So, first things first: Optimus Prime, in which our titular hero continues to ruin everything.

Next up: Lost Light, in which everything moves slowly and Roberts does his best to make fascism sympathetic.

I mean, one of the protagonists in this issue is a fascist who quit after they got too hypocritical.
(Also, you know, Megatron.)

Ha ha, time for FUN! It's Action Man and Friends, featuring the Micronauts, knockoff English Cobra Commander, and bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong!

>>90499516
Wait, you're not me!

Have a bump.

>>90499978
Thanks, man. Just thought I'd do this so you have a storytime in the archives to link to.

>>90499995
Well, thanks for that then.

Also, Storytime is going to be late tomorrow, but it will happen.

Action Man has skewed priorities, which I can relate to.

Next time on Revolutionaries: Barber brings in General Blitz and Soundwave, and goes even deeper down the fanwank rabbit hole.

And... aw, jeez. I'll be really happy if the thread 404s before this is over.

So, in a few sentences please... Why does MASK suck so much exactly?

Ludicrous continuity errors, horrible and insipid dialogue, and a general lack of storytelling skill.
Also, hackneyed plot twists.

>>90500254
>continuity errors
I'm intrigued now. What did they fuck up?

Literally nothing in the first couple of issues lines up with Revolution, and the start of issue 2 contradicts the end of issue 1.
Also, they call Dr Mindbender "Verstal Bender" when his name's been established as Armand Singh, and the plot seems to rely on the heroes not recognising the VENOM guys until they take their masks off. Despite them having been wearing their masks throughout Revolution.

Oh, thank God, it's over.

>>90500463
And now you understand my pain.

>>90500463
Is that LIIVI?

>>90500498
LIIVI a shit and eldar/human hybrids will never be canon.

>>90500661
Dark elder rape.
Check.

>>90499575
>"birth of cybertron" = birth of a nation.
subtle and well played.

Has Triggerhappy ever appeared on IDW?
I only know Misfire from Scavengers and Slugslinger from that weird combiner in AHOP.

>>90500071
He is incredibly fun and cute so it's excused.

Also I can see how Kup is so fond of him that he's willing to go on a rampage without any careful planning just to get him back.

>>90500463
They need to change writer for MASK

>>90502407
He was a background character for a while, then got killed by Arcee.

>>90500108
Kup with wings is the best TF-thing I've seen all year

>>90506265
third-party vehicle for Titans Return Sargeant Kup when?

>>90499533
>The Decepticon cause is not intrinsically violent
Soundwave you poor naive fool

>>90499654
Damn woman, Thundercracker's right there.

>>90499816
>Megatron's got religion
Man, I only just wandered into this thread without any context, I'm going to have to do some backtracking to get to the bottom of all this.

All this stuff looks really interesting, thanks for sharing anon.

>>90509626
>Megatron's got religion
Nah, Megs is an atheist.

>>90507248
Only if it 1) converts into a battlesuit and 2) comes with Titan Master Action Man.

>>90500206
Thank you. I miss the previous MASK storytime And I don't care, but I'm going to read it now

>>90499516
I want this Wreck-Gar cover as a poster.

>>90512030
Don't we all.

Oh shit a catch up storytime? Thanks Anon!

>>90499551

It's a "No one ever remembers Frenzy/Rumble/Blueguy causes widespread mass hallucinations" issue huh?

>>90514242
I don't remember him ever causing hallucinations with his sonic attack, just vertigo if anything.

>>90515088

AHM had him doing it. Also at some point later on they had to recover Frenzy because his own power makes him crazy too.

It's just one of those things like Hotrod being able to just explode flames out of his body that they always forget about (except when they suddenly bring it up again years later).

>>90514242
>>90515158
The Sharkticons hallucinated him as a giant metal donut.

>MASK

Should've just given it to Quackenbush.

>>90516387

I don't think anything could save MASK. Not that it's that bad or anything, just that it's just not that good of a property.

>>90518470
Mike Quackenbush's pitch was a continuation of the cartoon.

>>90500015
So many ugly haircuts, so little time.

>>90508840
She probably doesn't mean him since TC is the only Cybertronian she sincerely likes (and the only one she bothered to get to know) but yeah he is still a Cybertronian and her comment would cut deep.

I guess after living through AHM and seeing the shit with the Junkions build up she just gave up.

>>90515158
>except when they suddenly bring it up again years later
I take full credit for reminding Roberts about that.

Waiting for the annual.

>>90526628
Revolutianon's gonna be storytiming it later.

>>90526628
same here, need some Bumblebee Origins soon......

more bump

Alright, I'm heading home from work in five. If Revolutianon's storytime isn't up by the time I get back, I'll do one.

>>90531803

It's still not out in the Win-O tho

Some guy's SPOILERS from TFW about the annual

Are you ready?
Set after Optimus Prime story 1. Optimus and Pyra visit the Crystal City singularity. Starscream and Ghost Bee follow them. We find out how Bee and Prime met, and we find out why Pyra thinks she should be the next Prime. Also find out what Dust Up's secret is. At the end, we have Starscream say that he knows he's imagining Bee...then we find out he's not. Ghost Bee is actually Bumblebee. Inside the singularity, the city is whole and Bumblebee is somehow able to communicate with Starscream. Also Onyx Prime.

>>90533064
What

>>90533064
Why not just read the TFWiki article if you want spoilers?

Storytime's going to be up in a minute, just having some issues with Micronauts.

>>90533341
Yay, thanks m8.

And we're up, albeit delayed.
>>90533618

>>90500375
This series isn't nearly MASK enough for me but bringing Bruno back as a killer cyborg was stupid awesome.
