It's more then half the length of the series, so it casts a long shadow over it. <br />And considering it was so long, its' so galling there were no awnsers, because they had more then enough time and space to provide them. <br /><br />The Fallen was a herald of Unicron ( and was taken out by Primus himself, a true deus ex machina that. )<br />Sunstorm seems to be a primus herald\zealot ..whatever. <br />He was at least The Fallen's thematic opposite, dunno if they did that in purpose or not. <br />Snowkatthttp://focusedtotalitycomics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-30369275264732824062015-11-23T09:38:31.039-08:002015-11-23T09:38:31.039-08:00To be fair, a lot of stuff in this run didn't ...To be fair, a lot of stuff in this run didn't get resolved; not just Sunstorm. I don't think Mick can be blamed for the unexpected end to his Dreamwave career. I'm sure he would've gotten to some of the loose ends over time.<br /><br />I do recall Mirage's role in downing the Decepticon cruiser, but I didn't think it was pertinent to the recap above. I love his line when he lands after sabotaging it: "Sorry, Prime. The ship... was full." He says it like a deadpan joke and all the Autobots start laughing, but it's really kind of an unfunny nonsequiter.<br /><br />Good point about Sunstorm possibly being the Fallen's opposite number. It's been so long since I read THE DARK AGES that I don't really recall what his deal was, other than that he was big on Primus, and Sunstorm is also into that sort of thing.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-40067799292592507412015-11-21T06:28:28.765-08:002015-11-21T06:28:28.765-08:00Aaand this is where the ongoing went tits up for m...Aaand this is where the ongoing went tits up for me. <br />3 issues in, a new record I'm sure. ( Well no, I despised AHM after issue 1 already. ) <br />I don't like Starscream ...at all. <br />So any story featuring him and a bloody clone of him spouting nonsense, <br />( nonsense that never got resolved ) isn't really going to win me over. <br /><br />The Decepticon cruiser crashed, not because of shoddy workmanship, but because Mirage sabotaged it though. <br />Personally I always felt that The War Within mini's , were the proper continuity. Because they forged their own way and weren't trying to slavishly follow the cartoon, or make cartoon nudges and winks and obnoxious references and recreating scenes whole sale. <br /><br />I don't think Sunstorm and The Fallen have any connection to be honest. <br />Though I never gave it any serious thought <br />But if anything, Sunstorm is The Fallen's opposite, he is a Primus zealot and apparently had the powers to back this up. <br />Doesn't make him any less annoying though, because he keeps warbling for 4 long, long issues. <br />And the decompression doesn't let up it will only get worse. <br /><br />Snowkatthttp://focusedtotalitycomics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
