IDW Transformers ongoing [spoilers]

[kup]

Wahahahahaha! Win!

I gotta get this off my chest, Cliffjumper calling Bumblebee "BB" really gives me the sh*ts.

Note to self: if I ever meet this writer, SLAP him. (no, it's not so bad that it's worth a janglies attack... just a good pimpslap will do)

I thought the story was okay, but I personally preferred Bumblebee #1. One strange thing... WHY are they referring to Octane as Tankor and Bluestreak as Silverstreak?! Don't tell me that IDW has lost the rights to use these names as comic book characters. (-_-) And if the excuse is to support Hasbro, then why are they still calling Hot Rod "Hot Rod" instead of "Rodimus"? Gah! Another weird thing... in #2 they cited Silverstreak as one of the Autobots who deserted Bumblebee's Autobots and left with Hot Rodimus, yet in Bumblebee #1 we see Silverstreak (coloured BLUE!) standing among Bumblebee's Autobots in the cave! Buh?!

Maybe in this reboot (don't know what else to call it) Bluestreak and Silverstreak are separate characters - But it smells more of stuff up..

In regards to 'Tankor' and also 'Silverstreak', it's possible that Hasbro is pushing these names to promote the toys. Hot Rod isn't being enforced as Rodimus because the Classics toy has not been sold within Hasbro markets for a couple of years. This is also probably why he is not being forced to have a 'Classics' body.
