Talk:Before & After

So should we be adding the Conjunx Endura aspect to the general relationships and family articles?

Absolutely. --ItsWalky 00:58, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Sureshot's victim not so generic. I'm pretty sure it's G2 decepticon Smokescreen. --Bludgeon

With purple parts? Smokescreen don't got none'a those. I asked the colourist on Twitter, he says it's just a generic. - Chris McFeely 16:41, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Just noticed we have two #13's, Rewind and Cyclonus. Would edit it myself but i haven't the time/patience to deal with it Mini-master 09:29, 21 December 2012 (EST)

I have a question: When Chromedome was telling Tailgate about his history with Rewind, and he brings up Dominus Ambus, Tailgate says "I hate him." Does this mean that Tailgate knew or at least knew of him? Shrapnel 12:35, 21 December 2012 (EST)

No, it seemed to be more of a "this guy is good at EVERYTHING so I hate him already"-type line. --Nu-Priest 12:53, 21 December 2012 (EST)

I took it more as "You're my friend, Chromedome, so I'm gonna hate this rival for Rewind's affections to support you" kind of thing. --Detour 13:05, 21 December 2012 (EST)

Ah, I see, thanks. Shrapnel 20:18, 21 December 2012 (EST)

There's another 'Bot on page 1, behind Brawn, Atomizer and Sunstreaker. Any ideas? --Xaaron 11:00, 22 December 2012 (EST)

At a guess, Doubletap or Turbine. He's pale blue, and cold be either of them from issue 6. I'd guess Turbine since he has small horns (based on the wiki's own guess which is which)--Vestras 22:42, 16 January 2013 (EST)

Strafe

Are we sure that's Strafe? Considering he's currently a limb fighting the Dinobots? Eire 1st Jan 2013

Strafe's a Technobot, not an Aerialbot. Oh, and you can create a signature and date after posts automatically by typing four tildes like this: ~~~~ Jalaguy 08:19, 1 January 2013 (EST)

Possible addition to Trivia section for this issue

Is it worth bringing up that this issue stating for the first time that Chromedome and Rewind are a couple is the first instance of a same-gender romantic relationship in the entire franchise, 2.5 years before gay marriage was legal in the US? Bensect (talk) 00:28, 22 January 2026 (EST)

I think there's room for such a note, but C/R isn't the first same-gender couple. That'd be Tigatron/Airazor in Japan, and depending on how you define relationship, Akira/Cain precedes even them. A note like this would have to focus on the rep value in a purely American context (possibly with acknowledgement of the Japanese predecessors). BerylRoll (talk) 01:03, 23 January 2026 (EST)

Oh, I didn't know that, that's cool. Yeah, I think it should probably be phrased as the first English-language instance of a same-gender couple in light of that info. Would that work? Bensect (talk) 22:33, 25 January 2026 (EST)

Pillsbury McFeely said it best: "the first instance of a gay relationship in American Transformers media"Poliwag06 (talk) 23:54, 25 January 2026 (EST)

I respectfully disagree with "best" for reasons of exclusionary language (I repeat I say this with no offense intended). I'd rather see it as "the first instance of an established same-gender couple doubling as the first instance of an established male-male couple in American Transformers media". Is that agreeable?

I've added the note. BerylRoll (talk) 12:49, 29 January 2026 (EST)
