oh, comics about robots.

More Than Meets the Eye, kindly stop doing unkind things to my emotions. My poor little heart can barely stand it.

:(

(Is anyone reading this series? I don't really follow Robots in Disguise, except for when I see people in the discussion forums making too many vague references to it - so I only know the general gist of what happened recently

Ah, I don't have the patience to wait for them to arrive, so I just buy them at comixology and read them online. It's kinda not as awesome as it could be, since I can only squint at a computer screen, but it saves me the agony of waiting and KNOWING IT'S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE. And then I buy the TPB, anyway, so whatever.

Ratchet, omg, he is seriously the best ever. And Ultra Magnus! And Skiiids, ahaha, so wonderful. Man, I even like Whirl, and he's a violent lunatic. And Roddy, I cannot not love him. EVEN WHEN HE IS STUPID.

I never, ever thought I would be sad to see Drift leave. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, ROBERTS. Ugh.

Haha, yeah, Rung is... maybe not the best at his job. But, yeah, I ♥ him anyway. I HEART EVERYONE.

Yes, even you, Chromedome, you poor, fucked-up individual.

(Prowl is such a little shitbag, but I love him for it, so I was worried for a little bit there. But he's fine, and Ironhide punched him in the face, which is always glorious, so that's all good now.

... WAIT DID SOMETHING HAPPEN TO JAZZ AND MIRAGE AND BUMBLEBEE? I know the latter two got beat up, but...?! I do know about Wheeljack, unfortunately.)

DESPAAAAAAAAIR

::nodnod:: Yeah, I'll end up with the TPBs too - take up less space on the shelf. ^^;

Exactly! They're all very people-y people, there's something good even in the fucked-up ones, (Whirl's life, how much did it suck????? o.o) and maybe I wouldn't want to hang out with Swerve for very long, but extroverts can be handy and ULTRA MAGNUS and they're playing him music and cleaning him and the whole Ratchet and Drift relationship - dammit kid I've worked too hard for too long to keep you alive...
ROBERRRRRRRTS!!!!! XD
Rung, yeah... I almost quite reading though when he was shot. I just couldn't take it...and then someone pointed me at a preview pic, so I knew he'd survived and that was okay. FORT MAX AAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I'd love to see more of him, actually. Let him continue to be broken and dealing with that, sure, but let him out of the brig, invite him to movie night...
Actually they could have issues and issues of just pranks and shenanigans aboard the LL and I'd be fine with that, but I do understand lots of other people need the quotient of robots punching each other to be higher. Which is fine. Explosions are also fun!
Man. Chromedome. ;_;

Oh, I meant Mirage being wounded, and Jazz telling the others to take off while he and Tracks or whoever hold the line... And Bee getting his head scrunched by Megs. So just that. Wheeljack... Yeah.

Well, I'm glad Prowl's okay(ish) and more importantly not Devastator's head any more, and I guess punching someone in the face is Ironhide's way of showing he cares? See, spoilers help me prepare for these comics... ;D

I am tempted to try out this comixology thing, though... I already have the physical issues preordered, though... Sigh.

[twilit_wanderer]

I definitely recommend comixology! You could probably cancel the preorders? Or at least go buy issue 16 (or one of the older ones, they drop in price after a while) and see if that method works for you.

I wish we could always have this level of awesome characters. It is like glorious fanfiction, only it is canon. (And how about the whole Chromedome/Rewind thing? Aw, man. I knooow, the cleaning and the music and ULTRA MAGNUS YOU HAVE TO GET BETTER. AND THE SCENE BETWEEN RATCHET AND DRIFT IN 16 OH I CAN'T TAKE IT *sob sob* capslocks of emotion ;___;

LOST LIGHT SHENANIGANS FOREVER. I wanna see more of the bizarre horrors unleashed by Brainstorm. And movie night! And more time where they all sit around drinking and telling stories! And then they can punch each other. AND NO ONE DIES.

Oh, phew. I don't think I could've taken it if something seriously awful (... not that those all aren't, but it could've been so much worse) had happened to anyone else.

Yeah, the Devastator's head thing was really disturbing. Just in general. Ugh, creepy. (Prowl-punching is really just Ironhide's favourite sport. Springer also plays, but Ironhide is the reigning champion. Maybe he passes it off as a sign of affection, though.)

[tainry]

Okay! I finally got them in the mail! Ended up taking them to work Thursday, at which time I was glad I'd been spoilered because there was therefore no crying. \o/

Ahhh CD-ROM. <3 I like it that Roberts was a little cagey. It left them and their relationship open for people to interpret the way that made them the most happy. Conjunx Endura! What a wonderful phrase! /sings
And wow, Brainstorm was nice for once! o.o And I'm interested in the idea that someone on tumblr put forth; that what's in Brainy's briefcase isn't an ultimate weapon. It's the remains or a reminder of his conjunx endura. Or someone who he wanted to be that with.

Ratchet. Keep being awesome. Stubborn and frustrating but wonderful = Ratchet/Drift brotp <333333 Actually sending Drift away feels like a ruse to me, in light of the blurb from RID about this MTMTE issue. A lone Autobot on a mission. Has Optimus shown up anywhere yet? He's the only other Bot I can think of who was solo.
WHO WOULD STEAL ULTRA MAGNUS INDEED? Welp. Me, for one, but uhhhh...
TAILGATE OMG WTH oh nooooooo...less time on the clock even than Magnus. What color is your innermost energon, Cyclonus?

Lost Light MST3King something for movie night would be AWESOME.

RID. Wow, so no character development for Prowl today, huh? The Character Nazi says no. LOL, yeah, so apparently all that has to happen for Prowl to reassert his personality over ALL the other Structies is for Ironhide to ...not stop punching him and talking at him? XD
And then Wheeljack happened. XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
And then Metalhawk. TTATT
So. I dunno. Let Starscream have his way for once? See how it goes? Curse of the Black Pearl maybe, but... I guess it'll be interesting to see which way the writers jump. They tend to deviate toward the mean, but you never know.
