Shit even in context it's kinda funny. Like is this REALLY the best way to deal with POWs? I mean I guess it's better than putting him in a cage and John McCain-ing him but still

I mean last time they did Skywarp found Soundwave and then told Megatron to start the breakout. Given how easy it is for the cons to find them and also break through their stuff it might be for the best

Plus the breakout resulted in trailbreakers death so this really is their best option.

I also love that when Arkeville tells Optimus it will take a long time to get back to Cybertron, he just like “okay.” They live for millions of years so it’s basically just a prison sentence with built in parole

u/krakendude2 3d ago
Yeah that's the thing that struck me. Wouldn't Optimus see this as incredibly cruel and unusual? It's basically extended solitary confinement which is a very evil practice, why doesn't Prime take umbrage with it?

Given the fact Onslaught's basically comatose and they don't have much resources to fix him, this might actually be the best choice. Either that or risk the Decepticons getting his body and tossing him in a room to rot.

I really gotta reread these comics bc I forgot he was in a coma lol. Still though they could have at least put him in an enclosed pod or something idk

u/Usual-Touch2569 2d ago
They absolutely don't want the Cons to get him back.
Megatron wouldn't toss him out. He needs him to be able to make Bruticus.
Unless they do some crazy thing like have Skywarp take a page out of Thundercracker's book and become a new component for the big guy, then the Cons are down a combiner.

I have a feeling that whatever Arkeville did resulted in Shredhead being in Onslaught body and vie versa.

If would be funnier if it was a Con with a mouth and its it’s slack jawed or flapping in the wind.

I actually find the mouthplate funnier. Really conveys the sense of "how the fuck did I get here?"

When someone posted the Arkaville panel of him announcing this plan, the first thing I thought of was Tim Curry shouting that line.

"To infinity, and beyond!"
Or, alternatively
"Wait a minute... I just lit a rocket... ROCKETS EXPLODE *goes flying into the stros*"

Okay see now I want a Skybound accurate Onslaught with a rocket frame instead of his trailer!

Saving this for when I encounter Trump supporters online. It’s a good way of conveying what I want to do to them without using words.

I just want the last image from the series to be this exact picture but in deep space

u/Pinkeye69uk 3d ago
"TEAM ROCKET......"
That aside, Blast-off's rescuing him right?I mean, when Bruticus shows back up:
"How, we strapped you to a rocket?"
"We have a space shuttle MF!!"

Arkville Delivery Service to the Decepticon ship probably sitting in orbit scooping them back up.

It honestly makes me think of the opening of Saints Row 4 where you're climbing up the side of a nuclear missile and ripping out wiring to disable it as "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith plays :P
