Transformation 206: Ice to see you, to see you ice.

This week we return to the UK team's second favourite epic mass death Transformers story.

Yes, it's back to the Underbase, and a frosty reception for Scorponok's troops as they arrive at the SPACE island and Starscream has a great time playing everyone off against each other.

All this and the difference between a truck and a lorry in my look at Cold War! Part 1.

This image cracks me up for some reason:

He's like Blofeld in You Only Live Twice, "You can watch it all on television"

Apparently the William Tell comic never actually existed!

I remember that advert vividly!

I always thought it looked proper grown-up, and therefore not for me! A bit like those ads for Beauty and the Beast.

Cool info, and looks like there must have been shenanigans going on at Marvel UK. This is what I love about this blog, I get no shortage of new trivia. The real surprise is the comic seems to have been especially created.

Another good Budiansky/Delbo/Oakley issue. I’ve always remembered that “fleshy face” quote from the beginning of the review. And yes, Starscream is at his comics best here.

Starscream’s grin is weirdly human-looking. And pointy. This is one of those moments where you’re really taken out of the story and forcibly reminded that this is not the same character, not even the same species, from the cartoon.

John Carpenter’s “Apocalypse Trilogy” is great! Some would say that part three of that trilogy, “In the Mouth of Madness” (1994), is the last true John Carpenter movie, the last one that had that John Carpenter style and feel. “Escape from LA” (1996) is good too but “Vampires” (1998) was the beginning of the end.

My browser keeps thinking Weebly is trying to clickjack me because every time my pointer strays too close to the “Powered by Weebly” box at the bottom of the screen, it leaps out and shows me its ad!
