Why have I also got the feeling that the hand of titan returns is intermingled with this.

Probably the best 4 words. Also, Roberts said via Twitter that if 55 were the last issue, it would be a great series finale, so I feel the Knights and the map and the weird symbols will play out somehow with this.
And as for deaths: with Titans return being brought up in the description, I'm going to hazard some guesses:
die: Nightbeat, Brainstorm, Rodimus, Ten, Ravage

Man, I'd pay Has/Tak real money for a figure of that Rodimus/Hot Rod design in plastic (although perhaps in slightly more red/less orange colors; e.g. something like his CW figure's colors though if I had to I could correct any miscues in coloration with paint myself). Preferably in Deluxe size or larger (Voyager~Leader would be ideal). I hope this is one of the designs appearing in the comics because Hasbro has plans on making it for real in the upcoming toyline somewhere, not just another throwaway design for a character that they have no plans to use.

With that, we have official confirmation that MTMTE will be ruined, just like CW ruined Transformers. I'd really hoped this title would be spareds, but it looks like the fucking bastards at Hasbro need more toy commercials. I'm out, there is no point in even finishing the current arc, I'll just read the wiki in a couple months. Good luck to those of you sticking it out.

Believe me, that has been my hope for a while now. unfortunately, he has had that design for over 4 years now and still nothing. It has been rumored that a Titans return Rodimus is being made, but it will be a deluxe and based on his G1 self, not this one unfortunately

I need this variant cover. I'm also highly anticipating the first issue of a new ROM comic in more than 30 years next month. Glad IDW was able to get a hold to the rights of the character.

Damn, that's a real bummer, I absolutely fell in love with the design the moment I saw it (so much so that I actually clicked on the news thumbnail for it even though I almost never read or even view any of the comics related topics since I don't really read them, which I'm sure you can tell based on the fact that I had no idea this iteration of the character even existed until now even though it's apparently been around for 4 years). Any idea if any of the third parties are planning on doing one? Also, does anyone have any pics of his alt mode for this form handy by any chance? I'd love to see what that looks like.
Sorry everyone for dragging this a bit OT, but I'm just really stuck on this design from the comics (hopefully that's just relevant enough to consider these comments not too topic-derailing in nature). I'll leave it be after these questions so the thread may return to its regularly scheduled programming.

No matter what, I'm really looking forward to reading MTMTE for the next 6 months. (Last issue I read was #44.)

Rodimus: you seem to be a bit behind! Better catch up! 47 is one of my favorites
Posted by Rodimus Prime on April 19th, 2016 @ 10:12am CDT
I have a problem. I can't read just 1 issue at a time. It's not enough. So I read MTMTE by the volume. I'm all caught up, volume 8 ended with issue #44. Volume 9 hits next month. Volume 10 will have The Dying of The Light arc. So I won't find out what happened with Megatron and the DJD until volume 10 comes out, probably around October or November.D-Maximus_Primal wrote:Rodimus: you seem to be a bit behind!

Beware for after the black and white as well as the colored image, we will quote Milne on something he commented on in response to someone's question about the cover, so there is a potential spoiler.

Megatron doesn't kill anyone. Instead, by his lack of action, by his choosing to hide and command from a distance rather than face the threat, someone or some bots die, and he is responsible because he either gave them an order, like "go down that alleyway" and they died, or because he could have fought with them and prevented their deaths.

That is emotion, pure and simple. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe how well Milne had made Megatron look repentant and sad, tragic loss sad. It's incredible

He needs more of the middle ground, for all those millions of years he fought and it achieved nothing but horror and bloodshed, goes to the other extreme and bots are still being hurt by his actions that were done ages and ages ago.
He needs courage to go forward, strength of spirit to fight for what he truly believes now, and wisdom to learn from his past and acknowledge his unsurmountable past. The other crucial thing he needs is humility that's been growing slowly.
Of course this is just what I think megs needs to continue, but no doubt Roberts has other intentions

The Galactic Counsel hates Megatron since he is now doing their job of protecting organics whereas he used to hate them. The council fears being replaced, so they rebuild Overlord to kill Megatron, teaming up with Getaway, who puts the mutiny into action. He removes Rodimus and company with the thought that the council only promised to kill Megatron and the others would live. So he's not the total slimeball he's come off as, but he still is slime. Then Tarn shows up somehow (Beginning to wonder about that, coincidence or not. Getaway should know the DJD wouldn't spare the Autobots, so if he summoned them to get Megatron off the ship by attacking Necroworld, did they somehow promise to spare the others as an empty promise?) but the council is ok with this since they want him dead too. But the council has no intent of letting the other Autobots live. Maybe they arranged for the DJD to attack and summon Megatron there then unleash Overlord, but weren't expecting Deathsaurus' group? I'm not sure about that.
And then, Megatron has Trailcutter's forcefields, enabling him to use the panic bubble to save himself. And of course, Deathsaurus is about to have a conscience attack courtesy of Rewind and Swerve, spurring him into Defending Megatron.

That is true.
But that is also what leads to my confusion. Why are the DJD there then, if they weren't Getaway's plan to begin with, especially since they provided the way to get Megatron off the ship? That whole part is not clicking for me yet

Actually, a thought: They have been tracking down the ship right? They even said that they couldn't catch the Lost Light. So they attacked Necroworld by themselves, and when Rodimus and Megatron decided to investigate, Getaway used that as the opportunity to mutiny. The mutiny was set, they just needed the chance for the captains to leave, and they did, so the trap was sprung, without anyone realizing that the DJD were there.
That helps me make some sense of things

Yeah; that, and reading on TFWiki reminds me that Tarn broadcast the signal as a lure. And maybe there wasn't an arranged place for Getaway to drop them off, it just happened to be the Necroplanet - and that's why it took so long for Overlord to get there!

Problem solved! Yay us!
Now, since Getaway did not want any Autobots to die, I wonder what he will think when he learns Skids died...

As to why the DJD showed up, that is a mystery. The Galactic Council certainly isn't happy about it, and neither is Getaway if his concern for the rest of the crew is sincere.
Off-hand, I wonder if Getaway knew that the Galactic Council would send Overlord. I would guess the answer is "no" if he expected the rest of the crew to survive the encounter.

I like this better than my theory.
EDIT: What kept hanging me up was the fact that the crew was stranded after the Rodpod was destroyed. I forgot that they would have been stranded anyway because the Rodpod only had the juice for one jump and couldn't jump back. Getaway likely wasn't aware that Team Rodimus had been attacked, because his plan was just to strand the ship wherever the group went to so that the Galactic Council could move in after.

Well, there is that conjecture on the wiki, but I'm not sure it has been made clear in the book itself who attacked the Necrobot. I am inclined to think it was the DJD at this point, but the full circumstances have not been made clear yet.

But consider this: If it was Overlord who set the trap, wouldn't he have arrived sooner or actually been at the fortress to greet Megatron and kill him there?

Read my post.
I am just pointing out that the solution isn't quite clear yet, as I do not recall Tarn or anyone else taking responsibility for killing the Necrobot or sending the distress signal in the comic, even though I think that theory is likely correct.

I read your post, I was just agreeing with you and providing something else I had thought of while reading through other posts.
And I'm looking back through, and I'm pretty sure you're right that no one has taken responsibility for killing Necrobot. We can only assume that this point.
But also using an assumption: what if the Lost Light actually comes back for these guys, if Getaway is anyway alarmed that the council intends to kill the other Autobots, maybe he will come back, and something else in 3 weeks time comic time wise is the reason they are radio silent.

Maybe they intend to use it to kill hundreds of cons, Megatron, and any other robot that so happens to be there. It all comes down as a win for the counsel.
