Play NowJoin the latest Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast Mainframes episode for an in depth review and analysis of Lost Light #11: "The Plotter's Club (Part 2): Filling in the Blanks". We dive deep into Getaway's personality, character flaws, and ambitions as we attempt to conclude why he's doing what he's doing, and how he is justifying the actions he's taken and what his end goals really are. We also look at other crew members including Atomizer, Perceptor, Riptide, and Thunderclash, and determine their role in the mutiny and analyze their reactions to Getaway's increasingly unhinged behavior. Additionally, we work the history of Getaway's time before and on board the Lost Light, and how characters such as Tyrest, Froid, and Sunder may or may not be preying on his tendencies. In addition, we slot the issue into a modern, real world context and examine Getaway's actions through the lens of modern authoritarianism and information manipulation. Is he a parallel to one or more modern political figures? Lastly, we take a look how many of the threads in Lost Light may be coming together to see Rodimus and company's return to the ship and a preparation for the upcoming Unicron cross over event.
