And Earthforce...well it still doesn't quite begin, but we're shuffling closer.
It's all in my look at ISSUE 262! Read it before Optimus Prime comes along and tells you to stop.
Also, I want you all making the Combat Colin cut outs before next week.

Will we be allowed tranquilisers when we get to 16 weeks of the EXCITIIIING Gi Joe crossover? I of course remember this as a brilliant way of ramping up the tension in MAAAAAAAATRON QUESSSSSST!!!!

Is that 'Next Week' box a composite image of Grimlock at the end of 'Victory' and a Prime from...Time Wars? Yes, from the end when he's facing off with Shockers.

Ha, it was bugging me it looked like either Senior or Sullivan, suggesting old art, but couldn't think of a Grimlock/Prime panel from either of them. So I just figured it must be from next week and whoever draws it just has that feel.

Eek, my deeply embarrassing letter to Dreadwind is published in the next issue. Please be kind!

It's interesting that, at this stage, Shockwave's troops are largely the same ones he had when he made his move against Scorponok in the US stories (with a couple of extras), but once the Earthforce era gets going some of them are depicted on Megatron's side.

I've never seen The Matese Falcon either, so like Ralph this story always falls a bit flat for me. I think the main problem with it is that, if you don't know Falcon (which a lot of the readers wouldn't have done), then there's not a lot else here to grip you other than the lovely art. The Big Shutdown was a lot better (IMHO), because it worked as a cool story regardless of whether or not you were familiar with the source material.

I don't know, I'd only seen MF within the last couple of years and I've always loved this. That can't entirely be down to liking The Falcon's Malteser when I was a kid.

I didn’t like that Siren got punched through the window. It should have been Nightbeat. He was the one insulting the thugs.

I never quite got the reference of the name “Bhgdad.” It sounds like it’s got something to do with Iraq. Is it just supposed to be a corruption of “Big Dad”?
