-I remember when I first read this issue, I was like, "who the hell is that?" when Pentius appeared. I thought they were just some ugly monster there to guide/ragebait Megatron. Looked it up one day and apparently, THEY'RE a QUEINTESSON JUDGE!! My flabbers where GASTED. I have so, so many questions on how they ended up here and I really hope that we find out at some point
-"To survive this monstrous world, you must become monstrous yourself!" Pentius says this to MEGATRON, btw. Bro does NOT knowing shit about him 💀
-Scorponok: "I do so value your wit and insight, Starscream. I can't imagine why Megatron kept you at arms length." Starscream: "He never had much trust for politicians."
Wait, was Starsy a politician??? Is that why Zeta let him into the meeting room? Bcuz he was a politician at some point? Or maybe he just worked with them, which I guess is close enough. God. Starscream is like the scheming eunuch in ancient China whispering poisons into the emperor's ear...
-Starsy mentions that Zeta's Vamparc weapons drained the energon preserves and now the entire planet is low on energon, and I just got reminded of the fact that the stupid orange man said that he would lower gas prices to help citizens and instead decided to bomb Iran, killing a bunch of citizens for no fcking reason, and then just made gas prices higher in the end. Zeta reflect too much on real life and it causes me visceral disgust (which is a good thing in comics)
-Scorponok wants to steal energon and throw the global energon production into chaos just to make them stronger. Just like America with oil and food and medicine. So fun....
-I still heavily agree with Dai Atlas on the whole "why the fuck would I send my followers to die for a system that just creates tyrants" belief. But, sadly, I also agree with Optimus bcuz societies are at its weakest when they're being rebuilt and they really do need all the help they can get. He's trying extremely hard to keep the peace, but bots like Dai Atlas who had to live through primes like Sentinel and Zeta don't trust him for very understandable reasons
-"Violence begets only violence. What you call pacifism, I call patriotism." - Dai Atlas. I just really like that quote. If I remember correctly though, he does engage to defend Optimus when he's being attacked so I would call him a pacifist, and I think pacifism isn't all that great bcuz it keeps you silent when issues really go on and we need action, but again, I can still see where he's coming from
-Back on Junkion, Pentius tells Megatron of an old pace port and that being his way out. Megatron frees him and Pentius is all like, "Oh my God is this mercy 🥺🥺" and Megs is like, "Lmao, no. I need a guide and you're gonna be my slave." He actually does call him a slave, btw
-Dynobots got a lot of energon from the refinery, but the seekers come to steal it
-Why the hell were the coneheads ever even created. They look so fucking dumb
-Slag decides to have his aurafull moment by coming back and slicing the coneheads in half (he left out of anger btw but it's fine bcuz he's back now). Yippieee for Slag, even if his name is dumb
-When Scorponok threatens him, Grimlock reveals that he comments over the Autobots to help them. Do you know how HORRIFIYING it must be for Scorponok to look up in the sky and to see a GIANT AIRPLANE WITH *TEETH* COMING AND SCREECHING AT YOU????
-Sky Lynx still terrifies and confused me, but he's growing on me now
