[Edit: Hey, I know I messaged those who have responded to me about this post, but I just wanted to thank everyone for correcting me; like I stated below I’m still new to the TF universe so I’m not as familiar with everything thats going on]

First off, what a great issue. Bittersweet, moving, and hauntingly wonderful. The words spoken, the heartache, the art…everything delivered beautifully.

Pipes
Rewind
Drift
And where in the world did Magnus go?! :((

There’s not more I can say that hasn’t already been mentioned by other users on this comic issue.

Now…
PLEASE BE WARNED: MAJOR OPINIONS AHEAD. And chances are you may hate me for it, or see me as a “hater”, anti-gay/yaoi or whatever (even though everyone is supposedly gender less in TF), but I am not. I just view things differently, and, believe me, this will be so hard to express in words without offending anyone. I’d also like to apologize deeply in advanced as well, if I offend anyone, in any way. I’m really sorry everyone. :(( But, again, these are just MYopinions.

I really don’t see Rewind and Chromedome as a couple. Just because you share a certain relationship or bond with someone, doesn’t automatically deem you as “lovers” or a couple. A relationship/friendship like this…is so much more than that. It’s beyond that. So much more. In a way, their relationship reminds me of Frodo and Sam’s from LOTR. You can love and give love to someone without it being sexual as a couple. You can share the most precious moments of your life with someone dear and close to you without being lovers. The fact that this very person is in your life, who has helped you cope in so many ways you’d never imagine, has always been there for you. The fact that without this person, you’d only be half the person you believe yourself to be. They have helped you in more ways than you could ever think of. They are your other half, but not necessarily in the form of a lover. And just because you tell or show someone you love them, doesn’t automatically mean it’s romantic. In the words of Frodo: “I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam”.

This is how I see Chromedome and Rewind. Not just them, but others as well.

PLEASE know that I’ve only recently got into the Transformers franchise and fandom. I did grow up with Beast Wars (loved it) and Beast Machines but had no idea it was part of the Transformers universe until recently. I got into Prime, which then led me onto the MTMTE comics and others TF series and generations as well, so I’m still fairly new to the TF world (thank god for TFwiki!)

And if I am completely wrong and off on this, and the relationship between Chromedome and Rewind IS meant to be as a couple, then by all means I’m truly sorry.
