Comic review: Robots in Disguise season 2: #28 onwards

[prjkt]

now this is related to First Aid's backstory on MTMTE, but I find it kind a funny that Ambulon's death had such an impact on First Aid, that he took Ambulon's "spot" as left leg for Defensor

[GoktimusPrime]

Ambulon wasn't Defensor's leg. He was the right leg for a prototype Decepticon gestalt, but Ambulon later escaped and defected to the Autobots. I thought that the remaining members of that prototype gestalt team were either killed or MIA. It's also not known if Ambulon would've been even compatible to combine with Defensor either, as he was an early prototype; it's not as if a Constructicon can combine with a Protectobot. Actually, I don't think any of the IDW gestalts have been shown as being capable of swapping members between teams, even though the toys can ('cept Devvy).

Then again, Anglophone continuity's never really played up the whole "Scramburu Pawaah!" aspect of the interchangeable gestalts.

Pretty Sure is Ambulon was still around at the time the protectobots were exposed to the Enigma of Combination he would of been able to combine as it magically does whatever is needed to do to get the desired result

Oh I know he wasn't part of Defender (probably could have made my post a little clearer) - I just thought it was possibly a clever reminder that Ambulon's death had affected First Aid in such a manner - I just couldn't remember whether he was a left or a right leg.

Wrong thread. Excuse me while I move it to the MtMtE thread.

Latest issue was easily my favourite so far this season. Nightbeat was fantastic, calling back the Furman era and the whole "Roberts thing" of making a supernatural / deity figure just a fan/regular joe was a great touch.

Megatron not being part of his season two seems to be no longer a big thing, the end page was amazing and really hit home to both me as a reader and to the character of Megatron as well.

Art was spectacular, I had no idea that we had a different artist. Certainly a high point for the last year or so!

Wrong review thread. Good issue though

Dad nammit. Can't half tell that it is week 9 of the school term!

It's so nice to read a TF comic that has an artist who can draw people like they're people instead of the chunky blocks of flesh that Andrew Griffiths draws.
