"What will you do, once you've crisscrossed the planet with your gang of thugs?"

"I will create desolation and call it peace!"

"I have heard it said that we only learn through suffering. Tonight I intend to make you very wise."

The thing about the quote for the third pic is that it works for either character.

Who wore it better?

Megatron says it to Sentinel at the end of Megatron Origins but as Brainstorm pointed out to Megs on the Lost Light Sentinel and Megatron were (back then anyway) far closer than Megs wanted to admit.

Horseshoe Theory Cybertronian style?

The shock of transforming might kill me, but when needed I can still Weaponize!

A little bit of TF One, a little bit of Skybound.

So like, what's the context of that whole Megatron-arm thing in Skybound? It seems like something the crowd I'd expect to be sticking with the comics to find extremely silly, but people seem pretty hyped about it, so I'm curious about how they managed to sell it.

I don't know if they "sold" the arm thing specifically, but Skybound's run as a whole has just been really well written, so it works in context of the story being told.

A good story can sell even the silliest or worst ideas.

A little bit country, a little bit rock 'n roll...

Golly gee willikers, that sure would be a nice thing to know, not like I asked about that, specifically, within the first sentence of my post.

Well, its too bad there isn't an internet archive of transformers knowledge that one could just look up at their leisure. Like some kind of online encyclopedia. Yep. Too bad that's purely in the realm of fiction.

Sorry? I answered why the comic reading portion of the fandom was ok with it and that part slipped my mind. Hardly worth getting angry about.

The context is that Megatron went missing when the Ark crashed on Earth, with only his arm left in the wreckage. Meanwhile Optimus lost an arm in a fight with Skywarp. So Ratchet bolted Megs' arm onto him.

Hope that helps, now have a Snickers ffs.

I was also curious, as I haven't followed the new comics and only got snippets of this (and double-bird salute Cliffjumper) as memes.

 

[Haywire]

The cliff(jumper)s notes, not super spoilery, version of the comics is: Energon is what keeps the Cybertronians going, and there's not a lot of it readily available. Teletran can reassemble them seemingly from random spare parts, but requires Energon to do so. Ratchet can also reassemble his comrades, but maybe not quite as completely as Teletran, and also requires Energon to keep them going. So, yeah, at one point Optimus has to graft Megatron's arm on to keep fighting. It's a ridiculously over-the-top moment and feels like that G2 comic cover, and you can almost literally hear The Touch in the background (or was that the bit where they actually DID print the lyrics in the background? I might need to re-read this run).

IDK, the action in this comic kinda feels like they embraced the Bayhem from the movies, but grafted onto a G1 body, if that makes sense?

They actually couldn't use the song lyrics, so they did this instead.

Action? Sure, but I feel like Skybound had managed more heart and successful character moments in twelve issues then Bay managed in five feature films.

I just realized that I had a larger Matrix in the accessories bin!
