Comic: Movie Sector 7

[GoktimusPrime]

Something that confuses me... just before we see Jetfire flying off in robot mode, we see the Americans' ship (presumably the U.S.S. Maine) dismantling/unfolding as if transforming -- then the American sailors are floating in the water blaming the Spaniards for destroying their ship. But then on the Field Notes page it says that Jetfire carelessly sunk the USS Maine and inadvertantly started the Spanish-American War. Which I think is really cool btw -- having the Transformers actually interact with real historical events. It gives the comic book some edumucational value too.

But yeah... was Jetfire the USS Maine herself, or was he a nearby Spanish vessel? TFwiki states that he was a US Navy boat (so presumably the Maine, or another ship in the same fleet).

I took it as Jetfire being the Maine... but the notes debunk that, was he just lying under the ocean then?

I really like the concept of this series, if not so much the execution of it.

That page was a bit unclear. The art does suggest one of the vessels is transforming. Jetfire seems to have warboat kibble. I think it makes more sense for him to have been under the ocean though.
