Nice art but the writing could be better. Its like people have been fed crap so for so long, they forgot its supposed to taste bad.
awh. i love seeing the decepticons be, well, people. of course, astrotrain calling humans "Little dude" is a sharp contrast to his massacre of civilians in AHM...
I like how Cosmos is constantly making these little jokes to himself cuz he's normally got no one to talk to
Yeah, there's always a couple of small changes when Barber and Roberts write existing characters to fit them slightly more into what they intend. Example, Magnus' anal-retentiveness goes to the point of hilarity in MTMTE and Nightbeat is now Sherlock Holmes instead of the Hardboiled Detective type. It doesn't conflict with their previous characterization exactly but there is clearly a change. To be fair Astrotrain never got a chance probably to interact with humans in this way as in AHM they were ordered to kill and destroy.
Funny how Cosmos says that the 'tank' strapped to Astrotrain isn't Brawl, and then we see Brawl disembark from Astrotrain...
i was quoting a tv show or something. but i forget where i heard it. i still agree with it. RiD should be a lot better than what we are actually getting.
It's most certainly better than what we've had with Combiner Wars, but just his preview reminds me what I don't like about Barber's post-DC writing. His banter always comes across as stilted, clunky, and above all unrealistic. I give it a pass for Cosmos, but Barber writes everyone like this, spewing off dialogue that never feels natural. On the other hand, at least the overall plot is somewhat interesting, though I'd actually like to shift (or accelerate, I guess) focus to the whole 13 Primes thing... ... oh god, I can't believe I said that.
'I still say if there is a CW Soundwave it will be a Mack Truck. The only question is what will be his Combined form?
It's not so bad. In fact I have no big complaints with the dialogue up until Laserbeak and Buzzsaw begin their own little conversation on the side. Like yeah, thanks for not making boring dialogue, Barber, but we don't need banter in every single panel alongside actual relevant dialogue. Brawl being interested in the floatyness of the ship is enough. Either way I like the look of this issue well enough. I'll probably get it.
