    Fair, just wanted to point that out though since someone said it was weird he didn't have a beast mode if he was a servant of onyx

    So, uh, did anyone notice this?

    "MTMTE, 2012-2016".

    I'm really missing Milne on this issue, Tramontano's not bad, but she's also not Milne. I am enjoying this more than a lot of season 2, but it feels very rushed so far. I am also hoping that we get to go back to the main cast sometime soon. Maybe the outcasts will hitch a ride in Fortress Maximus and have that be their new ship in place of the Lost Light? This would be a cool way of bringing Max back into the cast.

    Milne has this wonderful talent of getting across some of the sillier parts of mtmte without it seeming "cartoony." Not that cartoony is bad but it's a singular ability, one that's as much responsible for MTMTE's awesomeness as the scripts.

    The art was fine, some nice bits, but Milne would have CRUSHED this.

    If there's anything else hidden in that screen, it's probably in that line three from the bottom where the numbers and letters are closer together.

    Not sure about that, given that the sequence of characters seems to be repeating over and over (the characters in that line are repeated two lines below, and earlier upward).

    Need to plug my computer in before I say more, but I just read exRID #56 and it says the arc is exRID 56-MTMTE 56-MTMTE 57-exRID 57

    That may have been the intended order for them to be published and read in, but it's definitely not the chronological order. It's exRiD #57-57, and then MTMTE #56-57.

    ^It seems like there was an intentional decision to publish them in that order, (and both on the same day so that you wouldn't spoil anything). But delays and the recap pages obfuscated things.

    Gasp! Did IDW, the same company that put out Revelation, Maximum Dinos & All Hail Megatron at the same time, screw up their continuity?

    Taken From Us Too Soon.

    Lost Light is fortunately a thing.

    But still RIP MTMTE Issue #113. Never going to be a reality. ;_;

    ashamed to admit I didn't but I felt there a SIGNIFICANT reason they show that screen though.

    Y'know something I just realized about MTMTE, just a tangent? We were never shown Megatron's vehicle mode. Given his standing design, I thought it would've been cool to see. The treads on his shoulders tell me he's a tank. He had very little reason to transform, yeah, but still.

    Except as a retailer incentive.. c'mon, there's myriad ways they could visually present it as such. Same with issue 100.

    I'm gonna chime in here and say I hope that despite very vocal, very dominant personalities within the forum having dropped the book, this doesn't become a tumblrfest of blinkered adoration.

    MTMTE is good. Very good. But when it swings and misses there's no reason not to point it out. I enjoyed Season 2 a hell of a lot. It reads brilliantly back to back. But there are some very indulgent moments that easily threaten to take you out of the story if you let them.. and I loved Swearth..

    Or it will turn out that he is a triplechanger like his new toy.

    I'm actually pretty interested too in seeing what his alt mode is/was. Hopefully they show that in Lost Light!

    Yeah, definitely. Milne is also able to convey a sense of scale better than a lot of the other artists, I feel like the titans came off as pretty unimpressive in this issue and I think Milne would have done a much better job of making these bots look big.

    Ah ty i was wondering about that
    Ah... ok cheers

    Yes me too i really dint like the look of this one.

    So a question. Did anyone read roberts letter at the end? Was he being sarcastic when he said he closed all the.. mysteries in mtmte? Cos if he wasnt i missed some of the things on that list. For example do we know rungs purpose? Not alt mode transformation, im refering to the episode where in an alt future he is detained by the functionists and alludes at being pivotal for something in cybertronian society. Didi miss the asnwer to that? Or the knoghts of cybertron. He was being sarcastic right? So what he was just saying this isnt over read lost light?

    That note at the end was at least 50% sarcasm with the second half him saying things would continue in lost light
