It's Out!

And soooo... Awesome.

Two issues have turned Swerve from a nobody to incredibly awesome. LOVE him. And his vehicle mode is SOOO cute too. He's now jumped WAAAAAY up the list of characters I want Hasbro to do a new figure of.

And never have I been so happy at a vicious death threat, but boy does Whirl deserve it. That was a great moment,

Oh, so much coolness to talk about here but so little time to type right now.

BRAVO.


ZacWilliam, reclaiming the suffix aside, I'd go Crusaderbot first myself... More comments when time allows.

Something that's seriously bugging me - how the hell was Tailgate meant to have survived SIX MILLION YEARS in a hole without so much as a corroded paint job (beyond the damage he'd already sustained), or death of energon depletion*? With the Stormbringer "death" of Cybertron, centuries of Cybertronian-hostile conditions and the post-Chaos "rebirth" of the planet in-between, no less.

*Even if he'd used everything from his "bomb" - which he clearly didn't - his spark should surely have been extinguished.

He wasn't operational for all that time. Not even close. The moments we see, lasting a few minutes, were likely his entire span of operation across those millions of years. The rest of the time was complete shutdown that used next to no Energon. Assuming Energon doesn't decay when not in use. And all of TF history tells us it doesn't (remember the Ark crew's multimillion year nap) then it sat in him all that time and only used a bit here and there when he woke for a few moments and then went out again.


-ZacWilliam, given the Ark backstory it happens ALL THE TIME in TF fiction, as for the environment, assume he was deep enough underground that it wasn't an issue.

Yeah, they kind of explain it in this issue. Swerve of basically "You slept for millions of years!"
