All Hail Megatron 13 Review


Ender

Recommended Posts

It may say All Hail Megatron on the cover but don't expect the past year's business as usual in this issue. AHM #13 is the first of four issues, some times called Coda, that will feature two eleven page stories leading into the upcoming Transformers ongoing monthly.

As much as I feel the artstyle in this issue is an abomination of Movie-style, cross-bred with G1, I do see Prime having a mouth as necessary for the enjoyment of refreshing beverages. What else would you have him do? Pour it in his chest? Absorb it through his hands? Or maybe he should suck it up through a bendy straw wedged under the edge of his faceplate.

I actually like the bendy straw idea. :lol

I'm with the bendy straw as well (or the fact that being robots they DONT NEED TO DRINK), personally I find G1 Optimus with a mouth an abomination... it was only a few years ago that they released an ultimate Transformers guide which catagorically showed (in a cutaway diagram) that Optimus Prime doesn't have a mouth. Plus even if he did, he wouldn't look like a vampire wearing an 80's TV on his head.

 

In general the artstyle is quite good & works in part, trying to bridge a little distance between knew movie fans and the oldskool children of the 80's... also it does appear to explain WHY they can move their metal faces/bodies (things call joints).

Jeez, I didn't even have to read this post. As soon as I saw that they gave Optimus a mouth in the preview pics, I KNEW that everyone would say the story sucked because they gave Optimus a mouth. Like I sais, jeez....

In the marvel comics, both G1 and G2, there was evidence of Prime having a mouth underneath, or at the very least, the structure over which a faceplate with a mouth would be laid. His internal structure as depicted in the comics did have a humanlike skull underneath.

 

Also, there's actually less of an argument for robots not needing to "drink". Modern machinery requires fluids just as much as we do. Whether it's fuel, coolant, hydraulic fluid, or lubrication, transformers would definitely need a practical means to take it all in.

Personally didn't like the movie-ish artstyle, especially since it made Prime and Ironhide look like they wandered off the set of Terminator, or maybe He-man. The story itself was ok, a smart young leader learning from the grizzled veteran and in the end earning the latter's respect. Not groundbreaking, but good enough.

 

I preferred the second story, the one with Starscream. That was all kinds of joygasm.
