    Here ya go! You did post them, and they’re extremely important and hard to find elsewhere.

    (For those playing along at home, these should be read after the LSOTW comics.)

    Probably right between 13 and 14, I think! It doesn't slot nicely in, because it was written way earlier, in irl time, and then things will be fresh in your mind when the key player crashes into the plot in issue 14 :p

    ONWARD. sorry to take so long before finishing this issue, yesterday was so fucking hectic

    "sky spies" is a really fun term
    gluometric....y'all really just smushing together shit that sounds vaguely scientific and making words aren't you

    triple changers have two alt modes, yeah? like, a gun and then a ship or something, in addition to root mode

    i like that this just turned into a heist movie! i can hear the mission impossible theme playing. that's not facetious, this is fun

    oh he's using professor xavier's super nerds to get in, i suddenly understand so much more

    Empurata!! I can't remember at what spot the exposition really happensssss, but it's a big plot thing in MTMTE. It's basically a functionist government punishment where you were a naughty mech? Okay, fine, we're taking your face and your hands. See also: Whirl, Glitch :3c

    Whirl specifically gets a lot of focus with the empurata thing later on, where the story really digs into the long-term emotional repercussions of that kind of mutilation, but it is my FAVORITE fucked-up plot device, and I'm so into it oh my god you have no idea. This gets so twisted in every sort of delightful direction no matter who you apply it to or how. I LOVE IT!!!!

    And Shockwave!! He hasn't really shown up in MTMTE yet, but he's one of the big players in the classic franchise. He's generally one of megatron's highest-ranking officers, though his characterization varies a lot from continuity to continuity. If sibling has mentioned him in TFA, he's got a totally different look in that series, but he's usually a purble man with one eye and a gun hand. He's a pretty staunch Decepticon, and his IDW characterization has been very cold and logical, and he's kind of been..... laying the groundwork to glitch out the entire universe........................... it's weird, but cool, but WEIRD. The characterization of him as a senator in the flashbacks as a friendly and progressive fancyman is supposed to be a contrast to how detached and cold he is in the current canon.

    So I don't recall when exactly the term is brought up first but as it is extremely relevant I will just let the opening paragraph of the article on the wiki speak for itself
    pre-war cybertron was fun for the whole family

    i was WONDERING what purpose those heads had, and was like "huh..the head they're putting on shockwave sure does look like whirl's, i'm sure that isn't as significant as i'm making it" X3

    CYBERTRON IS BEFUCKENED
    not........the purple man with sexy high heels, though, right, that's a different animated purple man? i'm so fucking bad at telling the robots apart

    Anything with sexy and highheels is usually Starscream :P

    Ahhhh, robot identification. It's a tricky learning curve, but it definitely gets easier with time! I couldn't tell most of the blue bots apart my first time through mtmte

    Shockwave in TFA is more blueish without notable heels, but with some very dashing antlers and hoof-y toes!

    shockwave tfa.png

    Starscream in TFA is more purple, with a tasteful hint of heel

    starscream tfa.jpg

    But TRANSFORMERS PRIME! That is where Starscream went all-out with the footwear, though it does go very light on the color. If someone is making remarks about robots in heels, odds are very good that it's TFP Starscream XD

    notice from ~the future~: cyclonus really fucking pisses me off this issue and there's a lot of ragging on him under the cut, You Have Been Warned

    03.png
    HBFBFBFBBBFBFBF I MEAN

    also just preemptively: i don't want to debate cyclonus' merits, i'm sure he's a very good character but i have a hard time liking characters when they're mean to my faves, and he hit tailgate and i just. really really fucking don't like him. maybe i will like him in the future but also i don't see that happening rn and mostly i just want to fight him because tailgate keeps being fucking nice to him and he's just. such an ass.

    03.png
    mustache robot...

    rite of autobrand??? what is???? joining the autobots????

    man, rewind's backstory is fucking SAD

    wait....isn't interfacing....sex......or has rp osmosis failed me
    is first aid saying chromedome's spark might be too weak because they fuck too much....

    holy fuck, whirl! did he just juice up cyclonus AND rewind??

    03.png
    ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME.

    03.png

    hmm....i hate him! i was unwilling to say i more than disliked him because i hadn't seen much of this since, you know, way earlier, but you know what? i fuckin hate him.
    [​IMG]

    PICKING UP THE BOTTLE SHARDS DOESN'T MAKE UP FOR CALLING HIM PATHETIC YOU FUCKING ASSCLOWN. FUCK OFFFFFFFFF. CONSIDER PERHAPS FIRST NOT BEING A HEINOUS PIECE OF SHIT EVERY TIME HE TRIES TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU.

    OH AND NOW HE'S BEING A FUCK TO WHIRL IN THE PAST.
    urghgghghghghfhgdhg i fucking hate him.

    WHIRL. REWIND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE COLLATERAL. I DON'T WANT CYCLONUS TO DIE BUT GIVEN THAT HE JUST THREATENED TO DO A MURDER I CAN'T BLAME YOU.

    yes cyclonus saved tailgate and tried to protect rewind but after that uh. stellar fucking display i'm not really feeling sympathetic to him. maybe he's really a big old softie on the inside but the way he's mean crosses a line, i can't do it. ugh. ugh. blagh.
    like obviously he's not a one note villain, or even a villain in the first place, and i ABSOLUTELY understand why people like him, but oh my god i can't do it i hate him

    "Interfacing" in this case means Chromedome sticking his needles in people's heads to read their memories.

    Also, adding to the previous liveblog post, Blip and his brother Blot just sort of...leak. Stuff. It's something that their frame type just does, apparently, and everyone has to get used to it happening all the time.
