![]() This week, three lovable (if you define lovable as "Cuntish") children are caught up in a fight between Defensor and Bruticus. Also at risk: Their teddy bear. Amazingly Scorponok's bubble plan is the most sensible part of the issue. All in my look at issue 141!

Yeah... it's just... it's terrible isn't it? I wonder why Bob decided to take this kiddie approach so late in the day - under instruction from Marvel or just insanity?

I think he may have been trying to emphasise just how far off the rails Grimlock has gone - threatening a kid or worse is one of the standard ways of instantly upping a villain's meaness factor in a way that smashing through a RAAT contingent wouldn't.

Yeah, it was issues like this (very much mimicking Snowcatt here), that threw up in bright neon that Transformers was for kids at a time I was feeling like I wanted to grow up and read more manly stuff like The Beano. Again, its not that the kids were terrible... more than Grimlock was being an utter dick and really most of the robots were coming across as barely more credible than their cartoon counterparts.

I wonder if the reaction to the movie had anything to do with it? It caught Hasbro/Sunbrow by surprise and they had to backtrack on Prime's death.

I was pushing 8 years old when this came out and must admit to identifying with the kids. They seemed nowhere near as as stupid or stubborn as RAAT. I also felt strangely relieved that The Ark seemed to be fixed. That had been stressing me out! The Autobots had gone from Ratchet scavenging for radiators in a human junk yard to fixing Cybertron's best ship

That is the main saving grace of Grimlock's leadership for me, he's clearly not taking any shit from the lazy sods.

Tease!

I wonder if either Bob Budiansky or Jim Shooter made it a principle that in a “Transformers” comic book the average bystander should never be blasé about the sight of Transformers. And that’s why we get all the comic-relief humans like the railway man in this entry’s quote.
