That's right, Optimus suicides over killing imaginary bean men.

Seeing the pictures in context, it's not as dumb as I was lead to believe. After all, the bean men are screaming for their lives.
Secondly as a giant robot, Optimus definition of life I guess expands to other electronic beings. Even scrubs in computer games.

1) I wish Todd Nuack had drawn those pages. He would have been contractually obliged to sneak in a Tom Servo and Crow cameo in.

2) Did Storm just steal Warbird's costume?

Awesome panels otherwise.

That'd be webcartoonist David Wilis. Not that he writes everything in the TF wiki, just huge swathes of it, and he was largely responsible for its initial tone.

As far as I see it, when I think of Ms Marvel, I see her in the red costume.
When I hear Captain Marvel I think of her in her current outfit.
When I hear Binary or Warbird, I see the Black costume with the Samus Aran symbol. And sometimes the outfit with the Hockey Pads.

No, it's pretty dumb + it's a bad comic. I don't remember if the blonde kid knows about the cheat code, but even if he doesn't there's at least someone should ask the valid question how Megatron could reverse.

He got better, thanks to Ratchet's body massage skills.

Transformers also had an issue where two robots went around as pretenders and one of them had the chance to have sex but didn't.

The robot, Cloudburst, is the one on the left.

Who the gently caress goes yaaay while killing dragons? Anyways here's a funny moment from Cataclysm #3. As you may know, Galactus is in the Ultimate universe and is about toe destroy the Earth. Ultimate Spidey and Evil Reed Richards end up traveling to 616 to find information on how to stop Galactus. They manage to find it (in the Baxter building) but Valeria catches them in the act and activates the building's defense mechanisms/herbies. Miles attempts to escape:

Short of Transformers: Action Masters*, Pretenders are the worst gimmick. The toys are lame, the gimmick is dumb and the way they were introduced in the comic makes no sense. The one interesting thing about them - how the personalities of the Pretender shell and robot sometimes differed - was never touched upon in the comic.

*"Action Masters" are Transformers that don't transform. It hinged entirely on that people would buy "Optimus Prime" et.c. that didn't transform just based on brand recognition.

The best part of all that is Spock's costume is a giant gently caress you to Ben Reilly and Miles by basically combining their costumes into one.
