Well, Springarm did have green eyes too. Along with a few others from CT.

I figured eye color was just the lens a particular bot chose. Kind of like the crystal in a lightsaber emitter.

STARRIORS!!

I always wanted a Grimlock/Dead-Eye battle.

I've got an old fan fic crossover I wrote in storage somewhere.

The Lost Light could encounter them.

The Predators all had green eyes in LSotW, and it was implied they were better suited to the region of space they had been based in (their color schemes were described as effective camouflage there).

This issue was amazing. For the love of all that's holy, guys, don't let this book get dark in tone, okay?
I hate, hate, hated seeing Trailbreaker 'get dissed'... which got me thinking. I'd love to see what his force-field can do. For example: why not have it Trailbreaker project it to originate *from within* a robot, effectively slicing it in half?

Take that Whirl!

got my copy, and I loved the character development and interactions.

swerve is just so funny! I love the blurr reference.

Whirl's quips crack me up and his "which half" has me rolling on the floor.

cyclonus and tailgate are best buds despite the problematic start.

rodimus...always the brave and full of guts.

drift is like in awe of rodimus!

Ultra Magnus needs to change from lawful good to chaotic good.

I love trailbreaker's usage of his shields, although he didn't appear at the final scene disappointed me a little.

skids and rung are so funny! and so is brainstorm's moment!

Looks like the roster just went down another few bots...

and I love the rhyme in the beginning, makes it creepy!

looking forward to more!

So, maybe Ratchet has a rare degenerative disease where the stiffness in his hands is only the first symptom. He'd know what the progression is likely to be. Maybe there's no point in replacing hands, because it would just be a knee next, or his back, or ... whatever. That would throw a new light on his farewell talk with Bumblebee. Say Ratchet knew that he was going to end up bedridden, paralyzed, and helpless, with his friends watching, unable to do anything for him. In that case, he might very well prefer to slip away with Hot Rod's crew. He could try to arrange for his successor, as he mentioned. And as he got closer to the time when he could no longer function -- well, knowing Rodimus's penchant for getting into scrapes, it probably wouldn't be very difficult to have an "accident." As for his personality change, I can imagine that facing imminent mortality might be even more difficult for a Tf than for us humans. He would feel cheated of his immortality.

Swan song indeed.

I'm calling it now.

Ratchet ends up making a deal with the Robot Devil for a new set of hands. He becomes great with a holophoner.

If Ratchet dies I'll be pisssssseeeeed. And not in a good way. Seriously, this title has a vitality to it and to start knocking off characters reeks of formulaic marvel comics: don't do it -- the tension between he and Drift is too great. After all, how many Autobots did Ratchet tend to or see die because of Drift? It'd be much better if Ratchet became an aggressor towards Drift.

Also, I positively loved seeing Rodimus man up to Magnus. Nice touch.

Maybe if I squint... Confused

Springarm's religious though. Wonder if it's a Primus thing?

Although Rewind doesn't have green eyes...

Say, I'm starting to wonder if the tracer was really the only thing Prowl planned. Because things don't quite add up. Why would he say that he "already made the modifications"? Modifications to what? And would he really refer to a small thing like the tracer as "the cargo"? Plus, if the call he made was to the Duobots, he'd have made it before they went on board - why would Ore still hold his communicator in his hand in the engine room?

I still think there was something in the way Prowl said 'I'm serious, I'm always serious' and then that's swiftly followed up by Brainstorm saying 'I'm nearly always serious'.

He does, after all, have that freaky briefcase...
