I love that art

 

Great Group Shot. Chromia's just as grumpy as ever.

Glad that Wheeljack's finally back.  

 

 

Wheeljack: "Did I just wake up to the Twilight Zone. Starscream is still the leader of NAILs. MEGATRON IS A WHAT?!!!" Looks at Prowl . "Some things change and some remain the same."

 

Yeah, he was already similar to his Prime version in RID, and I think Sarah's style brings a bit more of that to the table as well. It's true... aside from the greater angulation on his head design, it is the same as before.

Especially since Wheeljack's "death" barely seemed to serve ANY function whatsoever, beyond a momentary "OH NO! They killed Wheeljack! You bastards!" effect. And now he's back.

I suppose there could be some repercussions and complications still to come.

Also, Ironhide seems to get bigger all the time. He's not even supposed to be that strong.

Oh god, just noticed that Chromia's just hangin' around with all the people she tried to nuke into atoms last month.

As long as we're talking about insulation from consequences.

 

I guess Ironhide might not be in the know. And Starscream's hardly in a position to question one's past crimes...

But yeah, I totally get what you mean.

I really hope they actually try to develop Chromia in some way that makes it so she doesn't truly feel like she's a karma Houdini.

 

Between this and the MTMTE cover, Stone'e been getting a lot of work recently

 

I dunno when I read the previews being released like that it seems that WheelJack is going through a rebirth like a newborn baby.

 

After the Windblade miniseries, it feels like the only way to go with her is to portray her as some kind of weird broken creature with a severe inability to feel empathy. There is no way to spin what she did. You have to either retcon her, or embrace the fact that she's actually utterly amoral and dangerously unstable. Seriously... she's worse than Arcee.

If that was Scott's goal... well, mission accomplished.

I am hoping more that Windblade gets the development. I don't have high hopes for Chromia.

 

I just pretend the mini never happened.

I think that is undoubtedly the intention here.

 

Okay, seriously, who let Chromia in there? Chromia, who nearly killed the entire population of Iacon to scare Windblade off the planet?

Also Wheeljack is back, which is good.

 

Any chance this story will get frontpaged and these images get hosted on TFW? I can't enlarge them enough on those sites.

 

Let's hope it was her goal.

Also kind of ironic that Arcee's actually become a better character now as of late.

I can actually dig the idea of Chromia being that broken creature.

 

Has she though? Less antisocial, but has she actually become a better character?

Arguably, it would give her more personality than she had in the first 3 issues of the Windblade series. It's maybe better than her utterly generic "Windblade's amazon bodyguard and BFF" persona.

I was unaware that the inside cover and 'Previously' page were included in itunes previews!

Good look at Windblade and Chromia

 

Is it just me or is that the Prime version of Wheeljack? Is that his new upgrade over his old RTS version.

 

Was she ever a bad character? She had a personality and motives. The only problem was what that personality and motives were. Now they're being changed to being ones people have less of a problem with.
