I still have to read 13, at least I can read this one right after that one.

 

I have a feeling this will not end well for Chromedome

 

...huh.

So...is Chromedome responsible for Overlord being onboard...?

 

No. Someone told him to go down into the basement in #12, remember?

 

anybody else think that this issue is just going to be a flashback of overlord's backstory and that he won't wake up and kill anybody until the end of this issue/next issue?

 

lol well played mecha


hey- i wonder if the mental block or whatever that shockwave and overlord discussed in LSotW will have something to do with this being a big mistake by chromedome.

 

That's the feeling I'd gleaned. After all, even though the story is somewhat dependent on it, you can't just assume that everyone reading this book has read Last Stand of the Wreckers. So *some* time is going to need to be dedicated introducing or re-introducing Overlord to the audience and why he's such a bad motherfucker.

...and THEN, you get to the slaughterfest.

 

I don't know why people are assuming a slaughter fest? Hell, he only killed one Wrecker in LSotW and from what I remember there weren't that many dead bots on the list, were there? UM and Drift, who we know survive this arc, Hound and Chromedome, no?

 

^For all we know there could've been like fifty guys on the Lost Light who died (or there bodies were found) before Hound I'm not saying that that's the case but just because we only saw a small amount of names on the list doesn't mean nobody is going to die

 

Because its fucking Overlord. For me, Roberts has built him up in such a fashion that the second he is let off the chain, madness and murder follow in quick order.

Yes, he only killed one Wrecker, but he also killed Kick-off (potentially) and half a dozen of his fellow Decepticons. That we saw. Who knows what kind've body count he wracked up over the three years he had the run of Garrus-9.

I'm prepared for one of two things to happen:

1. Chromedome triggers some anti-tampering fail-safe device in Overlord's brain that causes Overlord to sputter out and die, resulting in nothing.
2. Chromedome switches Overlord back to full consciousness and A LOT of Autobots end up needing to be scrubbed off the walls.

 

I think MTMTE #15 makes this one an impossibility.  

 

Chromedome I swear to god.

 

^lol

 

Four pages and I'm hooked. The mixture of eagerness and dread I feel for this title is matchd only by The Walking Dead. Why can't it be this way for both Transformers titles each month?

zmog

 

And really, it's not who he's killed that have got it worst. It's who he left alive. I mean, just look at the state he left Fort Max and Springer in.

Frankly I'm more worried for the survivors than whoever will die.

Pffftttfpppftftpfff-

 

When Overlord appears death is the easy way out.

 

It's almost like going up the first big hill on the roller coaster. Each page there is like the "TIK" as the car moves up to the top of the hill.

I don't need a Leader sized Overlord, but a very beefy Voyager.

 

I thought Shockwave removed his mental blocks? My guess is, Chrome will wake him up out of his stupor and that's pretty much implied   Cannot wait to get this issue!

I'd want a leader! The more imposing the Overlord, the better! Maybe Has/Tak can do something about Galaxy Force Megatron and turn him into Overlord in a similar vein as Omega.

 

Chromedome's doing a cortical psychic patch, what Bee did to Megatron in PRIME.

Except this will cause more trouble and explosions than Michael Bay.

 

Just looked again, you're right, no redesign. I hadn't looked at my LSoTW trade in a while so some details seemed new.

Just because those names were on the list doesn't mean they're the only ones who are gonna die, they're just the ones we KNOW. What about the names that are above the seen ones? I'm sure that list wasn't THAT short.

As for Overlord only killing one Wrecker...

Yeah. Overlord is pretty fucking terrifying on the battlefield, but the scariest part is how sadistic he is. He doesn't just take over Garrus-9, he turns it into his own personal gladiator/torture ring simply to amuse him as he waits for Megatron to finally notice he's still around. He will MAKE people beg for death, but that road out of the hellhole was only available when Overlord decided an individual no longer amused him. There's also no question he would have murdered the fuck out of the remaining Wreckers at the end had Varity not destroyed his dreams of facing Megatron, since he easily ripped of Springer's FACE and then Guzzle IN TWO (how the hell Guzzle didn't die is anybody's guess).
