Hey, that could have worked for the “Fight Music“! Anyway, first order of business. Only five votes for the logo, so I’m going to use the leader this week, link you to the nominees, and see what the final logo will be for these fights. So if you haven’t voted, please do. Currently leading at 3 votes:

Round 1 of 12

So it appears Spacebooger finally did it. He found a format that excludes Shockwave, since none of the fights he’s ever participated in (at least out of my collection from memory) ended with a kick, and few of any even featured kicking. So while I can do a Transformers offering, Shockwave is out of the picture.

Don’t be so sure, fleshling!

What the?

Shockwave? What are you doing here?

Did you honestly believe that I would not make a presence in this tournament, regardless of a comic entry?

That explains the cartoon screencap, I guess, but that doesn’t answer my…

Since I may not partake of the battle, I shall instead emcee it. Therefore, I will be the host of the next 12 rounds. Any complaints?

Far be it for me to argue with a robot who has a gun for a hand.

Most logical of you. A rare trait from a human. Therefore, you shall do the research and I shall explain its fallacy. I realize that most of these fights revolve around physical confrontations.

Because they’re cool.

Indeed. However, you have shown attempts to showcase battles where thought ruled out over fisticuffs. A goal that is unlikely in the space of three panels maximum where the final blow must be in the form of a kick.

True. For example, takes this scene from the re-adaptation of Transformers: The Movie.

The Battlefield: Transformers: The Movie #1 (IDW Publishing: October 2006)

The Promoters: Bob Budiansky (writer), Don Figueroa (artist), Josh Burcham (colorist), Robbie Robbins and Neil Uyetake (letterers)

Funny, looks like the Dinobots are the ones being overpowered.

Yes, poor Devastator. Then again I suppose brawn over brains is necessary in a battle with the Dinobots. It is the only reason I lost our prior…wait, this is from the cartoon series, is it not? I despise that version of our lives.

Why?

Look at how I’m portrayed! A lap dog ever loyal to that over emotional, mindless fool Megatron! How pathetic! I’m a mechanoid of superior vision!

And with only one eye. 🙂

End the post before I vaporize you!

Right. I’ll just tell everyone to go vote for their favorite kick, and I suppose thank you for stopping by.

Your audio receptors fail you, fleshling. I said that I will be here for all 12 rounds. I shall return next week, and every week until my goal is met!

Um, what goal is that?

It is not for you to worry about. Besides, you shall see soon enough.
