Rhyno posted:Something is clearly wrong with Megatron. My guess is the Fool's Energon is making him unstable and he knows that a dose of true energon would physically restore him but might turn him back into the monster he was. So he'll probably dose back up, crush the DJD but he'll be evil again and won't come back to the ship with the rest of them. The fool's energon didn't stop him from being evil though. He only started taking it after he had a desire to redeem himself. Bumblebee's death, wearing the Autobot badge, the trial. All of which he was on regular energon.

The fool's energon is going to make things pretty difficult in the short term, though. Who was the green Skids/Crosscut guy standing with those other guys? Also, no going back from all these things. Those things are serious things that happened and are about to happen. Things won't be going back to normal after this.

The whole arc raises a host of uncomfortable (in a good way) questions on crime, punishment, justice, mental illness, and rehabilitation, with no easy answers. I'm just glad Ravage made it back in one piece because I honestly thought Tarn was going to waste him there and then.

Before I forget again I thought I would share this little vintage transforming guy I have in the collection. He's from a Japanese company called Select, which I haven't located any info on from light searching yet, but with a name like that it makes googling darn tricky.  And yes, the roller spins when you pull the lever  Rhyno posted:Good question. I rather like that between this and TF Prime we're getting a reformed Megatron theme in the fictions. Having a character that can see the consequences of what they have done and have to deal with them is a really cool thing for them to explore. While I'm not keeping much of an eye on the new RID cartoon I hope they bring that at some point. Give the kids some perspective in their cartoons. I also hope for the IDW comics they keep him as he is, or at least make sure to never get dumb and lazy and have him go back to monstrous dictator whatever road he takes.

Between the Hasbro and Takara Hardhead Headmaster are there any big differences between the two? I'm thinking of getting the Takara one because I have a better chance of getting that version then trying to find the Hasbro version at a decent price.

Didn't Megatron also face some kind of actual justice at the end of Animated (rather than getting blown up)? More kid's shows should steer away from the Disney "bad guy dies in a way that's not directly the hero's fault" ending. Like I always wondered who told Gaston's mom that her baby is dead 15 minutes after the end of Beauty and the Beast.

Assuming the comics cross over again in the next couple years, I think the comics may be leading to a "heroic" (he did a lot of poo poo and is still space-racist against organics) Megatron versus a new Nemesis Prime. Optimus has been saying and doing a lot of the same things the previous Nemesis. Nova was the leader of the winning faction in a brutal civil war, and once that was done, left Cybertron to "bring the gift of freedom" to other worlds. BTW, on the Megatron side of this, did the interrupted attempt to rewrite his mind come across as a likely source of his evil descent? It certainly gives them an out to pass the moral blame of his actions.

I can't believe it Hoist. Why? What the gently caress man? But yea I'm curious as to how things are going to go down and like...what leads to those last words messages received at the beginning of the issue. Also I have faith Prime will be able to keep himself held high and out of the horrible Prime legacy he fought against. I want him and Megatron to be this weird kind of friends in the future.

I can see autobots not wanting Rodimus to be leader, but letting fellow autobots, including the likes of Chromedome, Rewind, and Swerve, face a fate worse than death at the hands of the DJD... not sure I can accept that. Also, Getaway is really serious about finding the knights, but I had the impression that most of the LL crew don't even think they're real and just did not want to be on Cybertron.

Never knowing if how I feel or think now is how I've always felt or thought. And Getaway lost the moral high ground when he sent an innocent on a poorly planned suicide mission and the best outcome was that Tailgate was brutally slagged by a panicked Megatron. Like, what if it was Ravage who nailed the poor little bastard? You'd make Megatron look more reasonable.

Plus Velocity and Tailgate are pretty much complete innocents in it all - they weren't present for the war, they didn't experience it, it lacks the meaning and context the others have from living through it. As far as they know, Megatron is this stern guy with the awful rep and weight of history on his shoulders but their only actual interactions with him is completely at odds with all that, he's basically Ultra Magnus Mk II. And from the DJD side, trying to kill Ravage is bullshit too, he's just trying to help Megatron return to his 'senses'. Basically, gently caress everyone not in the Rodpod.

Nautica and Velocity just seem like unfortunate casualties in Getaway's plan. They weren't involved in the war at all, so of course they wouldn't feel so strongly about bringing Megatron on board that they'd declare they would support a mutiny. And Ten just got the rawest deal of all.

I've been organizing my comic collection recently, and I need a little help identifying a signature. I have Regeneration One #80.5, signed by Simon Furman, Stephen Baskerville, Jason Cardy, Andrew Wildman and then there is this fifth signature over on the side that I can't seen to place. Any help? I'm thinking it must be John-Paul Bove, but it doesn't seem to look like any of his other signatures.

There was some weird hinting back in the alternate timeline that Rung might have a function of some sort, but he probably wouldn't like that being found out because of politics. I wonder what Prowl's secret shadow government network is like these days if Getaway has been doing this on his own. I coulda sworn that they've done this whole funeral message thing before, though.
