The moment Streaker mentioned Wheeljack, I knew it was gonna backfire on 'im. (Very nicely played out the way Streaker casually loaded up Silver's weapon, taunting Mirage all the while) Wow, looks like Silverstreak's got the gift of the tongue, talking down Mirage and Streaker like that, both bots who in any other circumstance would most likely mop the floor with him. Awesomely written.
Fantastic as always. I have to say, as excellent as your action sequences are, some of your best scenes don't even involve the characters moving. Your writing, character development, and world-building are what puts this comic far above most TF fiction I've ever seen, both official and fan made.
*sniff* I love you Coolhand. *sniff* (Also, if I ever get around to doing my comic, you totally inspired a great backstory, thanks!!)
Epic. i love how you put so much into your story bubbles. i prefer a minimalist approach myself, letting the action speak for the characters.... but i have to admit that this is a WONDERFUL presentation. your story is truly one of the few i wait on the edge of my seat for. i hadn't seen that you updated until today so i was pleasantly surprised. GREAT UPDATE! - A.S.
He is in a cell because he is awaiting trial for leaving disobeying a direct order, and leaving Windcharger in which lead to Windcharger getting caught by Decepticons to be tortured.
Nice history for the Autobot insignia. Not a bad idea at all. And Bluestreak uses the power of his jib-jab to talk Sunstreaker down. Not bad, not bad at all.
S: Translated to Mirage... "He was put in a cell because the vulgar peasants could not wrap their leaden wits around his necessary defiance of losing strategies."
Ok, I'll do ya one better... Translated to Sunstreaker... "Matrix fragger slagger..." Yeah...that aught to do!
Hey guys, sorry I was so late in replying. As always, thanks for reading and commenting. Thanks dude. Those bars still bug me but I'm trying to sort the fx out on the fly. Hopefully they'll keep improving. Thanks Fez. For Streak, it really was personal. The sacrifices of the war were so horrific for him, that the only way he can deal with it is to focus on the end result-freedom and liberty. Sunny was about to take that away, hence Streak flipping out a little bit. LOL! The Mirage bumper sticker: It refuses to stick to anything less than a Bentley or a Rolls Royce... Yup. It's from the MacFarlane MGS 1 release of the Solid Snake action figure. The Laser Aiming Module and silencer actually detach from the barrel. It's a really nice little trinket. Wheeljack's got Snake's goggles, and Streak got his SOCOM. There are other bits of Snake's kit that will make an appearance at some point as well. Yeah, Streak REALLY didn't want to have to shoot Sunny, and totally understood Sunny's anger (though not to the extent of wanting to murder an unarmed bot.) Streak WOULD have shot Sunny though, if he had to. Thanks dude. I know that some of the Autobots in this story haven't been behaving themselves that well, so it was kinda time for someone to stand up and be true to the badge, even if the cost might be that he had to shoot an out-of-line Autobot dead. You're welcome. I'll try and get the next update out before the symptoms become too bad again. Thanks. I kinda like this scene as well. I tried to get it so that everyone looks cool. Sunny looks cool for showing that he’s not just all mouth about taking down Mirage, Mirage looks cool for showing that he genuinely will accept death rather than beg, and Streak looks cool for talking a raged up, murderous Sunny out of pulling the trigger. That’s what I was aiming for anyway, hope it came across that way. I don't actually know if there's an explanation in the official cannon as to where the symbols come from, so I might have totally contradicted something there. If I have, then lets say Streak simply snapped under the pressure and remembered it wrong. Silverstreak: He runs best when he runs on angst. That was awesome, and that is indeed pretty much how Mirage's thought process goes!
Hmm, that sounds like a challenge. I accept. OOTDL Season One Abridged Streak: Internal monologue FTW. Optimus: Meh. Ravage: Die. Mirage: Slag you. Shockwave: I'm scary. END SEASON ONE OOTDL Season 2 so far Abridged Mirage: Optimus: Meh. Hound: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Streak: Put a sock in it. Grimlock: I'm scary. END SEASON TWO SO FAR
