RID #33

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!

Actually didn't mind that one.

Art was brilliant if nothing else.

Obviously all about toy flogging but reasonably well done i thought. And some nice Windblade moments.

Was this another Maighread Scott/Sarah Stone joint? I never did read much of Windblade, but I liked the art.

RiD has been a round of toy flogging to put Budiansky to shame. If Barber didn't self-sabotage his own plotlines, I would blame it for sabotaging the plotlines in general.

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.

It was a decent issue - Wheeljack's an engaging character and I kinda like his and Screamer's relationship in this. Windblade was much less mopey and annoying than she was under Scott (and sorry sprunk, but I hated that horrible twee art) though Chromia still bugs the living **** out of me: "I'm going to be instantly judgemental about this guy because Starscream knows him, despite being an unrepentant murderer myself."

[edit] Hm, just realised this was drawn by Sarah Stone. Well, colour me impressed, as the artwork's not nearly as awful as any given issue of Windblade.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!
