Transformation 277: Plane Sailing.

1/9/2017

This week, on Transformation, the blog that looks at the British Transformers comic at a once a week rate, we examine the first part of the conclusion of the Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover. I, Stuart Webb, 35 from the town of Kidderiminster, find the exposition to bring new readers up to speed a little chunky.

Plus, Shockwave wings it in his battle with Shockwave and YOU can save Combat Colin!

All in my look at ISSUE 277!

I recall being excited by the MICRO COMP as it meant I got to see a panel of Geoff Senior's art from A SMALL WAR in colour. Simpler times.

SPECIAL TEAMS!

Couple of major text snarl-ups there, mate. One in the first paragraph, one in the bit about the letters page.

Whoops, not sure how that happened as it's not in the original word document, but should be fixed now!

I have no comment on this issue, I think it's another one where my subscription failed me. I have no memory of it.
I actually found an old transformers comic today. It's the one where fortress maximus got rebuilt en route to Earth. Which got me wondering, was that a big (pun intended) retcon because nobody had seen the toy at the time of the headmasters mini series, and nobody knew about "cerebros"? And did the comic just ignore that scorponok never underwent a similar scaling up?

The blog entry suggests the big fight is Shockwave vs Shockwave. Is this a deliberate attempt to do "Dreadwind fails to answer questions correctly", alongside the deliberate attempt at horribly clunky exposition?

That’s a great cover image!

Over here we know it as “Ring Around the Rosie,” and upon further Googling, I was saddened but not surprised to see that what we were taught in elementary school, which was that it was about the Black Plague, is of course incorrect. Nothing is ever what we were told it was!

It’s weird seeing Omega Supreme casually sitting down on the building like that.

I vaguely remember there was some sort of significant background detail or mystery as Storm Shadow walks past “Karate Killer.” Sadly it’s been too long, I can’t get at my “GI Joe” comics right now, and a quick Google reveals nothing.
