Guess this confirms this kid’s the same one from the sky pirate thing. I didn’t realize that at first.
I guess it’s cannon now.
This is a Hammertank. No cannons.
You can’t touch this.
Have a link to that? Don’t remember… at all.
Remember the kidnappers and their flying ship in the Chapter 3? The kid is their leader.
I thought we confirmed this when he first showed up?
You probably did, I just don’t always read the comments. My first guess when he first appeared was way off base.
Tanks for the memories.
man… the tank puns are actually starting to get played out lol.
I guess the optimus strategy at this point is to prime ourselves to find some other way to make puns about the situation.
I’m not very enarmoured with this idea.
It seems like a re-tread to me.
Just roll with it.
You pun-tards are treading on dangerous ground.
Dammit!!
Would you prefer it is we backed up?
Yeah, no need to fall flat over this.
this latest development has me hooked. lets see which way it swings.
Wait, wait. Backup — we can smooth this over.
I’m overcome by a feeling of mortal tread.
Though this is hardy in-sherman-tible?
Man, that’s a reach.
This hull thing has gotten out of hand.
It’s like everybody has turrets.
Yes, stand up where the sniper can see you. This surely isn’t a tactical arrowr.
Your gravatar just made that more win.
The only plan that survives first contact with the enemy is “improvise”
You’re a champion of the Indy Ploy I see. I prefer a good Batman Gambit myself
This troper prefers a Xanatos Gambit. Failure should never be an option.
Okay Batman. Let’s have a fight, each of us can pick precisely one weapon to fight with.
I choose Robin.
Actually screw that, I could just link to this instead.
Personally, I favour the Blue Fairy. Turn Batman into a real, but small, unequipped, and immature boy, and suddenly he’s really not an issue.
the kid’s geared up for his new transmission, to run down Gravedust! How treadful.
Toothpick is my insult for the day. Thank you Sister Rachel :P
I’m willing to bet the kid takes a Bandit to the back of the head soon.
However, his dialogue raises a question: if step 2 is “freedom,” were the gnomes babysitting him? I might be a bit destructive if forced to fraternize with gnomes…
I love this kids outlook on life. A failure is a mistake you haven’t corrected is an excellent operating philosophy for CEOs or tank drivers.
this kid has a disturbingly long neck.
Step 3: Profit. Best step ever!
Someone find Syr! She must do science to the tracks.
A kid whose figured out how to reverse… is this the Lewis Hamilton of their world?!
Uh, oh, he’s dealing with gnomes … He’ll never get anywhere without a Step 3: ???
As a bit of an artist myself, I’ve got to say that this page is particularly well done! The lighting in the first panel is amazingly dramatic, the red/blue contrast in the cockpit panels, and the muted lineart and colors in the outdoor Gravedust/Bandit scenes are challenging to pull off and, well . . . pulled off, it was! Nice job and thank you!
Thank YOU, MumblePeg! It IS challenging, yes, but after seven chapters, I think I’ve gotten a handle on the process of producing these pages, and I’ve developed a system that seems to be work well toward getting them out in a timely manner while still allowing a lot of creativity. Thanks again.
Have you guys noticed that the webcomic Twice Blessed is totally ripping off your whole giant robot in a fantasy fight plot thng right now?
You’re kidding, right?
I’m not kidding. Also you stole GA’s elf with exploding arrows, Cade looks like Byron, and your artist seems to be copying Waltrip’s style.
And we’re ripping off everything that came before us. It’d be pretty hypocritical to be upset if someone borrowed from us in turn.
Except I’m not borrowing from you. If I was, I’d totally own up to it. For example, I’m definitely riffing off Empire Strikes Back in this chapter, but I’m not hiding it. At all.
Note: The battle with the two giant constructs actually started like a month before your hammer tank appeared – it’s just coincidence.
At any rate, I think Riker is just trolling me here.
Does anyone else see a giant frog when they look at the tank?
Getting a bit heavy on the internet memes, there, guys…
