In yet another batch of comic news, iBooks has posted its three-page preview for IDW Publishing’s Lost Light #7. In the aftermath of Megatron’s departure, Rodimus and the others make preparations to leave Necroworld and pursue the Lost Light. Will things go according to plan? Probably not. Read the pages after the break, and pick up the issue on June 28!

Tend to forget that, she does not look like a femmebot much. Btw, wasn't there a Lug Headmaster? I think that one was Hosehead's binary partner.
Danny-Boy
*she. Lug is a lady.
BB Shockwave
Yep! For example, does he still turn into a vampire-werewolf hybrid? Show us his alt mode!
I do wonder when he "died". Last we saw him was in Stormbringer on Predaking's ship, as I recall.
BB Shockwave
Yeah, I\'d be iffy too traveling is someone\'s oversized corpse… Rodimus is too cheerful about all this.
Wonder what Fangry is playing at – doubt he turned over a new leaf.
And Lug still makes me scratch my head. I mean… he was a remnant of a spark. How does he have any memories at all? Aren\'t those stored in the brain module, and wasn\'t his destroyed?
Also, does this mean anyone who died before the Necrobot died could potentially be rebuilt with a new Protoform?

Tailgate, I assume if anything dumping Cyclonus was being influenced by Whirl and whatever he said. I can see Cyclonus being mentor to Tailgate not his lover. Since by all accounts Tailgate is a child and acts like it. It may be the point. I don't think Tailgate is acting like jerk because of his strength but because he was actually appalled what he did to Cyclonus while in recharge. My statement the whole romantic relationship feels forced not holistic compared to Chromedome and Rewind or even to Nautica and Skids. I am not saying that they don't care about each other but they confusing what the nature of the relationship is.

I hope whatever is going on with Cyclonus and Tailgate forces them to talk to each other about their actual feelings. None of this "Important things don't need to be said" rubbish. It's quite clear that these two NEED to talk some stuff out.
Murasame
Wasn't that the intent? He said that he does not want to be influenced by anyone ever. Sounded like he also dumped Cyclonus basically.

Ah. Typing on my phone.
Meant to post IS a different type of relationship.
CaptainButtocks
Anybody think
Just speculation…

I think you did a pretty darn good job torpedo'ing your own argument there.

You're welcome.

Ah ok, I see now! Thanks!

They need access to his neck, that's how functionalist universe Rung did it to himself.

So they\'re going to use Skip\'s body for the ship,after FMD. Ok, I get that,but why didn\'t they just rearrange his body to ship mode BEFORE using the FMD? You know, transform a little dude into a little ship and then enbiggen it. This seems extremely counter productive to me…unless its just Tailgate trying to show off. Which I kinda suspect…ever since he got the outlier strength he\'s kinda acted like a bit of a jerk.
And on a side note, something I think would be really cool is if there was one last recuperaction pod left..and it had the actual original Ultra Magnus in it. Anyway, food for thought.

His proportions are goddamn awful, and I can't even with the way he's drawing the energon flowers. For fuck's sake that looks goddamn hideous. It's oatmeal.
samisham
…as if comics haven't been that for the last forty years.
RNSrobot
Why are they standing on blue oatmeal?
Why are Cyclonus' thighs as big as his entire torso?
Why is Chromedome apparently ninety feet tall and/or anorexic?
… This is the direction Jro is taking Tailgate/Cyclonus?
…
Welp. Serves to confirm I'll be happier no longer following this book.
Goddamn shame though.
samisham
This is the wrong fandom to invoke that. They've been whining about their poor precious childhoods since 1996. There's point in trying to use logic.
WilyMech
I feel the same. I mean the relationship between Cyclonus and Tailgate feels more forced than natural progression. It sort of Onslaught and Brawl in my book but no mnemosurgeon to bring it about. Cyclonus and Tailgate I mean coming from the same era and time really do not have much in common. Heck even Ratchet and Drift makes more sense as a couple.

Was that stifled laughter bit supposed to be a joke? I kind of just cringed. The "Ultra Magnus is dead" thing is such a hamfisted hook, and I know I'm not going to be impressed with it. I liked the first couple of pages but this is kind of just, eh. I mean, who begins a sentence like that? "Anything I can help you with?"
"ULTRA MAGNUS IS DEAD and by that I mean I don't want to wear the suit anymore."
"Oh."
It's just unnatural and, again, hamfisted. I feel like the dialogue's just gotten lazier with time. The Cyclonus-Tailgate stuff is mildly interesting, but I feel like the romance is a lot more forced between them than Chromedome and Rewind, or even Brainstorm's attraction to Quark.
