Re: Shane McCarthy interview

The tag-line for "Stormbringer" was "nothing but robots on Cybertron", and even discounting the Nebulons, much of the action took place off of Cybertron. I don't recall the exact tag line being "nothing but", but still, the majority of the story was all about Transform...

Re: Shane McCarthy interview

When I say "The Gathering" promised nothing, I mean that nothing was promised beyond a comic with "Beast Wars" characters. And, we did get that. I hated every page, but IDW's never *promised* me anything else. Like it or hat it, "Stormbringer" made explicit promises ab...

Re: Shane McCarthy interview

This is the first time in over 10 years, if not longer, where the Matrix of leadership has actually meant anything in the comics. I don't see that it means anything here. As Onslaught Six said, very little has been explained about it's role here. Suddenly Kup tells us the war started because of the...

Re: Shane McCarthy interview

AHM is the smartest TF story in a long time, definetely the 5 years. It definitely rivals (if not exceeds) the Beast era and "War Within". (And, yes, I will say it is better than "Man of Iron".) I re-read AHM, and can find very little wasted space. I just don't see it personally...

Re: Shane McCarthy interview

I think at this point, you just don't like it and you should stop complaining about it, yeah? McCarthy's gone after Coda, and there's something else in the works then, so you may as well move on--for your own health and ours. Why shouldn't I express my opinions about it just because I don't like it...

Re: Shane McCarthy interview

Seriously Sparky, how many other comics do you read? This is actually a pretty common ploy. I read a ton of other comics and it really isn't that common. Once in a while, sure, but I'd hardly call it common. Besides, Coda wasn't even originally part of the plan when they came up with AHM. Coda is m...

Re: Shane McCarthy interview

Was n't it implied in one of the Spotlights that Perceptor took physical damage to his brain? Or am I mistaken? He was damaged in Spotlight: Drift, I don't see anything to suggest his 'brain' was damaged to completely change him like that. Well just wait for Coda then. They should have covered it b...

Re: Shane McCarthy interview

Sunstreaker was less obvious because of two things. One, he was so obvious that people might have thought, "nah, too obvious". And, he is one of the classic Autobot cars. Many fans would reflexively see him as a good Autobot, Dreamwave's sourcebook aside. I don't agree. They were trying t...

Re: Shane McCarthy interview

-Sunstreaker as the traitor: Was it just because of Furman's stuff, or was it just "because Sunstreaker's a tool?" McCarthy doesn't like the accusations that he hadn't read Furman's run, because he totally did and that's part of why Sunstreaker was the traitor. -But originally, in the pit...

I thought it was just a trash chute, since they didn't show any flames associated with it or anything. I figure Blurr's just in a scrap pile somewhere.
