If you want to get technical it's the third story arc but yes, it is

All sides converge on Troja Major as the race to unlock the secrets of a unique Cybertronian reaches its desperate, violent conclusion. As old secrets are revealed, Nautica must pay the ultimate price-by resorting to the ultimate currency.

Bottom page, first bubble: she's a Catharsian
what that actually means I've no idea, though it's presumably derived from "catharsis" which is definitely appropriate given then themes of this story...

It means it's another robot race. That's all. There's dozens of them. Some are possible colonies like the now extinct ardurians and others like some we've seen as part of Roms organization are just robots

At least killmaster was supposed to be stupid and it follows conventional transformer naming conventions, but I can't help but feel that Mengel is supposed to be clever or something. Like, it would've actually been better to just call her death angel.

It's probably Greek or Latin or something like that.
That's Roberts. He tries to make up clever unique names and it just tubs out to be a Greek or Latin word.

Yeah you're right, Mengel doesn't seem to be good and honest type. I Didn't get around to saying it when the last issue came out so I figured I'd throw the opinion out there now.

Ok, I actually bothered to look it up. The closest thing I could find was Mengel as an old German surname that derives from another, older German word for trader or peddler. It's still German, which doesn't dispel my original thought about what Roberts' might be referencing.
I'm fine with latin/greek names. They sound find while still conforming to transformers naming conventions in a way that better explains what a character is all about. I especially like, Trepan.
That was my first thought as well. But IIRC, Shockwave was already compared to and/or modeled after Dr. Mengele due to his experiments, though I'm not sure which writer started that.Ballistic90 wrote:Seriously? Everyone, it's a reference to the Nazi doctor:
