Message: <blockquote data-quote="Halivar" data-source="post: 3628656" data-attributes="member: 9327">My experience with Transformers is probably different that a lot of others here, since while I watched Transformers season #1 and the movie, my further experiences after that were solely through the Marvel comic book (I lived in Germany, and the cartoon was not played, but the comics were available).1) Megatron dies somewhere around issue #8 (at the hands of Ratchet), and doesn't resurface until near the end of the comic (where he dies again at the hands of Ratchet). Thus, my iconic big-baddies are Ratbat, Scorponok, Shockwave, and Starscream.2) Optimus died three issues before I started collecting. Most of the Marvel run was with the Autobots in civil war between the tyrannical Grimlock (the self-styled King of the Autobots) and Spike Witwicky, aka Fortress Maximus (I swear, it's true... go get the toy... the head transforms into Spike). In my early childhood, Spike Witwicky was my hero, as opposed to Optimus (because his transformer was bigger and had more guns, and he wasn't dead). Spike was also the one who blew Galvatron to smithereens in the very last issue.3) The biggest rivalry was not Optimus vs. Megatron... it was Ratchet vs. Megatron. Ratchet killed Megatron three times in the comic book, and is the only Autobot to do so. As the Autobot pacifist, he was the perfect protagonist to pit against the belligerent Decepticon leader.What I want from the next movie:1) I wanna see another Decepticon leader. Hopefully Shockwave.2) I wanna see Fortress Maximus. I wanna see Sam transform into his friggin' head.3) I wanna see Ratchet get more screen time. Ratched freakin' rocks and you guys just don't know how much.</blockquote>
