New Legends Manga translation VOl 3 -G2 Stunticons complete!

 


FINALLY!

I finished this mammoth task.  Wow, this was a big one for a couple of reasons. 24 pages are a lot of pages.  Editing the effects was a difficult task.

However I feel I did learn a lot on this and I really enjoyed doing it.  This volume is a lot of fun and the Stunticons are very cute in this.  It is essentially a story of bonds being broken and then ...

REUNITED (will make sense as you read it).

*I took down the old post as I went back and fixed up earlier pages term and story consistency.

Read this baby left to right! usual random ass comments at the end.

Here is a link to a CBZ version

Random comments:

  • Motormaster seems  a lot more friendly than the bully we expect him to be.
  • This comic is a lot of fun, with lots of little Stuncticon personality points popping up.
  • Nemesis Navigation AI talks like a female.
  • Chromia, Gasket (Ransack) and Landbullet (Crumplezone) are acting suspiciously similar to Doronjo, Boyacki and Tonzura, from the Yatterman / Time Bokan series, even to the point of saying "Pochitona" (click) when the button is pressed.  They often have crazy machines that they use to defeat the Yatterman team.
  • The gems that force the Stunticons to Transform are never seen or mentioned again after that one page...
  • Breakdown's leaky fuel pump turns into an oil leak caused by nervousness.  He does mention how everyone is watching him, but then he is paranoid after all.
  • I had to watch some Cyberverse cartoons to understand why Shadowstriker ends her sentences with Shadow and I was disappointed to see that they copy the same effect for other characters as well, Shockwave finishing his sentences with Shock for example.  Strange Tets.
  • I was also saddened to see the sad state of my Bounty Hunter Lockdown in the show.  He deserves better than that!
  • Nice to see the Stunticons antigrav powers being mentioned again.  I also love the panel on page 14 with Wildrider and Prowl flying off into the sunset. Just like Team Rocket used to do.
    • That does make me wonder if that reference is due to the paint deco on Wildrider's roof that has a sunset/Outrun kind of feel to it.
  • Motormaster really mans up in this one, but we don't really discover his new power.  Unless it's making the frame of Menasor... However he Kind of did that before.
  • Deadends meteor/fireball power is er, new though.  I do like the thought that his super power is very powerful, but completely uncontrollable and will burn him out.  Which is why I used the terms "Hurtling" as said by the doc and "Unleash" when Deadend starts it.
  • Lots of Vrooming in this one
  • Menasor also pretty coherant as well, in fact, talking just Like Motormaster.  UNLESS Menasor actually stole the second ruby and Motormaster didn't!
Well that's all really.
