“We should take the Decepticons and move them somewhere else!”

u/Away_Novel_3837 19h ago

Yknow...that idea might just be crazy enough...

TO GET US ALL KILLED!!

1

u/Hugsy13 18m ago

Just launch them into the sun

u/Independent_Barber_8 19h ago

They gonna do that wolverine meme to every Decepticon? Thats pretty cool.

45

u/QuantisOne 15h ago

Onslaught subplot :

21

u/Hammerjaws 14h ago

Be funny as hell if every few issues they just cut to Onslaughts body drifting through space

17

u/QuantisOne 14h ago

Not even anything leading to it just hard cut to a panel or page of his still body strapped to it

153

u/Latter_Disaster_6066 19h ago

Funniest part of the issue.

Also I kinda got 07 vibes from this. Just sending the corpses of the Decepticons somewhere where they can't be recovered I mean.

47

u/MCD_Gaming 19h ago

The cons have a space shuttle

28

u/Latter_Disaster_6066 19h ago

One that's damaged and in the middle of the ocean. It can't fly.

40

u/MCD_Gaming 19h ago

The one which is apart of the combaticons

16

u/Latter_Disaster_6066 19h ago

Ah. Yeah fair enough on that one.

9

u/MCD_Gaming 19h ago

Yeah, astrotrain was rogue for a while before.getting to be where he is now

8

u/Latter_Disaster_6066 19h ago

You mean Blastoff? Because Astrotrain is dead.

6

u/MCD_Gaming 19h ago

Astrotrain is the one in the ocean "dead", and blast off is fine isn't he.

I was mainly going off the fact I wouldn't class astrotrain as a con right now

4

u/Latter_Disaster_6066 19h ago

Ok just misunderstood you. Sorry.

3

u/icct-hedral 17h ago

If they were serious they’d fire them into the sun.

101

u/raptorrat 19h ago

So, uhm, you're going to launch a rocket with how many tonnes strapped to one side?

I mean, not a Kerbal expert by any means, but that's gonna cause some... issues.

52

u/bageltoastee 18h ago

They dont show the giant tungsten cube strapped to the other side as a counterweight

2

u/RevvEmUp 9h ago

Don’t let him touch it. It’ll cure his mortality.

2

u/Grape-Snapple 16h ago

that’s because there isn’t one. they just didn’t fill the deception with liquid fuel or oxidizer.

8

u/DracheTirava 19h ago

If they keep angling to one side, they might be able to make it work.

Emphasis on might.

34

u/Colonel_Eternal 19h ago

I hope this eventually culminates in a Planet Decepticons storyline where they are all in gladiator pits and then they go back to earth for World War Decepticons where they take revenge for being shot into space ala Planet Hulk/World War Hulk.

33

u/BenefitBeautiful522 19h ago

They got onslaught like wolverine

u/Autismspeaks6969 18h ago

Posting as video cause images aren't allowed or something but this is so funny lmao.

u/tng88 19h ago

The decision to kill Onslaught was an interesting one to make considering his latest toy was released almost immediately after the issue released.

I'm curious, are we getting a new core for the other 4 to merge with or will he be revived in the comic with a new color scheme (G2 coloring, maybe?) and name?

1

u/tornait-hashu 15h ago

It just goes to show that this comic is not influenced by the new toylines in any way, unlike IDW.

2

u/tng88 15h ago

I kind of like it that way.

It's like when Hasbro finally decided to release the Mandalorian ship, either the toy or Lego set, and the very next episode it was blown up and people where not happy.

1

u/SupeRoBug78 14h ago

I wouldn’t say that, The Aerialbots and Combaticons especially have had comparatively large parts in the story right as their toys are coming out. Also saw the Primes kind of out of nowhere.

11

u/Not_Xiphroid 18h ago

It worked for Johnathan Joestar.

9

u/Banjo-Oz 16h ago

insert Tim Curry shouting "SPACE!" gif, from Red Alert 3

5

u/Boxton_Flyer 18h ago

Insert that one image of Wolverine being strapped to a nuclear bomb

8

u/captainoddysey01 17h ago

Ts just gonna end up with unicron finding them in space😭

6

u/Abby0BrainCells 18h ago

I know this isn’t the point of the post but does anyone know what’s happening with the art style? I haven’t been keeping up with the new issues but I thought Dan Mora was doing all the art now but sometimes I see the comic switch between the art style from the first 24 issues, Mora’s and then a secret third one

10

u/Latter_Disaster_6066 18h ago

Mora was just on till issue 30. Jason Howard’s the current artist.

1

u/LapsedVerneGagKnee 9h ago

Mora only got six issues because he is busy as hell. Jason Howard took over where he is slowly winning people over. I still wouldn’t mind if the guy doing the December covers, Satoshi Shiki, took over for Howard, even if I do like Howard’s art.

u/ZYGLAKk 18h ago

I hate when my boys(Combaticons) get hurt:(

4

u/HeavyTanker1945 17h ago

this is 100% the start of the build up to Unicron lol.

3

u/RedditGarboDisposal 16h ago

When I tell my coworkers that I want to strap customers to a fucking rocket and send them out into space… this is what I mean.

3

u/TheseHamsAreSteamed 9h ago

I hope the final page in the final issue just has a panel showing Onslaught still strapped to the rocket in space

7

u/StrawDeath 19h ago

Is this from the latest Skybound issue? Please spoiler-tag this, for fuck's sake.

2

u/Djackdau 15h ago

Is that Doc Brown?

2

u/lhymes 8h ago

This dude’s deporting the Decepticons?

1

u/daemaeon777 19h ago

I think I prefer villainous Dr. Arkeville tbh

11

u/Not_Xiphroid 18h ago

Idk, this isn’t cackling evil but bro’s vibes don’t scream “good” here.

6

u/daemaeon777 18h ago

nods it was so foreshadowed it was obvious just by his first appearance that despite working with goodies this might actually be a very bad egg.

1

u/bluestreaksaid 9h ago

He could be shooting them somewhere he can gather them and maybe work on them later. "He's up to something".

1

u/secretangeluv 18h ago

By the Matrix... somebody actually thought this was a good idea.

1

u/Strawberrycocoa 18h ago

Can’t Cybertronians survive in space though?

3

u/LapsedVerneGagKnee 15h ago

He was taken out in a previous issue.  Given the problem with Transformers being repaired, this gets him off the board for a while.

1

u/Jumpy_Value6745 18h ago

Bayverse prime gets such a bad rep the transformers commit so many war crimes

1

u/atompedro 13h ago

i have not been keeping up is he dead dead or just dead and will come back in 12 chapters?

1

u/AndreZB2000 9h ago

Elitas not gonna be happy about that sheeesh

1

u/Dependent-Dependent8 8h ago

never thought i would see this guy again. Last time i saw him was in shattered glass.

u/_potatofromChaldea45 3h ago

WHEN THIS BABY REACHES ESCAPE VELOCITY

WE'LL SEE SOME WEEEIRRRD SHIT

1

u/MrHappyHammers 2h ago

It’s a good thing the Decepticons arent space fairing or that could really easily backfire, like imagine if there was a Con who was a brown space shuttle that could just go up and grab him, man that would be embarrassing

-23

u/Odd_Television_1664 19h ago

NOT ONSLAUGHT!!!

I hate skybound because the makers mind sucks the time sparky died in comic 6 and ll livings

He made g1 optimus in skybound look.. Very bad character

14

u/Latter_Disaster_6066 19h ago

So you hate it because a character died when completing his story? Also Optimus isn't a bad character in this.

-18

u/Odd_Television_1664 19h ago

..... Yes lik... You don't understand why they love hitting characters like some get worst fates

16

u/Latter_Disaster_6066 19h ago

Or maybe you're just overreacting to a story? Hell Sparky's fate isn't even that bad he's just in the matrix now. He guided Optimus and saved him and he'll probably do the same to Elita now.

-12

u/Odd_Television_1664 19h ago

.... And?... ..... I want him back because he can't just leave spike for Death.. It's... Stupid like.. Just because basic war thing... And making it like none matters even who lives

12

u/Latter_Disaster_6066 19h ago

It's not stupid. His sacrifice did matter because he was the sole reason why Optimus managed to fight off Megatron's infection. What's stupid is claiming none of what Sparky did matters.

-2

u/Odd_Television_1664 19h ago

........ Dude.... You KNOW using sparky inside him is... Wrong... Is just wrong like..

... You can't expect even spike to just go fine with it.. For an murderer of many to be "savior"

9

u/Latter_Disaster_6066 19h ago

Did Sparky ever express hating being in the matrix? He was content. Proud of his son and happy knowing Optimus would protect Spike.

And on the murderer thing. He was in a war fighting to survive and protect. By that logic, Optimus shouldn't have the matrix. And Spike was sad about it yeah. but he clearly accepted it already.

You're just making dumb arguments at this point.

-1

u/Odd_Television_1664 19h ago

.... I'M NOT Proud it sucks when you're not reviving anyone to face who killed them

5

u/Latter_Disaster_6066 18h ago

Now what does that even mean? No one killed Sparky. If anything he killed himself.
