There was also the mid series name change from Robots in Disguise to the Transformers for the exRID comic that confused things further. Actually, maybe that's why I'm intrigued by MTMTE becoming Lost Light: TF in general has a classification clarity problem where a lot of the entities in the franchise have overlapping names. I love seeing them step out of that naming rut and give an ongoing a title different enough that people won't have to come up with a workaround like the maccadam tag to sift it out from the rest of the general TF content
Yeah, RiD is p generic for Transformers stuff, but still not as generic as just Transformers. MTMTE to Lost Light is a good name shift, in my opinion, because it makes it much more distinct and more about what the series is actually about.
Spoiler: mtmte 55 So... how many eyes did Tesarus have back there? Because I'm feeling like it's at least four, maybe six if I'm really, really lucky Also, can anybody identify any of the non-Roller folks the Necrobot salvaged from the past? Maybe from smaller continuities than the ones I've consumed? Because at least orange-and-black decepticon dude feels like he should be familiar to me, but I can't think who he could possibly be.
Slash, why aren't exrid 55 and Titans Return on viewcomic yet, I am D Y I N G here I just checked the wiki, and they dropped digitally today, so I'm not going crazy. But ffffff, I want to read them so bad, and I'm going to be on the road half of tomorrow and with a horde of family members for the other half, I want so badly to read them now
Spoiler: 55, also eye horror I'm gonna tentatively call it at four, and I'm choking on laughter because all I can think now that I've seen that is so that's where Kaon's eyes went. And maybe they just. Traded off occasionally. Like the Fates in Hercules -
Spoiler The shared eye thing was actually originally a feature of the Graeae, the Grey Sisters, from the Perseus myth. Not sure why Disney decided to give it to the Fates. The Graeae also only had one tooth, also shared.
Spoiler: Off topic Yeah, not sure why you expect accuracy of any kind from a Disney movie - they're kind of notorious. I've taken enough mythology courses to know the difference and then some, I just prefer to not care when it comes to visually evocative pop culture references In other news, I have progressed from Nickel<>Deathsaurus to Nickel<3Deathsaurus thoughts in the space of the past few hours. The size difference alone...
Hot diggity damn I'm still rolling around in Tarn/Deathsaurus hell (enfilade's fic updated today and asddsfdfsafs SO HOT), but I can definitely multiship in that direction! Also... she's an assertive, take-charge sort of lady who doesn't afraid of anything. She'd totally be bossing him around.
Spoiler: nsfw She has wheels for feet and there has to be potential there for her heelying circles around the warworld and making obscure obscene gestures at people until they follow proper medical procedure and also grinding her wheel heels onto someone's spike. P o t e n t i a l Nyoooom
adsfadsfdfsaadfs I'm not going to have my tablet again until Sunday, you can't do this to me!! BUT i am sitting down right at this moment to start drawing the grindcore picture, so there's that
Not a spoiler, so please accept this dancing Starscream. (He actually dances it´s not just a random pose it´s precious)
Everyone is so butt-hurt on tumblr about mtmte 55, there's these enormous seven paragraph rants about the reveals and someone's calling Megatron a Mary Sue. I'm giggling way too much over all this, who knew that the one of the most powerful robots in a sea of super powered robots would be kind of hard to take out? Betrayal!
Seriously? People are so upset? There were a lot of shocking reveals here, but all of them were plotted out wonderfully, so you're surprised when you read it but then you can go back and find mounds of supporting evidence.
Spoiler: TFP Crack Headcanon Sillyness Starscream Knockout and Breakdown having movie nights. Admittedly, Breakdown is only there for the snacks and promsie of threesomes. Don´t judge me I need sillyness after the feelswreck that is S2 finale
It might be a tumblr culture thing. People there can get a contact high from being upset vocally on the internet. It's mostly just harmless venting. Here's two of them (warning, strong opinions, don't look if people hating on issue 55 is going to mess you up, I'm posting these as examples) http://squiddybiddy.tumblr.com/post/148076395452/mtmte-55-sum-up http://iwanita.tumblr.com/post/148067157837/spoilers-and-hate-spoilers-and-hate Then Starscream and Knockout have a three hour impassioned argument over which version of the Great Gatsby movie was better. Breakdown tries a few times to change the subject but they just railroad over him. Finally, after they've agreed to disagree, they both notice that Breakdown has fallen into recharge out of boredom. Oops!
'Stop having the stupid autobots win always, it's getting boring' -Looks at All Hail Optimus- -Looks at Dying of the Light- -Looks at all the moral grays and role-flips- ???? EDIT: I've got no problem with venting and I can see how if you were super invested in certain characters I won't name, this arc has been very upsetting. I'm just a bit amused at that line because MTMTE has been great with playing with the autobot/decepticon line and tropes.
BAM! (major mtmte 55 spoilers) I'm not even going to lie, I am so pleased with myself right now Spoiler: mtmte 55 now i just have to see about writing megatron/terminus this weekend and drawing deathsaurus/nickel when i get back from this weekend, and then maybe I'll be SOMEWHERE close to catching up to making all the upd8 content I want to make
