Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

Sad me is sad. My local still have no word on when the delayed shipment of IDW's December comics will show up.

When you first suggested Prowl might be behind Overlord, I didn't think it was likely at all. Having read RID #13, I've now revised that opinion. But I'm hoping it's Guzzle.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

If it is Prowl who is doing all this (in both series) there better damn well be a good explanation why he's gone rogue and wears an Autobot badge instead of Decepticon one.

Granted, Prowl is cunning and conniving. But he ain't no 'Con. I'm trying to think back in IDW's continuity where something might have happened along the way to make him so much of a backstabber.

I'm almost willing to accept the whole "Bombshell mind-control" explanation for fear there won't be a better one.

What bothers me more, if this truly is the way Prowl is going, is the way Starscream is headed. Screamer has never been good. Never. He's been the ultimate bad guy. (except that time he wished everyone a 'Merry Chirstmas' when he found Jesus). It's one thing to make Prowl bad. It's even worse to make Screamer good.
"But the Costa story featuring Starscream? Fantastic! This guy is "The One", I just know it, just from these few pages. "--Yaya, who is never wrong.

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.
