Death's Head: Transformers and the Doctor

angelophileDeath's Head continues his misadventures and attempts (and succeeds, in a couple of memorable cases) to kill various Cybertonians. Transformers have proved tricky costumers so far, but are apparently willing to offer big bucks, even if last time didn't go according to plan.
And, let's face it, neither does this.
From Transformers UK #133-134 and #146
Art by Dan Reed and Geoff Senior. Script by Simon Furman.

angelophileThe first appearances of Death's Head.
Not his origins, no, that will come later (and may get a little murky, yes), but the first time readers were introduced to the mechanoid bounty hunter with a superiority complex and a zeal for capitalism.
And he appears alongside another race of mechanoids with special abilities, right?

Yes, Starscream in this continuity is utterly deplorable. How about his seeker-bros, Thundercracker and Skywarp?

Apologies for the poor scan quality, but these Titan reprints have terrible binding, and I'll be damned if I'm buying another copy of this material.

Superior / Inferior
May. 8th, 2024 05:44 pmshakalooloo"Laughter to begin with was probably glee at the misfortunes of others. The baring of the teeth in laughter hints at its savage ancestry. Animals have no malice, hence also no laughter. They never savor the sudden glory of Schadenfreude. It was its infectious quality that made of laughter a medium of mutuality."

In this issue, Sparky gets to do what we all wanted to after watching that eighties movie.
Trigger warning for feels, and big punchy robots.

Meet Arcee!
Mar. 4th, 2024 08:18 amshakaloolooWell, the currentTransformers title sets out pretty early its stance on that whole 'female Transformers' thing! Shame that they also chose FIRRIB as their hill to die on! ;P
And damn, maybe it is just something as simple as speed lines, but the art continues to blow me away.

thanekosIt's enhanced by Daniel Warren Johnson's work on the book so far - how he's scripted and drawn sequences of tightly focused panels that're snapshot camera views from many different angles, bits of panoramas occasionally exposed more in larger splashes.
One side of the action's the Decepticons, who started menacing Earth at the end of issue #1.
The other side of it's the reaction to that.
( There's a reaction to the reaction. )

thanekosLike its precedent in 2021, it coincides with the Generations sub-toyline " Shattered Glass " - the one where the Autobots are the villains and the Decepticons are the heroes.
It picks up on Shattered Glass #5's ending - the deposed warlord Goldbug having the solace of controlling a Titan of Cybertron, and Ultra Magnus gaming out the ripples of that.
Shattered Glass II #1 focuses on Magnus after that, tracking both narratively and with him being the first of five in Shattered Glass' second wave.
It also focuses on Magnus before that - Ultra Magnus, legal adviser to the then-up-and-coming Orion Pax.
( Ultra Magnus, who received a promotion. )

thanekosIssue #4, the focus on Goldbug of the Autobots, had ended on the latest turn in the miniseries' " Autobots're the villains, Decepticons're the heroes " setting - Goldbug threatening the life of a captive Starscream, the Decepticons attacking that Autobot warlord's Gold City to rescue their comrade, and Jetfire shocked on the sidelines.
Issue #3, the Starscream focus, established Jetfire as a colleague of Starscream's who'd thrown in with the Autobots for expediency and convenience.
Issue #5 saw him, faced with Goldbug and Starscream, with the Autobot's threats and the Decepticon's entreaty, lash out - at Goldbug.
( The blow cracked the Autobot's faceplate. )
