#211
When looking through my collection for more Decepticons to
add to the comic I immediately saw Cannonball and remembered I had used him
once before, way back in Comic #37 when he filled in for the Peanut Gallery
when Hot Shot was ‘missing’. For the second character, I went with another toy
from the Cybertron line, Shortround. I’m not typically one to pay much
attention to the bios provided on the toy packaging outside of a quick
read-through but Shortround’s was actually clever and stuck with me. He was a
complete stereotypical nerd, even to the extent of having a massive comic
collection. This type of persona would fit in this silly comic perfectly with
no alterations needed. Both of these characters have been used quite often
throughout the comic and they’re always fun to write for.
For this Peanut Gallery panel I thought it would be humorous
for Hot Shot to have not even realized he was on the verge of being replaced
when he left so long ago, and have Cliffjumper and Hound casually reveal it to
him as if it wasn’t a big deal.
