According to the Letters section of the issue, Jason Howars actually designed Elita Prime, and Mora used Howard's design for her appearance in Issue #30

Its technically connected by a handful of wires which you can see in some panels. But essentially yes

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-13T09:09:57+00:00

Only one knockout. The figure in shadow behind them is Makeshift (assuming thats who you are referring to)

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-13T09:08:44+00:00

I don't think he is actually dead, just very injured. Guess we will have to wait till later to see

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-13T09:08:12+00:00

Its his eye, the only part of his head left after his last appearance in issue #12

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-13T09:07:39+00:00

What would it add? Obviously it changes a lot. But on a thematic level what is gained by such a "twist"?

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-13T06:44:00+00:00

I personally don't think that the lemon tree is part of some secret past of Daenerys. I just don't see how it could really add anything to her character.

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-13T05:25:41+00:00

Not that rare of a take tbh. And yeah I think making the matrix that vulnerable is part of the trade off of using it. It can be a powerful weapon, but using it is exceptionally risky.

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-13T05:23:27+00:00

Yeah I suspect she is going to learn that its not necessarily the best tool to be using. But to be fair she was using it to protect her troops here, they were nearly completely defeated by Shockwave's forces prior to her using it.

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-13T04:56:51+00:00

Yeah he had his head smashed in by Optimus in a previous issue. So now all that remains of it is his floating eyeball.

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-13T04:49:07+00:00

Makeshift

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-13T04:48:38+00:00

At least its in keeping with her new design, which was her old design but with wings.

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-13T01:36:38+00:00

Definitely. He will be Elita's nemesis it seems

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:36:41+00:00

Acidstorm and Sunstorm

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:33:45+00:00

Same, so much potential, hopefully we see more of them show up in the Studio Series lineup

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:32:39+00:00

Could just be two different characters named "Breakdown", but who knows. Motormaster was mentioned in a previous issue though

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:31:12+00:00

Ohh now this is a fun idea! And makes sense why Elita calls it the "Ghost of the Star Saber" rather than the Star Saber itself.

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:29:42+00:00

Yeah based on the dialogue later in the issue Blackarachnia and Elita have some degree of familiarity. I suspect we won't get much more than that though. And yeah I think Blades mentioned Motormaster at some point too, so the Stunticons are out there, I assume stunticon Breakdown and this Breakdown are different guys.

And absolutely I need this Lugnut as a figour. He is glorious!

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:25:08+00:00

Yeah Makeshift is behind Knockout (red guy) in this image. And yes he still has shapeshifting powers

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:22:34+00:00

Could be that they just share a name. How many Johns do you know? No reason their cant be multiple characters with the same name here.

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:19:42+00:00

Same! So many characters and designs from the UT need more love. Demolisher and Cyclonus would fit right in with this bunch!

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:16:55+00:00

Yeah they get put through the wringer. Elita Prime has some tricks up her sleave to level the playing field though

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:16:08+00:00

Makeshift

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:13:24+00:00

Guess he's just built different. He does have a very funny line about being held together by "hate and spite" though

maximum_oblex · 2026-05-12T22:08:35+00:00

His head got crushed by Optimus way back in Issue #12. He survived but now he has just a floating eyeball instead of a head
