Lil Formers #123: Time For Change?

I wonder if Optimus will choose Elit-1 as his running mate…

  1. unicron supreme

    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?

  2. Dr. Jones

    Hahaha! That’s a good one. Sorry, Rody, gotta vote for Optimus! *slips paper into box*

  3. MexiGojira

    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.

  4. Gazordenplatt

    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.

  5. autobot420

    if this election has the same results as the american one than Roddimus should be the new prime soon. excellent….

  6. Monximus

    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

  7. Fudgecrumpet

    I’m voting for a third party, Where’s wheelie when you need him?

  8. Gideon Wells

    Well, didn’t Rodimus have technically his robot form, his car form and his identical car form in the movie?

  9. Macula

    Whichever one can turn into an electronic voting machine

  10. Raymond T.

    Optimus Wins By A Landslide! :P

  11. tcochu

    I agree with Raymond T.

    Hot Rod should keep babysitting G1 Dinobots…

  12. Paula B

    LOL, I think people are trying to stretch the metaphor a bit too far.

  13. lamartherevenger

    i’m voting for wheelie too. he’s the ralph nader of the autobots.

  14. Grimlock Fan

    Great to see the bots back. Optimus is definitely going to win.

  15. Optimus Convoy

    I vote X Optimus Prime, for president of Cyberron :D

  16. Optimus Convoy

    ejem, Cybertron

  17. Mac

    I vote Oppy.

    Especially if BW-Megatron is his First Lady.

  18. olokin

    The bots are back, a good start to a potentially great week.

  19. Matt Booker

    I’m voting for Ralph Vader.

  20. Logan

    I vote for Grimlock.

  21. Armorock

    I second Logan, Grimlock for king!
    Good to have bots back

  22. hotrod/rodimus'sgirl

    My name says it all. I am SOOOO voting for Rodimus/Hotrod. ;P

  23. TheDarkLight

    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.

  24. Bob

    Rodomus is hardly an obama

  25. oldiebutagoodie

    WARPATH FOR PRESIDENT! WOO!

  26. oldiebutagoodie

    … ^///^ it can happen

  27. astrotrain

    it was just like this eletion for 2008, good god

  28. Wesley

    This would have been really funny a month ago.

  29. Farglesnarf

    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!

  30. Kairan

    Grimlock for King ‘08.

    ~*KA*~

    Me’d vote for you.

  31. Zero Magnus

    Was this based on the Obama vs McCain discussion a few days ago?

  32. Fago

    I second Wesley’s comment, a bit out-of-dated. Glad to see the bots are back, though!

  33. arceefan34393

    i would vote 4 optimus…….i bet he would choose elita-1 for his running mate….. :)

  34. Bryan

    Finally, a transformers feature!

  35. Mads

    Ha ha ha ha ha.

  36. Autobutt

    hmm Prime for Cybertron Obama for US!

  37. transnewbie

    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).

  38. Nerroth

    Vote Rodimus!

    I don’t wanna be the only one to…

  39. Autobutt

    alright i’ll vote with you Nerroth!
    :D

  40. that guy

    Grimlock is omtimus’ runningmate he is the current second in command, or at least most current. OP gets my vote.

  41. Detour

    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!

  42. Zenstrive

    VOTE FOR RODIMUS!

  43. Jason "Spin-Out"

    I am voting for Hot Rod! I have always connected with Hot Rod and his young ambition! Glad to see the Transformers!

  44. AceComics

    I’d vote Rodimus Prime/ Hot Rod
    just like I’d have voted Obama
    we need change…
    plus Hot Rod has flames…

  45. Taiya001

    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

  46. Elita0ne

    KYAAAA!! The bots are in this one ^^

    and ja~ Optimus gets my vote no questions asked! :D

  47. Matt Radel

    Dude, Optimus is the true patriot - he’s even the right colors!

  48. Andrusi

    I just wish Rodimus hadn’t beaten Ultra Magnus in the primary.

  49. Radlum

    Not even comparing Rodimus to Obama can make me like that Prime-wannabe. Just kidding, great comic, quite funny.

  50. Goldsparkles

    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!!!

  51. Kketia

    HAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHA HA OMG hilarious!!! lilformer bumble bee shirt soon please!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHA

  52. dragonkeeper19600

    The question we should all really be asking is, who will Rodimus’s running mate be? Maybe, Arcee? (Not likely.)

    lol election jokes FTW

  53. Dcon Femme

    Can’t I vote for a Decepticon? No? Fine…Wheelie here too.

  54. Beechy

    Nicely done Matt. How long can you last now that you caved and brought the bots back?

  55. Deragon

    Dude seriously vote beachcomber……nah vote ironhide he has experiance and firepower.

  56. Ethan

    Galvatron 08!

  57. Sideswipe=Awesome

    I vote Optimus, his character doesn’t suck.

  58. *JaganaR*

    @ Taiya001
    [ 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* ?? [*][*]

    didnt thinkothatDIDJA ! ! !

  59. *JaganaR*

    and to quote GRIMLOCK

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

    so my cash is on the one who IS NOT gonna suffer from inferiority ISSUES

    ^__^

    Optimus all the way

  60. Dais

    hmm in this light i guess bw megs would be the ultimate communist. y’know, devouring all the sparks and all that

  61. Gatchagrey

    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

  62. *JaganaR*

    @ 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

  63. sammi

    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!

  64. LeeStar1988

    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

  65. Ars Magnus

    HAHAHAHA!!! funny one!!! but I think thing will blow up in Prime’s face…. remember Obama…

  66. Cybertronianjedi

    I’d vote for Rodimus, but Optimus Prime’s plan sounds much cooler and makes more sense than Rodimus’.

  67. jonnywarlock

    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?

  68. megatronkicksass

    I vote Soundwave he seems like a good leader.

  69. Cheetahbot

    @oldiebutagoodie
    (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

  70. Veeble Fetzer

    Hound, Prowl, Brawn, and the rest of the suv-bots would be Repubots. Bumblebee, Tracks, Grapple, Blaster and Jazz would be Democons.

  71. starsaber

    its good to have them back

  72. Bill

    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.”

  73. Monximus

    May I add that grimlock turned republi….I mean decepticon on the DW g1 continuation

  74. Shawna

    Hmm, I’d vote for Optimus, due to his having more experience. Give Rodimus a few more vorns then I’ll reconsider.

  75. Someone

    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!

  76. Pennpenn

    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…

  77. Skooosh!

    Is that Hilary Rodimus Clinton? ZOMG

  78. Rodimus Prime

    “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…

  79. Minor Magnus

    Hot Rod=Obama
    OP0=Mcain

  80. bbrocks

    mmm lets see, the greatest heroic figure of all time, or a complete wanna be douchebag, which would you choose.

  81. obsidian

    In the Japanese continuity, Siebertron got blown up on Rodimus’s watch…Vote Optimus!

  82. brit bot

    i vote rodimus. we need young blood or oil running the autobots

  83. Optimus Fan

    Optimus forever!

  84. giovanni

    what leader or is he a bathjunk?????!!!???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????

  85. Haystack

    Oh snap, I laughed so hard I almost cried! Is it bad that I immediately put Obama’s voice in Rodimus’ mouth? LMBO!

  86. Rodimus

    RODIMUS PRIME ALL THE WAY!!!!

  87. LordBloodySoul_BlackoutFan

    LoL I vote for Optimus Prime! He’s the better leader! *put my letter in the voting box*

  88. John

    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.

  89. LordBloodySoul_BlackoutFan

    Maybe your right John, but anyway. Optimus get’s my voting XD

  90. tfafan

    nether.
    megatron for cybertron president

  91. ^^screamer^^

    i vote … er… ah … ! i’m voting for Hot Rod. Sorry Optimus.

  92. FanofTF

    i vote……..umm….uh….hot-wait no….opti-wait no….err…guys which side should i vote??? ITS TOO HARD!!!!!! :(

  93. Artimis

    GO OPTIMIS! WOOT!
    sorry Hotrod no one’s better then Prime

  94. Cletonix

    BOTH

  95. thatguywithnoimagination

    I vote… neither.

    STARSCREAM FOR PRESIDENT!!!
