Yeeesh.

I'd like to introduce that man's noggin to a sledgehammer.

Seriously.

EDIT: I just read it, and regardless of what you may think of my mental age, all I can say is...nothing can overcome the hilarity of the fact that we just saw Electro impale Jolt on his shaft.

(I know it's "Shaft Saber", but still...)

Other notables silliness are that damn kid's facial expression in the upper right corner of page 17 (Well okay, every single one of his facial expressions in the entire comic), but fortunately Electro does the right thing by smacking him on the nads on page 18, although it doesn't help a bit...

Despite the UK issue #86 being similar in that it was basically just all about two giant robots fighting, at least the dialogue didn't make me want to

a lot.

I was this close to having Junpei say "mondo tubuloso" but my judgement got the better of me so I changed it to "Boss" or something like that.

Be grateful.

Note: when you used some alternative, I still pictured him saying 'Awesome' or 'Cool'.

So yes, I agree, this comic sucks...balls...through a garden hose.

You need to translate the final issue of the Victory manga. Ever since I heard about those civilian decepticons, I've wanted to see it!

Well, unless you count Inflatable Dalek wanting me to translate the story where the Decepticons hunt and kill a dog. But nobody counts Inflatable Dalek.

If you'd have listened to me we'd all have joined in singing dog death praises and no one would have cared about the names.

Yeeesh.

I've skimmed the start... Is the whole thread just ten pages of you and that guy going "Japanese names!" "What's wrong with using the English names?" "Japanese names!!!!" over and over?

So where's the obligatory manga where decepticons break children's toys, give the finger to homeless kittens and tackle grannies on zimmer frames just like every not-self-respecting eeeeeeeeeeevil villain should do?

More Generation 2, this time story pages from (I think) TV Magazine...

No kittens that I noticed.

And I'm putting off the dead dog issue because there's a section where the dog speaks and all his words are written in katakana which makes it really tough to read.

I'll translate for you:

Before Megs starts to eat him: Woof.

During: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
