All in my look at the Transformers comic with the single worst cover of all time:
Second Generation! Part 1.
My PC should be sorted for next week, meaning the picture editing should go from utterly terrible to just mildly poor once more.

![]() This week we get one of my all time favourite images in the comic, and I'm not talking about Jessie's worryingly forward thrusting chest. We also get not one, but two lengthy recaps of the story so far, just in case you're not paying attention.

Is it just me or is that Motormaster's own arm sticking out of Menasor? Either he's the Zaphod Beeblebrox of the Transformers or even the box art artist wasn't terribly enthused.

Well that's ruined that cover for me. :(

Not sure I'd agree they were lost in the cartoon - they got the last ten episodes of the second season, they're prominent in a number of third season episodes like the Ultimate Weapon or the Return of Optimus Prime and they're amongst the few rare older toys in the Rebirth. If anything they're amongst the survivors. But yeah, the great hope of the future of the Transformers race isn't exactly seen much.

I actually like the Special Teams arc. Yes its shameless toy plugging, but its very well done - better than the dry stuff in the US comics where they're just built or whatever. This arc makes them a bit more interesting than just being the latest bunch of 'bots off the production line. The nightmare at the start works well - I don't think the arrival of the combiners towards the end of Buster's dream is as badly done at all. I never took the 'future of the Transformers race' stuff seriously though. That just came across as a bit of melodrama (it does read like various characters are booming this out though) and read it a bit more literally in so much that they will form part of the Transformers future and seem to represent an escalation in the conflict. In some ways, this is the one thing we've never seen the consequences of - except on the odd occasion where Devastator gets busted loose to yawn at cities (Dreamwave) or do proper smashing (IDW).

One year on vacation with my mom I saw Biggles: Adventures in Time on the hotel room cable TV service and I enjoyed it a lot. 25 years later I picked up a copy of it on VHS at a thrift store. I had not seen it again in all that time and it was not as good as I remembered. But I’m still glad I got to see it again.
