It is fun while still maintaining a sense of danger, and death seems to matter unlike all my other comics.
solicits for issue six for both RID and MTMTE are out
for one, the artist for Autocracy and Chaos is doing the art for issue 6 of Robots in Disguise, and Nick Roche is back for More Than Meets The Eye #6!
big fucking spoilers (though somewhat predictable) behind the spoiler tag, you have been warned
Speculation is that the fan-favorites are the Dinobots and that Shockwave somehow has Grimlock, who has been missing from his cell since LSotW.
preview for RID #3!

Also, Barrel Roll was a minicon from 2010 with no prior fiction, neat he got some characterization

and Ramjet died at the end of his Spotlight in 2007, because he tried to rebel against Megatron and take his role as leader
To ruin my mood even more did they also kill off any of the Decpticon cassettes other than Ratbat?
Steam: betsuni7
fairly sure Ravage, Frenzy, and Rumble are all alive, Frenzy is questionable but probably alive

would be better than the g1 cartoon and marvel comic!
I loved the idea of a Decepticon who'd been granted amnesty, and wound up allying with the Maximals.
But then he did a heel-turn like an episode later, and got blown up.

so classy
aw man, that's super! tell us what you think when you get around to it!
Re: RID #3
Now I just need to find The Death of Optimus Prime.
dunno how reputable this place is (they don't even have the right cover for DoOP) and shipping is pricy but hrm
Like, on the previous page, Antimatter said: and I have no idea what that's in reference to, why it's relevant, or what's so interesting about two robo-dudes talking to each other.
I guess I feel a little embarassed about this, because I've been a tremendous fan of the toys for the last 20 years, but I've never paid much attention to the storylines or the characterization (except in Beast Wars, which I actually watched as it aired).
Tailgate's just been introduced in More Than Meets the Eye #1
Cyclonus has been around a few years now in IDW
Cyclonus was a member of an expedition 4 million years ago to expand Cybertronian control of space, and made it on the ship
Tailgate was introduced as someone who was going to be on that expedition with Cyclonus, but he got stuck underneath Cybertron's surface with broken off legs, didn't make it to the ship, and was waking up/falling asleep constantly over the course of 4 million years because of his damage
he was trying to get free and make it back to the surface to get to the ship, not knowing how long it took him to make any progress while he was moving because he had a broken chronometer
Tailgate only just got discovered after the Great War ended, and Tailgate knew nothing about Autobots or Decepticons because of the fact that he's been cut off from the rest of the Cybertronian society
Cyclonus and the expedition ended up doing their own crazy things off of Cybertron, and they only recently came back to interact with Cybertron proper
Cyclonus has a few more years of experience dealing with Autobots and Decepticons than Tailgate has, and he actually went on the expedition
so, Cyclonus has a chance to fill Tailgate in on things
Cyclonus's characterization and Tailgate's characterization actually aren't based on tech spec bios, thankfully
Tailgate here was a member of a bomb disposal team, and Cyclonus is a Cybertronian patriot who loves his planet
when in doubt, use the Transformers wiki
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cyclonus_(G1)#IDW_Generation_1_comics
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tailgate_(G1)#IDW_Generation_1_comics
See, when I saw Cyclonus in the comic, I was like "oh, right, the guy Unicron made by reformatting one of the Decepticons". So, in the IDW comics he has a separate identity?
The TF Wiki is my favorite wiki, if only because of the image captions. I usually don't delve too deeply into the character histories, though, because the histories from the various cartoons and comics often conflict, and I generally don't want to spend too much time trying to untangle what's what and where. Mostly because I don't read the comics. Which I don't read because I don't delve too deeply into character histories. I am aware of the cyclical nature of all this. (I plan to pick up the first trade of each of the two current Transformer series when they come out.)
Cyclonus, scourge, and galvatron are their own dudes

Roberts is still trying to give characterization to him, and almost the entire crew of the Lost Light
for example, Whirl was forced to leave the Wreckers, and we don't know why, and Rung mentions that Whirl did something to Springer, that we don't know what
Have you seen the Wheelie page?
Swerve is my new golden god. Swerve, Skids and ... we need one more for a holy Trinity. Rung 'The Eyebrows Have it' ... wait, this joke only works if there's a last name.

Barber said in an interview that he, personally, had plans for the ongoing for the next year in his head, while Roberts has enough to last 30 years
That is amazing.
That is the first bit of criticism I have had for either Transformers book thus far, impressive!
I thought it was pretty great! Starscream seems to be taking advantage of power vacuums pretty handily, and it's interesting to see him not be completely dishonest.

two weeks from now if there's a delay
Maybe I'll be able to find a shop to pick up RID 1-3 on Monday too. Oregon coast road trip! With a guy!
