on the subject of Megatron’s fights with Whirl and Tarn. I think Megatron let Tarn tear him apart. as a sort of self inflicted penance. Megatron let Tarn blow his chest open, because he felt he deserved it.
on the subject of future bodycount
out of Nautica’s Amica group, im pretty sure Skids and Brainstorm are gonna bite it. and there will probably be a fake out near death involving Nautica herself.
I just got to start off and saying this about the “Till All Are One” Comic
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
I could not be more happy !!! I love the comic cover!!! I loved the fact you guys went to the G1 comics for the idea and picked Issue 17 as a theme. It is one of my favorite covers from the G1 comic series, not to mention one of my favorite story arcs. I loved the choice of using Starscream and Windblade !! As the Straxus and Blaster !! I can’t wait to get this one. It will be a great addition to any comic collection. But my growing comic empire will definitely be well benefited for it joining. ( Speaking of which my collection is close to reaching the 1,300 individual comic mark. Not including Trade Paper Backs. I hope to reach at least 1,500 by end of the year.)
Of the figures you spoke of I am most excited about the Tarn. I sadly haven’t gotten the other members of the DJD from MMC. Something I hope to remedy by the end of this year. I really think MMC is one of the better 3rd party companies out there. I have the Spartan and Gundog and love them.
Speaking on that is there any thing out there as to if Badcube will release another run of Sunsurge? I wanted to order one but when I finally was able to he was sold out everywhere. I have seen a few on Ebay but for 130 or more. I really want to add this guy to my collection.
Now to speak on the comics…
As for you question of Issue 53 .. I really hope none of the crew is lost. Though if any were I do kind of agree my main one I think will be Brainstorm. As much as I like the character I do think he might sacrifice himself or something as atonement for what he put the crew through. However I kind of expect that the Lost Light will return and rescue the crew. Maybe another Mutiny on Gateway? I just don’t see them staying off the ship long. Though it does make things easier for James to have fewer character to work with in development and such. That is one thing I think hurts things in comics is having so many characters in the comic and so little room in the comic to work with. Granted that is what makes a series. Which is something I do wish Deviations could be. It would make a pretty good story I would think.
As for the turbofox identity being revealed. Somehow I am not too surprised. I had 3 ideas as to what happened to Domimus. I kind of figured long ago he was the Agent 113. I guessed he could be one of three characters. Tarn , Nickel , or the Turbofox. I mean could you have imaged 3 better places to hide in the DJD? Though I had hopes he was Tarn maybe going full on, that is if he wan’t Roller. And Nickel would be a great cover to hide as. Though I was maybe 30-40% into the Turbofox idea. Though the story they used does make sense as to the reason for no new info in so long. (Though the Tarn theory could explain that too, if he had gone full in or got too deep undercover.)
Sorry for the long Comment guys, but wanted to voice my opinion on things. Keep up the great work .
The Toyworld not-Springer is much larger than the Generations, so I dont see them as being in competition. They are not meant to be on the same shelf. This is MP size and Studio Ox style. The Generations Voyager would never be on a MP shelf of a discerning collector. It’s not the right size or style.
generations Springer is on my MP shelf. He’s autobot car sized (Voyager) toy world one isn’t going in my home. I don’t find it appealing in the slightest. . (Who are you to tell me what goes on which of my shelves? )
-end rant number 1-
I’m close call studios BTW. i have been at 5 dollar patreon level from the start but when I went to check my mailing address I inadvertently went down to 2 dollars then corrected. I’m not sure what inspired you to commission a cover. But I’m glad patreon folks get first dibs.
To Charles and Jeremy. I feel a touch disappointed in your reaction to issue 53. I expect disinterest in story from Daryl.
MTMTE is different from other TF books in the fact that it’s NOT mostly about fighting. It’s like you’re expecting it to be something it’s never been. FFS you’re not even excited by two HUGE mysteries finally solved? Watch the bay movies if you want senseless fighting all the time. ;P I’m mostly kidding. Mostly.
Keep up the good work.
We know who you are Drew. At least Charles and I do. I think I just felt disappointed because I had built them up so much in my mind that there wasn’t going to be a good way to fulfill that in the book. I should probably go back and reread a bunch of the books again.
Thanks for the Patron support! We are probably crazy for doing the comic cover but its something that we haven’t seen any other podcast do and with your support it was a realistic goal. I hope we will be able to do it again!
