    Shouldn't it be -.00592/5 for lack of imagination & lack of mention of a smelting pool?

    Uh, so it took me 3 issues to notice that those ships weren´t with Megatron, but were instead a Functionist fleet.

    Technically yes but he was quick enough to write it in the first page so I gave him some points for that

    Oh damn I didn't think being sort-of right about Rung would hurt so much. You won't be forgotten you beautiful old bot, you won't.
    (Edtit: Just realized this issue retroactively makes the Shadowplay arc so much more feelsy too. Feckin' continuity.)

    I don't know if I liked it or not. I am glad things are wrapping up and we have conclusions. Actual conclusions. I give a lot of points to this.
    For the record I think Robo-romance is dumb, so all the hand holding and kisses and admissions of love were silly to me. I get why they were there, but alas, I did not care for it. It was a good story telling device when it was just Chrome dome and rewind, but now it is practically everyone. Anyway, whatever.
    Bomping Primus in the back of the head was silly.
    Question 1: If Vector Sigma is dead, does that not mean that this "new" cybertron will be dead as well?
    Question 2: from the functionalist universe, are we dealing with a phantom menace situation with their army and fleet? Now that the council is dead, the fleet is dead too?
    Question 3: If Luna 2 was traveling at warp speed and smacked into Primus, wouldn't they collide? Like smash together in a terrible crash?

    Ok, despite what seems like me whining, I think I liked it...

    He wasn't being a prick at all, he was stating simple fasts and explaining them.

    You don't have to be a baby about it.

    (Yes, that's being a prick about it. Learn the difference.)


    Why do you need a source for the obvious? We've known for what, a year that the comic was ending? And anyone following this series online knows Roberts has had plans for this book to continue on for several more years, with a back door emergency ending story to wrap it up in case his time on the book were to be cut short. It's obvious that with IDW publicly announcing the this universe was ended that Roberts' number of issues was going to be much more limited than what he originally planned for.

    No, being a prick has to be pointed. You're just being childish. Not being a prick would be levying valid criticisms instead of casually tossing barbs.
    Is actually kind of a prickish statement truth be told. Not that your opinion is invalid.

    I still don't think Rung is gone. He heals himself. We don't know to what extent either.

    I would think Vector Sigma is still functional. I thought the matrices were just to purge the computer.

    Cheers! Loved this explanation! And makes quite a bit of sense considering poor Rung's usual "space in the room" syndrome.

    Still sad tho. *sigh* With the Reader's Digest version of the events that happened it's understandable the characters don't have much time to react to Rung's sacrifice. Sure hope they do in Oct. :(

    There is not a single barb, jab, or anything of the sort in the guy's message. It's not even a criticism, he's simply stating the facts of the book's cancellation vs how it would have been considered a conclusion if the series was allowed to continue with all the other stores he had planned. RNSrobot clearly just didn't like to be told he was wrong. A cancellation is different from a conclusion.

    I don't think "concluding" and "cancelled" are contradictory descriptions. The story is concluding... because it was cancelled.

    Like, it's no different than if a studio told a TV writer that there weren't going to be any more seasons of a show and that they needed to write their finale in whatever episodes remained of the current one. Having a conclusion doesn't change the fact that the show was cancelled.

    I'm not sure Hardlurk is being a troll here. He's not saying the book out and out sucks. He's giving his reasons why he disliked this latest issue. He's allowed his opinion.

    There have been issues that I've not liked either. I was fairly middle of the road with this issue, but I can see how people might've not liked it.

    Kind of the same feeling with this one I had with the other issues. Not bad, in fact there's a lot of good here, but the pacing is really off, and you can tell there's just chunks of story missing from this conclusion. Part of me can't blame the writing for this, but it doesn't make it THAT much better? I don't know. I do look forward to seeing the conclusion.

    This was not a good comment and I’d be happy if they ban you from this forum.

    :rolleyes: 

    Hot take.

    You're also entitled your opinion if it makes any difference.

    LOL, I think @levyshahar was making a joke based on hardlurks original statement of "this is not a good comic and I'm glad it was cancelled.". =)
