Transformers The Permanent Revolution

IDW Publishing's "The Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye" issue #39.
In all honesty, this is not a perfect video by any stretch of the imagination. There are some mistakes here and there, and I'll hopefully get to fixing them somewhere down the line.
Still, I hope you all enjoy this and have fun.

Well, this is my attempt at adapting a full issue of a comic into a video, and a sort of follow-up to my much shorter video featuring the introduction to the Decepticon Justice Division. I realize that it's not perfect and there were some things I could've added or done differently, but for now, this is what you get. I hope you all enjoy it. Let me know what you all think.

[@nopenopington2880]

RexBlazer1 I thought it was very well done. Not much else to say other than that.

[@AgaiLazen]

A spectacular listen! If I had the funds I'd pay you to convert the rest of MTMTE into audio books.

[@nightjaw2233]

is it possible to continue? :)

[@aurorastarkiller38]

This was extremely well done! You nailed Tarn’s voice. That’s exactly how I imagined his speaking tendencies!

[@takashi0100]

"Religion is a form of control" Says the guy who's so fanatically devoted to the Decepticon cause he might as well be a robo-Jihadist.

[@trence5]

and that's the irony.

[@jamesatherton5710]

You bigot 🤣

[@eligonzales186]

yep! But they did it cooler so there's that

[@ReubenAStern]

I think it's a perfect depiction of Marxism/ Communism. They boil religion down into it's most offensive part totally forgetting it's also a path to wisdom, yet they pay homage to religion with rituals (playing music, ect) and religious behaviour. They also say the class system is bad, yet hate and kill based on class and in this case what their body is made of... that's a link to marxism, not religion, but I thought I'd add it.

[@Vilgax00]

As a muslim myself,Tarn is the perfect example of "Removing religon from the world wont do any diffrence".

[@silenc3068]

I find it hilarious that the DJD terrifies most other transformers, but to themselves, they’re almost a family

Yeah one big, sadistic, mentally unhinged family

[@theultimateumbreon3466]

Hearing tarn speak makes the cons seem like the good guys

[@dvdWATER6308]

That what makes Idw transformers so sad. The Decepticons were fighting against a corrupted government that was pure evil but became so violent that they lost their way. It like if the rebel from star wars, after they blow up the 2nd death star, started slaughtering innocent people because they believed in the empire. Also, the way tarn described the Decepticons sounds like the french revolution.

[@samuelwithers2221]

@@dvdWATER6308 That's more or less what happened, although I compare it more the October Revolution and the Russian Civil War. Decepticonism was founded on a communistic basis, what with the core rhetoric of emancipating the lower classes, death to the aristocracy, etc. Megatron fits the bill for Lenin, and Tarn is certainly a Trostky.

[@jauzaafaishalahmadpadmadis3846]

@@samuelwithers2221 what about stalin? Overlord?

[@samuelwithers2221]

@@jauzaafaishalahmadpadmadis3846 Maybe? Stalin feels more like a Starscream to me. No idea where Shockwave would fit. But it's not meant to be a direct one-to-one comparison, just similar themes at the core of the rhetoric

[@nerdimusprime8753]

@@samuelwithers2221 I'm not sure if Tarn would be a Trotsky, but Megatron would certainly be Lenin. Stalin in my opinion would definitely be Starscream, and honestly I kind of think that Trotsky might be Optimus

My heart dropped when you said, "and once you've killed one, it was hard to stop," oh primus

[@captainfordo3978]

And this is why I LOVE the IDW Comics. EVERYTHING THAT INVOLVES THE D.J.D., Tarn specifically.

[@Savagewolver]

This does work to humanize one of the most atrocious groups of deceptions in all of media. Were not for what I knew if Tarn later, I might’ve actually sympathized with him as merely trying to keep Megatron’s legacy alive, misguided though that might’ve been. Instead, he’s plenty evil and uses religion, ironically, to build himself up. IDW, for the most part, really knew how to write this stuff.

[@derekclay9314]

Tarn is essentually a deceptinazi in a certain regard yes?

[@Daldi564]

Wonder where Starscream is on the List, given his numerous attempts to overthrow Megatron.

[@samuelwithers2221]

He was actually taken off the List by Megatron's own orders. He still wanted to keep Starscream around, both for his battle prowess and as a reminder to always watch his back

[@Daldi564]

@@samuelwithers2221 seriously? By that logic, why wasn't Shockwave taken off the list? He's attempted to overthrow Megatron as frequently.

[@samuelwithers2221]

@@Daldi564 Shockwave was on the List and even had a run in with the DJD after the prison break on Garrus 9. He got away though, at the expense of like 31 other guys with him who were also on the List. I think after that he just kinda vanished until Dark Cybertron, but I'm not entirely sure

[@Peshi80]

She had a "Ma Barker" type vibe to her.

[@Peshi80]

This IDW comic book issue given audio is another reason why it's so hard to take any animated or live action TF project in the last 20 year seriously in any way! It was great and begs the question why Hasbro and IDW can't make one last deal with Audible's "GraphicAudio" group to make official Novels like this.... Marvel has started this and it's been pretty good. I can only imagine how good the rest of James Roberts work or even Simon Furman's beginning of IDW lore would turn out if it were anything like this video.

[@loganwurtz152]

"Religion is form of control." Riiiight and whats on your face, Tarn?

[@michaelbootes4822]

He says it himself he’s all for control only as long as it is megatron doing the controlling.

[@themediumcheese]

dude literally bows to a statue of megatron LMAO

[@SardoNumspa82]

I have to say your rendition of Tarn has really grown on me. It's now the voice I hear in my head when thinking of him. I would love to hear your take on Overlord.

[@adawnicusautocon]

God I know, this guy's voice fits so perfectly for Tarn!! 😁😁

[@Pridam]

What I find interesting is that Tarn's ideal voice actor would be Kieth David aka Halo's Arbiter

Just a fan theory but imagine in an alternate universe, Tarn is the leader of the Decepticons and he's fighting against Bumblebee the new leader of the Autobots.

[@mechanova]

This was pretty good. Much better than most readings on the net. All the SFX during radio and loud backgrounds is really good

Whoever voiced Tarn needs to be the main voice actor for an actual transformers show, they are perfect
