I will say that Starscream being caught as a liar among the Decepticons isn't enough unto itself to be his undoing, after all, they've all lied about something, they're Decepticons. Lying about being chosen by the Matrix to obtain leadership is a bit above and beyond the normal sorts of lies even b...

I'm not saying I know exactly what direction they're going to take, I'm saying Starscream's lie will eventually catch up to him. You don't need to be one of the writers to see this. Heck, the last panel even shows us that Starscream knows that eventually he'll pay the consequences for this lie. Not ...

It is not just a question of finding the Decepticons busy work. Even if it is necessary and practical, it has to keep them interested. We saw this in AHM. Megatron tried to sell Hook on the value of what the Constructicons were working on in issue 4(?), but Hook was not really interested. He wanted...

The problem Starscream has is that he needs to keep his troops happy. The Autobots had less precedent for the kind of difficulty they were facting, internally and externally. But, there is plenty of precedent for mischief in the Decpeticon ranks. And, the material wealth they are enjoying would mak...

Starscream is arguably trying to hold thing together. And, in fairness to him, he is (thus far) making a better showing of that than the brain-trust that was Prowl and Jazz. Hold things together, as long as he's the one who is on top. And the Autobots situation was a lot worst given they weren't ju...

And, how is work that duplicates/mimics pre-existing art an "original work in and of itself"? Does Coller cover look exactly like Romita's? No? It's not a duplicate then is it? Again, the point of a homage (in comics) is to repeat a recognizable scene, not copy it outright. It's an origin...

So they lose that key and Vector Sigma is forevermore inaccessible? No, again that's why Alpha Trion sacrificed himself in G1, so that they could access Vector Sigma without the key. And Optimus used the (empty) Matrix to communicate with Alpha Trion inside Vector Sigma at one point. It seemed the ...

Sure there is: They replicated the keys, didn't they? :roll: It is an unexplained gap in the story and you know it. And that doesn't change the fact that I think BM is an awesome show that no amount of nit-picking can destroy. So nyeh. That wasn't what I was arguing though is it? Although personall...

Okay, in that case, it really was advancements in technology that let them replicate the key. Via...replication. Like the replicator, from Star Trek, y'know? That's why I said earlier there is no indication the Transformers possess the replication technology like that. As you may be able to tell, t...

How do you know it's physical? It could just be a hologram. Or Holomatter, for that (holo)matter. At the end of the episode "The Key" we see Rhinox/Tankorr physically cut away the key from a dead hologram of himself, which then is deactivated. If the key hadn't actually become physical, w...
