All Hail Megatron Coda #13 to #16

[GoktimusPrime]

1993 G1.5 characters too. We had Clench/Colossus in Megatron: Origins!

Why it's almost as if AHM was written by a GeeWunner for GeeWunners. (-_-)

So I picked up issue 14. I've read it through. It's really unfortunate.

The Sunstreaker story was... very McCarthy. It's meant to be a tragic retake (rather than really contributing continuity-wise) in Sunstreaker's story. I don't see the point -- he's still alive? Uh, okay.

McCarthy wants the pathos of his characters in pain... it's a theme throughout his TF work, Blurr, Cliffjumper, now this Sunstreaker story. He's just not very good at it.

Then the Galvatron story. Yet another reset-to-G1. How unfortunate. A boring story that was... kinda pointless. It's amazing how little happens in these comics. 11 pages was a *FULL UK ISSUE* back in the day. And they had to have a beginning, middle and an end.

The Galvatron story doesn't even really have any signs of actual story structure. Cyclonus is burning corpses, then Galvatron talks him out of it. That's not a story, that's barely even a vignette.

Are you the same Jhi that didn't let me make fun of McCarthy on the wiki?

I'm sure making fun of Shane McCarthy distracts valuable manpower resources away from making fun of Pat Lee.

Thankfully Pat Lee's no longer working on Transformers.

Your first name basis suggests you know him outside of here, if that is a correct assumption, could you please tell him and Candice Chan that i want my letters back

Until Hasbro Hong Kong asks him to (badly draw) Movie Prime and Movie Megs again.

I'm sure making fun of Shane McCarthy distracts valuable manpower resources away from making fun of Pat Lee.

I put forward that the tfwiki's Pat Lee article is the most extensive article on Lee's dodgy activities, especially since Wikia toned down their version of the article and Wikipedia completely pruned all of the "allegations" from theirs.

In fact, Wikipedia's article only mentions how James McDonaugh and Adam Patyk "claim" they weren't being paid. I find this insulting because a few of my friends were ripped off by Dreamwave as well.

I'm not against making fun of Pat Lee at all. I don't think it can ever be done enough. In fact, I was doing it before it was even popular:

(after reading an interview with Pat Lee on March the 3rd, 2001 at 6:00 pm - one whole year before Dreamwave had even published any Transformers comics):

Yeah, I like the bit where when asked:

"Do you see anything shady in the way that Transformers comics and
cartoons were created in the past, as a vehicle to sell the toys?", Mr. Lee
replies: "Well the cartoon was amazing, it was only a matter
of time before the toys were made."

Surely nobody wants this man to have any power over Transformers
continuity?

Here's the preview to #15. Just these first five pages are some of the best Transformers sequential art I've read in years. Nick Roche is a legend - this stuff feels like Furman's old work and gives me the same level of happiness. He's a genius and this is just him cleaning up other people's messes - imagine what he could do if he were given more control of the franchise. Roche should be given free reign over the G1 title. http://www.bzzurkk.com/2009/09/trans...on-15-preview/

Yes I am. I'm also the same Jhi who wrote this:

As I remember it, the actual issue I had was with you pretending like Today Tonight were anything like a reliable source for ANYTHING... as opposed to me loving Shane.
