When the **** is 32 out?

[snarl]

RiD obviously.

I love me some RiD.

[Best First]

some hot firm RiD. Mmmm.

Can't seem to find any indication as to when MTMTE #32 is out.

Think Prmacy is out today so... uh. pfft.

[snarl]

Hmm... could go to FP, read it there then [composite word including 'f*ck'] off without paying for it.

FYI, I now live literally 10 mins walk from you London Offices.

I.E. beers when you're next down.

[snarl]

TWENTY - ******* - SEVENTH OF AUGUST?!?!?!

I picked the wrong month to give up heroin.

[Best First]

RID is next week.

Someone is ****ing with us.

"What's that fake flying R2-D2?"

"Bwooooooop!!"

"Yep - what a load of horse cock"

[Professor Smooth]

MTMTE 32 is out in two weeks. It's supposed to be very sad. Don't know how to feel about that...

You know what? I should get my wife, who could not possibly care less about Transformers but love comics to read this series. I could enjoy the series thus far vicariously through her!

[Metal Vendetta]

I feel like I could quote large chunks of Trainspotting at this point. The only consolation is that if IDW stay true to form, MTMTE will be the first one out next month, which (hopefully) means that it will only be one or two weeks between #32 and #33...then another six week wait

[bumblemusprime]

Going by the preview... it is coming out late because Alex has drawn the MOST ******* AMAZING TWO PAGE SPREAD since Marilyn first met Hefner.

In the meanwhile everyone needs to go and read bumfacelemus's fan nuggets which glint like Springer's eyes;

Ooh, I like the Rung/Drift one. I'll have to have a look through the rest.

Thank you. And holy ******* ****!

[bumblemusprime]

Tah morrow.

[Best First]

Nope ****ing RID - a whole different brand of horror.

[snarl]

Garbage - like getting hot **** in my eyes.

The crack takers on the IDW board love it.

[bumblemusprime]

This just came out! Like twice! Why is RiD coming out of a ******* fire hose and MTMTE is a month late?????!!!???

[Yaya]

Didn't you get it?

Last issue half the ship had disappeared.

This issue the issue itself disappeared.

Awesomely meta!

Lol. Sigh.

[Metal Vendetta]

I have to share this if you haven't seen it. Also, this.

"Ridiculous giant robots in space Flying around in giant versions of their heads" (credit thefinger****ingfemalefury) is now my second favourite description of MtMtE after McFeely's "Sad robots in space talking about their feelings".

[snarl]

There's no way that's coincidence.

[Best First]

tomorrow mofos.

Anybody know what those red stick things are on the Lost Light?

[Hound]

Great issue. I think I get what is going on now

*spoilers*

Somehow the DJD have encountered the past version of the Lost Light during the period when Overlord was on board and slaughtered the entire crew, which is why only the new crew members are around in the present day (although I've noticed that Bluestreak is missing). Paradoxes and all that.

[Hound]

I can't stop thinking about this issue! I have a theory on what happens next...

The crew will need to abuse the weird things happening with space and time to prevent this from happening. To try and stop the DJD would be pure madness, so I think they will try and get the Lost Light before the DJD arrive and somehow free Overlord, thus preventing the DJD from coming on board and freeing up Overlord for a future encounter with the DJD and hopefully Megatron

I don't think that Overlord and Rewind surviving will cause any massive paradoxes with the story so far?

[Best First]

aaah - that is not where my mind was going at all.

I assumed it was a parralel version of the Lost Light - Crosscut's play suggested that, if it is "our" lost light, it is from the future. But if it is "our" lost light from the future then Overlord cannot be onboard.

But your whole winking out of time thing kind of makes sense apart from the poster. Hmm...

The Megs/Ravage stuff was immense. I have dreamed of a scene like that since The Enemy Within which must be almost 30 years ago.

I think i will need the real issue rather than be squinting at my wankerphone to appreciate the full visceral...ness? of the issue but holy cow.

Think another trip to the bathroom might be in order.

Can already feel that tingling of anticipation creeping in for the next issue.

[snarl]

Absolutely fantastic stuff.

Spoilers below





I'm trying to work out what's going on with the Lost Light too...

This seems like a Parallel universe one, as Overlord was never let out and Swerve's bar is Crosscut's bar (seems).

But if it is a parallel, then why did the deaths of all the crew make *our* crew vanish?

Maybe some Donnie Darko type reality split made by a key character surviving (or maybe dying) when they ought not to have... i.e. the bloke that got fused into the engine in issue 2... and our crew are in a reality that should never have existed, and are slowly being merged back into the regular one?

Seen this mentioned on another board, maybe there's some element of Event Horizon **** going down too?

[snarl]

Oh, here's another thought I just had - what if Issues 7-8 happened in an alternate timeline / reality running parallel to the reality / time line we follow in MTMTE all along?

[Hound]

My brain!!


The briefcase reveal was brilliant, btw. Though I'm not convinced that's the end of it.

[Metal Vendetta]

Right. So I'm operating under the theory that this is a duplicate Lost Light which was somehow split off from the main ship at the end of issue #1 in the quantum explosion. This is the story of what would have happened if the Lost Light hadn't been knocked off course on their first jump out:

1. Half the crew didn't get sucked out through a hole in the side of the ship. I haven't gone through and ID'd everyone yet but the presence of either Hyperion or Polaris amongst the corpses would definitely prove this - AFAICT Hyperion transforms into something with tracks and Polaris is a sort of rounded-shell car thing.
2. They never picked up Skids from that planet. Swerve didn't bunk with him during the Sparkeater crisis and so didn't find the bar. Crosscut did find the bar and established a theatre there instead.
3. Overlord and Pipes's bodies aboard prove that Overlord never escaped. Given that the DJD couldn't detect him and then suddenly could, I suspect that as in "our" universe, Red Alert drilled into Overlord's slow cell, which somehow allowed the DJD to detect him and catch up with the Lost Light. Rewind is the only one they didn't kill.
4. It's possible they didn't go to Delphi, maybe they weren't close enough. If you look at Ratchet's corpse, his hands are in the same sort of position they were way back in issue #2 before he smacked one of them with a hammer. No Delphi - no Fort Max or First Aid.

Though that still leaves a whole lot of questions - what about alternate Tyrest? Would they still have run across him without Skids? Magnus was working for him, but could he have pulled off his grand diabolical scheme without Magnus even being aware of it? Are there any constructed cold corpses on the Lost Light? If so, that might suggest that they managed to stop it but in this timeline Roddy got killed (maybe by Star Saber's sword) in the attempt...

Where is First Aid? He's the only season 1 member of the Lost Light crew to have joined since the launch yet to be accounted for. He's been mentioned as keeping solitary and not talking to anyone before the ship disappeared, but presumably he's not just been left floating in space? Or maybe he has?

For that matter, where are Bluestreak, Broadside, Doublecross, Groove, Grotusque, Hosehead, Hot Spot, Joyride, Mirage, Repugnus, Sky High and Streetwise?

Could it be that it's proximity to the alternate version that has caused the ship and everyone with a duplicate aboard to vanish? Like the two versions not being able to exist in the same area of space?

[edit] Okay since I posted that McFeely has done the wiki page and according to him the corpses are: (robot mode) Ambus/Magnus, Ratchet, Drift, Hound and Tailgate, (vehicle mode) Blades, Jackpot, Blaster, Smokescreen, Rad, Powerflash, Trailcutter, Waverider, Huffer, Strafe, Inferno, Rollout and Highbrow. Seen getting mullered in flashback we have Perceptor, Swerve, Whirl and Mainframe. Since Blaster's cold constructed, we can assume that Tyrest didn't manage to get his universal killswitch to work in this timeline, at least not before the DJD attacked.
