[Blade Raider]

-Oh hey, There is a little more of Arm Bullet and Gasket. I forgot.

-The Renegades aka I did it first Hasbro! This is a group of Joes from the early 90's. The ones I had as a kid.

-Captain Grid-Iron > Duke. At the very least better than the Duke in this comic.

-Couple of Forum Characters are here as well mainly to give Wing Zero an attack that works.

-Don't worry about Spay-C. He isn't dead. He's a zombie.

-I want to use Stretcher again some day. The idea of him using a stretcher as a weapon/shield/etc. is great.

-So Leader-1 got a power up. That's the Justice League Watch Tower playset. Fun fact: I use to display it between Unicron and Primus both in planet mode...think about that.

-I destroyed a screen shot of ID4 for that effect.

-So yeah, we have some more minions for Leader-1 here.

-For something different I decided Claw should fight someone else other then W. Also, the scorpion drone from Arc 1 is under Claw's command now.

-Kai Blast: Midas Claw. Yeah, Claw gets one. It's based on the ability of Soi Fong has in Bleach that's an instant death attack if it hits twice. Here I combined it with the Midas touch.

-Claw Jaw is talking correctly again...while fighting Mousers.

-That droid came with the flame parts. I set up the fight just to use them. It would look great if not for that huge stand in the shot. Why did I never make more of an effort to crop thos out?

-The MASSIVE ONE POINT OF ARTICULATION droid became a recurring character in Filler Funnies and specials. He's so unabashedly one note that I loved using him whenever I could.

-W is being useful again...it just feels wrong.

-"Buttons" I think we all know where this is going.

-I forgot a to comment on the Weather Channel back at the beginning of the Botcon arc. At the time Archangel would always be watching the Weather Channel and pretty rarely anything else. We loved giving him shit about that. His come back was always "there's never reruns."

-Anyways, I love this small talk while waiting on an elevator in the middle of a battle joke. It cuts the tension in all the right ways.

-Yep, "buttons." I also like W. whistling nonchalantly while walking away.

Tomorrow: The Season 1 finale. Twists and turns and the real final battle. Also, Blade's awful, awful, hat.
