wada sez: To my knowledge, this strip is set after Escalation #6, in which Ratchet, Jimmy Pink and Verity Carlo narrowly escaped a booby-trapped building, only for Ironhide to be caught in the blast. They “tripped” the trap by picking up a Machination business card back in Escalation #4. The strip’s title is presumably taken from the famous track sung by Louis Armstrong, for whatever reason. Funnily enough, Tim Shinn applied his usual treatment to this comic, but got a bit overzealous with the composition, copying the artwork to create additional panels to better fill what he perceived as excessive negative space—our Gherkin also points out that he added a “Fan-riffic” in the first bubble, a reference to Hong Kong Phooey, another big voice role for Jazz’s original voice actor Scatman Crothers. The team went with the unaltered version, which lacks many of his lighting effects. I've included the alternate version below the break.

wada sez: Hooo boy. So this strip is set sometime during Megatron Origin, but the final couple of panels of this strip are a reference to Dreamwave’s The War Within, which Megatron Origin was conceived as being in continuity with, before the pitch was picked up by IDW instead and reworked for their reboot. The death of Sentinel Prime, as seen in the final panel, was the inciting incident of The War Within, and Sentinel Prime also died at the end of Megatron Origin. Presumably, the intent is to draw a direct parallel between the two, implying that The War Within is something of an alternate future for Megatron Origin. However, this strip would directly go on to inspire the Seeds of Deception universe (see the about page for more info), which would painstakingly (and painfully) attempt to reconcile all the discontinuities that arise when you declare that Furman’s work for Dreamwave and for IDW both take place in literally the same timeline. Tim Shinn's customary WIP breakdown from deviantART showing the extent of his involvement is included below the break.
