SIGH.

BIG, BEAUTIFUL, DRAMATIC, SIIIIGH.

issue 21 of skybound is amazing AS PER USUAL...

im sobbing. leave mags alone hes been through ENOUGH FROM YOU PEOPLE in just 2 fucking issues we are doing this shit man. man!!!

mags is scared he was defending himself from shockwave leave him ALONE istg if this causes some fuck shit with the autobots having to take out mags bc he gets so messed up i am going to be livid.

Hello Shredhead and Cliff!!! i adore the friendship being kindled here. Shredhead is just familiar with Cliff, just bc of the whole multiple sparks of a whole kinda deal, but them being close in general bc of carly I think is a beautiful touch. Get to earth Shred we will love to have youuuuuuu 🩵

Cliff is kinda taking the position bumblebee normally takes in G1 war on earth centered media which makes total sense. Hes the small guy, the one you go to so you can get all the information spoken slow enough/in a language you can understand to be apart of the situation. He cares for the new and/or the other little guy. Hes just. red not yellow.

but the pannel with Cliff actually being, composition wise, bigger than shred while talking about the big part he plays is so important to me genuinely. He does have a bit role to play! he is important! he hasnt fully believed that yet and I am so excited to see where sb will take cliffjumper since hes normally so forgotten/killed!!!

helllloooooooo my dearests <3

yeah who didnt see this coming. keep fighting. keep being toxic. keep being my favorites

HEY. HEY YOU!!!

OH THANK GOODNESS

GENUINELY. WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVED WITH ALL OF THE ATTENTION JAZZ GOT RECENTLY. THAT HE WAS DEAD HERE.

SIIIIIIIIGGH OF RELIEF. ouhgggg man i thought he was a GONNER. With all of the deaths recently and upcoming i got so scared. Ive never been happier to see a bitch live. TC ans SW included in this technically.

Worth noting: this pannel of oppy pointing at jazz! Reminded me immediately of the elita-1 pannel where she begs op to leave earth back in issue 12!! I talk more about it here.

cant say i didnt see this coming... bye bye cannon oppy

No Matter The Cost....

Making this its own separate post bc I adore these pannels farrrrrr too much

For those who havent read TF Skybound: these are from issues 12 and 21 respectively.

The parallels here

The composition

The everything

These are two separate instances of Optimus pointing his gun at something and another character wanting him to stop; they are so drastically different while being the exact fucking same tonally. In issue 12 its Optimus' choice to destroy all of that energon, to "forsake cybertron" for earth, to fire that cannon. In issue 21 is megatron's influence that gets optimus to switch from shooting starscream, to almost shooting jazz. Which is even wildier considering its his choice in issue 12 and it looks like he has no choice. Its an extremely hard decision for optimus and he does it anyway which may also be why he looks like that, but my point stands from either angle. In issue 21 it isn't his decision to swap targets.

The tone is the exact same in both of these pannels. The anxiety inducing wait of whats about to be a devastating loss. That moment right before it all happens. The moment of realization of what is happen, and knowing there is nothing else to be done. It will happen. This is exicuted perfectly by the art. The composition and the style of the pannel from 21 being the exact same as it is during the unforgettable one in 12 makes this connection here really solid. This style with the background removed and heavily contrasted black shading with specks of black around it is so rarely used that it really sticks out when it does show up. That makes this tonal connection I'm talking about even stronger.

Megtron's arm has slowly been influencing Optimus, mostly seen when he kills Shockwave. According to Elita, (at some point during 7-12 idr exactly) Optimus used to be a lot more brutal during the war! Megatron's arm I believe is tapping into those emotional outbursts that Optimus is having and influencing him to take the more brutal path. In issue 21 it just straight up takes control to take out another autobot instead. With Megatron being fully back up and functional I'd fully believe if he was somehow connected to Optimus through him having that arm. His ability to control others and their actions while they wield him is very extremely real and could definitely extend to this situation. It could have even helped power up Megatron from his miserable fight at the military headquarters where he got captured at the beginning of his stay on earth. Could explain how he's already powerful enough to get back to kicking the shit out of Starscream too.

Im mostly just rambling here I can't lie... I just NEEDED to get my base thoughts out about this right this second no more proofreading.

skybound oppy i loooooove youuuu~
