Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[sanbot]

Read his Spotlight comic. It shows him as the detached killing machine but also how he can 'care' in his own way for creatures smaller than him.

Is it possible to read the comic online?

[TheDirtyDigger]

Yes. You can just get it as a single issue and it doesn't need to be read in the context of the larger background story.

I've just seen Encore Bruticus and Henkei Galvatron listed as Bluetecas and Gurauvatron respectively. Are these their Japanese names or is it just Engrish?

[GoktimusPrime]

Any legit answers for my q?

In Revenge of the Fallen, how did The Fallen get out of his sarcophagus before the Solar Harvester was located?

[griffin]

I don't think it has been explained anywhere yet. But they do have a number of comics in the next 6-months that may explain it.

Yes. You can just get it as a single issue and it doesn't need to be read in the context of the larger background story.

Sorry...for some stupid reason I read your question as, 'Is it possible to read it alone'. I'm not sure if it's online anywhere. I don't think so.

Any legit answers for my q?

I actually think my answer is the right one as there were so many other plotholes through the movie. Of course a later comic may retcon it to come up with something more plausible.

Mmm... cosmic macguffin fresh...

Engrish. Bruticus and Galvatron's Japanese names are the same as their Anglophone names. Heh, I remember in 1998 when online stores were selling Stampy as "Stumpy."

HLJ had him as "Spanspee" and Break as "Bleak"

I have tracking on an item which has as it's current status "30 July 2009 Australia Pending customs inspection". How long from this status does it usually take to receive the item? Do you think there's any chance it would get to my PO BOX by 9am tomorrow or would that be wishful thinking?

[canofwhoopass_87]

Is it an express item? Because I've had nothing but trouble from that dodgy service. I've always found registered/priority and even standard airmail to be so much more reliable and cheaper, even if you have to wait an extra couple of days.

I hate express tracking to bits, it's only good half the time. Every other time items are either apparently "in transit" (which for some reason, is a 6 day process sometimes) or sitting in customs. I had to wait 2 weeks for my g1 ultra magnus bc they wouldn't release it.

So basically, given that piece of tracking info you've got - anything can happen. If it's outdated, maybe it's already been passed onto the auspost couriers or still sitting in the sorting centre.

Have you tried checking your tracking number using the host country postal service website (i.e usps.com if it's from the states) as well as the australia post tracking page? They usually have different results, which can sometimes let you know where it REALLY is.
