Weeeeeell, I'll be working that day, it's time for me to bribe the comic book store again, lol
What talk of D6 be this? =O I think the ship's P-6 rather, as in Phase 6 |
At times I wasnt sure whether it was written as P-6 or D-6. Then I saw it was definitely P-6. |
gah! your right, its D-class, P-6, confused again! _________________

Who said the annual was delayed to September? We don't have any release dates beyond August 22nd, and there's still the 29th left. _________________ Cattleprod's guide to upcoming releases.

| I'd like to see more of the other characters on the lost light like blaster etc. at least in minor support roles, it just seems like their there only as b/g filler. If they aren't going to be used then why are they on board? |

Well, you can't tell a story at once giving everyone equal time. It's only been 8 issues...maybe in issue 15, Hoist gets a story  _________________

=D There's actually a thread in the forum of folk asking who they'd like to see more of
Buuuut, with a crew of 208, and all of us hoping to see the comic reach a milestone 100, there has to be room for everyone to blossom out in time
James Roberts did confirm the main crew will have rotating spotlights, so we'll likely see folks being drafted in bit by bit, Pipes was a recent addition, so, we'll see who takes the spotlight next =B
But I'm guessing, that when Roberts and Barber divided up the playboard between their comics, each one that was chosen was chosen for a good reason, so time will tell _________________ I'm a pony!

I wonder how that dividing went. Did they roll a dice? Fought in the mountains?  _________________

>D They should've had a Botshots tournament
Hee, well, it sounds like they agreed very democratically about who would go where and why with good enough reason to each
I'm happy with the lineups on either side, although I do wish that the Lost Light had some 'cons, it seems my wish has been fulfilled with this very issue that we see some cons take up page time to themselves, I'll be very happy if we could keep them on =3
I'd have loved some bigger name cons like Ravage and Soundwave or such, buuuut I own Flywheels, so I'm happy with the new recruits thus far, even if they'll be a rival ship, lol _________________ I'm a pony!

I'm sure all the IDW guys are friends with each other. They probably laugh every time they read our Barber vs. Roberts comments. _________________

I can’t help but feel that Roberts got the short end of the straw when it comes to “big names”. RID does have more veterans and well-known characters. I know that Roberts really wanted Wheeljack and some other characters but they were all vital to the RID storyline.
But I think he’s done a great job with what he’s got. Brainstorm, Chromedome, Swerve are among the characters I barely knew existed, but now I’m loving them. I think it’s great that less known characters get a chance to shine in MTME. But now that it has been mentioned - I do think it’s little weird that Blaster and Preceptor have such small roles.
Perhaps this will change, and perhaps there are more big names hiding among the crew of 200+ bots.
Is Wildrider in RID? I’d be one happy camper if his crazy aft showed up in MTME. He’d probably give Whirl a run for his money when it comes to holding the title of biggest nutcase on board. _________________

Say, I'm wondering if we might run into Springer and Roadbuster soon? Because we've already seen scenes set in the Klo system... and what else do we know that's in the Klo system?
(I hope we'll get to see Kaput too. He sounds like a wacky interesting character.) _________________

...and Springer will be wearing an Autobot symbol mask...
I would bet on seeing those two before the end of the year, actually, unless we get Impactor/Guzzle first... _________________ You exist because we allow it. You will end because we demand it.

Speaking of Zero Point... Remember my eye/spark colour theory? The story has it that the stronger your spark is, the brighter your eyes. Well, Misfire describes Fulcrum's eyes as "cloudy" (just like Springer's eyes were described as cloudy in Zero Point) and they're yellow. _________________
