Was that a thing in the cartoon? Or was it just in the comic? I still have never actually gotten around to reading Hama's GI Joe run. I don't remember it being a thing in the Sunbow cartoon, if it was.

It's from his Bio card:

I think he might have done it like once in the toon but my memory of the early cartoon isn't super detailed and he was a pretty small part of it.

-ZacWilliam, I think the General idea is he likes to think himself cultured but his poetry is crap.

Void Rivals #22 is out!

It's another solid issue! This one's mostly action across a few different storylines. Things are slowly coming to a head, right before we head into the Quintesson War. I have a feeling the next issue is going to be a big one. Again, it's not necessarily reading for Transformers-only fans. But, it has drastically improved over it's humble beginnings.

On the Cobra-La side of things, they've landed on the planet Quintessa in order to infiltrate the Quintessons. And...Grakula's armor is starting to come to life. Yeah...that's weird. I'm sure that's a reference to something specific, but I'm not sure what. Grakula (from WAAAY back in issue #15) doesn't seem to worried about it, and actually seems to welcome her new...pet? Maybe this is the start of the Pretenders in this universe, who knows?

Meanwhile, in Agorria, Springer and Hot Rod are in the middle of a fight with Proximus and his troops. It's not going well.

It's all out war between the Zertonians and Agorrians! It's not the best battle between two armies I've ever seen. But, I appreciate the attempt.

Solila tries to talk sense into Proximus, since they both want to achieve Unity. But, Proximus and Zalilak are both convinced that Unity can only come through subjugation. Oh, what bitter irony! Oh, what political commentary!

Also, I guess Solila's connection to Zerta gives her the backstory on everyone on the planet. Because she acts like she actually knows Proximus. Maybe it's because they've met before and Proximus just forgot. But, I think she just has access to everyone's tech specs inside her head, personally.

Meanwhile, in Skuxxoidland...Scarred Skuxxoid confronts Skuxxoid Alpha about his origins. Turns out Scar is actually the first "bud" Alpha ever created, he's Skuxxoid Beta! Alpha wants his Rockeroid back, since it's supposed to be the flagship of his armada. But, when Beta/Scar asks about what happened to their family, Alpha orders him sent away to the Divider! This is actually a annoyingly interesting scene. There's some legitimately interesting drama going on here. Alpha seems to actually be in pain due to the memory of whatever happened to their family. It's just baffling that this is happening to Skuxxoid of all characters.

Back in Agorria, the battle's not going well for our heroes. But then, EVERYONE'S forehead energon gems start glowing, and everyone on the battlefield has a massive headache. UNITY HAS BEGUN! ....Apparently. It's unclear what triggered this. Strange. Interesting, but strange.

Over in the letters page, Kirkman gets a little cagey when asked about a certain character starting with the 21st letter of the alphabet showing up, as the "enemy" the Goliant was designed to defend against. (It's "U", by the way). So...hmm...who COULD it be, who COULD it be...

Quintesson War starts in issue #25. So, this arc is probably going to be wrapping up with a few big reveals beforehand.

I've been enjoying all three of the titles.....I just wish we had more Void Rivals toys on the way....I didn't want to buy Jetfire again, but I would love Darak and Solila as well as some of the other characters.
