>>123865305>It never really explained HOW the fuck Tailgate got out of that pit either.It felt to me like they had no time to properly construct this and other parts anymore since this isn't the only problem. Pharma's body for example was that of a normal bot and Tyrest was always well fighting or falling, without ever turning to dust. Hell, he drilled tons of holes into himself. That was a whole plot point. It's a plothole that both of them crumbled apart upon punching each other because of body age.
Late IDW1 seemed to hate antags for some reason and those they couldn't ridicule by the flow of the story were revived like Sentinel to retroactively paint them as full evil, es if they were afraid that some people might have good memories of them.
>>123866069Thanks for pointing this out. I remember having troubles accepting Tailgate's luck, but it wasn't outright wrong. I think my problem was that I couldn't buy him surviving there. If Tailgate arrived just a few days later there would have been too much time. He would have seen his desire that is him being worthy of Cyclonus and Cyc being safe and such by the moment he was happy he would die.
Though maybe you can explain this with a genuine depression and feeling of worthlessness. Maybe he didn't even approach Cyclonus when he saw the illusion of him, just as he went away from him in real life.
Would actually be cool. I wish they had taken more time to explain what everybody was seeing on Mederi, especially Getaway's crew. We know he didn't see anything, but this is too important to be glossed over so casually.
