rung is such a poor schmuck in these early issues. this poor man. god bless him.
it works though- he's so genuinely unassuming, you just instinctively feel bad for him. he shows up and you kind of want to sheepishly apologize.
Context not making this any less bizarre as a meet cute is one reason cdrw are one of the greatest romances of our time.
No really. I love Rodimus. So much. You absolute fucking idiot of a man!
Roberts really committing long term to the 'he's an insensitive prick' element without sheepish walkbacks is a ballsy move that pays off.
It's interesting how the cyclonus rodimus dynamic starts with them *on the same page*, that seems easy to overlook. Cyclonus is about the only person onboard for the reasons rodimus is- because he thinks he can find some idealized pre-war golden age to go back to.
Magnus in these earlier issues is a lot snippier, god bless him.
I love how much he fucking loathes Cyc.
i just can't find these lads menacing. they are too owo for me to be intimidated.
Also i just do not care much about Skids, but the introduction is good! Well paced.
There's not a lot of direct references in mtmte to prior idw rodimus canon in terms of specific events- general references like this where it just gestures in their direction is usually as much as we get.
One time i joked about Rewind's snuff film collection to @floralpunkcfb who went along with it but, I later found out, assumed I was joking til he read the issue and realised no, Rewind is fucking unhinged (affectionate).
