Thumb Quest

I'm hesitant to presume that the Metrotitan thumb is what is referred to on Swerve's list, considering that Swerve himself mentions a thermonuclear thumb in issue four of MTMTE. Antimatter 13:09, 6 April 2013 (EDT)

Generations Trailcutter pack-in comic differences

Okay, I've read the pack-in comic version, and just by reading the summary here, I noticed that the pack-in comic was edited to remove references to Trailcutter's previous name. He's consistently called "Trailcutter" from the start, and the apparent scene where Whirl recommends "Trailbreaker" to change his name is absent. --Inkblot 09:39, 23 July 2013 (EDT)

Well, that conversation occurs in panel 3, page 6 of the original issue, which shows Trail____ and Whirl walking down a corridor. What's there in the pack-in version? Jalaguy 09:43, 23 July 2013 (EDT)

Panel 1 is of Whirl giving Life Lesson Number 1. Panel 2 is of Whirl expressing his hatred and amazement of Ultra Magnus, while panel 3 is them walking down a corridor while Whirl gives Life Lesson Number 2. The next panel is the flashback with Killmaster. --Inkblot 09:55, 23 July 2013 (EDT)

Oh, okay, they've just excised some dialogue from panels 2 and 3, then. In the original, Whirl continues with "The point is, we need to change your image. Starting with your name." in panel 2, and they discuss a new name and then Life Lesson 2 in panel 3. Jalaguy 11:39, 23 July 2013 (EDT)

I also noticed an error on the cover: The covers each feature a faction insignia somewhere in the background. While the other three guys use insignias appropriate to them, Trailcutter's comic cover features a Decepticon insignia in the background! --Inkblot 11:59, 23 July 2013 (EDT)
