Im only reading optimus and his gang battling the decepticons currently in energon universe . Is hot rod and springer gpnna join optimus anytime soon ? According to void rivals

I love how the Skybound comics go with the scenario of Cobra Commander becoming "Snake" from the Season 3 Transformers episode "Only Human"

Destro #2 & Scarlett #2 redeemed their previous issues... i still want to see a bot in those comics lol

I'm not sure if you know this .. But in Metal Gear 3 when you open the medic menu and you see Snake, You can rotate the character model to where you can see the bottom of Snake's boots, He has peg holes on the bottom of his feet just like the GI Joe action figures. Kojima is definitely a GI Joe fan and MG is definitely influenced by G.I.Joe

Wonder if Devcon will actually ever be brought up in these comics, I feel like he’d fit here nicely in Void Rivals, who knows? Maybe that little tv bot is working for him!

Finally caught up, and man this issue was good! Not as good as the previous, but I think this set us up for a great arc finale next ish. Great review as always MB3!

Hot Rod's actions endangering others? He saved Autobot City fer crying out loud...

Moonbase, thank you. Your content helps me follow this story. Hotrod is always a hot button character, love him, hate him, every one has feelings about him. Looking forward to your thoughts and Looking forward to more comics.

Thanks for mentioning that the Robot Spy was also in the Energon Universe Special. He has a page on Joepedia now. I'll rename the page when we find out the Robot Spy's name. Him ending communications with "My Lord" seems to hint that Lord Gyconi is his master, but that feels like a red herring because Lord Gyconi can't possibly be that important, can he?

This issue reminds me a lot of the Cobra series from IDW Joe comics where Chuckles finally meets Cobra Commander. CC sends the entire issues showing him off the island talking about how he views society, trying to convert him

Is it just me or is the artist getting inspired by DWJ work, the action feels more Johnson this arc compared to last.

"DID YOU JUST PUNT A TANK!!?"

The burden hardest to bear.

Thank you for reviewing this issue of VR. And yes, I loved the numerous G1 Transformers cartoon and movie references sprinkled here, like Chaar, Bosch, name drops of Manocus and Lord Gyconi, the training droid Hot rod was sparring with just like he did in the 86' movie.

I really love your channel and radio voice!

This was issue was awesome! Hot Rod being thrown into all of this now is just a even better cherry on top! Great video dude!

Where are yall buying these issues, I didn't even know it was 11 issues of Void Rivals. I'm trying to get thise universe but having trouble getting info on issues, from Void, Transformer & G i joe

“Skuxxoid is the key to all of this!” -Robert Kirkman More seriously though I’m happy seeing the Quintessons get so much use here after their almost complete absence from IDW.

The video - this is why I stopped doing these and watch yours. The story - finally seems to be moving (even if the slowness didn't make it in any way 'bad' up to this point. Theories - I have no idea who the little robot is, especially since that robot is clearly not with the Quints. If they're setting up Hot Rod for the 'usual' redemption arc, it seems a distant way to do it, but we're not there yet on whether I'm on board with that idea. Darak's ability to beat Solilla seemed more an act of will than any real fighting skill. I, too, am looking forward to where this is all going with next issue, especially since I don't look at solicits for Void Rivals.

Something I’ve noticed in some of the recently revealed void rivals covers for issue 14 is that Darak seems to have a new ship that he’s piloting around. Coincidentally it seems to have very similar colors to Hot Rod. He’s also very prominently featured on a variant cover for that same issue. Makes me wonder, is he gonna be a triple changer in this continuity? I sure hope so

This was sweet.

Hot rod did nothing wrong

with the Zertonians getting their hands on the full use of Energon is a major shift in power for the war on the Sacred Ring and considering that the Quintisons are coming they are going to need it. Darek is shaping up to the idea hero while Solila is shaping into the classical anti-hero, Kirkman still hasn't shown what the key is for, hoping its given an explanation in issues 12. Very interested/hyped for issues 13. there are few space facing races introduced in the sunbow cartoons but given Energon Universe's history at reinvigorating old characters like Cobra-La, I could see Kirkman introduce the Lunartix Empire from the G.I. Joe's Star Brigade as the employers of the mysterious spy.

Not sure what to say with this one. It was just a solid read and I can't wait to see more of Hot Rod.

Este cómic es la mejor versión de Enemy Mine que se ha hecho 😂🤣

Glad that Darak got a moment to shine, he is my favorite alien character so far in Void Rivals. He went through so much - sent to a dangerous mission, backstabbed, use as a pawn by his father, tortured but also seeing the bigge picture of what going on with the water/energy issue. If funny how a pair of yellow aliens are way more willing to put their differences when the situation arises than a couple of giant robots, but then I may be simplification their situations. I can see some glimpses of Hot Rod and Optimus. And for Solila, it's kinda shameful that she is leaving the group. But I think her reasons are more personal, Darak easily shake all her beliefs that she uphold, despite her previous actions, he was still willing to give her a hand, and maybe all this is making reconsider a lot of what she has been taught as a warrior. Regardless, great review. Happy weekends!

Hod Rod? Mess up? NEVER… 😅

I have a theory that the mysterious robot that’s following Skuxxoid is a creation and servant of Primacon. Perhaps this robot could be part of a similar line of robots that the ancient mad scientist has scattered throughout the universe to observe events and report to him about people or things of interest to him.

I can't believe you'd say THAT!

You forgot to mention Astrotrain's "sad, but true" comment. I personally don't know how much I like that. It makes the TF more "grey" with the baddies not all completely bad, but especially if some of the good guys branch off from Optimus' lead

So Skybound has already screwed up their continuity in less than a year. In a previous issue they straight up stated that the war has only been going on for a couple centuries. I don't recall the issue but i do remember it being stated because I hated that they shortened everything. Now they go and basically retcon it to make it millions again...

Moonbase, thank you for your content. Destro Verses the evil twins. Then the winner takes on the Comander for the top spot in Cobra. One shall stand...you know the rest! Great information as always. Thank you.

I'm putting my chips down on Astoria being the third party, perhaps that's less interesting than other options but would mean a nice self-contained arc for the miniseries.

The panels with the BAT zombies go pretty hard. It was a minor detail so i didn't pick up on the colour-coded narration boxes
