Aw, crap. Mul's gonna kill the Autobots.

Interesting, Mur sees the reasons Shinki are usualy bought for as slavery. Can't say I've not actually touched on this subject when I introduced my Tigris (being in forced servitute to your Sideways no less, Pol!), although the references to the Nazi core values does not bode well for the Autobots...

But I LOVE the personal reflections by Wheeljack. "Big Damn Hero moment" going south being the best part.

That was a HUGE update! And considering all we've talked about, I almost had it certain you were going to reveal she'd died. And we're still not out of this yet, so anything can happen.

The Megatron meeting (awesome throne, btw) was an added bonus that could have easily been an update all its own. Seeing all of this together was quite the treat! Knowing Murtle's going to help kill the Autobots is no shock, but it's interesting to hear a bit of her backstory. Although, even HER version gives off a vibe of conquest that the others didn't want any part of. Well executed.

Hi there, I've been reading your comic for a long while as a lurker, and I can finally say that you've got a really compelling story going on here. Plenty of drama and action, some romance and humor here and there... That's a winning formula.

Wheeljack's monologue FTW. Interesting to see Megatron giving Starscream credit for a way to improve a flawed plan. As for Mel, well, I suppose she's the first truly evil shinki of all the Funnies in this board.

Awesome update, truly awesome.

First of all, commiserations on losing your old job Pol, and congratulations on finding a new one.

Now to the update...

Reading the description of Arnval's injuries made me wince. I mean, inhaling superheated gas...that doesn't bare thinking about. So often in fictions, "robots" can simply be fixed if they suffer damage, so it's nice that WaP is taking a different route. It raises the dramatic stakes in the fights, and this is a case in point. Arnval is slipping away from her comrades, one cell at a time. I have a feeling that her condition may become a driver for future plot points...
(Nice 86 movie reference with Prime's power filter there)

And yeah, Decepticon politics is always kinda fun. Mostly because they're usually about one heartbeat from snapping and opening fire on each other...

In summery...and so begin the Clone Wars?

Nice update. Somehow I feel both Autobots and Decepticons have lost this battle. I still don't like Mur (don't expect me to like any nazis, sorry ) but I look forward to what she plans to do. I wonder why Megatron accepts being called the name a FLESHLING used?

It's strange that Megs knows TC died.

So these balls are the "sparks" of the Shinki. Does this mean Arnval's orb can be easily stored safely until they get a new body for her? And, since her head seems imtact, even her programming can be restored, I hope. If Mur knows how they work, Strarf and Eukrante might know it too. However, I still hope she will be back in her own body. Soon.

I like the log scene. So Optimus was lucky this time

Wow, I can really feel Wheeljack's emotions, good job. btw, Megs' last line is cut off, what's it supposed to be?
