After recently reading Dreamwave's Energon comics again, I've noticed that Scorponok's death in them does not agree with the Cybertron Club Comic. In the Club Comic, he is shown awakening on Cybertron and wandering into the cities. This doesn't tie to the Energon comic either, because Scorponok was trashed by Galvatron on Earth while Ironhide was helping to install a Cybertron City tower on what was probably Alaska or the North Pole. Scorponok's body was dead on Earth, not Cybertron. -BC
- No, in the Club Comic, Dark Scorponok is shown arriving via some shiny graphical humming thing, due to the big holes in the space-time continuum the Unicron Singularity caused. It was specifically stated that he got on Cybertron the same way Sentinel Maximus got into the UT universe. --ItsWalky 05:06, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- How can you just say "No"? I'm looking at the page right now. Dark Scorponok is shown bursting from the ground outside Iacon city and saying "Must...Eat". The next time he's shown, he's attacking Skyfall outside of his shuttle. He simply wandered into town, pursuing Skyfall because of his immense Energon field. I'm right, as this contradicts either version of Energon. I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but at least look at the comic before you call a guy a liar. --DangerDrVenture(Bodycount).
- 1) I did not call you a liar. To be lying you would have to be telling an intentional falsehood. Someone who tells you that you are wrong is calling you a liar.
- 2) Dark Scorponok does not "burst from the ground." In the panel prior to his first appearance, Vector Prime tells Sentinel Maximus that Unicron might influence the anomaly that was used to bring Sentinel Prime to this universe for his own purposes... and then Sentinel Maximus' reaction is narrated over the first panel we see of Dark Scorponok, which implies that these two things are related. Dark Scorponok does not burst from the ground. There are bursts of electricity as Dark Scorponok phazes from nothing out of the ground. The sound effect is "MMMMMMMMMM." Again, he does not "burst out of the ground." There is something supernatural going on. I was indeed "looking at the comic" before I "called you a liar."

- That pretty much confirms your incompetence. You honestly believe he was teleported INTO The ground, and dug his way out. THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE! The "MMMMMM" sound was being created by Scorponok. Stupid? sort of, but that's what is going on. You know i'm right so now you're just retconning your own false statement to continue combating me for NO APPARENT REASON but your stupid ego. You don't deserve to be the admin here. Oh, and the reason the events are shown as connected is because Unicron's power brought him back to life. That's stated in any information concerning Dark Scorponok.
- sigh* I said nothing about him teleporting into the ground and digging up. Continuously insult me if you must, but please do not put words in my mouth. --ItsWalky 23:47, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- HE IS TELEPORTING IN AS WE SEE THE SCENE. He is not, in any way, shape, or form emerging the ground. Do you not see the ring of energy that is surrounding him, going "MMMMM", and the residual energy glowing off his claws and other parts of his body? That is HIM, PHASING INTO THIS REALITY, at that very moment in time. He is not in the ground first, and then coming out of it - that is him, coming from OUT of that reality, INTO that reality, THROUGH that glowing ring. - Chris McFeely 00:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

- Dark Scorponok exists in this reality, so he's simply being teleported from a different place to this place. If he died on Jungle Planet, that means he's been in the black hole, and has been restored by Unicron's powers. You guys sure do start alot of shit over a little kid's toy.
I'm putting this review up, but I would prefer that information from this story not be integrated into the relevant character pages for a little while. The magazines have yet to arrive in a majority of member households, and while we can probably figure someone has the choice of clicking on this particular review, having "X is dead" at the end of some guy's bio elsewhere might be an unpleasant surprise. I would recommend waiting until at least the 11th. --ItsWalky 04:50, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Saying Longhorn appears to be a new body for Ramulus seems pretty unsubstantiable from two dialogueless panels. Actually, given the rest of the coloring, it's not hard to imagine it being Ramulus in Ramulus' body. -LV 05:21, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
I dunno. The way he is drawn, and considering his prominence, I would be surprised if he isn't. In the foreground, we've got Primal, Cheetor, Rhinox, Silverbolt, and Blackarachnia... random redeco no-name who looks just like a major Universe character but in tweaked colors is kind of an odd choice to be grouping with them. --ItsWalky 05:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
I still think that's pretty speculative to be taking as canon to the point that "Longhorn" links to Ramulus' entry. The TFU Repugnus entry doesn't even point to G1 Repugnus, and they're clearly the same guy. -LV 05:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Hrm, you're right. --ItsWalky 06:01, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the summory, as I resently canceled my Subscription, this summery makes me wish I hadn't.
P.S. King Atlas is probably carreing Shadow Striker as she was working for Unicron the last time we saw her, and Rollete probably dosn't want to walk away from this battle minus another sister.X-BoB58 07:16, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
The colors definitely lean towards Roulette's, though. She has Roulette's robot mode colors, with the yellow head, chest, and purple shins, but she has a black car robot mode. I'm leaning towards the black car parts just being Ruffolo's shitty coloring making the silver too dark. Everything's dark. Dark dark dark. You can barely tell Roulette is even THERE. --ItsWalky 07:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Is the Cheetor in the colours of that unreleased proto that TF2 took pictures of a while back? X-BoB58 16:44, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Why does Ruffolo continue to get work? Everything he touches, he RUINS. - User: M Sipher
Actually, it's weird. While looking through War Within #4 to scan for TWW Megs, I noticed he was the colorist. And... it was readable. It was the exact opposite of this. (Of course, characters will still miscolored, which was fixed in the trade.) I think maybe he had a stroke between then and now. Or two minutes to color this, as Steve-o suggested, but that's not crazy enough. --ItsWalky 18:08, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Do we really have enough of Prime and Magnus to support the idea that they were the Costco versions in Part 1 (that entry says "presumably," which is fine)? I'm not really sure we can call this an error. The amount of Prime and Magnus seen could easily have been either one (Costco or original), so far as I can tell.--G.B. Blackrock 03:38, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
The previous issue definitely uses the TFU/Cybertron colors for Ultra Magnus. Prime has been in his original RID colors consistently (the only difference is the orange-versus-black bandolier). -LV 05:15, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm idly wondering if "Skywarp" is actually supposed to be Jhiaxus. I suppose I could pose the question to Forrest via Pete... --M Sipher
Naw, I asked Dan. It's Skywarp. That much in this issue was colored correctly. --ItsWalky 05:51, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Man, although I'd like to have the stories, I'm not paying $40 for a 6 magazines with 6 pages of badly drawn comics and a toy that I don't really want and is prone to break. --FortMax 23:34, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Pub date?[]
Are we not putting the date on the Sub Pub issues for some reason? -Derik 23:07, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Typo?[]
"Sentinel Prime is asked to help repair Vector Sigma. " That's a typo right? I thought it was Maximus in this story, not the jerk from Animated.Shadow Mask Prime 15:31, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
