    I'd go so far as to say that MtMtE season one was the best Transformers comic fiction we've ever had

    At the bottom corner is Breacher, and the other one was originally meant to be Quickswitch, but then Quickswitch showed up and died in a different series, so it's now retroactively Sixknight.

    I will say, as much as I love that speech, I have to imagine the new Wreckers were probably a little unclear on what exactly they're supposed to be doing. Going off of Springer's words and the open-endedness of his orders, it sounds like they're more likely to form a political interest group than a special ops team.

    Optimus and Megatron’s conversation in Chaos Theory. And then Megatron’s conversation with Ravage in MTMTE that touches on that conversation, wonderfully brought to life by Chris McFeely.

    Let’s see

    RID (2012):

    * Megatron returning
    * Starscream freaking the fuck out when Megatron smiled.

    MTMTE S1 has so many terrific moments, I feel like to name some is a disservice to others by not mentioning them, but here are some:

    * Tarn’s introduction
    * Red Alert finding Overlord
    * Magnus passing out immediately once he deactivated his inhibitor chip
    * Magnus vs Overlord
    * Rewind’s death, later his message
    * Cyclonus vs Star Saber, brief as it was
    * Cyclonus fantasizing about killing Whirl, but teaming up with him
    * “I AM NOT A DECEPTICON. I want that on screen.”

    Dark Cybertron:

    * Chromedome yeeting Prowl and Magnus chewing out Prowl for being a prick.
    * “Remember me as I was.”

    RID Season 2:

    * Optimus and Alpha Trion on the Moon
    * Optimus blowing a hole through Galvatron

    MTMTE S2:

    * The stragglers coming upon the remains of the alternate Lost Light, my God Alex and Priscilla gave it their all.
    * I remember how haunting it was when Nightbeat found Brainstorm’s Decepticon sigil.
    * Brainstorm seeing Quark one last time
    * Everybody singing The Power of Love in Swerve’s
    * Tarn flipping out when Helex or whoever said they weren’t being good Decepticons by leaving behind the others.
    * Ratchet leaving at the end of #40
    * Megatron and the flowers
    * Cyclonus seeing Whirl’s holo form, MAN the art was killer.
    * Skids being forced to watch the bots die in the smelting pool.
    * Megatron vs the DJD

    Optimus Prime:

    * Sideswipe’s death
    * The reveal that Unicron has awakened and is on his way
    * Arcee kissing Aileron
    * The Shockwave reveal

    LL:

    * Rung punching the moon
    * Magnus’ rant hoping Megs burns
    * Anode and Lug’s monologue regarding their identity
    * “No, THAT’S Primus”
    * “I deserve worse” - Megatron
    * “Bugger” - Ratchet

    Unicron (MAN what a finale)

    * Unicron arriving on the alien planet
    * Mistress of Flame’s last stand
    * Wheeljack’s death
    * Cybertron’s destruction
    * Starscream’s death
    * Dinobots vs Bludgeon
    * Optimus’s death/Unicron defeated

    I really loved IDW 2005, I’m sorry to say I never got into IDW 2019 but I’ve seen some panels I like here and there, namely of Flamewar, Shadowstriker and Slipstream.

    Furman's entire run. Including Spotlight: Arcee. ESPECIALLY Spotlight: Arcee. The fiction doesn't tend to lean on hard sci fi nearly enough, and Furman wasn't afraid to do so. Plus, as a combat veteran who's dealt with PTSD and combat related anxiety disorders, it's great to see someone address that.

    Very late, but I felt the need to put down my favorite Optimus Prime moment in the entire franchise.

    When Prowl took apart Shockwave's entire philosophy and MO. An actual genius putting a fraud in his place.

    Finally finished Lost Light this morning, the last issue was hella bittersweet, when thinking of Last Bot Standing as well.

    The Rodimus speech during the last battle gave me the feels, lol

    Finishing up Optimus probably tommorrow and then Unicron, and gave the whole thing a read.
    It was great

    Several years ago, IDW were reprinting All Hail Megatron in a UK Transformers comic. They stopped doing it abruptly when they reached the end of issue 9 of the US series. I suspect that they did this so that I couldn't sue them in my home country (the UK) over a copyright breach against me in issues 10-12 of the US series. It was confusing before I realised what was going on but then amusing when I did realise! They'd have been much worse without my material in many of their issues!

    Came to say that I enjoyed the Scavengers. I like it when writers come up with stuff that doesn't have to do with the same. Main. Four. Decepticon. Characters. From G1 over and over again.

    The greatest highlight with MTMTE was that there were no humans in the series save for about 2 random episodes!

    Rodimus and the LL crew didn't have to pacify, pander or tip toe around anyone...
