#93-95
I tried to keep Megatron’s character pretty grumpy and
indifferent to Optimus and the Autobots during the truces I’ve set forth in the
strip. The first panel in #93 is one of the most blatant examples. Like the
courtroom scene back in #55-56, the box the trio put all the holes in was a
real box I covered up in paint. You can see the reflection in the table. The
gigantic Blue Hole was a last minute addition to the script. More on that soon.
I think the best part of #94 is Optimus’ cliché foreshadowing comment in panel
2. ‘Moronicons’ was originally just thrown in there as an insult, but eventually
I just decided to give them their own Decepticon subgroup (a la ‘Stunticons’,
‘Predicons’, etc;). I can’t help but throw in an Astrotrain mass shifting joke
anywhere I can, as seen in #95. There’s a small continuity error in #95 as
well, where Grimlock calls the four original Knockoffs ‘Medicorebots’. That was
the subgroup name I wanted to go with for them originally but in writing their
bios I went with ‘Irritatobots’ instead. They’re the same amount of syllables,
it just came down to which one I liked better. Panel #5 is where you can see
the signs of my original camera’s demise. The last Panel of #95 is one of my
favorite Cliffjumper moments, and Optimus’ comment was the icing on the cake.
