I could have imagine Megatron as the republican one, but then again why would decepticons use democracy to choose a leader when they can just blast the hell of each other until the winner takes leadership, anyway, nice to see the bots once in a while.
Considering Optimus missed like 7 Million years of that war it is technically not his fault…And considering that Rodimus lacks the carisma, and that technically he’s advertasing triple changing when he is not technically one, i mean c’mon, its like schwarzeneger making anti-imigrant policies, when he’s not one, besides it is not a war against the decepticons, only the faction led by megatron…..OK…OPTIMUS IS LIKE SUCH A NEOLIBERAL….a part of me just died XD
Rodimus prime anyday much better leader than freaking optimus who repeatedly puts people in danger and doest ever check the base throughtly for decepticons that may be hanging around.
okay, it took me the second time reading it to get it. And it sucks it took me until now to figure out how to post a comment. Anyway, good one. I keep hearing everywhere about optimus vs rodimus; who made the better prime. Anyway, I think they both did a good job. I just hope when optimus came back to life, he realized not only what rodimus did as prime, but also that he might still be the next prime and actually train him for the position. Maybe then Rodimus won’t be so emo about the position (and yes, I do like Rodimus. I however am mad at arcee for going for Springer when Rodimus needed her most).
Rodimus is the better diplomat, as evidenced by the numerous intergalactic gatherings (FFOD’s olympics, Madman’s Paradise’s party) and negotiations between warring planets he dealt with (The Quintesson Journal).
Optimus just went around shooting at Megatron and very little else.
Omg funny comic i’ll have to show my friend she would love this one.
oh and i don’t think i would vot at this election they’re both too awesome.
oh and my friend say make a lilformer bumble bee shirt she really wants one!!!

[ EPIC BOOOO ]
that was ok i guess,
I just think Megatron : 0rigin should not have happened ( some data should not be known , IE wolverine : Origin)
besides i ask you
[*][*] who in their right mind will vote for a ‘Bot who has yet to view a fembot *COUGH*under-the-hood*COUGH* ?? [*][*]
dude lets look at at acheivements…rodimus took down UNICRON….
rodimus was a reluctant leader…not one with inferiority issues…he questioned is postion because of how quickly it was thrown on him..its funny because they now have made optimus prime more like how rodimus was….it started with beast wars…then his vehicle mode in war within…then the flames in the movie..then even his personality some what in the new animted cartoon …IMHO
@ Gatchagrey
FACT :// if it wasnt for HOTROD , prime would still be with us.
FACT :// OPTIMUS is not *RODIMUS* enough to let megatron try and get a cheap shot . *ONE SHALL STAND…ONE SHALL FALL*
(>publicly declaring he would END Megatron’s Spark>
IF there was no HOT ROD , it would have been OPTIMUS Prime who would take out UNICRON
( because even he said it , ONE SHALL STAND ONE SHALL FALL )
and even if Prime Fell , it would have been to a WORTHY sucessor basicly anymonkey-bot but Wheelie XD

(November 17th, 2008 at 4:18 pm: WARPATH FOR PRESIDENT! WOO!)
Hell yeah \m/ With Blaster as a running mate!!!!!!!! \m/ Loudest campaign ever!
I’d go for Oppy between these two because, hey, the running around and shooting at Megs bits back in the mid 80s pretty much made me the fan I am today. I guess I’m a reluctant TF conservative xD So, Optimus - Ironhide ‘08.
Someone should count all the votes and tell us who the winner is. xD
His ad cinched it for me. “Me Grimlock want to be leader. Optimus full of beryllium baloney, Hot Rod full of cesium salami. Me Grimlock kicked Unicron’s butt, and Me Grimlock created Computron. Me Grimlock’s record speaks for it self.”
Based on what they’re saying in this comic, is Optimus supposed to be McCain and Rodimus Obama? Coz if so, Optimus’ running mate would have to be Wheelie. Instant campaign killer!
If Ultra Magnus’s track record would end up like like his TF: Animated version, I’d vote for him. I mean, he not only won the war against the Decepticons, he made Cybertron productive and kept the ‘cons banished to the distant edges of the cosmos for millenia.
I think G1 Magnus would have made a good leader if not for Galvatron…
I don’t think this would really work out. look back at the war within, and so many other works. cybertron usually has some sort of “high council” or whatnot. primes are ceasars. they’re military leaders. not absolute rulers. but with a war that’s been lasting that long, it’s easy enough to forget that.

nice. Great to have the bots back. When was Rodimus a triple changer? He didn’t have both vehicle modes at the same time did he?
November 17th, 2008 at 12:33 am
Hahaha! That’s a good one. Sorry, Rody, gotta vote for Optimus! *slips paper into box*
November 17th, 2008 at 2:31 am

November 17th, 2008 at 2:34 am
Oh, I get it, Triple since Hot Rod had two different transformation animations in the movie alone for going into car mode.
Getting the coin out again.
Blaster-T, Grimlock-T, Fort Max-H, Jetfire-T, Optimus-T, Prowl-H, Rodimus-T, Sentinel-T, Ultra Magnus-H
Fort Max-H, Prowl-T, Magnus-H
Fort Max-H, Magnus-T
Fortress Maximus it is.
That’s how I picked Baldwin for president.
November 17th, 2008 at 2:48 am
if this election has the same results as the american one than Roddimus should be the new prime soon. excellent….
November 17th, 2008 at 3:05 am

November 17th, 2008 at 3:07 am
I’m voting for a third party, Where’s wheelie when you need him?
November 17th, 2008 at 3:27 am
Well, didn’t Rodimus have technically his robot form, his car form and his identical car form in the movie?
November 17th, 2008 at 3:41 am
Whichever one can turn into an electronic voting machine
November 17th, 2008 at 5:15 am
Optimus Wins By A Landslide!
November 17th, 2008 at 6:26 am
I agree with Raymond T.
Hot Rod should keep babysitting G1 Dinobots…
November 17th, 2008 at 7:25 am
LOL, I think people are trying to stretch the metaphor a bit too far.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:39 am
i’m voting for wheelie too. he’s the ralph nader of the autobots.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Great to see the bots back. Optimus is definitely going to win.

November 17th, 2008 at 8:45 am

November 17th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Rodimus prime anyday much better leader than freaking optimus who repeatedly puts people in danger and doest ever check the base throughtly for decepticons that may be hanging around.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:10 pm

November 17th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
WARPATH FOR PRESIDENT! WOO!

November 17th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
This would have been really funny a month ago.
November 17th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
I vote Optimus because he came to see me on my birthday in the form of an ice cream cake. Rodimus didn’t even bother sending me a card!
November 17th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Grimlock for King ‘08.
~*KA*~
Me’d vote for you.
November 17th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Was this based on the Obama vs McCain discussion a few days ago?
November 17th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
I second Wesley’s comment, a bit out-of-dated. Glad to see the bots are back, though!
November 17th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
i would vote 4 optimus…….i bet he would choose elita-1 for his running mate…..
November 17th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Finally, a transformers feature!
November 17th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Ha ha ha ha ha.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:44 pm

November 18th, 2008 at 1:17 am
alright i’ll vote with you Nerroth!
November 18th, 2008 at 2:04 am
Grimlock is omtimus’ runningmate he is the current second in command, or at least most current. OP gets my vote.
November 18th, 2008 at 3:23 am
Rodimus is the better diplomat, as evidenced by the numerous intergalactic gatherings (FFOD’s olympics, Madman’s Paradise’s party) and negotiations between warring planets he dealt with (The Quintesson Journal).
Optimus just went around shooting at Megatron and very little else.
Peace over war!
November 18th, 2008 at 6:16 am
VOTE FOR RODIMUS!
November 18th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
I am voting for Hot Rod! I have always connected with Hot Rod and his young ambition! Glad to see the Transformers!
November 18th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I’d vote Rodimus Prime/ Hot Rod
just like I’d have voted Obama
we need change…
plus Hot Rod has flames…
November 18th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
I dont vote Autobot, but, I still like prime better then Hot rod. Hot rod gives me a headache. great job on this one Matt. I am very impressed.
after Megatron Origin, the bots are just tyrants preaching primus
November 18th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
KYAAAA!! The bots are in this one ^^
and ja~ Optimus gets my vote no questions asked!
November 18th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Dude, Optimus is the true patriot - he’s even the right colors!
November 18th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
I just wish Rodimus hadn’t beaten Ultra Magnus in the primary.
November 18th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Not even comparing Rodimus to Obama can make me like that Prime-wannabe. Just kidding, great comic, quite funny.
November 18th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Omg funny comic i’ll have to show my friend she would love this one.
oh and i don’t think i would vot at this election they’re both too awesome.
oh and my friend say make a lilformer bumble bee shirt she really wants one!!!
November 18th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
HAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHA HA OMG hilarious!!! lilformer bumble bee shirt soon please!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHA
November 18th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
The question we should all really be asking is, who will Rodimus’s running mate be? Maybe, Arcee? (Not likely.)
lol election jokes FTW
November 19th, 2008 at 2:18 am
Can’t I vote for a Decepticon? No? Fine…Wheelie here too.
November 19th, 2008 at 4:11 am
Nicely done Matt. How long can you last now that you caved and brought the bots back?
November 19th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Dude seriously vote beachcomber……nah vote ironhide he has experiance and firepower.
November 19th, 2008 at 6:33 pm

“we need prime with BALLS”
(TF : war within)

^__^
Optimus all the way
November 20th, 2008 at 10:18 am
hmm in this light i guess bw megs would be the ultimate communist. y’know, devouring all the sparks and all that
November 20th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
dude lets look at at acheivements…rodimus took down UNICRON….

November 20th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Rodimus didnt defeat Unicron…the matrix did :p rodimus just help it and did some high almighty pose.
ANYWHOOOOOO I vote Optimus… because hes more awesome… and all he dd was shoot megatron, that earns my respect!
WOO!
November 21st, 2008 at 10:02 am
Loved the weeks comic,
I hope we get a Mortal Kombat vs DC one now its out after the one with superman chained to a kryptonite boulder
November 21st, 2008 at 7:16 pm
HAHAHAHA!!! funny one!!! but I think thing will blow up in Prime’s face…. remember Obama…
November 21st, 2008 at 8:04 pm
I’d vote for Rodimus, but Optimus Prime’s plan sounds much cooler and makes more sense than Rodimus’.
November 22nd, 2008 at 5:58 am
I vote for Octane. What? He can solve any energy crisis! Sure, he’d steal oil from other countries but what do you call the US occupation of Iraq?
November 22nd, 2008 at 4:25 pm
I vote Soundwave he seems like a good leader.
November 22nd, 2008 at 4:49 pm

November 22nd, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Hound, Prowl, Brawn, and the rest of the suv-bots would be Repubots. Bumblebee, Tracks, Grapple, Blaster and Jazz would be Democons.
November 23rd, 2008 at 1:23 pm
its good to have them back
November 23rd, 2008 at 5:17 pm
I’m voting for Grimlock
His ad cinched it for me. “Me Grimlock want to be leader. Optimus full of beryllium baloney, Hot Rod full of cesium salami. Me Grimlock kicked Unicron’s butt, and Me Grimlock created Computron. Me Grimlock’s record speaks for it self.”
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:19 pm
May I add that grimlock turned republi….I mean decepticon on the DW g1 continuation
November 24th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Hmm, I’d vote for Optimus, due to his having more experience. Give Rodimus a few more vorns then I’ll reconsider.
November 25th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Based on what they’re saying in this comic, is Optimus supposed to be McCain and Rodimus Obama? Coz if so, Optimus’ running mate would have to be Wheelie. Instant campaign killer!

If Ultra Magnus’s track record would end up like like his TF: Animated version, I’d vote for him. I mean, he not only won the war against the Decepticons, he made Cybertron productive and kept the ‘cons banished to the distant edges of the cosmos for millenia.
I think G1 Magnus would have made a good leader if not for Galvatron…
November 25th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Is that Hilary Rodimus Clinton? ZOMG
November 26th, 2008 at 11:13 am
“I wonder if Optimus will choose Elit-1 as his running mate…”
Well, if Rodimus wins, then I guess Arcee will be Secretary of State…
November 26th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Hot Rod=Obama
OP0=Mcain
November 29th, 2008 at 12:01 am
mmm lets see, the greatest heroic figure of all time, or a complete wanna be douchebag, which would you choose.
December 5th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
In the Japanese continuity, Siebertron got blown up on Rodimus’s watch…Vote Optimus!
December 15th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
