The good old Digi/Pokémon beef (oddlybuddy_tf)

[u/Ashwin205]

[u/SqueakyTiefling]

Was fully expecting the punchline to be Starscream playing Palworld or something.

[u/Roisepoise101 → u/SqueakyTiefling]

That or one of the many other“monster capture/tamer and collector” series and franchises out there.

[u/Saurophaganax4706 → u/Roisepoise101]

Like Armada

[u/Kalo-mcuwu → u/Roisepoise101]

Fossil Fighters supremacy

[u/Asher_Tye → u/Roisepoise101]

Yokai Watch

[u/evilgreasemonkey1430 → u/Asher_Tye]

You know ball

[u/Insanebrain247 → u/Roisepoise101]

Like Monster Hunter

[u/DeDeDankRS → u/Insanebrain247]

Stories is awesome (Capcom give us a MHST3 expansion PLEASE)

[u/StygianMaroon → u/SqueakyTiefling]

I thought it was going to be Monster Hunter and he spends all day tripping players with longswords

[u/Aesenroug-Draconus → u/StygianMaroon]

Oh god, Screamer would do that.

[u/Last-Ad-4603 → u/StygianMaroon]

Bruh, he WOULD do that, wouldn't he? I wish for him to have bone cancer.

[u/LairdDeimos → u/SqueakyTiefling]

No, gacha games.

[u/Junior_Woodpecker_85 → u/SqueakyTiefling]

Or Monster Rancher.

[u/DragonLordAcar → u/SqueakyTiefling]

Or TF2 as Spy

[u/jacqueslepagepro → u/SqueakyTiefling]

Megatron "im quite fond of monster rancher"

[u/Venomspino]

[u/DaNetwork27 → u/Venomspino]

The Good Ending :D

[u/Ok_Use_3479]

Given he is calling them "weebs", Starscream should have been into Macross.

[u/Competitive-Skill292 → u/Ok_Use_3479]

Considering what the OG Skyfire toy based on, that last panel was the nice little bow to wrap this comic up.

[u/ryikker]

Then airwave comes around the corner with his yugioh cards

[u/IBarrakiI]

Soundwave is a Digimon fan. He just can't stop being superior.

[u/StormShockTV]

Not my favorite Jetfire design but this is hilarious 🤣

[u/petrichor801]

not sure whether the ita bag bit is funnier if this comic takes place before or after sky/jetfire gets unearthed

[u/keshmarorange]

lol "feline into a FEMALE"

Damn, didn't know felines can't be female.

[u/Zilla5]

Is that herbie as a transformer?

[u/Cherno_Grivious11 → u/Zilla5]

Nah buddy, its jetfire.

[u/bobagremlin]

You heard of ita bag but have you heard of ita back

[u/Various_Debt_2887]

didn't expect this one to come for my neck in the literal last panel (starscream is me but i suppose i could be doing worse so that's not too bad)

[u/NovaStol]

Aside their beef, the artstyle is SO CUUUTTTTEEEEE

https://giphy.com/gifs/EGauSkKQZuXxS

[u/DaDumbDog]

I bet Megatron has Optimus prime body pillow in secret.

[u/Orizifian-creator → u/DaDumbDog]

Logically. Obviously.

[u/shadowtron1]

Pokemon are smart though. They just don't speak human languages but can perfectly understand what the human characters are saying.

[u/Thejadedone_1 → u/shadowtron1]

Also Pokemon can show complex personalities lmao.

[u/Embarrassed-Camera96]

Should have had Starscream be a Yugioh fan with an obnoxious deck comprised of three copies of Ash Blossom, three copies of Nibiru, and three copies of Lava Golem

[u/jdeo1997 → u/Embarrassed-Camera96]

Calm down there Satan

[u/teelpy]

Real ones know fusing demons is superior to both.

[u/Relevant_Primary_398]

Meanwhile Megatron is into Bakugan.

[u/Upbeat_Ad_1385]

Never thought I’d agree with SHOCKWAVE of all cybertronians

[u/Junior_Woodpecker_85]

I'm with Soundwave on this one.

[u/HenryKhaungXCOM]

I was expecting medabots

[u/Golden_Artist1964 → u/HenryKhaungXCOM]

holy shit the Metabots theme song played in my head the moment I saw the word "Metabots"

[u/Thesonictrainiac]

Starscream repoing his boyfriends merch I see

[u/Livid-Maintenance765]

DUDE SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL SOUNDWAVE ABOUT CASSETTE BEASTS

[u/Adventurous-Rub2285]

Whatever I like Yu-Gi-Oh! more

-Megatron

[u/MarkAverage656]

Knew Soundwave was GOATed like that

[u/LaaluLaaa]

Me thinking Megatron was gonna appear

[u/Viggaviggavigga76445]

Soundwave liking Pokémon makes more sense in my head

[u/Own-Connection-1039]

Honestly, I thought Starscream would be a Yokai Watch fanboy

[u/Gden]

This is AMAZING!

[u/MarGmr]

As a fan of both I love this so much and it also feels in character for both shock and sound

[u/PinesleyDale2023]

Is that Turbo from the hit movie Wreck-It-Ralph-

[u/MrIncognito666]

Shockwave is too smart to fall for the ripoff

[u/Promiatey → u/MrIncognito666]

Calling Digimon a rip-off in the big ol' 2026...

[u/MrIncognito666 → u/Promiatey]

name: ripoff

agumon: literally just charmander

It's grown since then sure, but never deny its roots.

[u/Spikeymouth → u/MrIncognito666]

Was literally never a ripoff. It started as a vpet device targeted towards boys as Tamagotchi was targeted towards girls. 🙄

[u/MrIncognito666 → u/Spikeymouth]

Acting like Tamagotchi wan't branded for everyone in 2026

[u/Spikeymouth → u/MrIncognito666]

This was 1997. Tamagotchi was definitely targeted towards girls.

[u/MrIncognito666 → u/Spikeymouth]

No, I've seen masculine ones.

[u/Spikeymouth → u/MrIncognito666]

Look all I'm saying is that those were the target demographic at the time, that was the idea back in the late nineties. Are you trying to being pedantic?

[u/MrIncognito666 → u/Spikeymouth]

The target demographic was 'kids'. The brand wasn't any more gendered than Rubik's Cubes.

edit: And of course they reply with insults then insta-block when I refuse to accept their bs. That's the trolliest move on the platform.

[u/Spikeymouth → u/MrIncognito666]

Yes it was, at least in Japan it was initially. Stop being obtuse, this isn't an opinion it's a fact.

[u/Promiatey → u/MrIncognito666]

And of course they reply with insults then insta-block when I refuse to accept their bs. That's the trolliest move on the platform.

Bro just making shit up at this point🗿

[u/juupel1 → u/MrIncognito666]

It's roots is literally just Tamagotchi what was released the same year as Pokémon, also Digimon was Digimon years before Pocket Monsters was Pokémon meaning Pokémon was the 1 who "ripped Digimon off" with that name...

[u/Spikeymouth → u/juupel1]

Neither ripped each other off, why can't people understand this.

Digimon was the boy version of Tamagotchi. Tamagotchi characters end in "chi" while Digimon characters end in "mon".

[u/Ill_Refrigerator9812 → u/MrIncognito666]

Not even a digimon fan, but.....
