Transformers Spotlight: Blaster

[GoktimusPrime]

The assailant isn't who you'd think it is though. And that's part of the fun. You. Won't. See. It. Coming.

...actually, I totally saw it coming. I was hoping that it wouldn't be who I thought it was - that there would be some twist to surprise me... but erm... it didn't. I fully predicted who the assailant was. The assailant's motive wasn't all that surprising either. Not necessarily Furman's fault though... the artist's attempt at obscuring the assailant's identity didn't work on me - I saw right through it. Meh.

I read that one of Furman's intentions with this comic was to try to blend the fun Cartoon Blaster and the serious warrior Comic Blaster which he did do but I don't know how successful it was.

I thought it was reasonably well blended - it was as if Blaster's "cartoon" persona was a facade - an 'on-show' personality that he put on when he was on air to rally the troops and boost morale, whereas in reality he was more like his G1 comic persona. And I think that combination worked well.

Nice cameo by Kup too (fighting alongside Fortress), shows that the Autobots were throwing everyone onto the warfront.

Other neat cameos I liked were Brave Maximus and Landfill. And there's also a yellow and black robot.. is that SALT-MAN-Z?! (o_O)

having Lee Harvey Oswald turn out to be the assassin was pure genius on Mr Furmans part, en bravius el elctrum [latin for 'brave people get electrum']

I don't think that's the key to the issue though. There's more important other elements in there imo. The mystery isn't really where the strength of this book lies. It goes deeper than that

Because of the solitication for an upcomming Spotlight I thought the culprit was going to be someone else.
