#340
This comic seems really out of place, and it added another
layer to a storyline that already had a lot of layers already. It made things
pretty convoluted and I’d have probably spaced things out a little better if I
had a chance to go back in time. That being said, I had wanted to do this comic
for awhile. The comments that Optimus was a jerk had been increasing and I felt
like I needed to do something to show it was all in good fun and that this
version of him was more inept than cruel. I wanted him to point out that most
of his more abrasive behavior was targeted at Hot Rod, as well as trying to
keep his team tough. I wasn’t going to be changing Optimus’ personality at all,
and if I lost some readers over it, I was willing to swallow that pill and stay
the course.
Again, I could have picked a better time to do this
comic, but I definitely wanted to keep the Matrix accounted for, and I also
wanted Optimus’ and Hot Rod’s rivalry to escalate, which we’ll get to
eventually.
