    This is going to be an amazing issue.

    It's great seeing a lot of currently deceased characters in this flashback scene.

    Prowl specifically said Tarn was on par with the Phase Sixers. “Why are none of our warriors on the same level as their best?” And he name drops Tarn.

    So that means once he gets a glorious master class voyager leader class fig with lights, sounds & an additional USB port he'll no longer be neglected?

    Name a good CHUG Shockwave. Also name a good 3rd party Shockwave in an incarnation. We don't have ultra class figures like Kultur, Striker Menus or Tyrantron. We don't have any IDW styled. Only an MP and some non CHUG sized ones

    Ok now I get it. You want a good CHUG version & then will be fully satisfied. Fair enough.

    How abt waiting for a KO co make an OS version of the recently released legion version, would that be ok with you? I thought that was a good mold albeit undersized.

    So they get away when the Dinoforce reveal they can form Dinoking and slap the DJD around? I'm for it.
    It's an issue you see with these serial killer supervillain types sometimes. The other guys suddenly drop in intelligence and competence. Joker's guilty of it a lot nowdays too.
    He was on the voting list for the POTP leader. Wonder how that would have worked out. It'd been neat if the smaller figure was senator Shockwaver and the larger the classic look.
    G1 Comics Shockwave spent a lot of time overthrowing Megatron and running the Decepticons and was arguable better at it. So that might be part of it. It's nice that his scientist aspect's come more to the fore though.
    Yeah. The DJD were so stupidly overpowered that Roberts had to say they were hopped up on Superfuel and they were now out of it. I think he hyped up their power and threat level too much and ran into a problem of how the hell Anyone was going to be able to survive against them.

    Pretty much. I want to face off against Severo and can stand with Tyrantron, Striker Noir and Kultur.

    No no no no, what they want is a voyager class Shockwave with $90 points of articulation, no kibble in bot mode, no panel lines in alt mode, paint over every square inch, for $5 US.

    "Like one." Doesn't mean he is one, but is on the same level as them.

    He wasn’t. There was discussion around this around the time of the reveal, in fact.

    I’m more not understanding how/if Dominus is supposed to be the dude with hooks for hands, but this looks like an issue that might fill in a *lot* of old details/backstory, or at least make some of what Milne has said before more official. :)

    I know the serious answer is “it’s a flashback”, but the less serious answer is that it looked like Roberts was seeding something when he had the big “what’s happened to the Scavengers” diorama” (check the panel where one of them says “It’s happening again...”)

    I came up with some headcanon a long time ago to explain why Transformers don't do everything wirelessly and internally, and instead do things mechanically and with separate tools.

    If you opened up your internal system to other computer systems, you'd be subject to a massive amount of hacking attacks (especially in war time). It just makes sense that to survive as long as they have, the Cybertronians did their best to close off their internal systems from outside meddling and interference.

    This is why their weapons have triggers, why they speak and listen using actual audio (it's ridiculous that they even 'speak' to each other), why they use datapads, phones, interact physically with non-sentient computers, etc...

    I'm surprised this has never been used in a story because after thinking about it, it seemed super obvious.

    I think that it will be a relatively good issue. Maybe that's because there have been so much tumblr-fanfic-tier issues about lgbtqwerty love dramas and iron homestuck people that every issue not related to them seems like a blessing from above, including this one. Anyway, I'm interested to see what happens next.

    Flywheels isn't necessarily on the DJD's list in this. If the crew happened to be Shockwave plus 31, then you'd have to conclude that he's on it. But Shockwave doesn't necessarily state the number of people on board. It's enough that he's just reporting the number of people on the list who also happen to be on board. There's scope for people who aren't on the list to also be part of the crew.

    That Quora page isn't giving the basic summation, which is that with intransitive verbs English used to use be rather than have as its auxiliary. Even though we no longer use them, we're aware of them because they're so prominent in things like the King James Bible ("For the Son of man is come", "for thy light is come", "the plague is begun", etc) because these were still the normal forms at the time. Somebody as pretentious as Tarn might well use them when trying to sound literary and above it all.
