wada sez: Scattershot’s original Bob Budiansky bio says: “This brawling, bragging berserker's idea of strategy is to wade into a Decepticon patrol with all barrels blazing and not withdraw until he's out of ammo or out of enemies, whichever comes first. And he expects his followers to do the same.” Ratchet dryly remarking that Scattershot’s words to his followers are hypocritical is funny to me, considering the very first sentence of that bio is: “Scattershot leads by his actions, not his words.” In the first narration box, a little header reads “TK5: C-86″. C-86 is his Takara ID number, with TK5 being the number of the Technobots as a unit. Clean inks and colors below, along with a preview of tomorrow’s strip.
Going to try and start posting these more regularly - I call them "Pinball Pairings" — like a fine wine paired with a chef-prepared meal, an Arcade title you know and love with its thematic counterpart. The first entry in the Pinball Pairings series:
Afterburner II - Sega / 1987
+
F-14 Tomcat - Williams / 1987
The movie Top Gun was released in theaters in 1986. Coincidence? A little bit of trivia - the first game where "Come here!!" - the famous Mortal Kombat / Scorpion quote can be heard is actually the F-14 Tomcat pinball table - also created by the one and only Steve Ritchie!
Love to hear any feedback / comments / requests. Hope you like my MAME cab + Virtual Pin setup
