IDW Publishing's Transformers: Beast Wars #7-8! – POD Parts 01 and 02!

Hi, this is Gary Chalk and you're listening to

the Geekcast Radio Network. You've just jumped

inside the pull bag. Join TFG1 Mike and the rest

of the comic crew here at the GCRN as they make

their great escape into comics. From DC, Marvel

and Image to IDW, Bloom Studios and Xenoscope,

we have everything right here. We cover things

like Transformers, He -Man, Super Heroes, TMNT

and Radiant Black. Yeah, we have all that and

so much more. It's all inside the pull bag here

on the Geekcast Radio Network. So, without further

ado, it's time to talk about the comics we're

reading right now, here inside the pull bag.

We've waited a long time for this. Yes. You have

jumped inside the pull bag as we unleash the

beast here on All Things Transformers. I'm of

course... TF2 and Mike, joining me is Steve Megatron.

Hello, sir. Hello. It is once again for TPB anyway,

episode 429. We are 71 away from 500 as of this

recording. So yay. And I already have episode

430 recorded. So there are actually very big

plans for the pull bag and even studio. I'll

have to clue you in on that later. But anyway,

we are here talking Transformers on all things

Transformers, the Beast Unleashed and the pull

bag. IDW publishing Transformers Beast Wars numbers

seven and eight. This is pod parts one and two

issue seven black arachnia Dinobot and The old

Knicks on the the the cover that I have gone

cover a here Written by Eric Burnham art by Winston

Chan color is done by Sid ven blue Letters done

by Jack M. Wood, Assistant Editor Riley Farmer,

Editor Jasmine Joyner, and Supervising Editor

David Mariette. As always, we start with the

recap. There's that, and we open this issue with

Dinobot and Optimus Primal sparring. I like this.

I think this is cool. Like we had six issues

with Josh's art and I love Josh Bertram's art.

I'm really digging Winston Chan's art here on

Dinobot and Optimus. I'm digging it only because

I like the classic look. Uh -huh. I'm not a big

fan of the faces per se on any of them. Like

how their facial reactions on stuff, like they

look a little goofy. I feel like I'm looking

at the genie from Aladdin. When you're looking

at Dinobot. Yeah. But when they're in beast mode

and stuff, like, yeah, I totally get the Beast

Wars vibe out of it. Yeah, it is so cool. And

I'm really digging it. I'm not so... I like the

close -ups. I like the detail. Yes, Dinobots

nose looks like the genie's nose kind of thing,

but I kind of dig it. I think it's cool and I

love what I love about this series with Josh's

art and now Winston's is how As you said realistic,

but how animalistic the beast modes look like

look Beast Wars 25 years ago was amazing. And

it still looks amazing for the time that it was

produced. However, this, because this is comic,

this is page, this is ink, this is pencils, this

is whatever, it has, to me, it has a feeling

of jumping off the page. And if you're comic

characters, if the way you're drawing these characters,

the way that you're Coloring these characters

jumps off the page like I'm up to the panel where

Well, I think I think I figured out part of what

helps their characters jump off the page one

They have very light backgrounds to the characters

are Silhouetted for the most part and have a

certain particular shine to them and use a lot

of white lines or beige lines around the edges

of the characters to kind of extend them and

Separate them from the page. Yeah I still really

dig it, though. No, I do, too. I love the art.

I love the fact that you can see the hairy gorilla

on Primal and some of the aspects of some of

the other ones with their scales and whatnot.

I do have to say I'm a little curious about the

Predacon ship. As we get to the dark side. Yes.

Would you like to take your cues, Megatron? At

last. Another of the Golden Disk's secrets is

mine. Computer, display file. Complying. File

decrypted. What? We'll doom us all, but the Transwarp

drive can... ...remember to... No! What was that

message? What was that message? File corrupted.

Cannot retrieve. Yeah, I find it curious that

the image on it is Beast Wars Megatron. I love

that it is. I don't know where they're going

with this, but I love that it is. I love that

it's not just the original Beast Wars design

of G1 Megatron. I love this. I don't know where

this is going. But I am here for the ride for

this. Yeah, I'm wondering what what it's doing

here. And he's saying similar things to what

the G1 Megatron said. Yeah, I'm wondering if

this is an alternate universe Megatron on the

Golden Disk, since they did use transport technology

to go back in time. You know, especially when

it says we'll doom us all. I wondering if. This

version of Megatron is telling himself or trying

to tell himself on the Golden Disk Don't proceed

with your mission because you're gonna kill us

all Exactly, but it's not the beast machine Megatron.

So it's it's again. It's before he's totally

gone off the reservation here. Yeah it Okay,

so I'm looking at the panel with him saying what?

It might be the colors of what they chose to

use for the video message Or it might just be

my dumb blind brain not working properly Megatron

on the video message has a different crest on

his head Compared to the one that's sitting in

the throne room. Plus he's got the transmetal

Spikes coming out of his faceplate, but the rest

of them. Yep But what's funny about this is the

Megatron sitting in the chair is clearly Beast

Wars. The one on the video looks like Kingdom

Megatron. Hey, you know what? I don't know what

Hasbro told IDW to do. I don't know what Eric

Burnham and company are doing here. But again,

as I already said, I am all for this. If this

is Kingdom Megatron. I'm hoping they can make

him more competent than what he was in the actual

show. But yeah, like I said, I am all for this.

We get to all of the other Predacons spying on

Megatron. Skold, Waspinator, Scorponok, and Pterosaur

are here. Pterosaurs like he's his mind. I bet

it won't be long before we need a new leader

so pterosaurs doing his usual treachery and his

usual Beast Wars version of Starscream that he

always does and Scorponok like honestly, I never

cared for Scorponok that much in the cartoon

because He's not as much cannon fodder as waspinator

is But he was always yeah, I mean But I like

you know, you're sounding a bit treasonous, you

know You want to be prepared and energy on run

would be better use of our time And I think that's

really cool cool having him and Taris or go up

against each other right? I think that's fun

and interesting and then Sadly and I like how

Washington or calls it out and they have a whole

discussion I'm really hating Pterosaur after

this. So Skullpipes up, what about me? I can

carry more than all three of you put together.

And Scorponok is being nice to her and everything

else and meanwhile Pterosaur is like, what Scorponok

means is that we don't want you out there because

you're too slow. I can keep up. That's not the

kind of slow I meant. Ha ha ha ha ha. Golds are

half the laugh at her. What if she'll decide

to break you in half? That's the whole point.

I'm keeping her in her place. Oh god, I hate

pterosaur in this now. That's the whole point.

I'm keeping her in her place. You can do it much

better than that. This gold can put her fist

through solid uranium. Yeah, so the last thing

we want for her to have is confidence. Yeah That's

why like when he died Megatron had no like no

sorrow He's like he's like I don't care. I got

a transmittal body now Yeah, I don't know what

they're gonna do with any of these characters.

But right now as of issue 7 I hope to gods Dino

bot or somebody style. I hope scold stumps and

I hope I hope scold puts her fist through solid

uranium I hope she puts her fist through solid

terrors or and just Demolishes him the interesting

thing here is they are flying to the flying island

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm, and they are picking up energon

crystal Well, and then of course you've got stasis

pods introduced early as a different character

than what should have shown up yet. Yes, I Love

the like I cannot like I know the whole point

of Beast Wars is them on earth. I Hope there's

more space stuff because I Just it's the simplest

things that that I enjoy folks Meanwhile, you

see the stasis pod, you see the blue kind of

starry background of space, you see planet Earth,

and you see the one moon, one moon now, at least

in this image. I love this background. I think

this background is awesome. I'm about 10 seconds

away from making this my new Facebook cover photo.

And it's just a simple, like, that's the thing.

That's the thing about Beast Wars and Beast Machines.

subtlety to the point of when you notice things.

It's not a boring background to me. It's a cool

background to me. And we get, you know, incoming

transmission, new code error, transmission lost,

upload incomplete, descending. And the stasis

pod falls to earth. And we get black arachnia.

So cool Yeah, I like the fact that she's coming

out but she has no idea who she is Yeah, and

says she's supposed to be an explorer but she

looks like a Predacon and oh, yeah Like she's

only gotten part of the transmission from tarantulas.

So Yeah, that's the thing that that's cool about

this and keeping her character the way it's supposed

to be Like Tarantulas' whole plan is to have

all the stasis pod bots be loyal to him and we'll

get to this in issue 8. But I love that they

did this where it's keeping her independent.

She fights Captain Hook's crocodile or maybe

that's an alligator. I don't know. And I love

the close up on her face. I think that is super

cool, super interesting. Cool We get back to

the maximal ship and we have everybody playing

poker or something And we have black arachnia

coming to the ship and She can get in without

being detected and The update completes and she

goes full Predacon Yep goes full Predacon and

But it doesn't fully take the way that tarantulas

intended yeah, that's what I mean it takes the

full -on Predacon, but without his Loyalty pro

like she's supposed to look out for his and that's

why I said in issue 8 we will we will get to

that And so everybody's playing this card game

or whatever they're playing, and Cheetor's like,

I heard a sound. I know I heard a sound. It's

going to be bugging me all night if I don't check.

And he goes out and checks, and we have the first

battle of Cheetor versus Blackarachnia. And she

basically kicks his ass. Which is not unlike

the first time they fought. True, and that's

good. I like that. I like that in the storytelling

here. You know and I love again going to the

art like like you were saying some of the fluid

Movements and some of the way that the like the

swipes and stuff. I love how that looks. I think

that's super cool and the Chung like Almost there

there are at least seven panels in issue seven

that I want to make my next new Facebook cover

photo and the one where she's Kicking him and

he's falling back to the left part of the panel

Oh man, I just love that so, so much. And then

he transforms. And she still captures him. She

wins. And yeah, this battle was really cool.

Where he's trying to do the transmission. You

know, cheat order Optimus Prime, we have a problem.

And he gets cut off. This is one of the reasons

folks why we're doing issues seven and eight

pod parts one and two in one episode of the podcast

here because this read when I first read this

I started on the first few panels with Dinobot

and primal and the next thing I know I'm here

with Cheetor at Blackarachnia's feet to be continued

Like it the story read so fast to me and I just

dig it a lot. What are some of your overall thoughts

with pod part one before we take a break and

go into part two? I just liked the new style.

I liked seeing them in their beast modes. I liked

seeing the typical personalities and battles

and whatnot. No, I mean, overall, I really enjoyed

it. Before we take that break, folks, we have

to talk about the covers. As always, the main

cover is Blackarachnia. As I said at the beginning

of the podcast, Dinobot and Nyx are done by Fico

Osseo. Colors by Luis Antonio Delgado. I love

the way Blackarachnia looks in this cover. I

think it's really, really menacing. Yeah, it's

it's not my favorite one of them, but I obviously

I know which is gonna be your favorite one, but

I'm just saying for a New arc a new art, you

know set of artists coming on Again, I always

ask the I need to I Need to compile that question

to the pullback somehow. But anyway over on toy

cast I always say what part of a toy, you know,

toy packaging, you know, speaks out to you, what

part of a whatever. And like if I was in a comic

book shop and I'm like, ooh, what's this? This

looks really cool. And then, you know, I'm into

Transformers Beast Wars from IDW. The second

cover is going to be Steve's favorite because

it's a self -portrait. It is done by Ed Peery,

I assume. This is cover B. It is Megatron. looking

at himself in the golden disk. And then you can

see on the right hand side his glowing globe

that he feeds all of his data to. Yep. The only

thing in this cover is badass. The only thing

that this cover is missing, the rubber ducky.

Yep, which he had it wearing. It looked like

a cyborg. In his previous scene, you know the

guy from Star Wars that has the wrap around head

thing? Yeah. To communicate that's with Lando's

guys or whatever. Yeah. That's what the duck

looked like in that scene. He's got the antenna

and the wrap around thing around the ears. It

was kind of cool. Yeah. And the retail incentive

cover is done by Gavin Gidrey. Color's done by

Leonardo Ito. And this is a shadow of Black Arachnia

with all the Maximals in the center of it, all

their faces in the center of it. I think this

is really cool. I'm hoping, because I think we'll

find out when we talk about issue eight here

in a minute, I'm hoping that this art by Gavin

Guidry is going to be some sort of like combining

cover thing with the retail incentive covers.

Because this would make a really cool painting

like if you had black, you know multiple black

arachneas with multiple faces like auto and Autobots

Maximals Predacons that kind of thing. That would

be really cool What would you rate issue seven

certified I don't really have any grapes. So

I I'm probably gonna give it a five Yeah, I again

I Love Josh Burcham. I love that. It was him

and Eric Burnham that that started this thing

that they are the team that started it but Every

new arc of a series even though this is a continuing

story It's not a like the first six issues weren't

one episode of the show the next However, many

issues that that Winston Chan is gonna be on,

you know, it is what it is and it's very very

cool I am also gonna give it a five. I Really

really enjoyed it. Even though it's a fast read

for me It was an enjoyable fast read and why

did you just unzip your pants? We have to go

to break folks. We'll be back after the backpack

I'm trying to get my glasses. It's getting hard

to see Oh We'll be back after these messages,

right, Megatron? Well worth the effort, Maximal,

as you are about to discover. Yes. What was that

Universal greeting again? Never mind, I remember.

Beast Wars Transformers Beast Wars from IDW publishing

Issue number eight. This is pod part two. We

will talk about the covers at the end like we

have been but the cover that I have is cover

a It is Beast Megatron and Beast Primal. Beast

Primal looks like he's coming down for a punch

kind of thing. What did you think of this really

quickly before we get into the story? This cover,

I just like it just because it's them fighting.

Yeah. Yeah, it's very, very cool. Very, very

awesome. As I said at the beginning of this podcast,

folks, Eric Burnham, Winston Chan. Sidvan blue.

I'm sorry if I get your name wrong, but Sidvan

blue on colors Jake and wood is on letters and

We get the recap as always and we see oh, that's

interesting on me I wish Facebook would do an

automated cover photo where it automatically

changes your photo like once a day for you so

you don't have to do it because as I said earlier

in issue seven there were like seven panels in

that comic that I wanted as my next new Facebook

photo. This one, this is just a recap folks.

The image of the pod being more fiery heading

towards earth, that's awesome. So we start as

we left off. Well, we don't actually. We start

with the other side of the conversation with

Optimus and Nix and Rhinox and Rattrap and Dinobot

and, you know, computer locate Cheetor. Cheetor

is in outer corridor three near the processing

bay. They all... Head down there and I like that.

They're all heading down there together and they're

all in robot mode the panel where primal says

I've never known him to stay still that long

unless he was ordered to maybe he did hear something

Maximals. Let's check it out. I Love this. I

love this panel the only bot out of this team

in this shot that looks weird to me is Rhinox

Don't know if it's the green face. Hey, it's

the whole center part of his body It's the green.

It's the yellow of his chest, which is supposed

to be more gold. Well, they're copying the kingdom

toy Okay, that's fine because the kingdom toy

is like right got it. Yeah It but all the others

look fine to me they don't look Like I have no

problem with Nick's I have no problem with rat

trap running up, but you know behind I have no

problem with optimus here, so So they find him

and he's webbed up that's good webbing Man I

love that so cool Dinobot slices him down And

Cheetor falls on his face. And Dinobot says,

here kid. Dinobot, where are you? I guess Dinobot's

not here. Nope. Here kid, let's get that off

your face. I told you so. I told you that somebody

was here. Think it's funny that that they're

like, it's a Predacon. They're like that's unlikely

The shield would have told us yeah, really And

black arachnia is in their mainframe Getting

all of their secrets Well that and hacking their

stasis pods that too Because she is also Doing

what her update did she is removing tarantulas

programming from the stasis pods even though

she's still gonna make them be Predacons she's

removing the the tarantulas programming which

That's gonna be real interesting to To see how

all of that plays out Just love this. I think

this is awesome. I just love her with the computer

and being all tech savvy And doing that and Rhinox

discovers her and oh hmm, I think I'll pass besides

you'll be too busy dealing with this clack and

He oh no, she slides through his legs. Yeah,

I thought I thought he hit her but she slides

through his legs and gets away. Got it, got it,

got it. So again, another part of this being

interesting, in the cartoon, the pods fell on

their own, as far as I remember, and you can

correct me if I'm wrong. They did until the quantum

surge. Right. Right, the quantum surge is what

made them fall. Whereas here, in this story,

in this version, she is controlling them and

having them land. My question is, and I sure

will find this out later, or if we ever get an

interview with Eric Burnham, why haven't the

Max... If this can be done, if the pods can be

landed and these protoforms can become Maximals

or whatever, Why haven't the Maximals done this

yet? That would be my question. Probably to safeguard

them in orbit. I guess, yeah. Doesn't make sense.

I mean, you could have the numbers. Yeah, I guess.

And Rhinox is, you know, he's trying to override

what she's doing, but it might be too late. We're

gonna lose some of the pods and Primal is like,

no. And he just hits the wall. And I love this

next, I love this next panel. Maximals, this

is Optimus Primal. The ship is still locked down,

so the intruder is trapped. I want her captured.

The reason why I like this is because it has

him at the top left, Dinobot, Nyx, Cheetor. Rattrap

and right. I love these like photo photo Like

screenshots of you know, various screens of the

characters. I think that's really really cool

And I love the teams Dinobot and Nix and and

Cheetor and Rattrap love that until until Cheetor

gets body slammed True. And then Rattrap is like,

I knew it. Once a Predacon, always a Predacon.

You just couldn't wait to attack, could ya? You

blasted piece of slag. But Dinobot is being very

cautious. Dinobot is, you know, looking out for

them. A tripwire, a webbed tripwire with explosions.

And yeah. And yeah, the explosion goes off and

the Haldor is breached. And then Cheetor. Cheetor

runs after Black Arachnia, and I absolutely love

this, where, you know, alert, Haldor breached.

Or blow a hole in the ship. I guess she figured

a way out of a sealed ship after all, huh? No,

no way. She's not getting away that easily and

I know I'm no voice actor folks But I look, you

know again we were talking about how simple these

panels are the panels of him doing basically

the the first -person view of you know, you see

his paw and you see the hole in the ship and

then you see him looking at her running away

and then he's going to catch up to her and I

Love this. I think this is really really cool.

He calls her a traitor. They fight some more

and He Kind of Gets the upper hand sort of you

see they used his tail whip. Yep Use this tail

whip and is in his brain blaster Was that always

a brain blaster or was that really? He had two.

He had one that was a tail blaster which the

only time he ever used that one was when Tigatron

was around because Tigatron used the other one.

He used the gut gun. Chidor used the other one

which was more of a blaster of a different kind

but he only used it when Tigatron was in the

episode. If he wasn't, then Cheetor used the

other one. OK, which is this one? Yes. Yeah,

see, I only ever remember seeing this gun from

the front and from the left. I never saw the

rear of the gun, like the where the like where

the where the trigger is, where the where the

stock is, where he's holding it. Never saw the

back part because what I remember from this gun

is My favorite sound which is right here That's

right folks the cheetor gun sound absolutely

love that And you know, he fires on her and then

she comes right back at him And So good and She

is a little too smart for Cheetor at this point.

Yep, two traps instead of one and There's a second

trap they need to know Again the blur on this.

I know a lot of people would say oh, it's lazier

Oh this or that no, I love this blur here Seeing

him because we're seeing him in motion without

like we're seeing him Be speedy without it being

like multiple Stick cam shots like some comics

will do I'm speeding along in this this photo

this photo this photo this photo This is just

one shot of him running from her and she's like,

yeah sucker Then it shows them in their their

control room, yep And we have the story of where

Rhinox goes on to say, she tried to download

the memory core of the ship's computer. She got

less than 10%, but she was able to upload a corruptive

data update file to the Protoform pods. He goes

on to say, I pulled the code apart and it was

a... forcible overwrite, replacing maximal values

with the most aggressive version of Predacon

traits. There were other instructions on there

as well, but the troubling thing is that she

uploaded it to just over half of the protoform

pods. The bots that emerge from those pods will

be fully aligned with Megatron's vision. Yeah,

they're they're kind of screwed. Yep. And just

screwed. Primal is pissed. Yep. Which you don't

get to see this often. No, you don't. And again,

I, you know, the fist on the on the table. Wham.

And you see another another great Facebook cover

photo of Primal, the back of his head, looking

at all of the Maximals. Oh, it's so good. Winston

Chan and the colorist and all of that. So good.

You know, and Primal obviously blames himself.

And DinoBot's like, so Primal goes on to say,

it's bad enough, Rattrap, and it's my fault.

I let myself get cautious after Nick's I let

us hide behind a shield, working on repairs and

studying the planet, just biding our time until

we could find a way to deal with the Predacons

more decisively. And it's gotten us nowhere,

and he goes on and then Dinobot says, I approve,

but well, Maximals weren't exactly known for

launching preemptive strikes. Things change.

Go back to the dark side and... Waspinator is

sleeping on the job. With a teddy bear. With

a mohawk. Yes, as... I pity the Waspinator! As

Blackarachnia sneaks past him to Tarantulas.

Where he's like, I know I successfully contacted

those pods once. And, you know, Tarantulas versus

Blackarachnia. Yeah, that's kind of funny, though,

that you get the two of them battling wits. Mm

-hmm. No, well, before Tarantulas might slip.

Yep, that didn't work. Swift kick to the gut

or maybe to the spider balls. I don't know. That

part of the code didn't go through. I am no one's

slave. Then it teases S .C .O .L .D. on her own.

Yep. And I love... I cannot wait for Part 9?

Oh yeah, duh, this is issue 8. I'm not thinking

straight. Yeah, absolutely love that. I think

that's so great. So the covers, before we get

into Final Thoughts and other things, we have

the main cover, cover A, done by Andrew Lee Griffith.

Andrew Griffith is an awesome IDW Transformers

artist. He's an awesome artist in general with

Primal and Megatron fighting in the jungle. We

have Black Arachnia. This is cover B done by

Martin Gee or Martin Gee. This is her, it looks

like she's in her pod maybe, I don't know, but

we see all the maximal faces around her. I really

dig this cover. I think it's really cool. And

then we have the retail incentive cover done

by Ryan Miller, which is Optimus Primal, Cheetor,

Tarantulas, and Black Arachnia. Along with Dinobots,

I think Rattrap's in there too, but basically

it's Blackarachnia versus Tarantulas So so cool

Okay, so pod parts one and two, what are your

like overall thoughts? I think that it's it's

a nice solid little introduction for for Blackarachnia

and gives her kind of a new unique take plus

Makes it so they don't necessarily need to hunt

the stasis pods down. Yep So it kind of takes

care of itself there but I could see I know that

the Maximals are supposed to get razor beast

Before they ever see their other comrades, right?

so I'm what I'm just looking forward to seeing

how they introduce new ones and when and you

know whether they have to go try and reprogram

them or they just kind of magically come up and

appear yep yeah i'm very interested in this comic

i am very i look forward to these issues every

month we may be doing this only like every other

month because i like How did you feel about the

the format that I did for this with issue seven

and then we did a break and did issue eight doing

two issues instead of one I think I think it

works because the the way the story is kind of

combined together I think that it kind of completed

that story whereas it leaves you off and a weird

cliffhanger with the one whereas this Kind of

wrapped up the arc without necessarily wrapping

up the arc. Yeah, you have more of the story

in pod part two and You know, like you said Issue

seven may have been a good cliffhanger for a

monthly comic series, but issue eight's cliffhanger,

I feel like left me, holy crap, I need issue

nine now. And that's what I love about comics

is that if you are attached to the, whether it's

Transformers, whether it's Beast Wars, whatever,

whatever comics you're reading, if you get sucked

into that book, you want to devour it. as soon

as you can, no matter what. And that's what's

so cool. Once again, I am giving issue eight

a five out of zero to five because everything

worked. They told us a slightly different story.

They are telling us a different story than what

the... Original cartoon is but the characterizations

what the events are to get to wherever they're

going I think is really really well done, and

I'm just loving it I I concur with your assessment

and your your rating Absolutely all right folks

Coming up next I have no idea so I have a plan

like I said at the beginning of this and it's

gonna be a little bit different than what I originally

planned because I have met several new people

online recently and we have been doing a bunch

of podcasts. Over on Tooncast, Allison Richards

and I have been talking about Marvel's What If

on Disney Plus and she is a huge Hawkeye fan

and she wants to do a Hawkeye podcast. And when

she said this on Twitter, I don't know, a month

or so ago, she said basically to the effect of

she has no idea how to do one, no idea how to

set, and as soon as I saw that tweet, like she

doesn't know how to set it up, she doesn't know

how to run it, whatever, I said, if you want

to, I have all the resources, I have built -in

shows, we can do it as a limited series kind

of thing. So we are going to be doing, coming

up in November, a limited series between the

Pullback and Studio 2009 six episodes covering

the new Hawkeye Disney Plus series. The reason

why I'm saying this now is because I've had to

change the entirety of October's schedule. for

the pull bag because we want to be able to give

people a... So the Hawkeye Disney Plus series

is loosely based on Matt Fraction's run on the

character. So I had covered Hawkeye volumes one

and two on episode 26 of the pull bag way back

when with Ryan Merkley. Sadly, Ryan and I, whatever.

Falling out whatever I'm I'm over it if he can

get over it and he wants to be friends again

fine great Whatever, but if not, that's whatever.

So anyway point is I wasn't the biggest fan of

it at the time Because I was reading it in physical

comic with formerly I had the trades in my hands

and now eight years later that I have Comixology,

so we're gonna be doing fractions run on Hawkeye.

We're gonna be doing some other things in October

So that's what's coming up here in the pull bag

For all things Transformers, we've got our 250th

episode coming up. We're gonna do something special

for that. I don't know what the hell that is.

Anything you would like to say, anything you

want to promote, any kind of final thoughts from

you, sir? No, I think we're good. All right.

Make your greatest game into comics and we will

catch you next time here inside the pull bag.

Give me a final line Megatron. Excellent. Yes.
