They were rarely featured in TF media back then, even in the cartoon. Menasor and Superion got a lot more screen time.<br /><br />I also remember this issue in that it was the last lssue that I liked consistently. After this issue, it was hit and miss; the writing seemed uninspired and Budiansky seemed not to care anymore about writing good Transformer stories. The fact that artist Perlin left the book around this time was either a coincidence or was a factor in the decline in storytelling quality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-42801903274740331032009-10-31T01:13:49.431-07:002009-10-31T01:13:49.431-07:00"...the electrical dower downed earlier."...<em>"...the electrical dower downed earlier."</em><br /><br />I think your affinity for alliteration betrayed you. ;)<br /><br />I remember this issue well. Following on from the Scraplets and Used Autobots, I really enjoyed seeing these combiners in comic action for the first time (for me). Loved me some combiners.<br /><br />--LBD "Nytetrayn"LBD 'Nytetrayn'https://www.blogger.com/profile/03558404841371560435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-55096927479554259522009-10-30T13:31:04.415-07:002009-10-30T13:31:04.415-07:00Super story summary, Sorenson!

Perhaps I'd been conditioned too heavily by the cartoon, where the Autobot ship (never called the Ark in the cartoon) not only never moved, but had those large rock growths on the interior, making it pretty clear that the thing would never fly again.Mark Baker-Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593390925694976101noreply@blogger.com
