    "Kinda like a Game of Thrones character, but instead of sitting on swords they use dead people" isn't exactly an indicator of staunch heroism. We don't know that she's irredeemably awful, but "vaguely naughty" seems like a safe bet.

    Ominous dialogue? Check.

    Ominous sitting position? Check.

    Throne made out of dead people? Check.

    Partying around with a character whose other incarnation was amoral at best? Check.

    Sinister shadows? Check.

    Remind me again, how many cybertronian heroes/good guys were introduced like this?

    The only other one I can think of is Liege Maximo... oh wait.

    Haha... How does that in any way make her good?

    Personally, I don't think you can actually tell from that page what she is exactly, but we can safely take 'cuddly' out of the list.

    Sorry if this has already been addressed:

    So Elita-1 is clearly piloting a titan. Titans carry sparks to populate new colonies. What if Elita-1 hijacked the titan, killed its crew, and then she would be the first transformer from the point of view of the new sparks.

    That's what I was hoping for all the time! Generations gives us the possibility to get all the cool characters in the same Classic design, while otherwise they would not share the same aesthetic. I also would be interested in a proper Generations Bulkhead :)  I'd be even fine with a Deluxe, as long as he got the look. Maybe give her Miko in Apex Armor :D

    It took me 20 minutes to find out where Obsidian is. I knew he had to be to her left, but I did only see some garbage which could belong to the throne or the background. Until I tried to get my head around the idea, that the garbage could actually be Obsidian.

    Is he from Beastmachines or something? Obsidian sounds kind of familiar.

    It had what looked like a city on its underbelly...

    Plus Metroplex was specifically trying to lock onto lost colonies which by this point have been defined by titans.

    I don't think he's dead. Before this recent plot device he and Jhiaxus were the only 2 with any idea on how to make combiners. Plus you'd think the "I have proof" comment before "dying" is Barber's version of foreshadowing.

    If not then it still makes sense given Hasbro's recent tactics with Combiner teams....

    Alpha Bravo for Slingshot
    Offroad for Wildrider
    Rook for Groove
    Now ????? For Swindle?

    That would make Obsidian #2 (insert poop joke).

    Thank god this event is finally over.

    The highlight of this was Prowl and the rest of Optimus Maximus all talking to each other. Though it kind of feels like Prowl finally discovered the true meaning of friendship.....it's kind of weird when you think about it.

    The last page was the only great thing of this event.

    DAT GOT Evil Elita-1.

    DAT Knockout and Moonracer on Veolocitron.

    DAT Tigatron and Airrazor.

    The Windblade ongoing will no doubt be a lot more interesting and exciting getting to see more of these characters.

    Did I say she was good? My issue is with people assuming. Now they're assuming that I'm assuming.

    But if she's from the same beginning as Galvatron then what even counts as good and evil back then?
