gonna try livebloging the new tf comic series here instead of being a nusence in the gc so here's a thread for issue 1
i say this bc immedietly page one w the 'dad?' and that guy and op sharing an injury was very funny to me. big as your dad and he'll never die is he? we'll see about that
Soundwave was fighting dirty, he was fighting unfairly, because he has been holding onto that quiet, seething rage for Starscream. Beyond Starscream's faults, his failure to lead, and his damage to the decepticons, the sheer amount of brutality he's facing is from Soundwave's care for Ravage
All but one Vehicon trooper remains standing when Starscream turns to Soundwave and tells him they need to hurry. They both know mere Vehicons are no match for the Wrecker. Like Bulkhead says, “This is Wheeljack we’re talkin’ about.”
By the time the Autobots show up, not only has Wheeljack been subdued and removed from the scene, but Makeshift is in position too.
That was one very quick switch.
No one else besides Soundwave could have ambushed and subdued Wheeljack so quickly before the Autobots arrived.
This makes their confrontation in “Triage” more of a rematch:
First, Wheeljack goes against Ratchet’s wishes and wastes valuable time to chase and shoot down Laserbeak. Then, without hesitation, he goes after Soundwave alone. Wheeljack is petty; he’s not one to pass up a chance to get even with an enemy.
i promise i will be normal about space dad i promise i will be normal about space dad
seriously its two issues in and this book already rips, and is also surprisingly brutal? the decepticons have squished like, 8 Actual People and its wild.
i jus got my copy of #4 so i thought i'd do a quick on #3 bc i didnt have any perticular panels to share so i forgor
i'm deeply hoping Carly saying that not all transformers are on the same side starts actually being heard. 'kids know what's up and adults refuse to acknowlege' is such a frustrating trope for me. the chances of spike getting shot if they had listened etc etc at least it should be resolved if he lives (can you fucking imagine if they killed off teenage spike witwicky in issue three of transformers, that would be the wildest shit what a choice)
it'll be intersting to see going forward how the vibes between soundwave and starscream go. I wonder if here SW is mostly preoccupied with ravage still being injured from #1.
I'm hoping there'll be some unpredictiable element to why SS has such a bee in his bonet about megatron being mentioned ngl. he's taking it sooooo personally, like babe what did you do? did you crash this ship against his warning or what?
💀 okay (always really interesting to see how things get reffered to, this could have been 'hell' yk?)
I actually got spolied for the moment OP ripped his own arm off to do violence but god damn, having it be an actual pointed emotional moment was soo good
