This week, it's the last quiet little issue before things really kick off and get interesting. But there's still some interesting tidbits to be found with the return of Staz and the exit of Scorponok. Plus, I open with a few thoughts on more recent events. Thanks to Becka for giving that the once over before I finished it. It's all in my look at SCORPION STING!

Here's a weird thing: Scorponok gets a profile _next_ issue, one that adds to this strip by revealing he's actually a sneaky sod that pretends to be mindless so you'll underestimate him. And that goes really well with 'we thought he was just a dumb robo-animal and now HE'S HUNTING US' plot, so why's it in the 'wrong' issue??

Hi Stuart - have to say, that’s a really good take on the Furman thing. As with Spotlight: Arcee, I think his issues are born out of ignorance and stubbornness, rather than any sort of maliciousness. I re-read his blog post the other day, which he wrote when the Arcee stuff blew up - rather than hold his hand up and say, “Oh my goodness, I didn’t intend for it to be read that way, I’m so sorry, I’ll try to do better in future”, his defence was just, “nope, sorry, I’ve had some positive feedback from some women therefore the issue must be that you just interpreted it wrong, you’re entitled to your opinions but I don’t agree.”

"So, very quickly, and with the above provisos, I certainly don’t personally think Furman is a Matt Moylan foaming at the mouth bigot."

No idea what Earth Wars is, nor do I understand why it needed a "Valentine's Day Special". Without the full screen caps, I can't see the full story, but from what you've written, it seems Furman is stamping on the idea of robots having deep, emotional relationships.
