i like the idea a surgeon is useful because it's wired into a body. that's great.

they really sell me on these two. i do 100% believe in the dynamic set up here, with the little affectionate asides earlier and the confidence it's presented with.

yes yes foreshadowing, but also, rewind and rung come up surprisingly often in little ways, and i think that potential was a little untapped for story opportunities. that bit where rewind reacts to rung's transformation noise in LL 23(?) is in the *notebooks*!

the outlier thing never quite gets used in a way that justifies how much work goes into it imo. but look. i read a lot of xmen comics back in the day, I'm not immune.

yeah, there it is. nobody SAYS it, but try coming up with a plausible explanation for this if cdrw aren't married.

also, callback to "death of". i think the last time prowl's failed defection comes up til the 'Peaceful Revolution' callback barber does YEARS later.

THIS IS SO FUNNY

...astute readers of this overlong livetweet may have picked up on one reason i enjoy this arc so much.

why DOES this mirror the overlord-megatron fight..? i feel like there's a reason I'm missing.

but also, cyclonus is very much the real deal to drift's bluff. I like that, hah. these two characters feeling so distinct despite sharing a lot of conceptual stuff is cool.

this seems like kiiiind of OTT foreshadowing given this will pay off in a side story of no HUGE importance, but at the time i assume it was also supposed to link to rewind's fake 'uv allergy' coming up in

notably cd is going to go through this whole big heist story revealing the conspiracy of the institute and what it does... and THEN join it.

he's not got a great moral compass, that one. it's ok tho he has rewind for that now. proooobably best he dumped prowl.

chromedome has always been a morbid weirdo. hears about the 'digging around dead brains' department and perked right up. god bless. you're gonna do SO many war crimes.

when we talk about marvel influence on idw, it surprises me that the ongoing thing of 'making it the creation matrix' tends not to get brought up. it being a whole meta Thing that they've misunderstood it in-fiction seems worth poking at.

the relinquishment clinics somehow getting from hyper-dystopian pawn shop to wartime suicide clinics is something that always feels like maybe a potential thread got dropped.
