Caught between the life she thought she knew and the Transformers who claim to be her mentors, Gauge must decide—is she a Reversionist, or a Cybertronian?

First for Heretech best character. I hope he doesn't die. I also want a toy. Which is strange because he is rather fat and simple looking but I really like it somehow. It's so different from usual bot designs.Thanks for dumping, OP! My issue wasn't available yet since they comic shop guys were still busy unpacking when I went there.

Tyler Collins
>>116882487Yeah I thought something similar. Well depending on what this twist actually mean it could be cool, but I don't know right now. Too many question I have. Like why they returned to Cybertron for example. Where were they heading to before and why? And why can they wipe out Cybertronian life now or think they can, but not before?
Alexander Baker
You know what could be an interesting twist? If Accelerator was the true mastermind behind the scheme, with Heretech acting as a mere figurehead.
Parker Cox
>>116882612>tfw you are a Karen>tfw you are also the managerSentinel Prime suffers.
Ryan Scott
>>116882691>If Accelerator was the true mastermind behind the scheme, with Heretech acting as a mere figurehead.Now that you say this it would have been cool if the relation between IDW1 Sentinel and Senator Proteus had been a twist instead of common knowledge. I mean he is a Prime and some intimidating guy so of course would everybody expect him to be the ruler. And Proteus played the role of the nice guy that is holding Sentinel back and feels sorry for Decepticons when in reality he was the true dictator and Sentinel just his right hand.

Joshua Jenkins
>>116882694I hope he will finally escape his pre-destined death this time. He is one of those characters that have a lot of potential for growth being thrown out of their comfort zone and losing everything he sacrificed his life for. I wonder how he would develope if he ended up as nobody while Megatron seizes power after winning the elections and the opposition choosing Orion as the new Prime.
Jose Turner
>>116882783Why not?
William Lewis
>>116883014It's cheap pandering and it's gay, and I want more stuff about this rare IDW1 character than more rando/OC fembots being shoved in my faceAll of what's happened and will happen can be forgiven if the writing was at least good. But so far, it has yet to be forgiven.
Kevin Adams
>>116882357Some minor nitpick, but it will never be not come off as dumb to me having Gauge beating up grown-up robots that have most likely participated in a world war.
Lincoln Cook
>>116883133But user, she was trained by a war vet herself. So that means she can totally beat up other war vets!Yeah, no, I agree, that dumb.
Jackson Martin
>>116882952>6000 megacycles later...NOOOO OPTIMUS
Colton Sullivan
>>116882447What is his plan?I wonder if he has some superpower we didn't know about before. There are no lethal weapons allowed so they cannot have them and even if they could these few hundred bots would be no threat against the ten thousands Cybertron has, so I wonder what the modus operandi will be.
Ryan Ramirez
>>116882691Accelerator is hot and all but I'd prefer it if she builds her own church later

Henry Ortiz
>>116883320I wish we would see more about Heretech because I cannot imagine him leading this whole thing alone. If he did it would make all other bots pretty damn stupid since I cannot imagine a whole ship of them and nobody ever asking questions or wanting to lead themselves or be space pope's assistant.

Oliver Cook
>>116883431The Primal Scriptures say not to. You can have priestesses in your pagan polytheistic religions, e.g. Guiding Hand cucksActually liked the Guiding Hand>>116883443>implying that I like the penance works-based righteousness of Rome and Heretech's denomination (and now Prots ironically enough)>tfw Mormons are polytheistic too, so technically they're allowed to have priestesses or whatever if they want
Adrian Rivera
Wait fuck, the next issue is already the last one of that arc isn't it?I cannot imagine this developing well. The Cliffjumper story felt longer and more wholesome already and it was only two issues, not three. And yet it wrapped everything up, dealt with Cliffjumpers past and developed him properly till he reached his goal, introduced a whole new planet and its people and even showed a bit of their culture. All of this plus everything Deathsaurus and cool action scenes in two volumes.I think the idea behind the current arc is really nice, but I assume the author is usually not writing comics because the pacing and narrative style fails to convey the story properly and fucks with the timing.
Jaxon Hernandez
>>116883518Good for the priestesses, since Guiding Hand was the true religion as Primal Prophecies were written by Adaptus' goons and the Cult of the Thirteen was created by Shockwave
Carter Collins
>>116883933I was NOT a fan of the stuff in the spoiler. The Thirteen COULD have been neat, but IDW ended short and blah blah. I don't think even all of the Primes are accounted for but uh, I suppose they can be presumed dead, especially if the colonists never met them and if you assume they failed to get off-planet around Unicron time...The MTMTE/LL twist was kinda nice, esp "God was with you all along, cared for you, suffered the same things as you" (for the sake of my sanity, let's ignore the part where he's a flawed individual like the rest of us) but uh... wait. We still don't know what Vector Sigma is, what one splitting into five is, and why Rung has a serial number; this and the afterspark leaves room open for some god that loves robots and stinky organics, so that's kinda nice.>Guiding Hand was the true religionEmbrace monotheism, fren>inb4 monotheists who also claim that the Matrix is symbolicI pray that Prime excommunicates these heretics
Kayden Rivera
>>116884035Logic dictates the most likely origin of IDW Cybertron was indeed naturally occurring gears, levers and pulleys
Zachary Nguyen
So who the fuck is Paragon?Is that a completely new OC? I don't remember this name ever appearing before.
Nicholas Gomez
>>116884189This is the only pic of gears that's a proper response to the gears and pulleys theory>sparks are mysterious balls of sentient energy naturally created by a naturally-created computer housed in the center of the planetOk faithlet
Tyler Torres
>>116884189Nah, it was a mold inside death planet so I headcanon it must have been some superaliens like in G1 and such.
Nolan Watson
>>116884237I am currently re-reading the comics and noticed Gears enjoying getting splashed wet with the hose.Now you might have expected some cool insight and secret hints I spotted when I started the post with "I am currently re-reading" but I just wanted to talk about this right now. I felt like it must be said. I think this is important.
Josiah Rivera
>>116884353>Now you might have expected some cool insight and secret hints I spotted when I started the post with "I am currently re-reading" but I just wanted to talk about this right now. I felt like it must be said. I think this is important.Nah man, this is just short of a divine revelation, someone must REALLY like Gears in IDW. A part of me hopes for some sort of spotlight on him, another part of me think that'd ruin him and it'd just be better for him to be a periodic extra throughout the continuity, experiencing a wordless series of mishaps, partially due to incompetence and partially due to sheer bad luck
Bentley Gutierrez
>>116884410>someone must REALLY like Gears in IDWIt's probably Ruckley, he seems to love quirkiness a lot, people just don't appreachiate it as much because he tends to hide it in the background or casual dialogues, so his writing of characters isn't too different from Roberts' but stealthier.I like the Gears getting lost trope a lot too. I was happy it continued happening in the main series as well, so that points at Ruckley again since the first time it had happened it was in the Valentine's issue. Or maybe Sara and him discussed this before and agreed to implement it.
Lucas Cruz
>>116884696>people just don't appreachiate it as much because he tends to hide it in the background or casual dialoguesI require additional proofs and examples>his writing of characters isn't too different from Roberts' but stealthier.>comparing person to person I like so I like them tooAs long as it's less xD quirky and not progressively similar-note like Roberts became, I'm fine*he and SaraI presume Gears is one of the bots sorta picked to survive until at least the war and Earth stuff, that's kinda nice. Wanted more attention to background randos like Huffer, Gears, Inferno, Xaaron, etc. in MTMTE. Naively hoped that LL25 that promised an ending for the whole crew would have at least a page or two with packed panels depicting Inferno and Red Alert opening a clinic, Huffer and Xaaron attending church, etc. rando stuff just to show that everyone was doin alrightSpeaking of randos,>>116882357isn't that the green Autobot Constructicon

Josiah Ramirez
>>116885115>I require additional proofs and examplesI wanted to actually list a bunch of things like Froid's weird hand gestures and emergency responders needing counselling after rescuing a pissed Prowl and these things but then I remembered Gear related stuff and had to post that instead. Pic related. I just love how he stumbles over Rubble's device and chills in chair(?) mode. Maybe he only half-transforms and it's comfy? Not sure how he did this. I hope #23 will show more Gears things.
David Diaz
>>116882487Given his religious views, I don't think Heretech would accept any planet besides Cybertron.In fact, someone on Cybertron should have probably found their whole "exodus" suspicious, but I guess they have bigger problems.
Oliver Wood
>>116886185Makes sense.They preached something about Primus being Cybertron, Cybertronians being Primus and "Primus/Cybertron being reborn soon" in one of the early issues. So their beliefs seem to be tied to the planet itself, especially considering that whole 'disintegrating and merging with the planet' thing going on that happens with bots like Orion's mentor I think.
Hudson Myers
>>116882783I'd be better than "The men are EVIL!"
Justin Hughes
>>116886420Not him but you have a point. The weird absense of guys save for the villain and the randos that get punched in the face by the mains is a bit suspicious to me. Makes me wonder what her other stories are about. Would be cool of Heretech himself was brainwashed or something which would even explain the different behavior he displays now vs as Senator.
Levi Russell
>>116885993>Froid's weird hand gesturesHuh>emergency responders needing counselling after rescuing a pissed ProwlI vaguely recall this, haha>chills in chair(?) modeAhahahahaI wish Gears had a wordless cameo in every issue throughout the continuity>>116886420It's just one step removed from that. I'm half-expecting team girlpower to face Heretech in hi phallic tunnel boring machine mode and just kick it right in the gears (not that one), or
Matthew Nelson
TLDR, Arcee is a karen now?
Jordan Rodriguez
>>116886632>>Froid's weird hand gestures>HuhYou know I feel like other people noticed this. Because I didn't have the comic at hand (or only physically at least) so I just googled "idw2 froid hands" and found pic related edit.
Kevin Reyes
>>116886720>You know I feel like other people noticed this.Tubey fair I did kinda speedread since it was boring and slow, but speedreading makes it boring since I don't notice details, but it's boring because...>just googled "idw2 froid hands" and found pic related edit.KEK, Froid is looking cute, as usual. Seems kind of neurotic and sycophantic. Hopefully not a full-on villain, but someone who's a bit quirky and likable, sorta
Julian Scott
>>116886705Yes, and Sentinel (male).
Evan Fisher
>>116886863Froid is clearly meant to be quirky in this continuity I think with him fanboying about Nautica too and such. He also made those gestures when he was worried and alone too so it's not the disney-villain gesturing but more of a quirky thing like Smokescreen's sispicious smiles and hand signs.IIRC Ruckley has said that Froid was his favorite bot design, so I expect him to last and be a good guy this time.
Leo Cox
Is that green bot with Arcee Springer? I'm not liking this art or the designs at all.

We COULD just be seeing what Froid would've been like prior to meeting Sunder, but hopefully he remains mischievous and lovable>>116887440>not recognizing DevastatorRavioli drew the Galaxies issues which takes place prior to the ongoing, so it's easy to be confused
Wyatt Myers
>>116887862>Uhhhh he prys a lot and is somewhat fixated on crazies, some of which are meanWell Rung did the same back then. And Froid is successfully re-integrating bots into society save for four cases we don't know much about other than that one of being Quake and the other one Pyra Magna.
Luis Long
>>116888077Maybe Pyra Magna is good this time?
Levi Reyes
>>116888727I doubt it. First of all see the earlier post. And Quake is a murderer. Secondly Sentinel refuses to let her out of jail even in a situation as dire as it is right now because she is that much of a war criminal. And thirdly she murdered Cyclonus' lover or whatever Paragon is and it was "unnecessary". I assume she wreaked havoc at the end of the war and killed everybody she assumed to be influenced by Exarchon or standing nearby or whatever. Maybe she was the one causing that crater that became the war memorial Cyclonus always vitis.

Heretech is a big doodoo.
Juan Smith
>>116889544I think people are hesitant to use him because they're not sure what to do with him after the whole God business.I mean, has any writer ever expressed interest in using him in anything?
Jaxon Carter
>>116892487They could always just make Rung an avatar of Primus rather then actually fully being Primus
Nathan Phillips
>>116892487>Rung is PrimusThat was the dumbest reveal ever. And there the fact that he dies afterwards. Not only that, his existence is wiped from memory which make the reveal in universe pointless because again, who's gonna remember it. Hell, Lost Light was nothing be lame revels after lame reveals'.
Jaxon Jones
>>116892487Maybe just make him a regular ass psychiatrist, removed from all that God baggage
Nicholas Bennett

I enjoyed him being just Some Guy with relatively mysterious origins. I sometimes wonder if the reveal and all that happened in the end would have been better or worse if Roberts had gotten the ~50 LL issues he planned for.
Connor Smith
Alpha Q did nothing wrong.
Matthew Foster
>>116894569oh alpha q up alright
Connor Flores
>>116893133The whole suicide clinic reveal was unbelievably underwhelming and disappointing. No one I knew took it well and the threads sure didn't when the issue came out.
Jacob Davis
>>116893811>I sometimes wonder if the reveal and all that happened in the end would have been better or worse if Roberts had gotten the ~50 LL issues he planned for.It would've been the same. Mind you, he got a year warning in advance and rather choose which main plot threads to follow he decides to rapidly go through all of them with not time to breath. It wouldn't have felt so rush if he hadn't felt the need introduce character and concepts that noone cared about.
Christopher Morris
>>116895193It's the most British comic book writer thing Roberts could have written and I don't mean it in a good way.
Juan Perez
>>116896310But user, it was subversive. It went against what you thought was going to happen. That's good writing!
Christian Kelly
