Turbo

Comics Marvel Universe

Turbo (Michiko “Mickey” Musashi) is likely best remembered as a 1990s New Warriors character.

She operated the Torpedo suit, from an old Rom the Spaceknight supporting character, and she’s not half-bad with it.

Split update, newsletter, Japanese sci-fi…

Small miscellaneous news about small things. It’s a small post.

Megatron

Comics Other Universes Transformers (Marvel US comics)

Perhaps the greatest villain known to Generation Y… well, at least back when they were very young and if they were watching lots of telly. And until they saw Darth Vader, I guess. Oh, well. You know.

This is the eeeviiill Transformer boss, as he appeared in the “G1” 1980s comics published by Marvel. Back then he still turned into a tricked out Walter P38 pistol.
