#transformers skybound preview

The way Skybound Soundwave reminded me of that Peony cunt JIns Guangyao. Which just makes me want to trap Soundwave with other the resentful ghosts and corpses that were murdered by him and let him suffer for eternity and beyond...

Transformers Skybound Issue #13 preview

❗️ SPOILERS ❗️

HIS NAME WAS ULCHTAR AND HE LOVED SKYFIRE AND PROTECTED BUGS 🥹💙✨️

[gravelsong]

Throwing myself into the sun, I get so many feelings from this scene. He was gentle and kind! He acknowledges the little things in life and how beneficial they are to their own lives! He was a bug guy!! HE'S JUST LIKE ME FR

[woahits-transformers]

just as lovely as i expected her to be ✨

Now that we KNOW screamer was definitely manipulated, abused, and forced to kill by megatron's hand.... man.... man skybound scream can very quickly turn into my favorite starscream here..... armada/g1 are currently tied for top spot but it can be changed im open

iss 20 is going to be a doozy

Omg, I read the preview of TF Energon Universe issue 8. And I want to write something from the perspective of a soldier that stayed on the ship a little longer than the others. Which turns out to be a good decision on their part. But I have to wait for the issue to come out and read it before going for it, oof.

Transformers Skybound #21 alt cover from the new preview

Not the anon who criticized Skybound on the confessions blog, but I saw your reply so I thought I'd send an ask. I'm a fan of Skybound but I can see a lot of valid criticisms wrt pacing (mostly action), a large cast with many characters that don't get enough page time (tho it isn't even That large yet so it's kinda more a TF problem in general imo...), subplots that take a long time to get addressed/resolved (tho I am reserving final judgement on this until #24 comes out which will be the end of DWJ's time as the writer of the series. I started reading Skybound around #14, imo as a binge read it's fine, but having to wait half a year or more for something to get resolved is killer. I never read traditional serialized American comics before the Energon Universe so I don't know if this is typical.) More specific criticisms would require spoilers.

I think whether you'd like it or not depends on personal taste, it isn't perfect but it's fun and the art is gorgeous. If nothing else is peak, the art absolutely is. The contrast between the super stylized and saturated G1 designs next to the super detailed humans and environments is crazy. The preview of the cover by DWJ for #20 (not out yet) is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Jorge Corona's penciling is also wonderful, the "skinned alive"/tortured Autobot in #8 is SO visceral and expressive. The issue that introduced Beachcomber was similarly breathtaking. The fight scenes are also incredibly dynamic (thanks to DWJ's background with wrestling). Reading it in hand is worth it for the spreads alone. Despite what I said about characters lacking pagetime, characterization is still strong - YMMV but it definitely has one of the best Optimus Prime's, and I'm a HUGE fan of their take on Elita. The humans are also done well! They actively add something to the story.

I guess the main thing is that when I try to think about what Skybound is doing NEW I kind of come up with a blank. Mostly small things so far. It hasn't lasted long enough to do anything crazy yet because it was committed to starting from ground zero. We only got Megatron in issue #18! And #19 was a flashback, so that's over a year and a half before Megatron became an active character. The war on Earth not immediately involving Megatron was very cool (especially if you like Starscream being petty and murderous) but the plot moves slowly. I've only read a bit of IDW so I unfortunately can't compare between the two of them. Idk how far IDW1 had gotten story-wise after the first 19~ issues they published. BUT...if you (general you) enjoy G1 (especially Sunbow G1 which is the "Bible" DWJ is using), there's really no reason why you wouldn't like Skybound? FWIW I only got into Transformers within the last year and watched all of G1 as an adult and loved it, so it's not a nostalgia thing for me, but it's def the closest retread of G1 done in years. Which I personally appreciate, since there's actually a lot of really interesting G1 stuff that never got touched again!.....but that's why I actually slightly prefer Void Rivals, which has the most "Season 3"/scifi stuff in it so far, including Hot Rod in the last few issues. (yay!) We're even getting Wreck-Gar this month.

Apologies for the super long ask! But I hope this was useful.

Thank you so much, anon! I appreciate you taking the time to answer something I commented elsewhere.

To be honest, whether it is said to be good or bad, I always prefer to judge for myself after I've consumed the actual source material and not just people's opinions that may very well be biased.

However, it did seem curious to me that many fans seemed to only have good things to say about Skybound, so I was intrigued by the anon ask that said the opposite.

Reading your ask, I'll say that Skybound sounds like something I would enjoy. Plus G1 (although I haven't watched it all) is one of my favorite Transformers series, so anything closely based on it gets kudos from me. But I do see where the other anon was coming from with the criticism. Slow-paced stories don't always work, especially when you only have 24 issues to tell it. And one thing I'm not sure I'll be a fan of that I've heard of is 'Optimus puts Earth before Cybertron' once again. I've never liked that trope, but to be fair it's not anything new for Optimus Prime's character.

Overall, for the things I know, it's a story worth giving it a chance. It may not be perfect, but hardly anything is in this fandom.

The Transformers Skybound 19 preview is here!

[halenhusky309]

Well, at least Skybound issue 21 will have Elita-1 and the gang based on the preview. But why do I have a feeling DWJ will sideline her again????? I don't have a good feeling about the upcoming issue

[elfdragon12]

Skybound released a preview for the upcoming middle grade comic "The Worst Bot Ever" and I love it so much! The art is charming and unique, the humor is cheeky, and there are already little Transformers references (like FIBRIR vs FIRRIB). I am a full grown adult and I plan to get it.

The preview pages for Skybound’s Worst Bot Ever comic got posted and im going insane I love Ballpoint sm

[dynared]

So apparently the 40th anniversary screening of the Transformers G1 pilot miniseries not only did not have a Skybound commercial, just the table read and an Earthspark preview (with on-site reporting noting that kids looked like they could not care a fraction less about Earthspark). On top of that, posts on Twitter, Reddit, and other social media have noted that many were apparently expecting it to be the seminal 80s cult classic Transformers The Movie, not the TV show pilot with a Generation 2 style CG border.

What they expected.

What they got.

Many of these people were straight up demanding refunds to boot.

So yeah, fail all around.

Transformers Skybound Spoilers and speculation

so. Beachcomber.

The first we see of him is in Skybound #8, where he's watching Arcee and Carly from a distance.

I have to wonder... why didn't he like. Go over and talk to them? Surely he's excited to see another Autobot after all this time?

Then the preview for #10 came out, which shows us Beachcomber getting thrown out of the Ark and landing on the moon some 4 million years ago. He then hitches a ride back to earth on the lunar lander (presumably the first mission in 1969).

After landing on earth, he makes his way to the ark. That's where the preview cuts off, but I can assume finds the deactivated bodies of the Autobots and Decepticons.

Personally, I would love to see Beachcomber being equal parts sad and elated because even though everyone is dead (at least until Skyfire wakes them up much later), that means the war is over. Right?

I just want to know what he gets up to in the time between coming to earth and appearing in Skybound #9. There's a good 50 years between those times.
