    pffft, oh my god. After that panel with Frenzy and Breakdown I'm definitely checking this out.

    I was amused by that. :D  I was going to anyway since I enjoyed the first one quite a bit but that sold me.

    It's not. The panel is about how the war has been so depressing that the only option the characters have to escape it is to read some of these light hearted stories.

    Which is one of the reasons people enjoy fiction in the first place. Escapism.

    Wildwheel is frustrating because his bot mode is awesome but his alt is so generic. It worked more or less as a one-off joke (generic mook reinvents himself as something more) but if he's going to start being drawn in to other continuities I'd love for him to get a more unique alt.

    Hell, drop him in Beast Wars. A horse that turns in to a cowboy is definitely their speed.

    A second Transformers X My Little Pony crossover should have been Beast Wars. Friendship is magic, Blackarachnia.

    The first was popular enough to get a sequel. If the BW comic does well it could still happen.

    I wish it was drawn in the style of the 80s cartoon rather than FiM (or later - whatever today's style is called.) Nevertheless, I am forced to concede that this is amusingly adorable. :lol 

    Now do a MOTU crossover. Why not at this point.

    I am genuinely pleased that the TF/MLP crossover is going out of its way to include as many continuity transplant-types as possible. Prime Breakdown! Airachnid! Shadow Striker! Slipstream! Yeah!

    Yes. But make it happen anyway, toy gods. :lol 

    Yes! And Tri-Klops, too. It writes itself.

    And have encounters between Beast Man and Beastbox, Buzz Off and Waspinator, Snout Spout and Big Convoy, and Orko and Wheelie.

    And give Roboto the matrix briefly. (Optimus voice, whispered: "Arise, Robotomus Prime. Domo arigato.")

    Autobots yes. Decepticons no. Especially not low-down rough n’ tough dirty punk Rumble.

    The Decepticons caused the war. They keep it going because they want to, not because they are on the defensive. They don’t get the right to be depressed about the war they are in.

    Wow... I did not know you felt that way. Do you take the same aditud tword US soldiers that fought in the war or terrorist? Because everything you said about Rumble applies to me.

    So if one sides leaders started a war the soldiers fighting in it aren't allowed to feel bad about the situations they're in.

    Welp, sucks for any soldier from any country ever then. We shouldn't even have remembrance day since they obviously kept fighting cause they wanted to.

    Nearly any country from the 20th century and before, and even some now one could argue. The US had slavery, state supported discrimination and colonialization for a long time.

    But even if we take the real world out of this, how the hell does "Four panels crap on Transformers fans" by showing Decepticons just taking a break? It's almost like they're characters one would like to be interested in rather than one-not villains like they were in the movies.
