In part 1, the Decepticons are clearly using the dam's power to make Energon cubes! <br /><br />Not only is this before their introduction in US#14, but this is supposed to be during the time when neither side knew how to convert Earth's energy, and even once Sparkplug showed them how, it was still liquid, and presumably non-glowing. I suspect Furman didn't change that part because converting hydroelectric power into liquid fuel would make even less sense, and it's not impossible to rationalize: these energon cubes were still experimental, and ended up being too unstable to use, forcing them to fall back on Sparkplug's conversion process. Shockwave was the only one who knew how to properly refine energon, so it couldn't be used until he whipped up that device in issue #14, likely at the behest of Hasbro, much like the space bridge. <br /><br />That's my best guess anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-10738473421417754602009-02-10T05:04:00.000-08:002009-02-10T05:04:00.000-08:00Yeah it is weird - I can't say I noticed really - ...Yeah it is weird - I can't say I noticed really - because its a long time since I read the US books.<BR/><BR/>It was probably a time thing, don't you reckon? This story feels like it must have been filler, because it was copied from a year-old episode - maybe they had to do the art quickly as well.<BR/><BR/>Still, the UK colouring really makes up for any repeated art, to my mind.Bishbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429304622553626284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-71682552553535051292009-02-09T13:37:00.000-08:002009-02-09T13:37:00.000-08:00I just noticed that wide-eyed Bumblebee panel, Bum...I just noticed that wide-eyed Bumblebee panel, Bumblebee's head is traced from the cover of US TF comic issue #2, just rotated around. What's with the weird copying from the US book's art in this issue?Karaoke Ninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203614210990312548noreply@blogger.com
