I got to see a match where Lance Steel, time traveling valiant knight from the past, fought Lance Steel, time traveling evil knight from ten minutes later, to see who got to stay in the present. Really impressive fight choreography and barely takes itself seriously.

Ha! Darkness Crabtree is the best. His gimmick is he's really old. And I think that's the good Lance Steel.

So old that he passed away a couple years back and left all his savings to his nephew, a yacht rock loving party boy who brings fruit baskets to the ring to give to his opponents. And Lance Steel's time antics are practically child's play compared to the twisted knot that is Archibald Peck's timeline.

If it's anything it is probably a reference to Plato's Republic which talks about the concepts of the real and metaphysical world and uses the analogy of a man in the cave. But it is totally a callback to the 90's Hideo Kojima game Snatchers where Plato's Cave was a bar you went to as part of the case.

Plato's Allegory of The Cave, also they are cavemen and everything is rock and cave puns. Not everything needs to have 50 layers of meaning.

It's from the Transformers: Revolution oneshot, where Revolution is IDW's big event Hasbro property shared universe crossover for the season. Dire wraiths from Rom Spaceknight are attacking the White House, and previously occurring Transformers characters Giant Blue Jetman and Gunshooty Lady are trying to be bad enough dudes to rescue the President. Tom Scioli's GI Joe vs Transformers is a different continuity altogether.

Also in the IDW Transformers continuity, Thundercracker is a colossal dork with a cute dog and atrocious screenwriting chops who's decided to live on Earth because he was never 100% into the war and fell in love with human culture (soap operas in particular).

Thundercracker also stars along with his adorable dog Buster in his own Christmas special which is his turn at writing a children's story but ends up becoming film noir and attempting to murder Father Christmas
