At least the comic is dying because nobody but the die-hard Roberts cocksuckers buys this or even likes it.

It's not as different as people think it is from before. People are just butthurt about certain plot twists.

If they put Milne & Burcham back on the book, it'd affect the tone that much that the sales would be right back on track. I seriously think the art was that important.

Nah, the art is kinda cutesy, but fine.

It's the ridiculousness of some of these TWEESTS, muh angst and characters becoming ragingly OOC to facilitate them that people are hating.
Also this whole last shitty arc. And probabl the next shitty arc because it's going to be based on more Lug and Anode wanking.

It's a misunderstanding.

Basically terminus tricked him to getting trapped in the functionist universe. The crew don't know why he stayed behind, Ultra Magnus is making the assumption that he's done it to run away from prosecution.

Nah, Megatron was just trying to do the right thing, surprisingly, but then Terminus and UM got him stuck in the alternate reality so he could have a do-over.
Now it seems either UM has either been plotting against him this whole time or he's totally committed to trying to get Rodimus to leave Megatron in the alternate universe.
>>
>>93506776
>It's not as different as people think it is from before. People are just butthurt about certain plot twists.

Not really. The first 20 issues while having retarded shit felt tight. The characters had unique voices, the storylines were diverse and had a combination of talking and action, there was lots of cool new lore, every issue felt imporant to the character and overall plot etc.

After a while all that tight ploting went away so that Roberts can try and recreate shitty Dr Who plots, all the characters started acting like parodies of themselves, writing for TEH FEEEELZ became all to obvious and the book just lost everything that made it good.

Most people admit that they only kept buying the book because of Milne and his art. Without the art Roberts is finally seen for what he is, a king with no clothes. Just like what happened with Scott when the first Windblade artists fucked off.

If they bring back Milne & Burcham the sales WILL jump up because of them, but the the the damage has been done.
>>

>>
>>93506845
Magnus deliberately got Rodimus to leave Megatron behind by yelling "we can't let megatron...GET AWAY, Rodimus. cant let him GETAWAY"

I'm assuming the whole UM screeching "ABUSER! ABUSE!" thing is some tumblr pandering.
>>
>>93506819
Not really. We are having one of those hilarious misunderstandings where the crew thinks that Megatron abandoned them and Megs thinks that the crew left him.

>If they bring back Milne & Burcham the sales WILL jump up because of them, but the the the damage has been done.

we can only hope but IDW is gonna be stubborn about this.

Jack Angel and Susan Blu as MTMTE Ultra Magnus and Tailgate.

Jack Angel definitely sounds more like Robert Stack now than he did in the G1 cartoon.

>>93506877
>Alex if he'd come back if IDW gave Lost Light to him?

I think Milne burned that bridge honestly.
>>
>>93506868
Sure you're not reading into what Magnus said too much?

He said "We can't let him get away." his intent was not to allow him to stay behind because he already thought he was running away. He only repeated himself after Rodimus got triggered as fuck and asked him "What did you just say?"
>>
>>93506776
>It's not as different as people think it is from before.
Want to confirm that? Storytime's ongoing, guys...
>>93506961
>>
>>93506900
Seemed deliberate as fuck to me. Especially since he was very trusting towards Megatron a moment before and knew how to trigger Rodimus.
>>
>>93506776
no really, while Milnes art did make me enjoy issues better, I also liked issues that weren't done by him. the writing really is shit. characters have such extreme personality shifts from issue to issue, some times even page to page.

What happened to the moral grey area? Why aren't any of the new crew members decepticons? He keeps introducing these new characters and they have absolutely no investment in what's going on.

Actually, that might be the heart of the problem right there. Before, it was 200 transformers that were forced to rely on each other to make it through their voyage. Now we have a flood of new characters that have no connection to each other or even the universe at large. I mean, Rodimus and the rest were stuck on an alternate reality and the only people on necroworld who cared was brainstorm. Everyone has formed their little groups with their own problems and they don't cross over.
>>

>Before, it was 200 transformers that were forced to rely on each other to make it through their voyage. Now we have a flood of new characters that have no connection to each other or even the universe at large.

It's not the new character is that every character has devolved to the G1 cartoon level of "one trait per character" and that trait is "LE SO QUIRKY XDD" 9 times out of 10.

No character feels like a person anymore with their own history, their own faults, hopes, dreams, personalities. They have all been characterized by one thing and nothing outside of that one thing. MTMTE got popular because it did the EXACT opposite of that in the years when TFP was doing just that.

Fangry has had pretty little focus, i saw in a preview for this new issue he's getting some focus. That has me excited.

but yeah Anode and Lug could have been written out and they had more Decepticons on board.

You know what could have been cool if they used this time to bring back in either Bulkhead, Rhinox or Lugnut who are canonically still missing. Lugnut being loyal to Megatron, being the new Ravage but at the same time not be the new Ravage. Bulkhead or Rhinox as a humble badass type, something we could use right about now.

TAAO ended on Scott's on terms because IDW wanted to her to change the story she was going to tell.
>>
>>93507277
Well from all indications the story she was going to tell would have been meandering as fuck.
>>
>>93507277

IDW wanted to do that because they obviously tough that the series isn't popular and isn't selling well.

The "ending on my own terms" is PR corporate response because Scott is a professional and won't go on a meltdown "TEH RUINED MUH STORYY!!!" like Roberts will go when he gets fucked because she knows that would be carrier suicide.
>>
>>93507261
I don't think jro can pull that off. He's clearly given up with working on Megatron.

However, I fucking love that idea. The UM side of him is all black and white, essentially Lawful Neutral and guided by just the autobot code and baser emotions such as anger, whilst Miminus Ambus is gentle and thoughtful and sees shades of grey, however, he's essentially addicted to and feels he has to use the UM suit.
>>
>>93507261
>>93507317
I'm definitely getting some hints of that from him.

Though it doesn't seem to be intrinsically tied to the Magnus armor. He's given 2 completely different points of view RE: Megatron avoiding his trial whether he's wearing it or not.

"We gotta keep delaying their trip back to the Lost Light", that's what.

>>93506830
I'm more confused about how you think it needs resolving. They sent the messages. Everyone thinks they're dead. That's part of the description of this series. It's simple.
>>93507636
Getting back to the Lost Light is also part of the book's description. I don't understand how so many people are whining about how "we haven't seen the mutineers yet" or how "they aren't back on the Lost Light yet". Are you people expecting them to get back there as soon as possible? The entire point of the series is how they're getting the Lost Light back. did you think is was going to be something different? Why do you want to blow that load so early?

Because since Issue 50, we were given the biggest holy shit moment and since then very little has payed off.

I know this season is about Rodimus and friends making their way back to their ship but so far it hasn't been satisfying the first 6 issues, no real progress has happened outside of ditching Megatron and the forcedness of Anode & Lug.

I have no idea what goes on in issue 7 but the sooner they begin their journey back the better.

So far the comic's been a bust.

I'll definitely enjoy issue 10 when it finally comes out but that's still a few months away.

It's a shame Roberts has so many great characters but now it's like he doesn't know what to do with them.

I wish Nick Roche could take over, I think he'd be able to give a more satisfying conclusion.

You know, I know t shouldn't but I did like the fondness the LL command had for one another, and I honestly find it pretty shitty they assumed Megatron betrayed them rather than got delayed or hurt in the huge battle raging above. Doesn't even feel like good drama, just feels shitty.

yeah i wish they gave him benefit of the doubt but considering how the mutiny was caused by Megatron being there and it was mostly him. Everything from 50 and on was because they associated with him, the loss of Skids and Ravage....the damages and all that. I can get why they are fucking pissed.

It is weird seeing Rodimus kinda more relaxed, like he's pissed but calmed down about it.

This is probably the best Rodimus has been in quiet a while.
>>
>>93508733
God, I love Fangry now.
>>
>>93508809

I guess that is a good point.

still i guess it's also, that violence just begets another cycle of violence. I mean Tailgate really fucked up Fangry, can't say I don't get why he didn't just forgive.

It's so friggin callous how Fangry befriended Kaput just to brutally slaughter him.


Tailgate has that habit of just bringing out the worst in people lol.
>>
>>93508733
Why is Roberts milking the cygate drama so hard? Is he trying to make people who actually liked it hate it now? Because that's what's happening to me.
>>
>>93508898

Because Cygate is one of the things the fans loved or at least what Roberts thinks people want.

what we really want is the story to get back on track.
>>
>>93508898
He doesn't understand it's popularity is from the fact it's a slow burn light-hearted and sweet background plot, not a fucking spanish soap opera.

I think he's really attempting to pander right now. Lug/Anode feel like they've just been thrown in so he can have some lesbians on the crew. Magnus having a tumblr crypost breakdown over Megatron. Trying to focus on cygate with tragic shit.

Feels more like characters just flipflopping round depending on what the latest drama is rather than organic drama from actual conflict and shit.
>>
>>93508934
There was a story?

This is like MLP with the seriousness in the beginning and then at the end with slice of life in the middle. Except I don't like this Slice because it isn't cute ponies.

Jro should just kill Rodimus and bring Megatron back and somehow tank anyone else that needs to be gone.

I'd say Cyclonus finding out that Whirl is indirectly responsible for breaking him and Tailgate up might cause some drama, but seeing as the Skids/Quark/Brainstorm thing got fucking dropped like a stone, who knows.

Cygate was a mistake. It was kind of neat when it was fresh and still seemed more like a "master/student" or "father/son" relationship, but once it got obviously romantic, fuck that shit

Tailgate was great up until SOOPER STRENGTH. Before that the romance shit was downplayed on account of Getaway being a creeper and you could pretend Cyclonus was just trying to keep Tailgate from being a gullible idiot. Everything after Tailgate's steroids powerup just made you want to punch the fucker. Going out on a whimper is probably the best he's going to get at this point.

At least until more AU fuckery happens and we get a Tailgate from ANOTHER fractured timeline.

it is surprising but considering how they have always had trust issues with him, can't say i blame them.

I mean he did commit mass genocide in the past.

it's awful they have no faith in him that he didn't mean to stay behind but considering everything they've been through since issue 50, can you really blame them?

Man poor BlankBlack.

There was that "we need to talk bit" that never got followed up but i doubt Whirl and Fangry conspired.

and yes Brainstorm needs to know what happened to Quark at least.

someone suggested the idea of Skids reincarnating in a manner simmiliar to the Doctor, not as THE Skids but perhaps as another version of the character or use one of the Diaclone Skids for the basis.

Whirl quite clearly told Tailgate he was beating the shit out of Cyclonus in his sleep and it was a Bad Thing, leading to Tailgate's reaction to break up with Cyclonus.
It was an intervention for his friend and a metaphor for unhealthy relationships, and in those situations the person who's lost their loved one due to their friend getting involved tends to react badly, even if it was for entirely good reasons.

But with all the missed character drama this book has had recently in favour of trite muh feelings stuff, I don't know if we'll go there.

It would be pretty fucked up if Cy comes back in like four million years to say hi and then just kinda stands over a screaming Tailgate.

But I'm not too worried about it.
-The other bots will notice that two of their team is missing
-Flowers are a fake out. The radiation made them grow super rapidly. I bet it's only been a day or two.
-Someone's bound to question Fangry? Like why aren't you in the labs anymore?
-And I also bet TG is going to use the last of his zapping away strength to get out of the metal box at least, if only to have him stuck underground in the normal dirt so that he can be found? Or slowly crawl his way to the top?

All in all, good job Roberts.

Pretty much. Or, if you're the optimistic sort, this time he'll do it peacefully, earning his redemption.

let's be real here, Roberts got overhyped too fast as the 2nd coming, and thus his ego got bloated too fast.

I mean he could turn it around but that'd take self reflection.

if he took a year off from comics or 2 like Mairghread Ann Scott did, maybe he'd come back stronger. i mean she ultimately fixed a lot of the issues with her previous comics when TAAO was going.

TAAO was getting SO GOOD it's only major problem was slow pacing. Too bad that the first two Windblade series ruined her reputation with the fandom so people weren't willing to give TAAO a go.
>>
>>93513941
Is it manipulation if he wanted to join up anyway? I mean he was standing in a crowd listening to Megatron orate with a big robo boner when senpai noticed him, and he was a violent asshole who was drug free by that point.
He's pretty much just a hypocrite if he lays all the blame on Megatron.

Man I'm excited for Rodimus and gang to get back to Getaway now. Megatron's gone, that looses all of Getaway's argument right three. Tailgate's gone, that's going to be very interesting, and when Roddy tells the others about the DJD (good way to slip in that's how Megatron was "destroyed") everyone's going to turn on Getaway pretty quick. You think Getaway is going to get killed off? I'm worried that he will, but he's such a good character if you really think about it.

He's shown to be standing at Megatron's side in several flashbacks, and Megatron showed him alot of favouritism from what I can remember.

But he was never an original decepticon command character, so I guess he was the favourite grunt/assassin until he ran away to join a fancier cult.

Sparks hold something more like "personalities", I believe. The "essence" of a cybertornian.
Processors are for your memories.

Information Creep indicates that memories are stored in the brain module and can become corrupted. They're not from the spark.

>>93515169
>This should have been issue 1 of Lost Light.

I disagree. It'd be shit if they just immediately went right back to the LL. On an issue-by-issue basis, it's not actually been that long since we saw Getaway. It's just with fucking Revolutions and print delays etc that it's worked out much longer in real-time. In print, two arcs and a little filler isn't that long to wait.

I have the same thoughts. Cygate was pretty adorable, but it should have just stayed as a subdued fluff (with actual pay-off). We already had all that that tragedy shit with Chromedome/Rewind. Plus Tailgate in particular got insufferable after the gay power-up. Megatron and his redemption was the only thing I was able to get invested in later on in the comics. It sucks when good shit with loads of potential is put into the hands of a shitty writer.
>>
>>93514784
He was pretty fond of him. He did some kind of betrayal or refusal to follow orders. Lockdown got hired to bring him in rather than kill him. If he had more of a head for command or strategy rather than combat he might have had to contend with Starscream for a lieutenant position.

Megatron stationed him with Turmoil for some period of time for a long mission because he had great faith in his abilities or something, but he fucking hated Turmoil so much he kicked the shit out of him and ran away.
Megatron tried to get him to come back by sending Deadlock, but Deadlock fucked up and pushed him further into the Circle of Light.

So really, Megatron was probably far nicer to Drift than the rest of his subordinates.
>>
>>93516553
Thats what i was getting at. Any other Decepticon would get reported to the DJD or the DSS. Any other Decepticon would have got the shit beat out of them by Megatron personally. Drift was "come home and we'll talk this out" and we've not seen him do anything like that for someone else.

New cover art for Vol 2 trade is up on Amazon. Not sure if this one's been posted, but it does raise questions about where they're going with that dropped-hard Skids/Nautica romance that went nowhere. Might be a variant for 8 or 9, but it isn't one that I've seen. Could be for #11 or 12 given that those are included in the trade.

Also Nautica's face looks weird on this cover, like it got squished together.

No? We saw exactly what was going on- Nautica though of everyone as friends and Skids wanted something more, that was it. The cover implies the same.
>>
>>93518711
There was a panel somewhere recently where it was implied she regretted something to do with her behaviour previous to his death. And we were led on to believe they could have started a romance before the fake progressive that is Roberts introduced the idea that the Transformers have a literal Friendzone.
I think the subtext is that she did have some feelings for him but dismissed them or ran away from them into "we're all just friends".

I for one always though cygate was odd because I could have swore they would make them a master/student kind of ship, rather than romantic. So that always kinda rubbed me the wrong way. I always supposed cywhirl for being two very old cranky warrior bros who would rather punch each other than hold hands. They're both messed up on the inside and being together kinda makes two crappy be one kinda good one. I always liked how they would both risk their lives for someone else, even though they come off as wouldn't. Cyclones, who followed crazy ass Glavatron for a four million years, would be drawn more to Whirl I thought. Not baby Tailgate. Oh well.

But watching the fangirls on tumblr right flame war each other over the ships is very entertaining.

The four-issue Ironhide miniseries with him, Alpha Trion (being uncharacteristically an ass), and Sunstreak(?) indicates that the memories ultimately go from the brain module to the spark. Ironhide is returned with the memories of who he was just after the war with the Decepticons started, because he took an injury to the connection between the brain and the spark that prevented his memories from being permanently backed up.

Wtf why didn't anyone on Rodimus's team tell Tailgate to not stay on a planet? They not only did they lose a crew member, but also their powerhouse, and just a good friend who helped them save the universe twice over now. Does Rodimus and Magnus really not give a shit and just waved him off?
>>
>>93521084
Tailgate chose to stay behind.
>>
>>93508673
Does Drift's comment imply that Rodimus subconsciously agreed with what he told Utlar Mgsuna?
>>
>>93521121
And? Brainstorm wanted to stay behind the past too, and he didn't get what he wanted. I guess I'm just surprised they didn't show one panel of Rodimus saying at least goodbye.
>>
>>93521551
Dude the idea is they're not supposed to be leaving forever. They're going to get their ship then coming back to pick everyone up.

The space ship they left in could only hold 20 fucking people.

The Lost Light runs a crew of HUNDREDS.
>>
>>93522373

Um...yeah. But Getaway has the Lost Light. Why would Rodimus's team come back to Necroworld after they get it back?
>>
>>93522645
... To fucking pick up the rest of the crew.
>>
>>93522645
A sizable chunk of the crew is still stuck on necroworld, and EVERYONE on necroworld is stuck there, because they can't get off. The ship they left in can only hold 20, so they need to get a better ship, ideally the one that was stolen from them, and come back to rescue the stranded folks.
>>
>>93522766
>>93522735
>>93522645

I thought they said the 20 would get past the jamming, call Cybertron to pick the rest up, and the 20 would proceed to go after Getaway.
>>
>>93522952
On further consideration, I remember the call cybertron thing. You're right about that. Having said that, I see no reason they wouldn't come retrieve any crewmembers at the nearest opportunity. Assuming you have to oust all the mutineers, 20 people a ship that size does not run.

But that would make you right about them not arguing with Tailpipe leaving. He stayed voluntarily, and made it clear he was cutting ties. So he wasn't planning on coming back to the crew. I was assuming they'd have to at least run into him again, but you're right.

Ultra Magnus and Megatron as the two straight laced guys having to deal with the ship full of kooks and seeming to get along better for it was one of my favorite developments about the series once Megatron turned.

>And I think Autobot Megatron is the freshest thing to happen to the character in years and it should never end until Him and Prime Embrace like old beat up prize fighters and just go off into the sunset as enemies turned true friends.

So seeing this UM potentially being a dick to him is troubling.

>>93523927
Kaput said the isolation chamber is impenetrable.
>>
>>93524015
It's also a 180 on his character growth. He had a good balance. He accepted moral ambiguity while not performing it. And now it's just bullshit.
>>
>>93524202
>>93524015

He's obviously struggling with it. I feel like it's a little harder to judge expressions when the art isn't Milne-quality I honestly don't think it's outright bad, but it's just not right for the story.

Rodimus obviously picked up on UM's uncertainty and manipulated his old habits into being angry at Megatron just like him. The speech bubbles in >>93508649 show especially well how conflicted UM is(until he makes his decision). I'm sure this'll be revisited if they ever retrieve Megatron, and they'll probably reconcile.

>>
>>93526627
Anode has some bullshit ability to form or reform the living metal that forms transformer bodies, and she used a flower made from Lug's remains to basically regrow her.

This is basically the transformers analogue to Death of Superman, and really makes me uncomfortable with her continued presence.
>>
>>93526680
I want to say it was one of the yet-to-be-born ones from the hot spot the Dinobots were protecting.

Maybe that, combined with Slag's brain could revive him in a way. The unborn spark would be "impressionable" enough that it would take up the memories.

>>93526706
I've got been following LL, but would this basically allow Anode to effectively rebuild anyone on the planet using their flowers plus a protoform?
>>
>>93526497
Damn I hate how much I still like Getaway, even though he's a backstabber and a New Zealander.
>>
>>93526738
>I've got been following LL, but would this basically allow Anode to effectively rebuild anyone on the planet using their flowers plus a protoform?

It is fact she's not GOOD at it, Lug being a success was the exception more than the rule, but yeah, basicaly.
>>
>>93526738
>>93526706
She's a Blacksmith. Effectively a Cybertronian midwife. So you have a spark at the hotspot insulated in some type of fluid. In these hotspots are pieces of sentio metallico. Somehow the spark will bond to whatever piece of sentio metallico it likes near it and it provides a set of instructions for the spark on how to form the body.

So sometimes the spark needs a nudge. That's her job. If a spark doesn't want to be "born" then she coaxes it into it's Primus given form.

With Lug, they had a tiny sliver of spark energy in a flower on Necroworld. She had a piece of SM that had never been bonded. They channeled the sliver of Lug's spark into the SM and she shaped it.
>>
>>93526738
I looked it up. Mutated Sweeps spark, corpse of Slug, and Bludgeon lives. On a side not Flatline also lives. I was pleased with this since the Cons had so few medics to begin with.

>>
>>93526987
I'd say there are more who consider the cartoon as the "core". Both the cartoon and comic have their high points, but you have to go in knowing that a lot is influenced by the need to sell toys.
>>
>>93526987

Easily the cartoon. The Marvel and UK comics are little more than a footnote as far as the property is concerned.
>>
>>93526987
The cartoon is without a doubt more iconic, and when someone mentions G1 they're probably talking about that. The G1 Marvel comic has quite a following in the UK because their version has extra issues, though it has very 80s-style comic writing and storytelling. Both aren't really objectively 'good' but can be entertaining, and I think the comics have deeper lore, though I haven't read too much of them.

IDW's comics are also called IDW G1 and they're usually fairly good overall. There are both bad and fantastic issues and runs throughout, but that again varies depending on your taste.

IDW G1 is more accessible to a modern, adult audience, the G1 cartoon is silly but fun and certainly what most consider 'G1', and the Marvel G1 comics are interesting, but aren't particularly accessible.

Really it just depends on what you're looking for.
>>
>>93526987
It actually depends on where you live, if you are a US fan G1 but if you grew up in England(like I did) the fandom was for a very long time was more taken with the comics, so many British people who now work on the franchise site the comic as more influential.
>>
>>93527263
Ok. But the show was silly as hell. We're the comics really better than all stuff we got in the cartoon?
>>
>>93526987
Depends on your definition of core. I and a lot of others would say the G1 cartoon, but the work the Marvel staff put into the franchise is technically the foundation it started from.

I'm a little lost as to what the point of Cyclonus is at this point.

I mean, why was he on the Lost Light to begin with? Was there anything to him besides Tailgate?
>>
>>93528084
Same reasons as Rodimus, only he actually meant it: the current Cybertron wasn't HIS Cybertron, and the Knights could change that.
>>
>>93528082
>>93516426
>>93515856
TR Perceptor's a REALLY bad figure though, at least compared to the other figures in the line. Poor-quality plastic, can barely stand up, no waist swivel, oversized scope and can't use other titan masters correctly because of the scope hinge.
>>
>>93516094

I can live with the killing people. I'd prefer the people who died stayed dead or had deaths that weren't fake-outs (Rewind, Cyclonus, Lug). It cheapens the stakes. Really made it hard to get invested in the season 2 finale after the Cyclonus survival ass-pull and Rewind 2.0.
>>
>>93528098
He's pretty versatile in the different ways you can transform him though, and he's one of the few who can do an arms-behind-his back pose.

>>93527890

Autobot Megatron had the most amazing potential but Robert's Megatron the uwuevolutionary was just him jerking himself off and I hope to god that when we see Megtron again under a different writer he's a full blown Decepticon monster.
>>
>>93528084
A- His unconscious body was dragged onto the ship after he got into a fight with Whirl and got them both knocked out.
B- When he woke up he told Rodimus that he's not a Con and that the current Cybertron isn't the one he left before Galvatron
C- As Tailgate mentioned in this issue, he not only wants to find the Knights, but also Cybertipa
D- He's made allies and comrade with Whirl/Rewind/Rodimus/Even Magnus/Swerve and now is part of the crew. Which is why in this issue, as he had all intentions with staying with Tailgate, he wanted to discus the matter that they would be leaving their team behind if they stayed.

I'd say more of a Stalin or Lenin than Hitler. Fits more with the naive ideology of megatron's original ideas becoming warped by the reality of war and conflict and eventually corrupted into something awful.
Also the prisons were generally for autobots and traitors, thus more gulags than concentration camps.

Functionists are more supposed to represent facism than decepticons. Autobots I guess fit in somewhere since both sides happily perpetuated war crimes whilst both leaders were gaurly aware of it, though Optimus never partook.

In the initial Scavengers arc, he was actually the one who made me smile the most, and I wanted to see more of him.

The Reflectors also. Ever since 1984 I've wanted to see those three do something noteworthy and actually get a spotlight. They didn't deserve to be fodder for Wheelie of all people.

Ravage. Fucking Ravage.

I really enjoy MTMTE, but Ravage's death had nothing to do with Ravage and everything to do with Megatron. Everything with Ravage on the LL was about Megatron and not Ravage.

Oh, I forgot about Dominus. I don't so much carethat he died since he was basically a non-character in and of himself, but they way they resolved the "search" for him, considering his relationship to other characters, just felt lacking.

Are these comics worth reading? Saw The Last Knight and it was garbage. Want to cleanse myself with some actual quality Transformers media. Should I just start with Vol 1?
>>
>>93543142
That's not a bad place to start. The first 20 or so issues from that point onward are probably my personal favorite part of IDW.
>>
>>93543142

Overall IDW G1 is a very good series. It is "adult" in many ways, from robotic hyperviolence to some vague sense of moral greyness, while still sticking to "ultimately, Autobots are good and Decepticons are bad". If you love continuity and all the hints and teasers at long-running arcs, you will like this.

However, like all media it isn't perfect. Some transformers live when "logically" they would have died, many transformers die senseless deaths (which may be good or bad depending on your tastes and opinion on said bots), others are written out, a few can be obnoxious or very hateable, some are shilled, and others disappear for a long long while.

There is focus on human sidekicks for the first few arcs (not sure how far it extends), but they don't feel too annoying because the sidekicks are adults and not children, and more or less know they shouldn't get involved in fights.

Some plotlines come out of nowhere, there are some illogical developments, and forced conflict in a few ways.

Also the reading order is a goddamn pain, but if you just read the volumes it should be fine. Don't worry if you have to look stuff up on the wiki, it can help refresh your memory.

I mostly agree with this assessment.

Eventually you get to the point where you have the transformers in space and the transformers on earth. The latter are getting increasingly wrapped up in Hasbro's new shared universe thing, but it's not so bad. Best boys to watch out for in that line are Thundercracker and Cosmos, the latter is a little less prevalent but he's a dear.

>Like, what's he got now?

>>93543142

Yeah, I would definitely recommend The IDW Collections if you want to support the comic. Get'em off Amazon or something, they're cheap there for big-ass hardcover books. I own 6 volumes myself, going to get more of'em pretty soon. The IDW continuity itself is basically "modernized G1 for grownups". Only real downsides is they're REALLY fucking cheap with the deaths, 'bots die all the fucking time and most of them stay dead. So that tends to lose it's impact pretty fast as another few pages flow by and another 5-10 guys end up dead.

You'd think, but I think the problem is that they had to be ready much earlier than normal to be packed in with toys. Which means that they had to be drawn while the regular series was going.

Well, they didn't "take over", so much as the older stuff is just...Old. And it was definitely more toy focused back then for a longer time. The Marvel comics have hideous art and colors compared to todays comics, and the stories are...Alright. Some good, some bad.

The IDW stuff is a much more current take on everything, and while it's still....Toyetic? Might be the word here, it's nowhere near as hard on shilling toys. It's also definitely intended for an older audience. If you want a taste of the 80's comics, just go read the recent TF/GI Joe story by uh...Tom Scioli, was it? It's an excellent, 80's-esque comic filled with all kinds of trippy, goofy shit. Pic related.

Marvel, Dreamwave, and IDW do not connect. So all of IDW's stuff does not require reading stuff from previous publishers.

However, to be fair, the Volume 1 posted in >>93543142 is Volume 1 of "Phase 2" of IDW. There are 9 or so hardcover volumes before that. Phase 1 has it's highs and some very deep lows, but I personally went back to it after having started with Phase 2 personally. You can start in at Phase 2 without too much trouble. There was a huge event before it, and the war ended. Phase 2 picks up fresh and introduces 90% of what you need to know.

Incorrect, IDW's Regeneration One is an alternate ending to Marvel's US Transformers run.

Okay, that's true. I was only thinking of the "main" IDW continuity.

Also technically Regeneration One connected with anything that had a Hot Rod in it.
