(It wouldn't be the first time he acted to save an enemy's life) He quickly learns that he was too late.

It was only after he'd been infected by its madness that he decided he needed the whole thing.<br /><br />I mean, it's a bit fanwanky, but it might work.Jimtronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138709079942253485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-43295942252678119822010-04-16T08:04:46.943-07:002010-04-16T08:04:46.943-07:00I had a hard time accepting that the Underbase cou...I had a hard time accepting that the Underbase could destroy a planet by just touching it but not a Transformer like Starscream?<br /><br />If the Underbase causes madness and death, why didn't Optimus Prime simply not allow Starscream to absorb all of it at the beginning instead of Starscream absorbing just a part and then absorbing THE REST later?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-76172320543695407742010-04-15T14:37:01.703-07:002010-04-15T14:37:01.703-07:00I used to do the subscription thing, except I'...I used to do the subscription thing, except I'd have issues never arrive- which meant someone somewhere was pilfering them. <br /><br />After the old guard were replaced I had less interest in the series, but just the same a truly Epic issue.Caleb Barbernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-90474070905291375602010-04-15T13:34:41.731-07:002010-04-15T13:34:41.731-07:00Ahhh, a true classic.
