"Optimus Prime corrupted" . Yeah, hate to tell ya but there was a fusion canon sized warning sign about him getting corrupted , right at the point where he started using Megatron's arm . I guess Sky bound had to spell it out .

Thanks for another great video

I saw some receptions to GI Joe books from people who didn't got into them, mostly coming from none fans, who thought they were too nostalgia pandering that they didn't get, or simple they didn't got into Joe at all cause it wasn't that big outside of America, but as a none american who never grew up with Joes and was more casual enjoyer, EU comics actually got me more interested in the franchise. Heck, Cobra Commander miniseries actually made really on board witht that version of the character. Plus, I do think those miniseries served more as a set up for the main GI Joe book, plus as someone whose really interested how Energon Universe develops and how it connects to larger universe and how it will lead (plus, I do roll my eyes at critcism that GI joe piggy back on a success of Transformers, as if EU in general wasn't based on Transformers lore, like Void RIvals is literally TF book in disguise). Overall, I get why some people might not be into them, but personally it actually got me interested to learn more about the franchise.

With Zerta Trion, it kinda makes me wonder about if 13 Primes are a thing in Energon Universe. I mean, that alone doesn't negate the passibility, but considering Alpha Trion was the only Trion we know off, and it would have been just assuemed that's just his second name, but Skybound seems to reitepreted the same way how the Prime title got more importance later on. Does it mean Zerta Trion has been equel to Alpha Trion? Was she member of the 13th as well or just a different Cybertronian who also got the title? Heck, is title of Trion even exclusive to Primes. Also, this revolation this spark my theory that Agorrians and Zartonians, might be new take on Nebulians since they are the other humanoid alien race that did have the connection to transformers, mostly due to Headmasters.

Prime's colours almost look like Shattered Glass here.. I wonder ...

Man, poor Ramjet. First, he gets killed off by Megatron in IDW near the start of the continuity, then he only shows up once in the 2nd continuity, and now he dies instantly in Skybound's version. When is the poor con gonna get a break? Nice to see Warpath alive. I remember Johnson mentioning in a podcast he regretted killing off Huffer, Kup, and Warpath so quickly, so retconning Warpath survived was probably a bit of a compromise. I'm not happy to see Beachcomber still in his anti-fighting stance. I wonder if we're setting up an arc for him about him recognizing that if you want peace, you have to be prepared to fight those who would disrupt that peace. Bruticus is here, and it's SO AWESOME. I get the feeling Johnson has been biding his time to bring in the Combaticons on full blast, and it's finally time to see my favorite combiner team in action. I hope Trailbreaker's not dead. I doubt it because I get the sense Johnson is slowly realizing he shouldn't be so kill happy (I saw in the letter's page he sort of acknowledged killing Ratchet was a mistake), but then again... the aforementioned Ramjet...

I think I hate this universe. IDW was better.

Optimus Prime Become Nemesis Prime

It;s the arm, man. He literally has a part of the guy who can actually control people and corrupted Ultchar.

Not prowl?

I personally believe that it’s a combination of Megatron’s rage with Sparkplug’s protective instincts for his son that makes this rage mode Optimus goes in. Since Optimus has Sparkplug’s fatherly instincts and it’s become amplified with Megatron’s arm which basically twisting these visions to look very disturbing.

Once Optimus inevitably goes off the deep end I have a feeling that he’s gonna only be stop either through Spike or Megatron’s involvement. My reasonings being that Spike has been the centre of Prime’s visions so far meanwhile Megatron is the only bot besides the Combiners who can defeat Optimus and the idea of him resurfacing to throw down with Prime again would be cool.

You know sometimes you got to wonder is blue streak colourblind

It’s a battle between Sparky vs Megatron within Optimus’ soul

Maybe when Optimus hugs Arcee he didn't want to toch Arcee with Megatron's hand. I definetly would not like that if I were in Arcee's place. Touch of a cold blood killer's hand. No thank you. Even if it is currently attached to Optimus.

Warpath survived i tought It died in episode One.

The creation martix

Finally. Was waiting for you to review this issue. And this issue was great, what with Prime getting increasingly corrupted possibly by Megatron's cannon arm, a slight remix of all hail Megatron with the massacre and destruction of a human, and a Decepticon civil war ala Starscream's Brigade

I don't like how the comic is making (some) of the Autobots into almost bad guys. The clear cut distinction between good and evil is what I grew up with with my Transformers. If anything, repentance is a factor they should play on. I look forward to seeing Thundercracker's increasing dissatisfaction with the Decepticons evil ways. Even Soundwave's evil (he is more of a means to an end bot, unlike the wild pyschos like Starscream who clearly enjoys destruction and chaos. I also think that once he learns that the Autobots are not responsible for Skywarp's disfigurement, he will join the good guys. I like the touching moment of Arcee and Optimus' moment, and can also understand Beachcomber's refusal to take up arms

“IDW Prowl is the coldest Autobot ever” Skybound Bluestreak responds: “Hold my beer” lol awesome 👍

Megatron’s arm is not what’s affecting Optimus’s psyche, it’s happening because Sparkplug interfaced with the Matrix of Leadership which is linked to Optimus’s mind and body

I have a lot to say about this issue, one of the things is that Spike isn't in a wheelchair anymore, he's in crutches! And I was really excided cause he's been stuck in that wheelchair for like several issues, so I think it's really good to see him take another step into recovery into being able to walk normaly again 👍

I feel like it could be a mixture of things. All I know is that I hope optimus doesn't get too corrupted. I won't want another tlk scenario

Ok Optimus is slowly turning into Dark Raiden. That arm must go!

2:33 same here man, same! :) Which is a little weird, because i have no childhood connection to the character at all (no fiction, no toy, nothing). I started liking Bluestreak just a couple of years ago and in my fanfiction he is the guy, who always cracks jokes and talks non stop. This is his coping mechanism to fight with his ptsd on an after war Cybertron. And Tracks is the one, who becomes Rambo (and doesn't want to get rid of his personal arsenal), even after the Decepticons are seemingly gone.

Love the video. But what I will say about Trailbreaker, is that I think he survived. Remember his special ability is generating force fields...so... Maybe?

Moonbase. Fantastic information as always. The "human " side of the transformers is truly on display. The war seems to be changing major characters on both sides. Cliffjumper is becoming a favorite of mine. His sadness regarding his teammates hits hard. I am beyond curious about what is happening to Optimus Prime. As always, looking forward to the return of Megatron. Will he lead the Decepticons? Can't wait to find out. Merry Christmas to all! Thank you for the wonderful video.

Just a masterfully crafted issue. Catches us up after a break and propels the story in multiple directions. Similarly to what Void Rivals has been doing for a few issues, dedicates a few pages to each storyline while still feeling like a complete issue for one story. As soon as I finished this issue I reread it again & agree…it only got better.

I liked Howard two parter but having Corona back is so good. We are seeing splinters in both sides of the war and I’m all for it. All you need to add a certain one arrived tyrant and all chaos shall reign.

I also like its no more 100% robots in disguise. All Cybertronians are weapons and shockwave showed that after pulling up on DC, i like that human weapons leave scratch at max

He is fighting the toughest battle any optimus has fought while being the most just optimus ever. Also megatron or something is controlling his visions are cyber demonic like its unicorn. Also thoughts on megatron with optimus arm 😂

Yup Optimus getting that Liquid Snake treatment with the Arm I fully expect Megatron ripping the arm back

I think while Optimus is being influenced by Megatron's arm, it's more akin to bringing out his older self-- a version of optimus that isn't as wise or gentle or understanding as he was at the start of the series. It is, perhaps, Megatron going "this is what you are. Put on your facade all you want, you are no different than anyone else, and you are as desperate as anyone else". We are constantly seeing how the war and resource crisis has forced the cybertronian people- even autobots like Bluestreak- to unspeakable acts for the purposes of survival. Megatron says he is the leader of the "true way, the only way", and I think this is what he means by that-- this is what peace through tyranny really means: ruling over the rubble, no matter the cost.

Optimus Prime 'hulking out' is something I thought I'd never see. Can't wait to see how Issue 16 is!

KABOOM! Alright, I'm still in the game!

Overall, I'm guessing it's going to come down to a struggle between Sparky and Megatron for Optimus' soul in the next 1.5 arcs. That said, Optimus Prime will still have some agency - it's not like he's at the mercy of either. I kind of see Optimus' Megatron arm like the corrupting abilities of other fictional fare, like the Elder Wand in the Harry Potter series or the 'one ring' in the Lord of the Ring trilogy. Optimus and the Autobots are sorely down in numbers, especially with Cliffjumper blown to Cybertron, and Arcee and Beachcomber off trying to find Ultra Magnus. Even before this, the Autobots' numbers were down, and Prime was desperate to even the odds. Hence, Megatron's arm, which gave them a bit of of an advantage, though they are still very much backed up against the wall. Given DWJ's tendency to tackle big themes, I'm guessing he's going with the "absolute power corrupts absolutely" story theme, showing that Optimus Prime is not immune to that type of corruption.

I have no doubt that Bluestreak used to be exactly like his G1 counterpart at the beginning of the war but he changed overtime because of said war, I also think the corruption happening to Optimus might eventually turn him into Nemesis Prime

It’s the arm that’s changing him.

This issue is working overtime to not only setup the next big battle, but also to pick back up from where we left things in Issue 12. Yet again, another fantastic issue for the series.

My money is still on Megatron’s arm causing these episodes within Optimus.

I think Megatron’s arm is definitely influencing Optimus, I didn’t even notice how Megatron’s arm was fisted when Optimus hugged Arcee, so I definitely think that’s a solid implication! Along with everything else said in the video lol

Yeah I really like how thundercracker seems to have this sense of honor, and is barely clinging on to any sort of allegiance or loyalty to the decepticon cause, as his various leaders continue to violate his code of ethics and commit war crimes

It's megatron's arm corrupting prime right?? Like they've already showed us megatron has the power to influence people with his mind like the flashbacks of starscream, and he also has the power to control his arms independently, telepathically, that's where you're going right? I haven't finished watching this yet I just clicked immediately, just happened to be looking at the phone as soon as it come down the screen on my notification

Hopefully, the rest of the Autobots get revived in future issues

It is such a good time to be a Transformers/G.I. Joe fan.

What is the name of this comic book

Prime and co could really do with Hotrod and Springer right now

Void rivals will become Rom The Spaceknight. The Micronaughts will soon appear to along with Mask and Visionaries
