Talk:Bumper (G1)

I re-read DW v3 #7-8 recently, and I still have the feeling that I had when I first read them, that something isn't quite right about Bumper's escape and saving the day. Bombshell's quite clearly doing something to his head while talking to Shockwave, the heroism seems quite out of character, and the panel with the two EDC soldiers reflected in Bumper's eyes seems really rather creepy - and also leads nowhere, which suggests it might be a set-up for future events that were never shown. The really jarring thing, though, is the car registration plate in the last panel, which reads 'TR8R1' - 'Traitor One'. Is the denouement a scam, and is Bumper actually under Bombshell's control? I wouldn't make so much of the other oddities were it not for the number plate, which surely can only be interpreted as a hint that there's a traitor in the Autobot ranks. I haven't added anything to the profile because I don't know whether this is a widely-held opinion - what do people think? --Tribimat 00:49, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
