty theory as well.
I was able to read the pages in iBooks, so I could read the texts. He is named (actually, names himself when he makes a call). Then immediately went to the TFWiki to see if the names rang any bell, turned out his did. Spoiler Then re-read the part in issue 10, and they name him, and how he likes to hang around with drillers, dozers, etc. I don't see why a character wouldn't be able to work himself up in approx. 200.000 years. He might have gotten help, or he just might be really good at being a senator. One of the miner bots is called 'Frak', by the way.
MMMM, if you squint real hard it's the first word in his second speech bubble. I'm under the impression that 4.2 M Years ago is approximately Chaos Theory\Shadowplay, that's why I found\find it so hard to believe he rose up so fast among the ranks. The plot thickens. I'd say it's marvelous how a teaser text and three tiny, tiny, ungodly tiny pages have made it to four pages so far.
Shadowplay just mentions a 4 million year timegap between now and the flashback story. I'm not saying it's not a stretch, but hey, some Transformers and their fates change in just one Earth day, right?
Free to those that can actually see it. Good luck with that, though. https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/transformers-more-than-meets/id606508631?mt=11 EDIT: Merge?
