Description
Given that one of the working titles for this series was Transformers: Friendship Is Convenient, there would be something wrong if we never had a musical friendship episode.Thunderblast being a proficient keyboardist is totally going to come up later and I'm just happy I could show it off now instead of springing it out of nowhere when it becomes plot-relevant. Ha ha.
Cy-Kill totally strikes me as someone who, when drunk, goes philosophical, poetic, or both. Then Fi-Tor has to carry him home.
If you want to read AHF at In Space, here it be.

I don't know if you remember me, but this is GreyDrake. I accidentally locked myself out of my account, so now I'm going through the favorites folder to rebuild my watch list. Stumbled on this page in the process. I can see why I faved it, that poem is STILL really awesome. Love this comic.

Nope, I remember you. Figured you had fallen off the internet or were otherwise off doing other stuff. Welcome back.

This song makes me think of Cy-kill as cynical revolutionary that knows his cause is misguided but goes on without answers anyway because the alternative would be stop and conform to the status quo and THAT would be unbearable.... i approve.
Being Fracture inspired on Crasher, how much of her Gobots roots are still in her past? Any plans for other renegades?

Technically Cy-Kill's a guy who just wants to be in charge because he thinks he's so great and he didn't get all the parades he felt he deserved when he was do-gooding ( ie: constant parades, ) but he feels like he's also someone who can recognise that his team is aimless losers and that he's actually happier kicking at the establishment than being it. This might be because his voice is 100% pure uncut ham.
Fracture's Gobot background comes up once in a while, but not generally as a major plot point. More, 'you know what we need? A big dragon-tank thing,' and not 'Cy-Kill finally tracks down his goon and Fracture has to choose between her Renegade life and her Decepticon one.' I've no plans for other Gobots in this series.

That first part about "wants to be in charge because he thinks he's so great and he didn't get all the parades he felt he deserved when he was do-gooding (ie: constant parades)" makes me think of either an Autobot leader that changed sides mid-war or a more hammy/loquacious Sentinel Prime from Animated. Should be entertaining to watch in action.
I get what you mean with the background - Fracture/Crasher is great as she is, uncomplicated. That said, why would she have to choose sides? Cy-kill could become her present boss' own Starscream!!! XD

Crasher Fracture as a character rather than a corpse makes you waay more mature than many official Transformers comic artists.

But GoBots was a terrible cartoon and it is just endlessly funny that it is bad let us rag on it constantly and kill off cameos of the characters to show how much better we are than them because that never gets old ever.
( Seriously, GoBots was pretty terrible but there was some gold in the muck and the constant 'let's kill off GoBots in cameos because we are better than them' is just dick-waving at a franchise that shrugged and left twenty years ago. Like, so brave to taunt an enemy that doesn't exist. )

I imagine Fracture singing very, very off-key, but all the louder.

Also, the "whiny wimp" reminds me of the "Boot to the Head" sketch.... "And another for Jenny and the wimp."

Oh my GOD that would be the best name EVER for this comic. XD I need to go stamp it on something...

LOVE this song! And heeey, those are pretty good questions it's asking there...

So, again, TB playing the keyboard does not help dissuade the similarities between AHF and Steven Universe. If anything, TB sound MORE like Pearl now. Not that this is, you know, a bad thing.

Nobody gets gemstone powers ( I know Steven Universe only through occasional photosets on Tumblr, I think it's gemstone powers ) so it can never be exactly the same.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I know. I just see a vague similarities in the personalities and a passing resemblance sometimes in the art, that they just sound the same to me.

Drunk on goodness knows what because I don't remember the Go-Bots ever eating/refueling/whatever and it is just one more confusion on top of the pile of confusion that is Challenge of the Go-Bots.
But Cy-Kill will find something. And he will drink it. And he will sing philosophical songs.
And then Crasher and Cop-Tur will draw things on his face.

Welp! Fracture and Thunderblast is my new BROTP now XD

If this story is in continuity with your other works, I thought the general consensus among Cybertronians was that songs with lyrics are considered distasteful. Reserved for dirges.

You think Fracture would care about cultural mores?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Hee, I was wondering if anyone would question that ( and it does get touched on in the next page, though not explained. ) Short answer: Because of Mythology, Legascions run on different cultural rules.
Long answer: My works don't use the canon Thirteen because we came up with our own set years before and like them better than the new ones ( anyone post-Dreamwave showed up too late. ) One of my crew was Armada, who was the lord of the aquatic warriors, the team mystic, inventor of poetry and song, and the Liege Maximo's best friend/closest ally. Maximo and Armada got jumped by demons, Armada was dying, Maximo drained what was left of Armada's lifeforce to get the power to save himself. As the first of the Firstforged to die, Armada wound up in the gatekeeper to the afterlife role ( possibly waiting for Maximo to show up so he can punch him. ) And since he'd been the patron of poetry and song, those arts became associated with the dead.
And in the land of the living, having absorbed Armada's essence, Maximo's subsequent offspring - the Legascions - ended up boats more often than not. And because of their ties to Armada, they claim poetry and song for themselves. This may also be why Liegetongue is made of purple prose, or the purple prose is a symptom of them being snooty jerks who were horribly decadent by the end.
( However, the only answer I have for, "Okay, so what about Waspinator singing in Other Vengeance?" is "Waspinator is a mobile etiquette disaster." Or maybe there's been enough culture shift by then that songs are okay even if poetry is still creepy. )

I always wondered about Waspinator's little heroic song, but figured either you'd revised your rules enough for it to be okay or just decided to go with rule of funny (because sometimes even things that are creepy or etiquette disasters are also hilarious).

If you want to really stretch it, the song was about a dead crocodile and therefore counts.

Hehehe, I'm glad I was paying attention enough to your work over the years to not ask a silly question.
I prefer your 13 to the new ones, too. By a lot.

Ah! That makes sense. (Also, I love that page)
So tell me, do you have a strong dislike for IDW as well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dislike IDW for many reasons. Other people can like it. But IDW does not get my money.

THANK you! I thought I was alone, with everyone telling me "You just need to give it a shot! It's so innovative!" I gave it a shot for literally 3-5 years. Didn't like it then, don't like it now.

"( possibly waiting for Maximo to show up so he can punch him. )" I like this.

Do not kill your demi-god brother lest he become Charon ('s boat) and wait for you.

I don't know if you've been watching Ben 10 Omniverse, but Fracture here just sounded like Fistina.
