    Yep, there's a lot of psychological damage on board that ship that Rung was helping keep a lid on. Whirl, Red Alert, Fortress Maximus, Tailgate...

    Make no mistake, Rung is going to be missed by more than just you, dear reader.

    And remember; 'Don't look in the coffin'? I'm convinced this refers to Rung's coffin. The brightest spark doesn't end just like that...

    James Roberts, you Joss Whedoned me!! I know, I should never start to like a character...

    Also, *facepalm*, why did I never wonder where the ship came from?

    Yup thanks to the wiki and spoiiler tags are pointless in this thread. Didn't even need to drop a dime on this. And welcome to my ignore list.

    Gutted. No really.*

    Shit, I just thought,
    Swerve just killed Whirl's only friend! I would not like to be in his Awesome purple Magna-Clamps right now!

    *not really.

    Oh man, this issue sounds so bloody good! Gotta wait till Saturday to pick it up, until then I'm gonna be climbing the walls with anticipation, even knowing my soul may be thoroughly destroyed by what happens in it,
    poor Rung, and at Swerves hands as well!

    I was scrolling down the page to basically give a "this" reply and accidentaly rolled over your spoiler tags.

    Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. And I was doing really good up until now.

    Wow. This issue. WOW. Just when you think it can't get better they pull THIS. This issue is HUGE, with both personal drama and larger plot stuff happening, making you even wonder about some of the things in LSOTW! Absolutely mindblowing!

    I wonder if Rung is ACTUALLY dead though. Something about it felt off. Though who knows with this comic? :lol  Gah, I LOVE all the left turns it's taking!

    Also, I was expecting Grimlock at the end there. Seeing HIM...Holy SHIT. I wonder why he is saying that stuff though. What happened to him? OR is it just being stripped of his weapons and being helpless that got to him?

    GREAT issue!

    You know what else is pointless in this thread? You. Can we kick you out? I would certainly be all for that.

    I agree.

    This thread is about this specific issue, not the series as a whole. What purpose does someone who hasn't read and has no intention of reading it being here serve?

    If I were to guess, it would have to do with
    his utter humiliation and defeat at the end of LSOTW. He got humbled pretty bad, destroyed down to his skeleton by a team of 'bots that WASN'T Megatron, and then found out that the last three years had been a waste of time because not only had Megatron been downed, but he hadn't cared enough to actually pursue him.

    Overlord's ego got completely shattered by the fight, and he's likely lost his reason to live.

    I'm sure
    he is, however I don't believe that it's the end of his influence on this story. Especially with a mnemosurgeon on board. The little guy still has a lot to offer imo, even in death.

    Moving away from that though, Whirl is magnificent in this issue, I was laughing my head off at him, and yet
    his back story is quite sad, all he wanted was a quiet life. Interesting that he changed his name and became a Flight Instructor, with his rage issues, I wonder if he ever taught Rotorstorm?

    Also, for some reason I was tickled by Red Alert
    taking Ore's (or was it Shock's?) drill hand to use to scratch away at the crack in the floor.

    Splitlip is one of quite possibly several people who almost had the issue spoiled because of your inconsiderate attitude. Show some common courtesy and don't be a dick.

    Split Lip, I really don't know why you'd even be in this thread if you didn't want spoilers. I get wanting to see peoples reactions. I do that too. But after the first couple posts of people flipping the fuck out over the awesome I'd avoid this topic like a plague until I'd read it. Actually that's exactly what I did.

    I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything but it just seems odd for a person to enter a thread about a topic they don't want spoiled.

    Were I the moderator I'd probably put in the first post a spoiler warning for the entire thread: Enter at your own risk, then only do normal mod duties. That said, I'll be considerate and use spoiler tags since that is what is requested in this thread. I know I wouldn't want things spoiled for me, hence why I don't enter threads about topics I don't want spoiled.

    To get reactions then leave.

    Like I said, it worked really well until I just happened to scroll down and my cursor just happened to be in the exact spot the spoiler was. I'm not blaming anyone, it was an accident. In fact, if it weren't for that accident I could have read the entire thread and not be spoiled. Pretty much everything is under tags.
