All this plus a very telling editorial as I look at Time Wars Part 5!
Time Wars really starts hitting the high notes are we discover Scoruge's sympathetic attitude towards mental illness; meet Roadbuster's little friend; discover the new interior at at Fortress Sinister and discover how much Springer cares about Sandstorm.

In a story filled with stand-out horrific imagery, the shots of Cyclonus strung up and Galvatron missing half his face are two that have really stuck in the mind since childhood. Top stuff from Dan Reed here.

Agreed, this is some excellent dark artwork. And some quite mature themes of both mental illness and the mess of changing your own history.

Yeah, that editorial is really odd. I mean, it's not as if Flames of Boltax ends on a cliffhanger or anything - there's no reason Time Wars couldn't slot in between Boltax and Cold War as originally published, is there? In an attempt to clarify the continuity, Furman's actually just making things more confusing!

I think this is definitely the best installment of Time Wars, it also has many of the most memorable scenes.

Considering the mess Time Wars is, that honestly doesn't say a lot.

I loved time wars, yes it was a confusing mess, I had no idea why ravage was underground, I'm still a little confused on the issue. I don't remember shockwaves troops deserting. I was confused why so many future autobots were old ones and why they started attacking their own comrades. But the violence, the utter visceral carnage and brutality thrilled my young teenage self.

By the way has anyone else noticed that some artists draw him having extended knee pads while others drawn said extensions as chaps?

I noticed that as a kid. I always preferred the Senior/Sullivan version. It's closer to the toy, looks more dynamic, and I can imagine him kneeing someone in the gut and it going right through them. The new Kingdom Galvatron figure had better have them....

Fool! Galvatron wears any type of trouser he desires!

That’s a good drawing of Roadbuster with the giant gun, and I like the Kirby dots forming in the barrel of the gun.
