I did that, and its still small compared to when they're hosted on site. I can't even view 'em on iTunes. It says I need the latest version of ios and iBook. Thing is, I'm on a windows computer. The other source, deviant art, when I open in a new tab, its too small. I can zoom in, but the image is so low res that I can't read any text.

 

Yay for Wheeljack's comeback!

 

Arguably, her personality, motives, and general portrayal were part of what made her a "bad character"... perhaps moreso during RID season 1, when her motives were utterly nebulous, and she was mostly a "mysterious super-ninja" all the time.

They seem to be softening her character somewhat, and foregrounding her former alienation and "gender issues" while never actually unpacking what any of that means for her (or for Cybertronians in general). I don't think there's much to her either way, unfortunately.  

Part of that could just be that Arcee's always been dull at best, and a lame sexist caricature at worst (alternately, her denigrated babysitter role in the Japanese series, and her "woman scorned" routine in IDW). It would be nice to see something else done with her, especially since she no longer has to carry the "female" flag for her entire pseudo-gender.

Im glad Sarah is back. I like her well rounded cartoony art. It's charming

 

Yeah I think having them calm Arcee down helped a lot more as well as she no longer has to be the female flag either.

 

However made the front page news post messed up a bit with the "discuss on the boards" link.

 

I just got home from work and was greeted with new art from Sarah Stone. A good day all around.  

 

As Rossum would say; "It's a superscientist".

 

It's not Prime Wheeljack. It's kind of a hybrid design of that and the RTS/G1 body, though. He's still got his wide, flat car front feet, but he does have the arched wheel-well shoulders of the Prime design.

 

His chest looks very Prime to me.

 

Looking forward to seeing Wheeljack

 

Ironhide and Starscream have always been the same height. Actually Seekers may have always been slightly taller.

I don't like that the've demoted Starscreams size or them making Ironhide this seemingly Goliath sized bot to accommodate Optimus's absence.

Now Jetfire (if he was on Cybertron) sure.
Broadside, Road buster or Lugnut...fine. This are certified giant bots.

Ironhide has always been sholder length to Optimus TOPs. As Starscream has always been to Megatron.

Not a deal breaker, just a growing annoyance regarding the scale of some of my fav bots.

 

Ironhide looks very Boris Karloff Frankenstein's monster… I think it's all in the eyes.

 

The art in the 1st 4 panels is incredible.

Tee-Hee!  
Really, the comic art is nice.

 

Stone on the regular series? Yes please!

 

I love the upside down scene, but there's one thing I noticed: the liquid is drained out of the tank... from the top. The scenes are from Wheeljack's view (who is upside down) and yet the liquid is draining down in this view (meaning upwards in reality).

Absolute minor nitpick but once I noticed it I couldn't un-see it. No reason a tank couldn't just suck the liquid up anyway.


ANYWAY, the important thing is that the art is absolutelylovely. So much emotion and personality are conveyed in just body language and facial expressions. Sarah also seems to have a nack for neat layouts too. I'm pretty happy to have the Milne-space, Griffiths - Earth, Stone - Cybertron trio on the go.

 

It's the same body he's always had in RID, which does indeed look a little like the Generations toy and a little like the Prime design.

 

I'm sure that wheeljack is upside down in the tank, so the fluids are draining correctly.
