Transformation 92: Sellotape Me Up.

14/2/2014

Reading back on what I've written this week, I'm worried the quality of the story may have actually sent me genuinely mentally ill. If this is your first time on the site, I can only assure you they're not all like this.

In the previous ones, I was only pretending to be a crazy.

See what affects my state of mind in my look at Heavy Traffic! Part 2.

Excitingly, with three Addendums, One Annual, one set of collected comics, the movie adaptation and the poster magazine under my belt, next week will actually be the 100th entry in this series. I may mention that a lot.

well look on the bright side

next issue will be decepticon graffiti and while its not exactly a great story its still an upswing from this one
so there is that

...yeah i got nothing heavy traffic is one of the worst at least afterdeath is even more awfull

and even much more better !
after decepticon graffiti we get prey the harder they die distant thunder and fallen angel !

which isnt saying much to be honest if the bar is so low

i forgot all about the christmas issue in 93
at least the quality will have a sharp rise upwards after decepticon grafitti

and then will plummet down when its time for afterdeath

It's almost as though someone wouldn't let Menasor be defeated by Superion alone - here Circuit Breaker tips the odds and in their cartoon debut Superion needs the help of Omega Supreme. Heck even the episode that's supposed to be selling Bruticus has Menasor save the day.

But yes, this is one of the lowest points of Bob's work. Having so many new toys dumped on his desk all at once and having to work them into a restricted setting must have been depressing.

other low points are afterdeath

i hesitate to include the cure because other then one logical fallacy it is a pretty decent story otherwise

cash and carnage isnt exactly great either

monstercon from mars is another low point ( it has circuit breaker in it so it cant be anything but a dissapointment )

the mechanibals two parter is another low point and we cap it off with a wresteling disaster

i personally never hated the space hikers as so many other tf fans seem to do

I guess Donny Finkleberg could have had Walter Barnett’s phone number from when they were originally meeting to plan the Robot Master idea.

IIRC this is the issue with lettering by a bunch of different letterists, instead of Janice Chiang lettering the whole comic. The credit for letterer goes to “Hans Iv”—code for “four hands” perhaps?—and I remember recognising Phil Felix’s style among the letterists used. I don’t have my “Transformers” comics collection handy so I can’t check on any others.
