Holy moly Transformers: Till All Are One #4 by Mairghread Scott on iBooks Onslaught: single-minded determination to follow the mission- no matter what. Poor Blast Off (and Brawl).
Hard to make out the dialogue, but I love the layout of the Combaticons' minds at work within Bruticus, particularly with Vortex seeming to take control while Onslaught and Vortex are occupied (not sure where Brawl is there). I'm glad that I'm actually excited for this book!
Despite only making out an odd smattering of lines I like this. Maybe if I wasn't looking at this before I have bought #3 I wouldn't be asking, or maybe it is a mind flashback thingy, but is that Armada Starscream back?
You'd know more if you'd read #3, yeah. Spoiler It is a flashback, yes, we're seeing something that happened between Starscream and Swindle awhile ago
Here's a slightly larger look at that two page spread: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cr3lcPkUIAQplv4.jpg
Brawl's there drawn in one of Swindle's eyes. It's him panicking because he feels what Swindle felt being shot.
Somehow combining the Combaticons will unhinge the members more so. I wonder how Vortex will react. This bad idea Onslaught if you don't believe me watch Combiner Wars. (It is decent and I really do like it)
Yeah, didn't expect to feel sorry for Brawl but I do. Looks like Vortex is soaking up the rush of power- in fact every one else seems to be panicking or single-mindedly pursuing their one mission, then there's Vortex up there at top just reveling in the chaos and rush (which fits him perfectly). I'm wondering if the next panel will consist of Onslaught swatting Blast Off away so he can keep watching what's going on between Starscream and Swindle (which won't help Blast Off's emotional state, nor Bruticus', any).
I feel sorry for Brawl. Bruticus well given he has the memory and feelings of Swindle at the time he was shot just as his components will. I really going feel sorry for is Iacon I doubt the combiner will spares anyone in his rampage to destroy Starscream. Onslaught really miscalculated this one.
fuck, i feel weird that the murderous murderguys are getting some development. kind of conflicted, lol.
Why? I'm so glad the Decepticons are finally getting some characterization and motivations beyond "murdeyguys". XD Also, full 5 page preview! SWINDLE Is Back In Action In TRANSFORMERS: TILL ALL ARE ONE #4 Poor Spoiler Blast Off, the lone voice of reason, lol.
I said it once already but I really hope this arc goes for the curveball. Have Onslaught form, he rampages to get to Starscream... only to make a dramatic speech about how Starscream is lying to people and how he hurt others and it is time to tear him down. Then the Combaticons calmly disengage and reveal they AREN'T mindless brutes... and leave to create a new city.
Ha, that would be nice. I do like that Onslaught has been revealed to actually be thoughtful and NOT just a mindless brute (Scott seems to have actually read Onslaught's old bio, unlike any other writer before her, apparently, and I'm glad she has). But Ons can fly into a rage, too, so... remains to be seen. But yes, would be an interesting twist. Atm it seems Blast Off is the sole voice urging the others to follow law and order more than pure revenge, we'll see how that goes.
