This page is here for two reasons. One: to recreate a scene I drew 1997 which in turn was inspired by Ratchet's repair attempt of Optimus Prime in “Funeral for a friend!”:
Note that this Speedstream was also damaged by a Turbo Master. That was the inspiration for the main conflict in this story.
Second to show the toys which I thought wouldn't go out into battle.
Another Sizzle (and what ugly colours…) He was already mentioned on page 7.
Admit it, before Transformers Animated you wouldn't've had heard of
Mainframe
Push-Button
If you knew the Push-Button toy, you knew what'll go pop the next second :D
First Aid
Rest-Q knock-off
Behold my mad painting skills! XD I can do somewhat better now.
That's all, folks!
Well, almost. Tomorrow a coloured pin-up so that the outcome of the story won't be spoiled for unsuspecting first-time readers.

Great layout... I like how the heavy blacks structure the page. Also, as usual: Insane amount of details.

darth_paul: It wasn't meant as a homage, but okay, I'll go with that^^

I knew about Mainframe before TFA, but only because I have every issue of the Dreamwave More Than Meet the Eyes profile issues. I also noticed that you put in Go-Bot Rest-Q in the panel before I scrolled down to your images of the toys. Nice homage to current TF comics putting in Go-Bots in the background.

DAJB: You know, the older my stuff on which I build upon now the more secure I feel. It's stuff which is floating around for quite some time now, I'm used to and comfortable with it, it's something which I can modify easily to express the issues curretly moving me and don't have to make everything up from scratch (a bit of horror vacui there) and it's, hm, simply [i]mine[/i]. Zeph: thanks.

Heh. Nothing quite like paying homage to your own the past! Great stuff!
