This comic is one that always stands out in my mind.
Not because it was that incredible but because it introduced toys from the
highly sought after 2007 Botcon box set. I was fortunate enough to find one for
a very reasonable price (compared to what it typically sold for at that time)
and couldn’t wait to finally complete the Decepticon Jet team (“Seekers”) in
the comic. I did have some inner conflictions in using such expensive toys in a
photo comic but I was extremely careful with them. The idea that
Thundercracker, Dirge, Thrust and Dreadwind were simply “just standing
offscreen the whole time” came from South Park; it was the exact same reason
they gave for Kenny showing back up at the end of the season in which they had
“permanently” killed him off. It’s simple and makes little sense but it
appealed quite a bit to me that these four would have actually been through
everything the original characters in the comic would have. Most importantly it
was an excuse I could fall back on to get out of getting the new characters
‘caught up’ on what had happened previously. For the Gallery panel, I
definitely agree with Cliffjumper. After only having 3/6 of the original Seeker
jets, I couldn’t get over how awesome it looked to finally have all six of them
displayed on my shelf.
