[Blade Raider]

-I believe Go-Bots is spelled a few different ways in these comics, so I just left them as is so long as it reads Go-Bots in some way.

-I love the hand drawn White House Set. I still have it to. Wish I had done more of those. Maybe I'll do that for a comic I've been thinking about and having a hard time finding something to use for a background.

-Character intro: Wolfangel, my brother's girlfriend, now wife (That might be a spoiler now that I think about it). I didn't know what to do with her every on and it's not helped by the fact that, at the tme, women action figures in that scale weren't that plentiful and I had to settle for a Baroness with removable glasses. Ignore the Cobra emblem on her chest. I paint over that before season 1 is over.

-I still like the Clinton joke.

-Forum characters: I never said what forum this comic started on, Transfandom. One thing I decided to do is fill some side character roles with forum members. The first was Wonko and I can't remember why. Might've just been the funny name. There's a lot more in the next arc. I don't regret putting forum characters in the comic, but I don't think I would today unless I knew them in person or a long time.

-Blade completely destorys the 4th wall here. In these early comics, everyone was kind of self aware about being in a comic. Later I made a rule that only W. knows that.

-First bit of TAOWAR lore. GI Joe was disbanded and Hasbro makes toys. Oddly enough, right around this time was when the 25th GI Joe line was starting. Side note, there's a small cameo by a future character in the flashback.

-And knowing is half the battle! aka low hanging fruit comedy.

-Suddenly, Cy-Kill in the square shaped oval office. The White House's security is at it's finest today.

-Ladies and gentlemen, the villain of season 1: Leader-1. Why is he a villain? Beacuse Hasbro named a Minicon after him. That's motive right there.

-I love henchmen. They're like W, but not in charge and I can kill them off afterward.

Tomorrow: Jokes that make no sense in hindsight, an attempted big fight scene, and a deleted scene as the Zombie Go-Bots attack the White House.
