I like that we get hints of a momoformer subculture, I find stuff like that interesting. As somewhat discriminated against (Being a monoformer is at least considered *weird*), it makes sense they'd look out for each other.


Oh yea, and Fort Max is back!

It's one of the four things Roberts cited in his " this'll be like A meets B.. " concept of the series.

The other three were Doctor Who, Arrested Development, and Dark Star.

Next issue starts with "You know if you mentioned it was an AUTOBOT who wanted him, we'd have voted to sell."
