Is anyone else reading this? The current issue has Inferno and Seaspray emerging from Cerebros alongside some Joes, a parrot, a pig and a cat with a rocket launcher to fight the inside of Trypticon's mouth, while on the other page, Megatron has turned Grimlock into a glove puppet. I know 'XXXX on acid' is a bit of a cliché, but this really is like Transformers on acid. I was massively confused because I thought it finished at 4 issues for a start, but this is just about the most bizarre thing I've seen in ages. I genuinely don't know what to think.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

I liken it to dumping all the toys outta your toybox as a kid, and creating a story that involves every toy.
It defies analysis. It almost dares you to believe that no such comic could possibly exist, and yet, there it is.

It's crazy fun, but I have lost track of what is going on

It reads almost like a Dreamwave story written in earnest, if not for the trippy self-awareness.

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.

Re: Transformers vs GI Joe
I've tried to reread it all again but I keep getting lost. It really is the strangest thing I've read in ages. I think the best part - and one that I hope they're trying out here to see how it plays in the wider continuity - is the idea of the humans launching an attack on Cybertron. That's something I've wanted to see for ages and to be honest it's kind of where I thought what used to be RID was going before all this stuff about the Macguffin of Combination being on Earth for some reason.Hound wrote:It's crazy fun, but I have lost track of what is going on
"Everybody Hates Metroplex" is the best title for a comic book ever. Metroplex is now a big starfish. I'm entertained and thoroughly baffled at the same time.

"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.
