>>9388466Ok it might have just been ONE writer.
>When artist/writer Nick Roche was asked to name his least favorite Transformer, he chose Longtooth after only the briefest hesitation.The only significant things he did was uh
>UK-only: got a smol matrix bit from Prime after Longtooth was with a dying fren (who survived) - it was for the buddy but instead Longtooth just kept it, but felt guilty: sends it to Optimus after hearing he lost it>in Marvel US there's some whale thing they encounter while trying to find the matrix, it bit Longtooth's leg off so he went full-Ahab, but let the whale-thing go I thinkThey're like, puzzling stories but not the worst thing I think.

>armor mechanic or Super GinraiI don't think anyone'd buy them if they were more expensive than deluxes or a childhood fave..
>9388472of course, there were no oldfags here and all of them were also driven out because of everyone except (You), my mistake you literal schizo
