THAT’S NOT HOW YOU GET IT FROM HIM ETHAN
Ethan <3- Ken, OTP.
It’s all coming out.
Everybody Haaaaates Ken~
Cue cheesy sitcom music.
For some reason I heard that to the tune of Everyone Has AIDS
Faaaaaaaaaace AAAAAAIIIDDDSSS….
Finally ken gets some character development( other than all the street fighter jokes). also first comment.
Damn-it my connection is lagging again!!!!!!!!
Why do people want to be first for everything?
Good question.
I see getting first comment as a demonstration of extreme skill and alacrity, and good looks. People who get first comment are simply better than other people.
Everyone that was born was the first sperm to reach the egg.
How male-centric of you.
Also not true. Everyone that was born was comprised of the egg -and- the first sperm to -penetrate- the egg, which was not necessarily the first sperm to -reach- said egg.
The first sperm to reach the finish line with enough energy left for a “victory lap.”
You were first in your own special way. <3
For certain values of “special.”
And “first.”
I’m fairly certain DW deletes any “first!” posts anyway, so it’s probably a good thing.
First post gets free Yaoi, enjoy!
Free deflowering yaoi? Because it would suit the occasion, with all this having your stuff entered first-fuss people are making.
Haha, ew.
I used to “post’ first. . . now I am older and it takes longer.
I don’t get it.
It relates to the last strip. Ethan wanted all the toys using the 2010 Jazz mold, Longarm was a customization class figure and it used the 2010 Jazz’s mold. Ethan failed to get into the class and therefore he won’t own the figure, making it the only one he doesn’t own (outside of the currently unreleased Wheelie).
Thank you.
Really? i thought it was just more of the “No one fucking cares about Ken” metajoke that the series has been going through. It never gets old because IT’S TOTALLY TRUE! Fucking Malaya ranks higher than him. MALAYA!!!!
Aww be nice to Ken =(
Woah, settle down there, Rufus.
Somehow, I just cannot feel for Ethan at all.
well plasma. imagine if you had found the best icon on the internet, and then someone else got it before you, and now you’re not allowed to use that icon, and that person is commenting SO MUCH that you have to look at it every time you try to comment. “what does it say about me that I think you care about icons this much?”
I guess that makes sense, but I make my own gravs with Photoshop.
Except Ken did very little, in the span of two beat-panels, by way of forcing Ethan to look at his “icon” all the time. So I still think it’s a little unjustified because Ken isn’t doing “SO MUCH” that Ethan couldn’t possibly stand it. Ethan’s whining after like, 10 seconds.
Ken is existing. There. In Ethan’s line of sight, even. Standing there radiating “I have a Longarm, and you don’t.” It’s not a conscious effect on his part, but simply something that happens because, well, he has a Longarm and Ethan doesn’t.
Clearly he must die.
Now if they got drunkenly married…, then that Longarm would be half his.
I don’t think you quite grasp how this fandom works.
“I don’t think you quite grasp how
thisfandom works.”I do not think we are always supposed to take Ethan’s side, guys. He is kind of a flawed human being.
Oh. My. God!!
He used the right name o.o
What does the Jazz mold have to do with a guy named ‘Longarm’?! That doesn’t make sense.
Alternators Jazz was redone as Alt. Shockwave.
Animated Longarm was actually Ani. Shockwave in disguise.
Shattered Glass Longarm (with the same body-type as Classics Jazz) decides to hide in the Classics universe as Cl. Shockwave
Also, CLASSICS SHOCKWAVE. WANT SO BAD.
Guess I’m really behind on all the developments since I don’t know who the hell any of those toys are and I was a big collector of the G1 toys.
Longarm is Shattered Glass Shockwave. He’s a spy or something. SG is the mirror universe. They’ve been using it for exclusives these last few years to release the bigger name guys as exclusives.
He’s meant to pay homage to both Animated Shockwave, who was an undercover spy known as Longarm Prime, and Alternators Shockblast, who was a Shockwave figure using the Jazz mold but not Shockwave’s name.
Kick-Off and Treadshot are just obscure G1 Action Masters!
multiverses, crossovers, it’s all so confusing @_@
actually Treadshot is not the action master, though he does share the same name. He’s the SG version of Universe Treadshot, who was a Decepticon redeco of Armada Side Swipe, but because it’s SG, he’s in Side Swipe’s own colors (but with Treadshot’s racing stripe).
Given the nebulous nature of the Universe continuity, it’s possible that SG Treadshot and Universe Treadshot are the same guy, but if that were the case he wouldn’t need to be in Side Swipe’s colors
The nice touch about Treadshot is that his profile (at least, according to TFWiki) references his rivalry with SG Ultra Magnus, and Universe Treadshot was part of a “Battle in a Box” set with Universe Ultra Magnus (just a recolored Armada Supercon Optimus Prime).
Sometimes, they go so freaking crazy with the homages…
Look at the bright side, Ken: He remembered your name!
You know who you hate.
Don’t worry, Ken. Ethan won’t remember any of this in a week.
I hate Ken too. Because I love SG Longarm.
Ethan’s a dick.
when it comes to transformers toys (i mean action figures)
yes, yes he is
No, I think Magellan got it right the first time.
Welp, that’s that. EthanxKen OTP
Poor… Uh… Cloud?
Ken: No one ever tries to bribe me with sexual favors!
Well, look at this way: Ethan will no longer forget about Ken. Because Ken will forever be the guy who denied him the pink transformer.
Pink? Methinks you need to check the color settings on your monitor.
Eh, its more I glanced at the toy in Ken’s hand rather quickly, so since its not a dark purple but rather more vivid, I just made the leap to pink.
“I just made the leap to pink”
I’m calling it. Meme.
At least now Ethan’s going to remember Ken’s name.
Hee hee, Ethan looks like such a kid the way he’s clutching his toys, wearing a knapsack, and acting all jealous over one toy while he’s holding two. It’s almost weird, given how the gray highlights make Ethan usually look older.
Ethan’s growth is, how you say, a little stunted.
Poor Dhalsim, he means well.
I see you drivin’ round town with my Transformer and I’m like “fuck you”.
I see the classes I attended weren’t enough so I’m like, fuck you and fuck them too.
You both win +1 internets.
DAMN YOU
WILLISBOTCONHis long- what? his long- what?! tell me i wanna know!
Long Arm you pervs. Jeeze.
Kick-Out looks awesome-sauce, can’t wait for mine! *Sigh*…wish I could have been there to get Long Arm/Shockwave.
If Ken’s got one that Ethan wants, why don’t they just… trade? Or is that not done in Transformers circles?
As stated in the previous comic, Ethan wants them all.
Seduce it outta him, Ethan!
Botcon customization class figures are crazy rare. The classes are small and getting in is a big deal.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=botcon+longarm&_sacat=See-All-Categories
Just look at what Longarm’s already being posted for. And some of them have bids too. It’d take a lot for Ken or anyone to part with it.
The way Ethan’s looking at Ken, he looks like he’s ready to TRY TO KILL HIM WITH A FORKLIFT!
So can you explain the deal on the head of Longarm? Did all figures from the custom class get the Shockwave-like head?

it will happen.
I like this plan.
I’m just glad the custom is technically SG Longarm and not actually Shockwave, so my Shockwave completism won’t necessitate me owning this. (Though part of me still wants to.)
*Sigh* Apparently he may actually be Shockwave. Guess I’ll be needing to customize my own to fill the hole the best I can. Unless Pete Sinclair comes through for me, if it turns out it’s SG Shockwave in disguise I won’t need to bother.
Alternate dialogue:
K: Do you want to look at my Longarm?
E: No, I bloody well don’t. [Beat] Wait, didn’t you mean to say “Shortarm?”
K: No.
E: Um. [blushes]
Gary Chalk voice: “Its Shockblast!”
“Leader-1! Powerlinx!”
In this comic, Ken can’t see it, but Ethan probably has a tiny Roadblock on his shoulder, making fun of his failure to get ahold of a Long Arm. In rhyme.
No doubt, that tiny invisible Roadblock is actually Mike, in a tiny rubber mask and costume, with a tiny amplifier, pretending to be Roadblock to get Ethan upset.
That is so insanely over-the-top that it MUST be true.
But how’d Mike shrink down enough to fit in the tiny costume?
David, did you intimidate, pickpocket, mug, or murder somebody at Botcon and take their Long Arm? Is this a confession?
Regardless he better be careful. If Ethan’s stealing a toy from anyone, it’ll be from Willis.
I want Longarm. Frikkin’ school…
Ethan may of forgot Green Wolf last year at Botcon and now he has eternal hatred for him.
*looks at Shockwave/Longarm*
Uggh, I hate you.
I just caught up.
Ive read all the pages of this comic in seven days…why does the next button not work anymore >Ao

David, if you would be so kind as to supply the names of the paint colors that were used, I will be happy.
I like how they all come with colour-coordinated speakers. I’m sure there would be a perfectly logical reason for Shockwave to have a Jazz-level sound system, but I can’t think of one at the moment.
In Longarm’s Shockwave disguise, they blast off equations that bore people to death. In his regular form, they produce high pitched sound waves that control Autotroopers and damage audio receptors.
The rest: Jazz and Kick-Off/Out/Over’s bios explain their speakers. Stepper’s speakers redirect noise, causing soldiers to disperse so that he can pick them off.
Shockwave knows that people who aren’t heavily into the fandom tend to get him mixed up with Soundwave, so he decided to just roll with it.
