May...No comments yet? Well, a few thoughts then: <br /><br />Maybe this is an attitude I carry over from the sense of ancient mystery that pervades the TF cartoon universe's Cybertron, but I like ambiguity. I like it enough that I'm eager to forgive slight "mythos" continuity inconsistencies. While the Dinobots being simply constructed and brought to life without the later-established Vector Sigma is something I can't forgive (hence, Marvel's Dinobot origin wins, hands down), I liked that "Call Of The Primitives" supposed confusion on TF origins brought back some of the mystery that was lost when Rodimus learned that they were originally a slave race made by the Quints. <br /><br />So rather than seeing Auntie's femaleness as a continuity problem, it just makes me curious what timelost force introduced any concept of gender into this TF universe: Another oversight or fallback plan on Primus's part? An alien encounter? It makes me wonder, but not cry foul. <br /><br />And though I'm loyal enough to comic continuity that I don't need everything to have a parallel to the cartoon, when I see that picture of the Guardian, all I can think is that my favorite TF universe would be a slightly better place if their guardians looked like the ones on the show. I know that's impossible, since David Wise wouldn't write "War Dawn" for at least several months after this was published, but it would seriously jive with Omega Supreme's creation in US#19. This Guardian looks just a tad too much like the Mad Thinker's Awesome Android, and I wonder if that's a coincidence. Maybe ROM knows... <br /><br />Oh, and Windcharger is about the only year one character whose toy head I prefer over his Sunbow face, so I'm quite glad that the only story he ever really starred in used that design. He looks sort of like Barbecue from G.I.Joe. I still like his cartoon face enough that I wish I could find his new RTS toy...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
