hahaha. Funny shit!

I like this set up and banter.
Thanks, man! Also, if you cats want to have another Q&A in the summer, let's rock. I'm ready for more. My body is ready.

Good Cobra Banter. just goes to show why they always lose.
If anything, this issue humanizes them. Cobra grunts aren't all Red-Army-weapon-wielding maniacs, ya know? I mean, who hasn't had this conversation before, right?

I was just thinking about this the other day. I'll jump over to the Tank next week sometime and get one put in motion!

Haha, brilliant in your delivery, and always love the posing of the figures. They really match the dialog.

Nice. :)
Can't wait to see Cheetara handling some balls. :D
Yiff yiff yiff!

This would have been perfect for the Cobra commander world tour!
Wait, wh-- GODDAMN IT

HAHA! I dig! Is that the first appearance of Magneto?!?

Hell Yea it would have!
Maggie first appeared in #135 and BNI #3, if that counts.

Y'know, I couldn't think of any ideas for the Traveling Cobra Commander, so I didn't sign up for it. Would this have worked? I mean, it's just a lame-ass printed background; it's not like I brought him to the beach, or anything.

Oh yea! I always forget about BNI. Maybe you should start a new thread for the BNI's... just an idea.

Dude that would have worked perfectly! We don't have any real rules on the pictures. I've talked behind the scenes with a few dudes in the contest and some ideas are a picture of the Fig in some cleavage LOL.

Man, I always even forget to make new BNI posts on the Ages 25 & Up blog, or even in this thread.

Here's the latest BNI, if you're interested:

Very Cool!

I don't get a lot of the references in this one but I really enjoy the comic. Maybe you should quit dicking around and get your wiki page up :)

I swear to raptor jesus I'm working on it.

Here's the gist of it. Cobra Commander was captured by the Joes in #71, leaving Destro as temporary commander. The head snake left a series of taped orders on VHS for Destro to follow in case of his absence, but Destro only watched one of them.

When the Commander was rescued because of the Crimson Guard's loyalty and the reprogrammed Bionicle robots, he immediately set forth his revenge ploy. He shrank Destro and the other Cobras he felt had betrayed him (as well as Joes who stumbled upon the shrinking device), and humiliated them on television. Those eliminated from the show were dumped in a desert wasteland with little chance of survival.

We saw that Joes survived, but the fate of the Cobra "traitors" remained unknown. Until now.

So that's Destro's story; what about Bludgeon?

You might have seen him in #79 and #116. In the Transformers comics of the '80s, Bludgeon became the leader of the Decepticons in Megatron's absence. When Megatron was rebuilt in the '90s, he destroyed Bludgeon and regained leadership of his army.

Sounds familiar, yes?

Basically, in the A25Universe, the same thing happened, only, as explained in the last issue, Bludgeon didn't die, and now he has teamed up with Destro. Using Bludgeon's alien technology and Destro's money, power, and influence, they have managed to get new bodies for the Cobras who were disposed of with Destro (as seen last week) and now Destro and Bludgeon are ready for revenge. Conveniently, Cobra still has their loose alliance with the Decepticons, so Megatron and the Cobra Commander are on the same side.

Also, Bludgeon was a master of Metallikato, an ancient Cybertronian martial art form. He was, after all, a transforming skull-faced robot samurai. He now has an apprentice, young Benio, who will pass his mystical arts on to another generation, should Bludgeon not survive.

If this fanfic was any more convoluted, there would be tentacles involved.

Hahaha.

That's a sick rundown Numbers! I got pretty much everything up until the Bludgeon part. I'm not as knowledgeable in my Transformers as other geeky areas.

I'll have to go back to #79 and #116 to catch him in the background. Sounds like an epic civil war is a brewing.

I figured I'd give a Q&A-style answer because, hey, this crap goes way back!

I was hoping for it more to be a story of revenge rather than a full-on civil war, but Megatron AND the Cobra Commander will be targeted and the Joes and Autobots are allied as well...

This makes the storyline so much more enjoyable. I liked what you were doing, but have read nothing before the last 2-3 updates. Now I can appreciate what you have really done here.

Thanks! I've been doing the comic for about four years now, and I try to have the repercussions of past stories felt, where appropriate. If you feel like checking out more of the comic, you start with the first one here and use the "previous" and "next" links: http://ages25andup.blogspot.ca/2008/08/file-01-update-gambit.html Navigation sucks, I know. I'm workin' on it.

They have also been re-posted in this thread from start to finish with the first 100 or so in order by story arc... makes it really enjoyable.
