Just on the megatron/whirl front, is there any possibility Megatron knows more about his origin than he lets on? It would be a damn good reason to keep whirl alive all this time, though if I think about it too much it seems like a contrivance too far and is rather it wasn't the case. I think there a...

Absolutely loved this. I haven't got too much to say just yet, but I do love that it's the origin story of both the Lost Light and the Sparkeater discovered in the first arc. So much more to enjoy and ponder over as well. Yes there are lots of plot threads closed, but it's also opened up others and ...

appearance that ruins my theory, oh well. In issue 1 (rereading, not some weird perfect recall thing) tailgate is thinking about Rungian self analysis 6 million years ago, but there's no reason why rung can't jump even further into the past before this arc is done, is there? I like the theory, thou...

It's out, I have it. Want to read it again before commenting in case I'm letting my inner fanboy get in the way of reality...

Ok, on a completely different tack, but since we're on the topic of unresolved plots and details, here's something that's amused me for a while... I'm reasonably convinced that Tailgate doesn't know Whirl's name. In issue one he was introduced as "Nut-Job" to Tailgate, and ever since then ...

3) Rung also has the little scene in Tyrest's prison when Brainstorm is explaining the attention deflectors, he dismisses it as something Rung wouldn't understand and gets the retort "you'd be surprised". At the time I thought it was just an "I'm not stupid", but Rung has been pr...

Yeah, combiner wars is hasbro's big thing in 2015 isn't it? Lots of protectobots on the Lost Light too... I like plenty of the themes and issues that RID deals with, but the writing itself is IMO not great. Compare the bits bringing returning characters (and readers) up to date between this and MTMT...

My read on it all is that he's not a Decepticon. That badge is there to get out of sticky situations and that gamble, of course, failed this time. He abuses his superweapons and undo buttons all the time to get free drinks and mess people around because he is a devious sociopath. At the end we see ...

Ok, quick thought having just reached issue 28 on my re-read. The first real page has Brainstorm discussing his colour coded good/bad gun, with Nautica dismissing moral absolutism etc etc. Given the possible revelation about Brainstorm now, why would he be interested in developing a weapon like that...

Apologies if it's been posted somewhere already, but I just spotted on another forum that all the IDW Transformers comics on Comixology have been made DRM free. You can download in .pdf and .cbz . I've just checked my account and everything's there, dating back to LSOTW in my case, but seems to be t...

Yeah I hadn't considered the briefcase... I'm also struggling to see the connection between how the briefcase worked for Nightbeat and Nautica vs how it worked for Brainstorm at the end. Different briefcase? I agree that we don't need another Overlord story (at least in the short term) as there are ...

I thought this was brilliant. Really well done. And... I am also a little confused about the change in the message thats spoken of here. The original message in issue 1 is the message that the alternate rewind sends, correct? But there is talk here of that being changed but all I can remember form ...

Mind, I suspect it'll be more of a Sophie's Choice thing, bring back "Their" crew but they have to sacrifice Rewind to do it. Yeah, I think that's likely. It'd be interesting to see if this Rewind still makes the dramatic sacrifice or if the events that have unfolded in this version make ...

What if instead of being a quantum duplicate thing it's actually the universe/timeline being re-edited (a la Nightbeat's suggestion) It would tie in with Rung's comments in his conversation with Megatron, and possibly with Brainstorm's briefcase as well? Opening the briefcase could have been constru...

Don't think the original portal came out as a standalone game for xbox 360, so you need to look for The Orange Box, should be able to pick up for under a tenner on eBay...

SPOILERS Maybe I've got rose tinted glasses with this series - as have plenty of other people, I'm sure - but I'm still absolutely loving it. It's maybe less "fun" than the early arcs and trying to cram in a lot of story but it's absolutely fascinating. Plenty of scenes showing Megatron as...

Remind me, how many countries play in the baseball world series again? That's rounders with a longer bat, right? ;) On topic though, I was really not getting excited about this tournament up until probably a week or so before it, but apart from the odd duff match and the misery of watching England ...

I could be wrong but I'm sure I saw 25th somewhere, with Windblade and RID filling the next 2 weeks...

The news made me sad :-(

I can completely feel the heat of that pain & jealousy Mike, that guy needs to die, jumping from franchise to franchise and getting all the good stuff just like that. They don't even try and they get everything! Annoyingly - or reassuringly for those not still consumed by bitter jealousy - in s...

But how did you get the Aerialbots gift set? I didn't think those sets were available in the UK, we had to buy our Gestalt members separately.

You're forgetting the wondrous Aladdin's cave (or rather catalogue) of Argos. 11 months of pocket money went on that set one summer holiday...
