Because since the character only ever appeared in comics by Marvel Comics, THEY own the name, not Hasbro.

Hmmm.
But I thought that characters that appeared in the Transformers comic were still Hasbro's property. Isn't that why Marvel technically debuted Circuit Breaker in Secret Wars before Transformers? So they could claim ownership? Also, didn't Jhaxis already get a toy?

And, has anyone else noticed the transition from a focus on long range weaponry to more hand-to-hand combat weapons? I'm seeing many more axes, swords, knives, shields and hooks. I'm digging it. I have had a long standing debate with my wife over the values and mores that Transformers is teaching our children. While I truly believe that we as humans have an innate need for battle, it is still difficult to watch my son walk around and "shoot" everything and everyone in sight (yes, yes I teach him that it is wrong to shoot people, even in make-believe, but he's two, gimmie a break). With hand to hand combat, there is a grace and skill that brings a sense of honor to the concept of battle and warfare. Consider the inference we make when we see a BFG-wielding robot vs a svelte android carrying a expertly sharpened broadsword.
I'm probably totally off base here, but I thought it interesting.
Anyway, Darkmount is a "mostly win". For some reason, the blue color on the pick handle isn't sitting right. I'm hoping those ankles are a mistransformation.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Accidentally.

How about they use neither.
What an odd thing to say.

JesWal wrote:What I'm saying is that stabbing someone is much more personal than shooting someone. If you kill someone with a knife, you have to walk up to the person, pull out your knife, draw your arm back, and thrust the blade into their body. You watch them die, watch the light leave their eyes, feel their life-force ebbing away, knowing that if you'd turned back on the walk, or after you pulled out that knife, that person would still be alive. That's a mark you carry forever. Shooting someone is as simple as pulling the trigger and walking away.
