6) Probably because the TFU model was the only one they had.
7) I think there is, possibly in the back of TF Generations

I dunno, they had all the US comics he appeared in as a reference too, and the Factfile Interface that he appeared in in the UK comic (which used line art based on the box art). I just suspect that after being scolded by Marvel US for drawing the early UK stories like the toys (as revealed in one of James' books) they were taking the instruction to follow the model sheets they were given at all costs a bit too far.
Couldn't find a visored Blaster in my copy of Generations or The Complete Ark.

1. expect Skids suggested they scan earth modes after being rebuilt at RAAT. 2 - go back to the US comic & Cybertron modes which look like earth modes but on raised legs. Seaspray could have tracked the Aerialbots back & gone by sea - but then he might have detected Shockwave & the island base. 3. wasn't it stated that the aerialbots returned to base before skids zapped to Limbo? need to re read that first page. They could have gone by road with Perceptor & Blaster in Skids then but Simon needed them in the middle of nowhere for the Galvatron battle & close enough to scare Shockwave.

Maybe they were travelling in vehicle mode for the most part but Transformers feel the need to stretch their legs every so often, so to speak.
This is one of my all time favourite issues; fantastic Senior art, Furman handles the large cast well and uses the page count efficiently and the concept is hair-raising to the readers who remembered Target: 2006. Great cliffhanger, too. No offence to Anderson, but I wish part two had been by Senior as well.
"Skids?"

I find no fault with Anderson's art in part 2 (I actually quite like it) but as a child I felt initial disappointment in it after the amazing Senior dynamic art of part 1. Some of his best work, I think.

I quite agree. Anderson's art on part 2 is very good, but as you say Senior's on part one is some of his best, and the prospect of him drawing Galvatron vs the Dinobots is mouth watering.

Rather selfishly, it's alright for me. I still haven't picked up volume 3 due to the huge backlog in my reading pile.

As for me the previous three volumes are the best things in Transformerdom since the Titan hardbacks and Masterforce DVD box set, rather selfishly, it's _not_ alright for me. Martin |
