I don’t usually notice when you have a new strip up at TNI, so 90% of the time I don’t see these – which is kind of a shame, but since I’m not really a toy collector, lots of these pretty much go over my head.
However, whenever I DO go over there to read them, the comments section always provides much hilarity. The histrionics are not to be believed. What did you do to those people, fuck their mothers?
Very good question. I think it’s because the people who comment on the TNI strips are essentially the very strawmen that Ethan hates dealing with. It’s like walking into the middle of North Korea and making short jokes about Kim Jong Il.
I loved it how each character in the first season had special powers… it really made them unique and interesting. Really got dull in the second season on when everyone had the same power and that power was shooting other people in the face with lasers.
Shouldn’t “turning into cars and planes and stuff” count as a superpower, though?
I was always lukewarm on the superpowers; it turned them into “superheroes who happen to turn into their own batmobiles,” instead of the shapeshifting alien robots I was interested in.
I think Windcharger’s Magneto powers are bit much, but others are pretty reasonable.
Poor Elita-1, not only does she die in G1, she later becomes nothing but a name for Hasbro to use when repainting motorcycle Arcee toys. She’s the Cliffjumper of female Transformers.

Yes. Yes I did.
For a nickel. (It will be a long time before we stop using this joke.)
It’s a moral imperative.
He Willised them in the FAAAAAAAACE. (Davided? Daved?)
David, next time you fuck these people’s mothers, at least use some lube. The vibe I’m gettin’ is that there was some major chafing going on there.

Elita-1 one can freeze time?

I’m lost too…though ‘she exists, and dated Prime’ is all I know about G1 Elita-One, so…

The “stopping time” power is featured in her only appearance (as Elita One) in the original cartoon.
And people get bent out of shape about Beast Machines’ mystical side. Go fig. They probably forgot about Seaspray turning (mostly) human(oid).
If she doesn’t mind dying!

Elita One didn’t die. She would have, though, if Optimus Prime weren’t there, since he’s the only one who could interface properly with her.
Using a tube.
From his pelvis.
How obscene. LOL. So not only did she almost die, she still had to be rescued by a man, so to speak.
Rescued by gettin’ sexed by a man!
Rapescued!
Well, really, she had to be literally rescued by a man.
Rescrewed.
Jesus Christ. Those commentators wouldn’t know humor if humor were a bear and shit on their faces.
