Optimus Prime uses Megatron's arm in Transformers #5 (Energon Universe Discussion) Skybound Comics 

I lost my shit when I saw Devastator. I thought it would be a least a year before we saw him.

Prime with Megatron arm looks so badass, poor Skywarp though 😢

Optimus using Megatron’s fusion is kinda disturbing………and yet, seems fitting for G1 Prime to do, G1 Prime, not any other incarnation.

I just got a new head cannon with the way Megatron's arm transformed into primes truck. Head cannon: At birth each Cybertronian has a basic body structure that correlates to how they transform and where those parts go. This will still apply with new surgically graphed parts (so long as they are attached correctly). The parts join with the "blueprint" to allow for continued transformations

Arcee looks to be a Lamborghini...v cool!

What I find interesting is that the Cybertronians aren’t all "I’m permanently dead because you shot me" but instead are super repairable where injuries aren’t super fatal and can be repaired easily. Though I don’t know about Reflector cause he was atomized and his spark would have probably went as well though it would be cool that because of his destruction, we can see him become the three Reflectors.

Optimus is like now I see why Megatron likes fusion cannons so much, it solves so much problems on the battlefield!

Jeez Skywarp has just a gruesome fate. I wonder if megatron would be that cruel.

I have to wonder if Wheeljack being only a torso was a callback to Ironhide and Ratchet's weird alternate modes.

Prepare for termination-Devastator Prepare for a good Transformers comics-Skybound

Sheesh, Jazz, Ratchet, Arcee, Wheeljack etc etc... This might be my favorite lineup of main Autobots especially if a certain other fembot ends up joining as solicitations have been hinting.

05:23. Pet peeve of mine. Evil characters doing stupid things just to show how "evil" they are. I think Shockwave would not be shocked at the callousness of the situation, but the illogical wastefulness of scrapping a soldier in a war front lacking reinforcements instead of using spare parts first to at least attempt a repair job without losses of soldiers for future use.

What is disturbing more is that Optimus has yield the aura of Megatron just by using his gun…

Long Haul's surprise introduction nearly have me a heart attack I was not expecting a combiner this soon, let alone them combining already.

I really doubt that Perceptor and Blaster are dead imo Because until further notice I’m not counting there deaths however I did tell “NO BLASTER MY BELOVED” And omg no don’t let Percy be dead

RC is a Lambo Revalto in this alt. V12 with hybrid torque fill and 2 electric motors in the front for 4 wheel drive. Very nice.

Wheeljack and Arcee are finally here! Devastador was definitely a surprise to me, I wasn’t expecting him at all. There is gonna be some mayhem next issue! Can’t for Elita-1 as she was shown in the issue #7 cover you showed last video but she is also front and center in the cover of issue #8 which just makes me more excited for what’s to come!

Con la aparición de Devastator, queda claro que los cómics de Transformers de Skybound serán una versión mas oscura de los cómics de Transformers de MARVEL de los 80 donde en los primeros números los Autobots la pasaron muy mal 😐

Bro Optimus useing Megatrons Arm is like a Reunion for the Brothers

Devastator!!!!!! I love this guy! I like reflector to for the camera references. Dang I’m loving this series so much! It also seems by Starscream saying new toys when introducing the constructicons might mean he built them

Prime was so badass when he just roasted scared starscream with meg's arm

I have the feeling that Optimus will get a story centered around his ‘addiction’ to using Megatron’s cannon. As in, he’ll start to grow semi-arrogant from blasting Cons left and right that he unintentionally disregards collateral damage or other Autobots in need. In fact, I can just picture the end moment he says, “I never meant for this to happen. We simply needed more firepower.” Although considering where the storyline’s going, I highly doubt it. Personally, I prefer Telewrap.

Skywarp is and always has been My favorite TF. For one reason and one reason alone, he can warp! But in the first episode and in others I believe he had to ask permission. This series has been great at working things in from the G1 series. I can see them hooking him up to the ship to give it warp capabilities. We shall see.

Let me be the first to say…LESSSSS GOOOOOO WHEELJACK IS BACK BAYBEE …ain’t got legs but now beggars can’t be choosers and all that I suppose.

Just found out about your channel via YT Recommendations and MAN i haven't binged a channel in awhile and you have got me HOOKED, can't wait for the next vid!!

Just noticed the cover has Megatron's cannon atop a pile of human weapons.

Man was this issue such a banger🗣️

What an amazing chapter. Like Idk what Skybound is on. But for their first crack at these IPs they’re killing it!

Perhaps the color mistakes are a tongue in cheek call back to G1 animation errors.

On my full thoughts, I loved this issue. Had a lot of heart, a plethora of great character moments, and one BIG reveal. Of course the biggest highlight to me was of course Wheeljack back in action. ‘Jack is among my favorite characters ever, so I always look forward (and often dread) seeing him come back in new media. This version of the mechanical engineer is quite decent, taking on the kinder and gentler personality of latter IDW/Robots in Disguise 2012. Love that version, though I do hope in upcoming issues we get a bit more of the slightly chaotic Sunbow Wheeljack. The biggest surprise was trading Skywarp for Thundercracker. TC is my second favorite ‘con after Sixshot, so that was a delightful reveal for me. Unfortunately both Skywarp and Thundercracker tend to have a pretty short shelf life outside IDW, so perhaps my rejoicing is premature. In any case love to see him in functioning condition. I agree with you: I don’t think Skywarp has bought it yet, but it also wouldn’t surprise me if he did. Perhaps DWJ’s commentary will clear that up like it did TC’s fate in issue 1. (All of this said, Starscream and Soundwave are in fact a couple of absolute dicks.) But I didn’t just get my favorite Autobot back, I got my second and third[ish] favorites back as well with Jazz and Arcee. Love that Jazz is back again, busting ‘cons the moment he’s online. There’s that little moment between Arcee and Ratchet that I love, and I interpret as a little homage to Transformers Animated where they had a very close friendship. Then there’s Reflector, Frenzy, and DEVASTATOR. Reflector is fun, and honestly I prefer Frenzy to Rumble (better name and colors, those being RED), but it looks like they both ate shit pretty hard (Reflector look like he don’t feel so good Mr. Starscream). That’s the way it goes sometimes. But the Devastator reveal was amazing, the artwork conveying the sheer size and horror of the great Decepticon gestalt. I’m a little bit afraid that this will worf Devestator in the long run, but that’s probably inevitable. Still what an awesome way to end the first arc! I’m already counting the days until the next issue to see that climactic confrontation. Masterful work as always MB3!

Arcee's alt mode looks a bit like a lamborghini. not sure which one tho...

background characters coloured incorrectly? Sounds like this truly WAS based off the OG Transformers XD

Arcee looks like an Italian supercar, my first thought was a lamborghini, specifically a Revuelto. but it could also be a ferrari of some sort.

This comic gets better and better! And yeah I'd be all over a 3p (or as unlikely as it is official) Fusion Cannon prime. Some folks said this could be a good way to get Optimus reformatted into his G2 Hero variant. I dont see it happening... but being the fan of neon camouflages and 90s radness I am, I can dream. Loving a lot of the character moments too, like Cliffjumper secretly bringing Carly along. And Carly's got some servo's on'er! Didn't hesitate to get a glock out and shoot some Cons lol.

Megatron will become Galvatron, Skywarp will become Cyclonus.

Megatrons cannon is a terrifyingly powerful. Hate to see what megatron will do with it when he comes back and reclaims his arm from prime

Hey, no one calls Soundwave a dick!

I’ve seen clips of this comic and damn the art and feeling just looks incredible

Lots of great cheer worthy moments throughout this issue, Devastator was a huge surprise (no pun intended). On the topic of G1, I’ve been satisfied with how it feels like designs are really the only thing that are overtly G1. The storytelling and events have felt so fresh and unique, along with DWJ’s actual art style, that it’s very easy to see this as its own new thing.

It was subtle, but Ratchet and Arcee appear to have some sort of close bond in this issue. Whether or not that's a romantic relationship, I have no idea. But I'm definitely interested to see more!

I made a Lego mod of that arm and it works the same in the car mode as well for the Lego prime set

Im rdy for the toy lineup!!! Take my 💰💰

Dude i really love your breackdown of this issues ! Love your voice also : ) I wonder ... could those coloring errors be generic transformers instead ? It would not be new for a G1-like universe...

this issues show cases how S!@# Starscream's leadership, when Telatrain-1 is fixed Soundwave tries to repair Ravage only for Starscream to kick Ravage out of Soundwave's arms and drags over Thundercraker. Soundwave then tells Starscream about the Autobots getting the Energon that the Decepticons gathered, the Energon that Starscream left so he could hunt Optimus. Having the Constructicons up and running is good but Starscream should have go to them first to further repair then fortify the ark. Looking forward to the issue 7 where Soundwave changes Srarscream for leadership. good call of the fight near then dam being a call back the Sherman Dam fight in the cartoon, it was so different that I didn't notice. Also liked the little Animated bit between Arcee and Ratchet.

I hope SkyBound brings in Victorion to face Devastator, those girls need more love in my opinion

Arcee appears to be the new Lamborghini revulto

What do you think about Go Beyond Comics' theory that the Ark unintentionally destroyed Jimmy's shuttle when it entered Earth's atmosphere? 🤔 I wonder how that would work but imagine if the shuttle was destroyed in space heading somewhere and they found out it was directly caused by the Ark.

I have a theory about the miss coloring of background characters. What if it is homage to the actual cartoon? In the G1 Cartoon because it was a rush production most of the time, miss coloring and miss placing characters was pretty often. I would like to think they pay homage to that little quirk of the original cartoon and in my eyes as a fan of G1, it adds more to its charm. I could be wrong tho XD

JAZZ IS IN THE SERIES!? WHAT!? LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Rc kinda looks like a Lamborghini Merciliago

Haven't read the issue, digital edition delayed, but this satisfied my thirst for the issue, thank you

Reflector, Blaster, Perceptor, as well as maybe Rumble and Frenzy all dead? This isn’t looking good for all the Mass Shifting bots.

First IDW now Skybound. Please don’t let Skywarp being turned into machinery become the new ‘Cliffjumper must die’ lol Reflector being a single individual meant be a cartoon reference. Since I’m pretty sure there the intend the single reflector with the spyglass was the original, and the other 2 were just clones. But in order to booster up the Decepticon ranks decided to make a bunch of clones of reflector as background fillers.

Okay okay okay, slight spoiler so look away if you dont wanna hear what happens in the chap 6 tease. Cliff and carly look like they are going to find a secret ark entrance. My guess is they sneak inside and get skywarp to help carly make... THE DINOBOTS, now i know this is a big assumption but i want bragging rights if i guess correctly.

I wonder if Megatron's arm will corrupt Optimus' mind later in the story. Making him more agressive like Dark Raiden in Mortal Kombat.

Personally, I don't think the bot that Prime's mourning at the start is Perceptor, but another Autobot who shares his bodytype but with a different paint job.

Neat information

10:05. Character miscolors definitely go back to the G1 cartoon. XD

Hinestly,i love how fast paced this series is,no fluff,no unnecessary filler,just straight action,characyer development and next to no plot amour

And here a issues can easy build up , the casulty and missoloring, and i feel there reveal all there cards . Werent a fan of the direction, but hey i want to see where this goes.

I suspect Skywarp and Megatron might get 'reformatted', if you know what i mean. (G1 fans know).

Cobra Commander #2 came out today so i expect a video about it is pending.

Loving how many views this channel is getting now!

I for one would like to see Optimus Prime get his original right arm back.

Carly Continuing to have the Whole Bakery

I believe Arcee's car model is Revuelto, which is the successor of Aventador from Lamborghini

Damn. Would love to have some figures from this comic line up

I really need the transformation diagram of this Optimus Prime. WHen he was un-armed, he still could turn into a mostly full truck, but in this issue, with Megatron´s arm, he has the fussion cannon replacing his missing smoke stack. It is quite interesting. Also, I guess we can count Bumblejumper/Bumper as one of the dead, XD

Ba Weep Grana Weep Ninny Bom

Im still not over skywarp they did him dirty, its nice to see thundercracker care though I always felt they had a better relationship then starscream had with either

If I lose my other arm in this comic, Megatron better has his other arm lying around.. and my good arm is currently being repaired, but progress is moving slowly..

To any car guys here Arcee clearly transformers into a Lamborghini which is a vehicle mode i never saw as a good fit for Arcee

This was my least favorite issue because it felt less like a complete story than the other issues. I still really liked it and I agree with everything you said but it's my least favorite by a slim margin. I'm on an EU discord server and one of my server mates totally called Devastaor. I was unfortunately spoiled by a guy on reddit and I will never forgive myself.

"To any third party company watching this." SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

i really wish I could see these comics but I am very happy there are people like you willing to bring a blind man a good story he would have read if he had the eyes. This series is what I have always wanted from TF and GIJoe heres hoping that it continues to get better and the peak is a long way away 😊

Arcee is a Lamborghini Sián

Nah miscolored character is a great G1 call back

I think that the yellow mini bot is just Bumper. Totally seems like the kind of deep cut Skybound would have.

Not gonna lie that wish your Duke reviews had gotten more views and discussions but obviously this is Transformers main channel understandable.

Arcee Alt mode is one of the new Lamborghini’s that recently unveiled. The headlights give it away when she turns sideways on the Dam.

I loved this issue. Sucks Daniel is drawing it until issue 6.

Brawn:"Ha! Beat you to it,Optimus! I used Megatron's gun in a first season episode of the original Cartoon back in 1984!!!" (Then it got snatched back by Laserbeak...)

I don't trust any bodycount involving Transformers. I read somewhere that Marvel was surprisingly open to Bumblebee being taken out as they frlt he'd been over exposed in recent years. However I refuse to believe that Blaster and Perceptor are killed in a one page flashback. And Jetfire after a cameo in Void Rivals and, what, 4 pages in TF#1? As mentioned, unless they've been atomized, they'll probably be back. And in Starscream's case, even then.

Great vid bud 👍 I’m really getting stoked for this new series. Bold move to seemingly kill of Blaster and Percepter so fast since they both become major characters later on in the original series but I totally get it, all bets are off no one is safe.

Actually, the way Prime transformed, Megatron's gun would actually be beside his cab. Think about that for a moment.

Yeah, the Fatality Issue is a odd thing about the Transformers. Like how they like to say "The War has lasted for Millions of Years" bnaack on Cybertron. But when the kid gloves come off, it seems like they are pretty good at destroying each other.

This issue had so many insane panels and page turns. The action went absolutely crazy, the panel of Arcee drifting up the dam was insane, and the constructicon reveal out of NOWHERE had me legitimately shouting. Awesome issue can’t wait for the next

This should not happen. Megatron's original tech specs says his gun is powered by Megatron's connection to a black hole. I doubt that connection is housed in his gun arm... or his gun. Especially if Megatron wants to reap the benefits of that power for himself and not just his weapon.

The only real reason I can think of why they chose skyward to die is that he was more wounded then the others? Like crippled

Bruh, them integrating skywarp into the wall is basically the Imperium of man bolting servitors to cogitaters. Ive seen this shit but its funny to me to see skywarps cyberpunk lookin ass built into the consol

It's meant to put Thundercracker over the edge with his trust with the Decepticons like his original bio said

Im buying this when they release the whole thing

I think they sidelined skywarp because of his teleportating ability. Think about it, it's way too overpowered an ability to not be used often. In the previous issues they used it in interesting ways. However like I said it's overpowered and these are the same people who did invincible so there is no way they would just ignore this power that is why they got rid of him.

One thing I liked about the marvel transformer comics is that some of the human had super powers. I wonder why they never went that route in any of the other comics animated programs.

this reminds me of that one part in IDW were they used Skywarps body to use as teleportation device.

gunmetal grey counts as death

🤔

With one of the covers for issue 7 showing Starscream crushing Ravage and if Rumble and Frenzy are dead that could potentially leave Soundwave with just Laserbeak,Buzzsaw,and Ratbat. Unless they’re planning to put in other Decepticon Mini-Cassettes for Soundwave like Squawk-Talk,BeastBox,Flipsides,Howback,Slugfest,and Overkill.

Jesus. they are just killing off multiple G1s Jesus.

Frenzy and rumble are sorta main bots or I should say cons. They need to live
