    If we hadn't already had leaks informing us of Terrorsaur's impending toy, the fact this art includes the 5mm hole at the bottom of his foot would suggest whoever drew this was basing on something they saw that we haven't.

    As far as the other artwork, why do the Decepticons have all the good SG colors? The good guys typically seem so bland or uncreative by comparison.

    I forgot to add, someone once asked for suggestions on what the G1 combiners would be if they were to get beast modes.

    I had only one suggestion: Defensor would be a Paw Patrol reference. You know it's true. Animated wouldn't shy away from it.

    Also, Takara is apparently SpinMasters partner in distributing Paw Patrol in Japan so....what? It'd lock my kid in TFs for *life.*

    What's weird is her debut issue has Airazor on the group shot (at least in the RI cover, but no Tigatron).

    I'm really, really hoping Tigatron is already online and out somewhere trying to survive and we get a miniseries dealing with that. I keep comparing this to LOST, with Tigatron potentially being like the tail section.

    Honestly another interesting idea would be a handful of stasis pods that came online on the other side of the planet and didn't even know the Beast Wars were on until it was too late and everyone went home without them.

    C'mon Hasbro, just embrace it. LOST with robots. BW was before LOST so they technically ripped *you* off!

    The cover of Razorbeast provokes me to play, after years, with his figure y with Megatron :p

    So who are these pointy, four-eyed spectres?

    I cannot wait until they change artists on Beast Wars. The current designs are almost Animated-like, and I just don't think it does the characters justice. The Razorbeast cover art is SO GOOD, why can't we have that inside the comic too?

    My first thought was a hint at our new character, but are there any designs like that? It *kinda* looks like Wolfang's mutant mask, but what would he be doing underwater?

    That was something I hadn't thought about before with Skold. Nyx gave the Maximals a flier from day 1, Skold is the first time there would be an aquatic beast mode. We never saw anything like that until S3 on the show.

    Perhaps the eyes are another monster similar to what Dinobot and Nyx faced?

    Up until the past year or so, though, hasn't it been predominantly the territory of FunPub? Like if you weren't tuned in to their stuff you may only have passing familiarity with it.

    eh, yeah, that's fair. for now it's still only really tuning in to the same audience as funpub was being generations selects and all but the comic itself going mainstream will boost its popularity for sure.

    If we could photoshop Waspy's finger just a touch to the left, we'd have a great little reaction meme for the fandom going forward.

    I can't really do much photo manipulation on my phone, but just cropping Waspy gets the point across. :D

    Is that king Skywarp? not Starscream? I don' t read comics usually but that seems unique. I wonder how the story is. o_O

    Looks to be, yeah. Skywarp was pretty important to events that happened before the comic started, and just returned after having been thought dead since the last war.
