30th anniversary of 1st TF internet post is bashing comic

"Naturally-occurring gears, levers and pulleys", ladies and gentlemen. Such a bad understanding of what a robot is.

Well, gears and levers and pulleys could be the foundation for a robot. A massively inefficient robot, but a robot just they same.

A Gilligan's Island robot, perhaps.

A wooden robot, you say.

Man, Hasbro owns both TF and D&D. I'd give my left nut for a warforged transformer.

Enemies: fire, termites, rust.

Rust monster

We need a Transformers version to attack our figures.

Yes, except instead of rust it will be the "gold plastic syndrome monster".

Yeah. As much as I liked some of the later comics, (some being from less than a year later), those first few issues sucked. Shame on Macchio and Shooter.

I'm sure we've discussed this before, but Shooter's job on that book was a nightmare before Budiansky came on. Dennis O'Neal basically did nothing, for example.

That got me looking into it, because I had remembered it differently. You are correct about O'Neil turning in unusable work, but Shooter's job wasn't on the book, it was on the treatment and he handed Budiansky the book out of the gate, essentially. I had to look it up though, as I have a hit-and-miss memory, I had somehow scrambled Sunbow into being part of Marvel instead of their rivals for Hasbro's affections.
