I asked a simple question. Stop getting so defensive all the time.

The Commander is so manipulative and badass in this continuity. The way he played the Dreadnoks was great. He's easily on his way to becoming my favorite version of the character. The bloody smile face on the mask with the partial melt line looks so creepy.
I did not expect to see Zandar at all that was a huge surprise, I thought for sure it was going to be Croc Master that pulled the Commander out. I need to find an energon cube in 1:18th scale now to add to my Nok's display. Thank god Nemesis Enforcer can actually talk in this continuity and has some personality. This version has way more potential than the growling almost mute villain in the movie. As a Sunbow lover this edgy more mature take on the Sunbow verse is everything I've ever wanted from Joe. So far every character seems to be a more mature version of their Sunbow counterparts. |

At least you're seeing what you've hoped to see. Zandar's there, but everything I love about Zarana & Zandar lore-wise, and the lore potential, is gone...
Not eager to see Zartan and Zarana fawning over each other in this "gritty adult Sunbow". |

I've reread the issue. The manipulations of Cobra Commander would be fascinating and I'd really enjoy reading the Energon Universe's books, but only if I knew Zarana & Zandar would be organically close some day. Not going to happen..

This issue really suffered from the pacing, for me. I feel like despite not all that much actually HAPPENING, Cobra Commander's "manipulations" barely got room to breathe - he says, like, one line each to Zandar and Buzzer and that's enough to get them at each others' throats?
Nemesis Enforcer is cool and I liked that final page, but otherwise it's another "cool in theory, not great in practice" issue. If the manipulation had to be so perfunctory, could this issue have not been combined with the previous one? Bluntly - if you're overly attached to this one interpretation of the characters with barely any fictional support, I'd suggest you chase your bliss by writing fanfiction rather than getting your hopes up for official material to validate you. |

I'm going to wait and see what happens. Still, I don't think Zarana & Zandar are twins in this Energon Universe. Time will hopefully tell.
