Seeing as he was actually officially announced to be in the movie along with Barricade and Megatron last year as opposed to just being held top secret like the rest of TLK Decepticons like Nitro,Hooligan,Berserker and Mowhawk that does seem to indicate that he could possibly have a larger role then we thought.

 

Alright, reading it (thank you again for the contact information-free pdf, Danny-Boy,) it seems like good, cute fun like you\'d find out of a cheesy 80\'s or 90\'s comic book ... but assuming his depiction here is accurate to the film, I am bit disappointed that Onslaught - you know, the intelligent tactication who led his own subgroup? - is a dumb brute who\'s a retool of the gripestest Constructicon.

I know it\'s the movie universe, but they usually get the signficant of the names somewhat right (Jetfire is a jet with Decepticon ties, Long Haul is a Construction who complains, etc).

 

Movie Long Haul has character?

 

Trying to download it from IDW. Taking a lot longer than it should. Hopefully it'll be on Comixlogy soon.

 

We all joked about it, but this is no laughing matter now.

 

Or just hosting it here. I'm on my phone at the mo and don't want to give out my credit card details for a free thing.

Cheers in advance.

 

That's great! I wish my phone could open pdf comes that large though. Sorry to be cheeky, but is this available as picture format files?

 

I love how Onslaught looks, I just hope there will be a toy, but I'm not holding my breath. As much as I can see parts of him from parts of the fake toy picture.. Let's just hope there is either a plan for wave 4 or Takara has something up their sleeve.

 

You know the more I think about it I'm betting that Onslaught is being set up as being Hound's main rival like how Bumblebee is rivals with Barricade and obviously Optimus against Megatron. With how Hound is actually being featured the most in a lot of the promotions along with Bee and Optimus as well as how like I've said before Onslaught was the only Decepticon officially announced along with Megatron and Barricade perhaps that also indicates that he may have more to do then what we're shown of him like him having a personal history with Hound that could be explored upon a bit even if it's a little bit.

 

I hope so. On the other hand, he was never shown in any promo pictures or stickers or anything. I was hoping for another leak from Weibo hinting about a Wave 4 in the future. Just with the movie getting closer I would have heard something about Any Onslaught toy.

And if the comic said what Onslaught personality is, I can only imagine if he had lines in the movie that he would be voiced by someone like, Patrick Warburton.

 

being a dumb brute is still a personality and more than what we have gotten from most cons in these movies, so if thats all he is, ill take, especially if he at least talks.

whats funny is now when i look at the different shots of onslaught from the trailers, his claw is now so much more obvious to me,

 

Not sure if anyone knows but there is a print version. I found it at my local comic shop in Chicago as a free giveaway.

 

My local store slipped a copy into my folder today too, and I was pretty surprised to see it in print.

 

man this really makes me miss the movie tie-in comics.

I mean Bay's reason for disallowing them is pretty solid, after the fiasco with the amazon comic preview that spoiled sentinel's betrayal, but it still really sucks. Feels like something's missing.

 

I miss them too. I know they weren't technically cannon but they were great for filling in plot holes and giving character to a lot of the offscreen toys.
