JSA Storytime: Transformers

Good evening owls and robofuckers,

I laughed at that Pipes toy and then I felt bad :(

Hey ST!

>I laughed at that Pipes toy and then I felt bad :(
Does it make me a bad person that I just terrorized people on Discord with it's existence and laughed instead?

I love that JRo was all ALEX LOOKA THIS

Optimus with a mouth still upsets me every time I see it. I'll never get used to it.

Hello, Storyteller.

Y'know what might be a fun TF series? Babylon 5, but on Cybertron. Take the Council of Worlds idea, and just just go full in on that.

You're too soft, ST! Gotta embrace your inner Decepticon!

Specifically G1 Optimus. Other OPs often have a visible mouth from the jump, so it doesn't even register, but G1 Optimus is known for the plate.

I've gotten used to the idea of it being removable, but likewise unless he's eating or drinking I don't want to see G1-style Prime without it.

I grew up with Beast Wars Optimus, so him without a mouth (and that deep gravely voice) always made him look mildly villainous to me. Has Peter Cullen ever played a bad guy outside of that one episode of Megas?

HEY OP, I'M SHOUTING BECAUSE THAT COVER IMPLIES ITS VERY WINDY

I'd love that shit, though it being set on Cybertron itself runs into the issue that Cybertron just ain't built for people who aren't 30 feet tall and capable of turning into a car. Even disreguarding the scale and enviornmental issues, Cybertronian city planning is made with the residents being able to turn into vehicles in mind, which means that their idea of ideal city planning probably looks a lot like Dallas, massive highways would basically be pedestrian paths.

Ironically setting it on an actual Babylon 5 expy might make more sense in-universe, since it could be built with accommodations for all the species involved.

>this M. Bison looking motherfucker
Has anyone here ever played Gunstar Heroes?

Thanks, I need something to wash away seeing Doctor Midnite ripped apart and Wes' corpse stepped on

BEST BOYS

Not that I know of, though I once saw a thing where he and Welker each read as the other's character.

Was she at least killed by somebody better than fucking Eclipso?

>VERY WINDY
But I don't see any Jet Waifus on there anywhere!
[Insert Seinfeld Theme Here]

shade ripped him in half

A madman storytimed Maneaters, and what the fuck is Cain's brain problem?

Panel 5 Optimus looks so friendly! Like he's trying to get me a great deal on a mortgage!

I was thinking more just take the colonies and have them be nations on Cybertron. We don't really need aliens for this.

I knew you'd like Kup. He's basically Wildcat as a giant robot, or at least that archetype.

Do we still get meaningless Purple vs Green wars?

These two make me feel comfy by proxy whenever they show up together. Some books have been meh, but I'm glad we detoured to Action Man to get to know Ian before he met Kup.

>Shade killing Heroes
>And Pieter of all Heroes
God damn.

Ideally, no. I too am sick of the Bot/Con conflict being fucking obligatory. It'd be nice to see these characters explored free of the context of the war.

Hold on, are Arcee and Kup meant to be friends? If so, how did I miss that? I kinda dig that idea, actually.

johns is trash

I kind of want that vehicle to reveal itself as a Cybertronian during a pivotal moment.

Maneaters is the most disappointing shit, Cain's such a loony toon and I wanted the book to be full-on old school radical feminism that you just don't see anymore, but it's actually just boring and trite.

Honestly that sounds like a recipe for a fake-out to me

That HAS to be a record for a character that's not explicitly a villain.

wow he really is just robo wildcat right down to being immortal

>Has Peter Cullen ever played a bad guy outside of that one episode of Megas?
Motherfucking VENGER, son.

shade used to be a villain

>Pyra
>first line of dialogue is bitching about Optimus
-sigh- Everyone who participated in the poll must've been fucking pissed when this is what they got.

Though I do like that even Arcee is telling her to shill her shit for a damn second.

nope, he was a good boy who did nothing wrong

No fuckin' way!

I agree with this take on Cain--the actual period stuff was the most interesting and sincere stuff in the book, the body horror and grossness etc.

robinson please

>I too am sick of the Bot/Con conflict being fucking obligatory
YOU DIDN'T WATCH BABYLON 5!


Which reminds me, how available are Rising Stars trades nowadays? I have the first volume and probably outta track down at least the end of that arc.

Yeah, but he was a "Steal this shit, book" villain not a "MUAHAHAHAH TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB!" type.

I ragequit B5 when the ending to the Shadow/Vorlon war was such an insult to my and everyone's intelligence

>people who aren't 30 feet tall
Not a problem. Most species are gigantic in Transformers universes.

Honestly, seeing how species with ridiuclously different scale sizes interacting could be neat. I especially like the ideas of Humans (or roughly same sized aliens) working as weirdo pit crews for the TFs.

Also the Predator. Dude's an accomplished voice actor for a reason.
