In the last panel he says that he cannot celebrate, as Skids is gone. And he looks down and touched by it. I think this is meant to show Prime will have a hard time about this off screen later on.<BR/><BR/>He simply moved on because he had to, all the others would have been in danger if they'd stopped with Devastator still looming behind.<BR/><BR/>And in any case, it's better than the way he handled Jazz's death in the movie! :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>I loved this issue as well. Ian Akin and Brain Garvey elevated the art of the Transformers title to great heights back in the day, IMO. I loved how they improved Don Perlin's pencils (and José Delbo's for two issues). And things would only get better from this point on.Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442388706616569265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-37921148968567815592009-04-09T14:51:00.000-07:002009-04-09T14:51:00.000-07:00Yeah, this issue is essentially one big toy advert...Yeah, this issue is essentially one big toy advertisement for Omega Supreme. (I don't think the "You asked for it, you got it!" blurb is meant to be taken literally. It's a play on the old Toyota car commercial that used that slogan.)<BR/><BR/>I don't like how casually the Decepticon troopers were written out of the story. Granted, guys like Thundercracker and Skywarp were pretty much non-entities in the comics, but even at this early stage, Starscream was compelling and it's a shame to watch him get demolished just to make room for the Triple Changers, Battlechargers, etc.<BR/><BR/>It also bothers me heartless and dismissive Optimus Prime is about Skids. It's not really very Autobot-like.Zobovorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937442132663140091noreply@blogger.com
