MTMTE #52 spoilers

Overlord shows up to help the DJD and Deathsaurus kill Megatron and friends, and Tarn kills Kaon for disobeying orders to try to save the Pet.

Well that made Rewind's sacrifice pointless. Did he at least survive so that he can disappear by getting to close to his other self?

>>82251065
>Well that made Rewind's sacrifice pointless.
Not really. The whole point of his sacrifice was just to get Overlord off the ship, which they still accomplished. They never gave the impression that Overlord was dead. He was still in one piece.

Well shit... that doesn't really make much sense. So he immediately kills a subordinate for not following orders, and allows Overlord to join? How does that make him any better than Megatron?

I'm so glad he's back.

>>82251803
If he rushed Tarn out of nowhere, Tarn could just use his Voice. Better to trick Deathsaurus into taking the brunt of the blow and attack when Tarn is distracted.

>>82252726
Well he let Dethsaurs and Co live so exceptions are being made

Besides killing Overlord would take time and effort, that should be spent on killing megs

Tarn.

>>82252859
They were still alive when they left them, they were assuming they were a lost cause and ran because the Galactic Council was right there.

Ok whose death is gonna be worse tomorrow?
Kaon
Hubcap
Roadbuster

>>82252833
Look at his face. The grief.
My face, the grief.
It's a big grief circle.

>>82252833
I'm sure this is going to inspire the troops. Good job Tarn, if people had doubts about joining, or killing you, they're sure to make up their minds now.

>>82252895
Those two chased the organics down to the planet. Then reinforcements showed up and the rest had to run off. Given the situation, they were vastly out numbered. So that seems understandable.

>>82252916
>those last two
Do those actually happen?

>>82252833
He trusted you with everything he had, you fucking bastard.

Drift you had better not fucking killed the pet.

>>82252744
Not sure where the first spoiler is from, but I'd bet Nightbeat.
Unless they go all PC on us still...

>>82253026
Considering it was a hostage, I doubt it.

>>82253004
Probably?
we know SOMEONE'S gonna die, I mean, it's a wreckers story.
And those two have literally ALL the deathflags.
You know it won't be springer, because we still have to have him find out he was invented by Prowl/Tarantulus and has no soul, thus needs to become a real boy first.

It's really speculation from this scene.

>>82253119
How would Nautica know what the customs are on other colonies?

>>82253137
She traveled with Thunder Clash or just read it up.

>>82253164
Read it up where?

>>82253182
Rung has lots of data files and we know the two were friends. Rung could have lent her all kinds of stuff during her many months on the Lost Light.

>>82253182
Behind scenes? She does read like when she mentioned reading up about Rung's data files.

So where are you?
I'm deep in Anger.

>>82253380
Shock and denial for me. Although reading the issue finally I better understand why Tarn did what he did.

>>82253119
ah, that's a good point.
So they're clearly wanting to avoid amica endura, and they're clearly looking for a cybertronian (that doesn't narrow it down much)
but that, to me, suggests that the bot they feel for isn't one they really could see having a friendship with.
Or perhaps even more interesting, a deep friendship with one, but a longing with another, unsure if cybertron was okay with that sort of split emotional bonding.

>>82253407
I suspect it is part of the greater "weeding out the weak" mentality.
Especially because Tarn is likely seeing himself as the "new" megatron.
Am I close?

>All this pain

In other news, what did Tarantulus do to Verity? I hope this means she will live.

>>82253431
I meant more about how he was being picked on by Overlord and how he had just had such a bad meeting with Megatron. Kaon picked a helluva moment to barge in; he might not have been killed had he waited until later and Tarn was more calm.

>>82253478
He is jacked up on the special fuel and that does make him edgy.

>>82253119
>I oly got a few hours to live
>I have to get laid
priorities

>>82253478
So he did it to relieve stress? Oh boy, lets see how long it takes Tesarus to defect.

>>82253243
>>82253254
And how would Rung have files on the colonies?

>>82253554
Another thing going wrong/adding to his growing pile of stress and he just... lashed out at it. It was the straw that broke the camel's back. Kaon just picked a bad time to walk in. Makes me wonder if Tarn will regret it later since when he first joined up with Deathsaurus he said would never sacrifice any of his team :( It seemed like an impulse thing.

>>82253699
Dunno. Like I said before she traveled with Thunder Clash who did come across other colonies or she read it up somewhere.

>>82253740

Now that you mention it, this could prove to be a wedge between Deathsaurus' and Tarn's alliance...

>>82253763
>or she read it up somewhere.
Cybertron only just came in contact with the colonies again. There is no literature anywhere for her to read about this stuff.

>>82252833
Tran is really doing nothing to try and downplay the whole "ow the edge" stereotype" everyone thinks he is.

>>82253798
what is the argument here?
That shes lying?

>>82253798
Alright then if getting reading materials is that straight forward from Cybertron only then she learned it from travelling with Thunder Clash.

>>82253829
That there's been a mistake in the writing. Hell, the Thunderclash explanation doesn't work either because Windblade and Chromia hadn't been to any other colonies prior to the Windblade book, and they were with Thunderclash the same time Nautica was.

>>82253798
But now they are, and they can probably send info directly to the LL. She probably just downloaded it, then read it on her Ipad thing.

Someone ask Roberts on twitter for an answer.

Maybe Nautica just uses the cybernet. Scavengers troll on Autopedia and visit Con forums, why wouldn't Nautica be able to check out colonyposters?

>>82253857
They were on Cybertron for around 6 months before Megatron became captain. So she could of picked up a ton of new information.

Impactor kills Hubcap.

>>82253938
Except that they didn't come in contact with any of the other colonies during that time. That only started at the end of the first Windblade mini.

>>82253941

Prowl gains a conscience

>>82253495
Overlord standing their mocking him in front of everyone does though, look at Tarn's face the whole time and how tense he is.

>>82253740
I'm betting he will regret, look at Nickel's face in the next panel, she was standing right next to him when he did it. She'll either yell at him or be so afraid/disgusted that she goes off by herself and won't speak to him.

>>82253958
But they did sorta. The call Cybertron sent out after Dark Cybertron. All those new bots appearing back on the planet. Not all of them are like on the council. You got other colonies that wasn't taken in like Nickel's colony.

>>82253958
>>82254001
Plus isn't the one on the council all have some sort of titan?

>>82253958
Then either fucking ask Roberts on twitter or this >>82253931 is the answer.

>>82253941
A warning on that would have been nice, I thought it was another mtmte spoiler, which I've already read, but haven't gotten to Wreckers yet.

>>82254001
You are getting very mixed.

The call was sent after Chaos, not DC.

All of those bots are NAILs, not colonists. They received the signal because they were from Cybertron originally. The term "colonies" has been used exclusively for the 13 Metrotitan colonies... which Nickel has already been said to be from, specifically one named Prion. It's kind of hard to take in her colony when it had been wiped out before they even got a chance to find it. They still haven't found all of the 13 colonies, they even just talked about this in the recent exRiD.

>>82253958
The 13 colony SHIPS aren't the only colonies of cybertronians to ever exist, obviously.

>>82254268
They've sure as hell made them sound like they're the only major ones that formed their own governments, customs, and the like, as no one's talked about any others and they're only recruiting those colonies for the Council of Worlds.

>>82254341

They're the notable ones because they're different from the colonies that Autobots, Decepticons and NAILs might've settled in for during the war.

How is it so hard to get?

I was really pleased to see that one kill Tarantulas got. I've been waiting for someone to kill using mass shifting for years now.

A shame about the victim, Roadbuster, though.

>>82250381
How utterly, utterly disappointing. Par for the course.

It's a bit of a shame Vos didn't die instead, given that Trailcutter died to revive him - making it all the more pointless.

On the plus side, they can just convert Kaon into chair mode permanently and use him as furniture.

>>82255166

Psh, this is Cybertron, not Carcer.

>>82255166
Stemming from that, most of the DJD could be repurposed after they die.

Kaon - chair
Vos - gun
Helex - microwave oven
Tesarus - paper shredder

Transformers and Philosophy: More than Meets the Mind by John R. Shook, Liz Stillwaggon Swan
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 3.5 MB
Overview: Transformers began with toys and a cartoon series in 1984 and has since grown to include comic books, movies, and video games its science fiction story has reached an audience with a wide range second only to that of Star Wars. Here, in Transformers and Philosophy, a dream team of philosophers pursues the fascinating questions posed by humankinds encounter with an artificially intelligent mechanical civilization: Is genuine artificial intelligence possible? Would a robotic civilization come with its own morality and artistic life, and would it find a need for romantic love? Should we be more careful about developing robots that may eventually develop ideas of their own? Transformers and Philosophy puts Transformers under a microscope and exposes its philosophical implications in an instantly readable way.
Genre: Non Fiction , Philosophy

>>82255727
Because he's a shitty writer.

>>82255870
It really seems like this arc is leading up to Tarn becoming Megatron 2, and probably being stopped before he can do it. Be it by being killed or talked out of it.

>>82255920
In IDW there's no indication either way. In other universes, often yes.

Hot damn.
We got a Phaser Sixer, anti-Phase Sixer unit commander and uh, Deathsaurus in one ship.

>>82255925
thanks a friend of mine was saying Primus wasn't cybertron and Starscream was Unicron I called BS on both.

Well I see another shitty MTMTE has arrived and with it the Roberts Defense Force.

>>82255922

Shitty marketer =/= shitty writer

Just because you suck on his dick and get pumped on hype doesn't mean the writing sucks. Stop looking at previews etc and chill.

We still have 3 issues of MTMTE left.

What can they do to fill up the time?

>>82255941

Poor Roadbuster. Then again we have seen bots live despite their heads being destroyed before in IDW so pull out them asspulls for this one.

Have to say these two issues are the perfect remedy for the endless onslaught of boring exRiD comics.

MTMTE was flailing for a while but they've managed to keep it going at a nice pace recently with meaningful things happening to meaningful characters. Plus, with seemingly randomly bringing Overlord back you can assume more is to come from it, as opposed to John 'I'll resolve this in 5 years' Barber.

SOTW also offers a nice combination of drama, fighting and tiny twists. It's not as if characters are doing full on 180s but it's a great read.

Meanwhile, exRiD is becoming more and more like The Phantom Menace. Nobody cares about the characters, the politics are really poorly done and they keep introducing things nobody wants unless done right.

I say we petition neatly timed mini's to replace exRiD and do all its smaller elements right.

Is Rodimus and Drift's reunion supposed to be touching?

Because he's only become a bigger asshole since Drift left. He's learned jack shit.

Yes, I know, he carefully cultivates this echo chamber he can easily call on to give himself validation

But it's a house of cards. Just look at what happened with the Grimlock and Scavengers arc when his followers stopped patting him on the ass

>>82256155
>At least the issues are good again.
They are? We must be reading different stories.

>>82256133
The Writers are really bad on letting Rodimus grow.He's always the perpetual ineffectual leader.

Optimus's growth is more about him reclaiming his position as a leader.Hestill is my favorite character, but his incredible rash of bad luck and lack of respect is annoying to me. I miss the days when people respected him.

We're talking about Optimus Prime. Probably the ONLY guy who could take down an enraged Megatron.The guy who turns impossible loses into complete miracles.

At least Megatron's had a pretty good arc.He's become a better , more complex character through introspection.

Starscream's finally having his day in the sun like he always wanted.

>>82256123
Barber's stories could get resolved faster if he wasn't forced to stop every 5 months to sell whatever toys Hasbro is bringing out. Let's face it, Optimus Maximus was not in Barber's plans for how to resolve things.

>>82256195
So that's what took Sins of Wreckers so long to come out, Roche had to fill in.

>>82256233

No, he had a family emergency.

>>82256226
Yeah, I feel like this series would be FIFTY times better if the comics didnt have to fucking cater to the toys.

I love Transformers, and IDW's done a fucking AMAZING job at ressurecting a franchise and turning it good, but it could be better without some jarring discontinuity shit and the Hasbro crap.

>>82256191
Yeah shame about that.
He went through a lot of shit including dealing with traitors, getting caught and tortured, brushed with death several times and touched the goddamn Matrix itself.
But he's still his old Spotlight: Hot Rod self, except this time everyone takes him more seriously.

>>82255997
Its actually probably those weirdoz with the symbol from the last scavengers issue

>>82256272
I kind of understand IDW, though.
You cant be having too many "Wise Heroic Leaders of Justice" types.

The writers probably feel that Hot Rod's idealistic, heroic ,impulsive, oft unwise ways is what differentiate him from OP.

And IDW's always taken care to shit on the "HEROIC WISE LEADERS"-tier characters. OP is still tries, but he has incredible bad luck. He always succeeds, mind you- he always comes through, and saves the day and the world, but gets no respect.I mean, just last chapter, a NOBODY told him basically that he wasnt a 'true Prime'.

Thunderclash is played for jokes.
Starsaber's supposed to be HEROIC LEADER OF BURNING JUSTICE, but now's just Zealot Burning Hate tier type.

IDW just hates heroes, I think.

>>82255445
>Nautica about to get a conjux

Nautica about to become a canon lesbian is upcoming I guess.

>>82256341
Megatron was a hero. Prowl is a hero.

>>82256341
The entire IDW TF series got kickstarted by Ratchet trying to be a hero.
Ratchet's one life at a time philosophy got Hunter, Verity Jimmy and Earth-based Autobots into troubles during the earlier -ations, and his "heroic nonsense" got him chewed out by Prowl.
Reminds me of
>we're not here to do the decent thing, we're here to follow fucking orders!

She's asking about Cybertronian customs so she wants some Cybertronian cock. It's probably Skids.

>>82256586
Either Skids, Brainstorm or Nightbeat.

I seem to recall something about "Nautica will not be shipped with anybody" though.

>>82256725

That was because she was the only gurl in MTMTE.

Now that there are two with more to come because tumblr bitched about Roberts only bringing in Velocity, Nautica can get shipped.

>>82258006
Roller is confirmed missing >>82255445
so not yet.

>>82258006
>>82258033
Besides Roller, who else could Tarn be? The implication was that whoever Megatron corrupted into Tarn was a big score for him.

>>82258109
Glitch, the Outlier who could shut down machinery with a touch, and who was said could learn to do it at a distance.

>>82258006
More or less. But he's really not much more confirmed than before.

>>82255331
Just like my Beast Wars!

Ok, I know that nobody cares, but here's how I imagined Hubcap's reason for joining Tarantulus:

Verity: "How could you do this Ironfist? What could make you work for this lunatic?"

Hubcap: "Revenge. For Ironfist."

Verity: "Ironfist? But Ironfist died because he had something wrong with his head. Prowl had nothing to do with that."

Hubcap: "It's more than that, Verity. Ironfist had a friend named Skyfall, but it turns out that Skyfall wasn't really Ironfist's friend. Skyfall wanted Ironfist's lab REALLY badly, so he tried a number of things to get Ironfist out of the picture. Eventually, Skyfall set up Ironfist's automatic-headshot-gun to shoot Ironfist in the head. It was only a matter of time before the bullet reached Ironfist's brain and killed him. And since Ironfist was living on borrowed time, Prowl had him put into the Wreckers, in order to get past Aequitas' suicide lock.

But it turns out sabotaging the headshot gun wasn't really Skyfall's idea. SOMEONE ELSE gave it to him... Would anyone like to guess who?"

Verity: "N-no..."

Hubcap: "It was PROWL. HE gave Skyfall the idea. HE set up Ironfist's death from the very beginning!"

...

But in the end, in a potential plot-twist, Prowl was never responsible for what happened to Ironfist. Tarantulus made Hubcap THINK Prowl was responsible by using a thought-gun (like Getaway has) to give him the idea, in order to use him.

B)The comics and toys don't always have to match up. They've said this. We've seen it in practice.

Tarn's insecurity is his downfall.

He just seems like the guy who would spend months telling you stories and morals.

Yeah as was the case with Bumblebee, but who knows really, maybe Barber wants to use him to shill the TR line.
Besides, his "preserve the head burn the rest" line in #50 seems like a precaution, or Roberts being a cheeky cunt.

I think it's shaping up that this is entirely the point of this arc - for Tarn and Megatron to see how similar and yet how different they are.

>>82255353
>>82255362
>>82255368
You know, as much as I like Captain Megatron, they are making it too obvious that he went full hippie because he is on dope.

The second they'll have to purge his system for whatever reason, he'll hate himself for it and become a twice as bad decepticon as he was.

Maybe right on the next issue if Ratchet repairs him.

Honestly, I really wonder how they'll get out of this. Short of getting Overlord to turn on Deathsaurus and the DJD, there's 0 chance for them to survive, other than some deus ex machina.

I really like that Overlord is back though. Here's hoping he'll stay longer this time.

>>82259588
Too small. Would be Omega Spreem.

>>82259668
Tarn killing one of his own men is likely to piss of Deathsaurus, so he may abandon the cause and/or even fight the DJD.

>>82259668
Yeah, it's disappointing that his progress has more to do with being doped up than him being himself.
I hope that he moves on from being drugged because this just feels shitty to me.

>>82259668
>>82259737
I don't think the dope is completely responsible for his state of mind, but more so it and time away from war has given him the clarity of mind to finally re-assess his life. It's like how if you were busy with work and life and had to be bedridden and on pain killers for a while suddenly. It would give you time to think things over. Yes, the drugs are effecting your mind, but these are still things you could have thought up otherwise in theory.

Either way, remember that Megatron did make his big conversion in Dark Cybertron, before he got doped by the Autobots. He may have softened more since (going full pacifist), but he clearly had some change of heart while still sober.

Although, maybe Hasbro (or even Roberts himself) wants Megatron back as a bad guy in the near future, so this is their out.

>>82259588
>>82259671

Not if he's Energon Omega.

>>82259870
Oh, I'm positive that IDW will return to the status quo when Hasbro needs it.

>>82260049

>>82255997

My theory is that the ones who rebuilt and sent Overlord were the Galactic Council. Maybe they were the ones Getaway called to get rid of Megatron, if we're going with the theory that Getaway isn't a 100% asshole.

If they did reboot or give the license to someone else, I imagine the new story would be much more status quo, so same effect in the end.

>>82260117
Or Black Ball Consortia

>>82255533
Has Verity even had a chance to learn about Stakeout's death yet? I must've missed that.
Why does every 'bot she loves die?

>>82260411
Because she's haunted by Circuit Breaker.

can someone explain to me the time during which sins plays?

>>82260456
>Circuit Breaker
Can't. Marvel owns the rights

How did Blackrock managed to get away?
He was her employer, wasn't he?

>>82260456
>>82260573

I kinda hope not.

we already have enough Transformers hating humans in the continuity.

Ha! I knew Overlord wasn't dead!

Yay me.

>>82261005
What about Transformers loving human?
Especially those of the "gets flowery over machinery" variety.

>>82261238
You got problem with world building, anon?

>>82261238

Says you.

Good dialogue doesn't always have to be funny.

>>82261365

What world building? There was zero we didn't know, Drift and Rodimus chat was flat as fuck, the confrontation with Tarn was also boring and we get ANOTHER piece of shit showing up out of nowhere because the story wasn't bloated enough. No-eyes-dog-guy died and I don't even remember his name yet.

This is just as awful as the middle parts of Remain in the Light, if not more since that atleast had a few cool revelations and characters talking like people.

>>82261396

No shit Boco I thought it was the neighbor's parrot that said it. If the best you can do is "well dats just your opinion" in a discussion then don't bother showing up.

>>82261625

Okay, fine. Tarn is great when he becomes philosophical, and the casual way he can keep talking while killing someone is one of my favorite parts.

He's totally Roller, by the way, isn't he?

>>82261751
>He's totally Roller, by the way, isn't he?
Or Glitch in a power armor. Tarn's head was just him using his hand like a sockpuppet.

>>82261185
>>82261212

Verity doesn't feel sick anymore....assuming what happens next doesn't kill her.

maybe there's a chance.

then again These are the Wreckers comics, shit like that won't end happily, bittersweet at best.

>>82261751
>>82261824

Or he's Dominus.

Or what if Tarn is all of the above?

>>82261916
But anon, Stakeout is dead

Anyway I think Tarn is Erector

Yeah Dominus was Roller all along.
And Tarn is basically Glitch and Dominus doing pic related.

>>82261824

Does he sound like Cookie Monster or Kermit?

So Roberts is like the Slott of IDW ?

>>82262075
The Count

>>82262111

One! One decapitated Kaon! Ah ha ha!
