Looks like not much is being left to the imagination in terms of Rewind and Overlord...

I'm now picturing Rodster and co. HELPING Fort Max tear Prowl to pieces if they ever get back to Cybertron.

It's a bit super-lame that Prowl's actions may be all because of Bombshell and not because Prowl's just a douche-nozzle. I prefer douche Prowl making phenomenally poor decisions over mind controlled Prowl.

Also, for the record, this line is awesome for a ton of reasons.

[spoiler]

"I'm upset! Doesn't anyone do upset anymore? What's wrong with you people? Is this a war thing?" - Tailgate.

This one bit of prose packs in so much sheer commentary about war, PTSD, desensitization to violence and death, Tailgate's naivete, and what millions of years of war does to a civilization, and does it so well it's almost poetic.

And then to juxtapose that with Chromedome's silence is perfect.

This issue needs to be released already.

Don't think Prowl got zapped with a cerebro-shell until after the lost light left.

Sweet. That means he really does deserve the Fort Max beatdown.

Yeah, Prowl only got Cerebro shelled in issue 4 of RID. Bombshell himself commented on how he found Prowl's memories damaged (From Chromedome's fight with him before the Lost Light left) - Prowl really does deserve it.

I'm all for giving Alex some time off but this new artist is a bit
naff. Not keen on his style at all.

I first saw that panel of Overlord floating in space when I was blind drunk the other night and for some reason it's really stuck in my mind. In, like, a horrible way. Nightmarish.

I was convinced Rewind would make it :( and I felt like there was more to come from Overlord. Alas.

Need this right now.

So I purchased and downloaded MTMTE #16 off Comixology and it gave me RiD #16 instead.

According to Nook over at IDW, the Comixology thing is fixed now.

I've got my paper copy in hand. It's good, though I'm not 100% sold on the art.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!
