I've never seen Shockwave be this expressive and emotional. He's bragging about his superiority over Optimus in combat and he expresses his excitement over torturing Jazz and Cliffjumper. Is this really the same cold, heartless and calculated Shockwave?
The humans that shot Areces and Wheeljack had every right to be angry and afraid, imaging giant robots coming to your town and killing people you would be afraid.
100% agreed. Like I would act the same way but since we as the reader know which side is which it can be kinda dumb the way they act. If that makes sense
Man i love Shockwave but my goodness he's a monster in this series. This issue was so incredibly sad. Ratchet dying, Cliff and Jazz being left for Shockwave to do who knows what to. It's a dark day for the Autobot 😢
11/10 it was incredible. Such an unfortunate end for the Autobots. You really see in this series that the Decepticons are absolutely Winn the war. The Autobots have like a fourth of the forces the Decepticons have now.
Great issue from DWJ. and a surprise appearance of Beachcomber and some surprising characterisation for Astrotrain, who wwe thought is just a dumb thug
5:30 Impugning the good name of Huffer again, I see... 🤨 This series is absolutely _mental._ Kinda reminds me of the Marvel G2 comic in its EXTREEEEEMEness...
@@SwizzPrime I've got a soft spot for the grouch; he was my first ever Transformer, and the git who got me hooked... 😜 And yeah, the comics are good stuff; they've been collected as a trade at least once or twice, so you may well be able to find them somewhere...
@@tiny_galsame although I’m not sure ratchet won’t make it, so far in the comic series, once it gets shot or stab or ripped apart, that’s it, Wheeljack will probably be the new medic or have rad alert have the spotlight(if he/she is still alive)
Still trying to guess how the hell Elita-One (and Ultra Magnus), and Optimus are going to get back home when they are basically in the middle of the ocean and without their air support (Jetfire). Another action-packed issue. So good seeing all of the Beachcomber love come out.
We had Starscream vs Soundwave and now Optimus vs Elita-1 Optimus has the mindset of an pure activist, sacrifice all you have to save those around you no matter the cost Elita-1 is a hardened General and is fully ready to sacrifice the lives of others to get the mission done and prioritize those who are most important It probably won’t end in murder but it’ll definitely be interesting to see
"Nobody cares about Huffer" - fighting words!! 😂 I agree about Astrotrain and the depth being given to some of the Decepticons. That really stood out to me as well. And dang, good call on the exo-suit! That hadn't occurred to me. Nice work, dude, and I really appreciated your thoughtful tribute to Comicstorian at the end.
Huffer sucks! But on a real note it would be amazing if we see some type of exo suit that spike could use or even become a headmaster to get some revenge on the decepticons. I honestly could see Carly becoming a headmaster like Daniel did in rebirth. And Comicstorian was one of go to guys back in the day for comics. His legacy will live on ❤️🕊️
Rest in Peace, Comicstorian. So much for going on the offensive, Prime...I do like that Shockwave is consistently portrayed as dangerous in most TF media. I guess he took the advice that Ninja Turtle Raphael gave to Tatsu in Secret of the Ooze: "If I had a face like that, I'd make up for it with some kind of personality"...Only the personality Shockwave chose was stone-cold killer.
My fault should have clarified but last issue in the beginning we see a bot on the island with Carly, arcee, and spike. Some people thought it was beachcomber and some just thought it was a Easter egg. Turned out it was beachcomber all along.
@@dubuyajay9964 Yea jg1 honestly despite it's continuity issues with western g1 is pretty fun. I loved watching Victory and because of that show star saber is my GOAT!
I've created quite a few over the years, mostly through customising or even just repurposing existing toys. _Most_ of them have wound up Decepticons, partially just because that's where the inspiration led me, but also partially because I _like_ the narrative of the heroes being massively outnumbered; it's more rewarding when they eventually do win. Examples include saboteur Hardshell (current iteration is a repainted Shattered Glass Goldbug), weapons engineer Coldfire (modified Cybertron Override GTS), "diversionary tactician" Sirocco (repurposed RiD Obsidian), and giant bruiser Seeker Iceberg (a slightly above Voyager-sized Starscream KO in blues and white).
Dwj literally giving shocky a madly and ruthless vibes. Love the the cover book, giving me superman lift heaven vibes. 2:40 may be stupid, but traumatic for these people. They survived the war but now they fighting another war.
Honestly one of my favorite covers so far. I also like how DWJ is doing shockwave because instead of him being cold and calculating. He’s a mad cocky scientist. Really enjoying it!
Not Ratchet! Seriously? But yess! Beachcomber has made his appearance by saving Spike! I was wondering what happen to the other human veterans, if they’re still alive. I hope Jazz and Cliff get rescued soon.
As sad as I am the see some of the combaticons getting wrecked (meaning we’ll probably not see Bruticus for a while), I understand why the writers took them out. Autobots are struggling enough already. Also, it’s cool to see Elita 1 on Earth. Idk if we’ve ever seen that before.
So Ratchet sacrificed himself only to have the Autobot he tried to say be captured . Lets see Jetfire and Ratchet deactivated, Jazz and Cliffjumper captured Mystery Autobot needing nearly a complete rebuild. Not sure where the Autobots even go from here.
If you're going against Shockwave from one of the cartoons, you'll be fine. If you're going against Shockwave from any of the comics, run, as far and as fast as you can.
Shockwave hitting a tombstone piledriver is nasty work
Shockwave do he after their souls or i should say sparks
I've never seen Shockwave be this expressive and emotional. He's bragging about his superiority over Optimus in combat and he expresses his excitement over torturing Jazz and Cliffjumper.
Is this really the same cold, heartless and calculated Shockwave?
Not really.
This shockwave sounds a bit young
i like these smaller bursts of emotion, but i hope they are very few and far between.
The second I saw the combatacons it went like oh great I love the combatacons … oh shoot the combatacons
Same vibes as “Yay it’s the Catholic Church!! Oh no it’s the Catholic Church!!m
its combaticons not combatacons
@@pama1040 okay Hermione
Word, they’re like one of the most dangerous Decepticon combiner teams ever, similar to Devestator.
Well everything went to hell, now Cliffjumper and Jazz going to be experimented/tortured. 7:51
Beginning of Jazz and Cliff being turned into different continuity robot and vehicle modes? Such as TFA ninja Jazz? 🥷
@@dubuyajay9964 This is shockwave we're talking about, he's going to rip them apart or do something worse.
@@vontheunknown7982 Not mutually exclusive.
They better not be doing some Dark Spark crap, or they're SCREWED.

Astrotrain being honourable reminds me of G1 Blitzwing, Also thanks for uploading this today been a rough day at work.
No problem man hope your day gets better ❤️
Man i love Shockwave but my goodness he's a monster in this series. This issue was so incredibly sad. Ratchet dying, Cliff and Jazz being left for Shockwave to do who knows what to. It's a dark day for the Autobot 😢
R.I.P. Ben Potter and Ratchet
Both of them will be missed.
Indeed
@@MatthewLoh-ru1mw Glad you agreed.
😔🫡🫡🙏
I can’t believe beachcomber is finally making a return
What would you guys rate this issue out of 10?
9/10
Agree
9/10
11/10 it was incredible. Such an unfortunate end for the Autobots. You really see in this series that the Decepticons are absolutely Winn the war. The Autobots have like a fourth of the forces the Decepticons have now.
9/10
Jazz and cliff being taken away is horrible 🥲….
Yea I think that might be it for them sadly 🙃 hopefully they survive
Great issue from DWJ. and a surprise appearance of Beachcomber and some surprising characterisation for Astrotrain, who wwe thought is just a dumb thug
Jeez, Shockwave being an absolute menace almost makes me wonder what made him this way.
5:30 Impugning the good name of Huffer again, I see... 🤨
This series is absolutely _mental._ Kinda reminds me of the Marvel G2 comic in its EXTREEEEEMEness...
Huffer sucksssssss 😂
yea I really gotta check out those g2 comics heard good things about them

Elita-1 is with OP!!!!! My dream has come true!!!! She's on Earth!!!!
let's gooo
Still not time to celebrate,the boys and the goat need their ass to be saved
This was a godsend. I was waiting for the next issue of this amazing series
I find it weird to have shockwave laugh but I’m liking these comics
I pray to God that Jetfire, Cliffjumper, Ratchet and Jazz can be retrieved/revived/healed.
Fr, I’m betting they’ll survive, ever since Jetfire/Skyfire got revived in the previous issue
@@tiny_galsame although I’m not sure ratchet won’t make it, so far in the comic series, once it gets shot or stab or ripped apart, that’s it, Wheeljack will probably be the new medic or have rad alert have the spotlight(if he/she is still alive)
With Ultra Magnus and Elita One on Earth, hopefully he can be fixed, reunited with Arcee and save the others!
I agree but without Ratchet that's a tall order
#ripjetfireagain is INSANE
How many times does this bot need to die
(Also thanks for mentioning cosmos)
Shockwave getting revenge from Optimus Prime, for what Prime did to him in DOTM movie.
That pic of Optimus holding the earth is COLD. Another banger vid swizz, just know that you have supporters!🙌
❤️❤️
Elita one make a freaking big brain move shooting the space bridge for de Combaticons dont form Bruticus
I love how the sunbow cartoon is one of the few pieces of transformers media where Shckwave isn’t an absolute menace.
Still trying to guess how the hell Elita-One (and Ultra Magnus), and Optimus are going to get back home when they are basically in the middle of the ocean and without their air support (Jetfire).
Another action-packed issue.
So good seeing all of the Beachcomber love come out.
We had Starscream vs Soundwave and now Optimus vs Elita-1
Optimus has the mindset of an pure activist, sacrifice all you have to save those around you no matter the cost
Elita-1 is a hardened General and is fully ready to sacrifice the lives of others to get the mission done and prioritize those who are most important
It probably won’t end in murder but it’ll definitely be interesting to see

But on a real note it would be amazing if we see some type of exo suit that spike could use or even become a headmaster to get some revenge on the decepticons. I honestly could see Carly becoming a headmaster like Daniel did in rebirth.
And Comicstorian was one of go to guys back in the day for comics. His legacy will live on ❤️🕊️
@@SwizzPrime Dude, if we get to Headmasters... 🔥🔥🔥
Shockwave should kill Megatron and take over the deceptions. I would read the hell out of that
With Ratchet gone and Optimus in need of lots of firepower, I get the feeling that First Aid and the other Protectobots might show up soon.
Rest in Peace, Comicstorian.
So much for going on the offensive, Prime...I do like that Shockwave is consistently portrayed as dangerous in most TF media.

Great job with the vid, much props for the Benny shout, loved his content
He was a legend to the comic book yt world. May his memory live on ❤️🙏🏼
Wow, I hadn’t heard about Comicstorian. Thanks for letting us know.
I think the reason why OP lost his battle with Shockwave was because he keeps seeing images of young Spike. OP is not right in his head right now.
@SwizzPrime 9:23 what do you mean by this, that people were wondering and thought about the island respectfully? Is it a reference?
My fault should have clarified but last issue in the beginning we see a bot on the island with Carly, arcee, and spike. Some people thought it was beachcomber and some just thought it was a Easter egg. Turned out it was beachcomber all along.
03:30. You forgot Spike's kid becoming a Headmaster at the end of G1 S3.
Yep. You are completely right on that my bad I forgot that rebirth and headmasters was a thing haha
@@SwizzPrime And then there's the Japanese Series, but it ignores the final two episodes of S3, which can cause continuity issues.
@@dubuyajay9964 Yea jg1 honestly despite it's continuity issues with western g1 is pretty fun. I loved watching Victory and because of that show star saber is my GOAT!
🔥🔥🔥
RIP comicstorian, it’s been a while but the pain remains
NGL I wanna see a bullet through shockwaves optic
rip Vortex and Brawl
i hope brawl can be repaired like wheeljack was
Brawl is not dead, just cut off in half, kinda like Wheeljack was in earlier issues
Edit: Vortex actually got revived.
@@CoolSkeleton95-t9d really!?
If you could make your own transformer, what would they be like and whose side would they be on?
I would make someone similar to Hot Spot but he would be orange and he turns into a fire truck and a part of the wreckers!
@@SwizzPrime I would mostly make triple changer like blitzwing but different way. 🙂

i cant believe the optimus prime left jazz, cliffjumper, ratchet and jetfire
This Skybound comics are Crazy! What a debut for Shockwave! My favourite decepticon!
Hell yeah, this issue rocked! Love to see my boy Beachcomber getting some love.
Poor Ratchet. He didn’t deserve that.
Dwj literally giving shocky a madly and ruthless vibes. Love the the cover book, giving me superman lift heaven vibes.
2:40 may be stupid, but traumatic for these people. They survived the war but now they fighting another war.
Honestly one of my favorite covers so far. I also like how DWJ is doing shockwave because instead of him being cold and calculating. He’s a mad cocky scientist. Really enjoying it!
I think Astrotrain was just pissed he was locked up in a prison cell for several years. Which is why he reacted so violently loud.
L like Combaticons and Decepticons a Autobots. Poor Clifjumper
Not Ratchet! Seriously? But yess! Beachcomber has made his appearance by saving Spike! I was wondering what happen to the other human veterans, if they’re still alive. I hope Jazz and Cliff get rescued soon.
1:19 Did Prime just forget he still has Meg’s arm canon and could shoot Shockwave?
Is shockwave your number one favorite
More of a Galvatron kinda guy. I like crazy villains who are crazy powerful
Noooo wtf rip comicstorian man
A literal legend. Honestly if it wasn't for him and comicsexplained idk if I would be into comics as much as now.
He came, he kicked ass, he got some lab rats.
Absolute peak Shockwave.
As sad as I am the see some of the combaticons getting wrecked (meaning we’ll probably not see Bruticus for a while), I understand why the writers took them out. Autobots are struggling enough already. Also, it’s cool to see Elita 1 on Earth. Idk if we’ve ever seen that before.
The mysterious auto bot kinda looks like he could be blurr or even mirage
Astro Train a real one for keeping it 💯
Going to be honest enjoyed Astrotrain here a lot he’s kinda funny
"ill take you all on"
Bro hates huffer 💀And my dirty mind activated whe. You said “elita rides Optimus” 😭😭😭
Told you I was gonna come back
Welcome back king 👑
Rip Red Bumblebee and Jizz 😭
Cliff and Jazz were just taken by Shockwave to experiments.
@user-my7lm1qn6q yeah, m just joking dude. Anyways, I am really happy that Jazz managed to get out... unfortunately for cliff...☹️
I love the cover for this issue.
Please Cliffjumper live!!!!!!
So Ratchet sacrificed himself only to have the Autobot he tried to say be captured .
Lets see Jetfire and Ratchet deactivated, Jazz and Cliffjumper captured Mystery Autobot needing nearly a complete rebuild.
Not sure where the Autobots even go from here.
You forgot to mention Autobot Spike.
yay beachcomber! c :
This iteration of Shockwave is logical
This iteration of Shockwave is _unhinged..._ 😬
I hope they bring back Bee and Ultra Magnus and save Jazz and Cliff.
I keep mistaking your pfp for cheetor lol
haha I could never live up to the goat himself
I think we will see STRAXUS and some point shockwave doesn't dissapoints fr
They might rip jazzs legs to fix brawl
Why don’t any of the Autobots besides OP have a gun?
If Jazz and Cliff die imma lose it
Why does ratchet always have to die
If you're going against Shockwave from one of the cartoons, you'll be fine. If you're going against Shockwave from any of the comics, run, as far and as fast as you can.
Brawl vortex noooo!
Don't worry, Brawl only cut off at the waist, he is NOT dead. Vortex however, is kinda up in the air
I hate when ratchet dies man just let my guy live
hi dude been awhile
Why the fuck they killed my favorite combaticon, and my second favorite combaticon, still good vortex and brawls sparks are still intact
Beachcomber....... LAAAAAAAAAAAME bring back huffer
Cmon man
@@SwizzPrime lmao I’m just playin… maybe…..
Beachcomber!!
I'm getting tired of any decepticon being able to kick Prime's ass. That's bull shit.
😡Hey cliffjumper not goat
