Hello, one and all

Reports of MTMTE #14's indefinite delay have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, it's out next week. That being the case, I think we're due a teaser or two.

Songs, first of all. In all sorts of ways, issue #14 is the beginning of an eight-part story. The first 13 issues have lined up all the dominoes, and next week we're going to give the first one a little nudge and see what happens. It seems appropriate, then, to offer up a song that serves as a sort of theme. Think of the next eight issues as a movie, and this song playing (loudly) over the opening credits:

As for issue #14 itself, it's called 'Remembrance Day' (although I don't think the title can be found in the actual issue), and there's a separate prologue called... well, you can wait for that.

Here are two songs that echo the themes of the story:

Magazine's 'A Song From Under the Floorboards':

and 'Born of Frustration' by James:

And finally, some words:

"How many people know?"

"That Overlord's on board? Just [redacted] and the people in the room."

Hope you like the issue. It answers, ooh, at least a hundred questions.

Redacted ..... Prowl.
Unless ..... RID Prowl is actually Overlord, and MTMTE Overlord is Prowl.

James, we love you! It will be a long-long week!

It was likely Megatron who had Overlord put on the ship. Prolly using that Space Bridge tech from his old body. And of course Prowl was always tracking the ship so that's how the cons knew where to find it.

I don't think I've ever been this hyped for anything before. Seriously, thank you so much for this story. <3

Bloody FANTASTIC news. I'm a big fan, James. Your work is very, very much appreciated.

Can't wait.

I am so happy this is coming out!

And I sure wish I could see more of Blaster and Steeljaw.

Is 'Born of Frustration' a reference to the story or is it just that it involves the word 'frustration' in regard to waiting for the latest and greatest from James?

Good choice, btw...

You mean this one?

I'm not sure about Prowl's involvement in this, even after the revelations in RiD 14. Could it not have been Shockwave, as he sent the Reflectors through time on Turmoil's ship, that had more to do with it?

Still the cutest thing ever.
