Am I reading this right? McCarthy actually using someone from the 1990s?zigzagger wrote:A few folks have speculated that it's Deluge from the G2 line. The head matches, anyway.
OMG.
They killed DIRGE??? Damn you McCarthy!
OMG!
I suspect that might be the case. Deluge, even if the only panels he appears in were drawn by Su, also looks like something Su would have (re)designed (i.e. the kibble, the exposed fuel lines and joints, etc). That, or the script called for a Decepticon scientist, and someone either looked it up or suggested Deluge be thrown in there.inflatable dalek wrote:The script probably "A Decepticon stands there" and eithwer Guido or Su picked the actual character. I suspect something similar got Roadbuster into the comic.
Or based on what he also does to Dirge perhaps McCarthy hates all Decepticons with names begining with D and will be killing them all by the end of the title? Alas poor Devastator, he's probably going to collapse under his unwieldy proportions in issue 10.zigzagger wrote:I suspect that might be the case.

I did work on the redesign, but the character was specifically named in the script.zigzagger wrote:I suspect that might be the case.

Personally, I don't like what I've seen so far (though it's improving), yet I want to give it a fair shake. I prefer singles to trades just through personal preference, and also after the whole Dreamwave fiasco I like to get stuff as it becomes available.*Red Dave Prime wrote:1.) So many of you dont like the book, fair enough. But you still buy it... I cant understand this. At least if your curious wait until the far cheaper trade paper back surely?
The problem is- as of issue 6- Megatron has been a very minor character we've had barely any focus on him at all. Ironically the bits that have focused on him have tended to be the best in the series but what we've got isn't how it was sold to us, and the title is a part of that.Red Dave Prime wrote: 2.) Why does the title matching the story seem so important? So many of you have posted comments complaining that it doesnt feature enough of megatron or the decepticons to justify the title but I have to ask: What would? Issue after issue of the decepticons praising their leader?
