I wonder how the Transformers vs GI Joe comic that was posted last year explained it. That comic loving kicked rear end.

Was there ever a storyline where the Decepticons try to change their name to improve PR or something?
Well, there was this, which seems surprisingly precedent to modern politics.

quote:

In his office, Shawn Berger watches the events and is infuriated, since he wants to be mayor so badly. He sends his guards out, claiming he needs to think. He picks up an odd-looking cassette on his desk, which transforms into Laserbeak. The Decepticon grabs Shawn and flies out of the office and then out of the city, towards a mountain ridge.

There, Megatron, Soundwave and Dirge await Shawn's arrival. Megatron tells Shawn that he can help get the power that he so desperately desires, even two cities if he wants. In return, Shawn must use his wealth, power and influence to help the Decepticons. Megatron tells Berger that, like many others, he's been blinded by Autobot propaganda. He persuades Berger into thinking the Decepticons are good and the Autobots are evil and that all he needs is evidence. Berger agrees to help, and Dirge takes him back to his office. After Berger's departure, Megatron tells Soundwave that Berger "thinks he will be king, but he will be nothing more than a pawn!"

That's part of what inspired my question. I remember that episode and I just can't imagine some guy hearing a group call themselves the Decepticons and thinking 'yeah maybe they are nice people'

Looks dry and flavorless, possibly just overcooked, with middle school lunch buns and almost unpickled cucumbers. So, alright bud.

I'm pretty sure an almost unpickled cucumber is called a half-sour. It's a real thing you can buy at the grocery store!

Anyone have Megahex that can send me (user username @gmail)/post page 62? I'm p sure that set of pages has been posted here before, but I bought the book off Google Play Books and that page has a giant black square through the bottom 2/3 of the page. I'm almost positive it's not intentional, since it cuts through the second two in the comic. Thanks.

I was about to send it, but I've got the Google play book and it's the same thing



Edit:
The ebook and hard copy must be different, that's not the same page that's blocked out in our books.

Have you considered getting in touch with Google or with the publisher? That sounds like an error they should fix.

The Property of Hate

The story is a bit vague at times, and it seems like maybe the author's first language isn't English, but it's hundreds of pages long and growing, and the amount of effort that must go into it is impressive. The art is sometimes pretty amazing.






Edit: There's also one about an interdimensional lesbian monster-figher, which is on the opposite end of the art spectrum from The Property of Hate, but which has a great story. I can't remember what it's called, oh, yeah, it's called Hitmen for Desinty, and it's found here: http://hitmen.thecomicseries.com

After submitting a query about this to Google play, they gave me some troubleshooting things, which didn't work, and just me $10 credit to the google play store. So if you haven't submitted an official complaint/query I'd recommend you do, $10 definitely outweighs not being able to read a page in a 220 page comic book imo.

Oh wow, no, I think I just sent them a request through the support link that may or may not be linked with my email. I was waffling on buying the other two books with my remaining rewards balance, but if they do the same for me then I'm definitely getting them. Thanks!
