Puns in Transformers

Post by Auntie Slag »

I'm sure there was a story or a back page 'Next Week' bit of blurb that featured the headline 'Constructicon time again'. I never got the pun until now, but I love it.

There must be loads of others. I know the Roberts/Roche team work loads into their stories, but are there any more off the top of your head?

"Frying tonight!"

Facsimiles called Fleming and Markham in the Soundwave Spotlight. The later of which is especially clever as Robert Markham wasn't real either.

Just about any comic story title you'd care to mention.

I think issue 20 of the UK comic deserves special mention for being the first to get a shocking pun on the cover.
