English: Daft Punk in Robot Costumes (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Longtime BW readers already know my love of Daft Punk. They’re great musicians, I love the hook, and Interstella 5555 is a great film, even if I don’t get the title. (There’s also no squadron with or without stars.) I also do enjoy the occasional game of Breakout or it’s various duplicates. So I really want to play Brick, a game that combines breaking blocks with music of Daft Punk. However, I don’t have a Kinect. Or a really tall building.
This is how my childhood feels after reading Furman’s Transformers…under assault.

Imagine if something happened to your brain, like trying to plug a false memory into your head, only to discover your entire life was a lie. Your best friend wasn’t your best friend, and tries to kill you for blabbing about something you don’t remember saying, much less knowing. That’s Douglas Quaid right now, and it’s about to get worse.
They don’t really do well with space liners, do they?

In the original Transformers episode “The Search for Alpha Trion“, we were introduced to the concept of female Autobots, which led to Arcee, a character that appeared in the movie and season 3. Female Autobots later showed up in Japan-exclusive episodes and shows. Sure, the comics seem to be going out of their way to deny this. Look what Furman did to Arcee in the IDW G1verse. And yet, as we saw earlier today, they can get drunk. I don’t understand the comics. And I never understood Simon Furman.
But what about female Decepticons. In Beast Wars, Blackarachnia was the first female Predacon, but she was a Maximal originally. She came back as a Decepticon for Animated and you have Airachnid in the current Transformers Prime. You might think the first actual Decepticon fembot was Thunderblast from the lackluster Transformers: Cybertron. Thankfully no, as she was just an annoying character. Actually, the first female Con didn’t come from the shows. She came from a Japanese comic. Manga. Whatever.
Any cover I chose would only show one scene without proper context.
