HURRAY FOR RAZORCLAW! He's one of my four most favorite transformers EVER! I like the insight on his sense of honor, and also his patience.

This is great.
I was so bummed when Dreadwind (one of my favorite Transformers) got randomly eaten by his own comrades.
At least Needlenose made it.

Well, that makes a lot of sense. I can really see Razorclaw antagonizing things to whittle down the Decepticon army to the strongest and most deserving. I love Josh's take on Simon Furman's Razorclaw, a Darwinistic leader with a sense of honor.
You should totally pitch a Spotlight Razorclaw, Josh!

Thanks very much. Knowing that what I've done fits with what Simon did is a really good to hear.
I actually did pitch an idea for RC at last year's Botcon, but it didn't fit with IDW's plans at the time. Maybe after his upcoming appearance in the Ongoing, I might revisit and tweak the idea.

Hopefully! I'd love another Spotlight from you guys.

Oh, huh. I totally didn't catch the tombstone error since I didn't read the issue. And to think, people complained about the "sluj" in FRIEND! XD

Yeah, a lot of people seem to be unaware of the current state of play in the comics right now.

Can't say I blame 'em, they're not worth buying right now. (IMHO)

What can I say? I can't stand Costa's idiotification of the characters and all the blatant human-worship.

Nice. The funny thing it I just read that particular IDW comic yesterday, so that cannibal scene was still fresh in my mind.

Poor Dreadwind. The other Decepticons can't even remember his name.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha, yeah, that's totally my fault

Actually, it's supposed to be Dreadwind, but I wrote the wrong name in the script. The Decepticons in the first panel have just killed Dreadwind and are stealing his parts.

oh yeah! they are hungry for energon
how did razorclaw keeps his mind?

and the logical explanation is....

Hmmm... doesn't that article say it's Dreadwind... but that article also interprets issue 7 in a different way than I did when I read it...
A nice story though, gives Razorclaw a nice complexity.

Ah, yeah. It's actually supposed to be Dreadwind in this scene, but I wrote the wrong name in the script
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Dang, that'd be my fault too, I didn't realize.
Then again, I'm never sure who's Dreadwind and who's Darkwing
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I can never keep track of 'em either.

Fellas - don't beat yourselves up over it. I mean, I didn't catch it either, right?
And in situations like this, it's always best to... BLAME THE LETTERER!

Heh, if it was right in the script, I'd totally be blaming you guys

Ack! You coulda done it, man! I was all set up to take the bullet for ya an' everything!

I forgive you.
More importantly, you wrote a interesting story! (I like Dreadwind better anyway.

Love your IDW Razorclaw here. His thoughs, hurt pride and endurance.
The funny this is, I didn't even know who he is before SL:Jazz. But his sense of honor and sanity stood out among most of the 'Cons who were written merely as 'evil guys' and made me like him--Even if he only appeared in Stormbringer and SL:Jazz (if my memory serves right).
ridiculous crown is ridiculous

Thanks very much. It's good to hear that the RC in this and Spotlight:Jazz are seen the same way as the RC from Stormbringer.

Prelude to Razorclaw and the other Predacons forming the Predacon Fraction in the IDW Universe?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah! they did kind of put a spin and foreshadowing on it with the whole honer thing. Nice work.

Not a problem. Great to see decepticons in a different light.

I'm assuming since he's referring to one puny human bringing down the entire Decepticon army that Hi-Test was somehow responsible for Megatron's death. Since he was the Nebulon partner to Darkwing. I can only imagine that somehow he persuaded him to rebel and wound up getting them both killed in the process.
I don't recall this scenario in any extant comics, so it's just my interpretation of the narrative.

Hmm. It's not immediately clear what's going on in this comic. Is that rock a headstone, or a marker? The art is still very good though, especially the shadows.

Ok, thank you. I didn't know about that.
