Anyone else amused that this is the first place we've seen Drift's Earth mode on anything other than a cover? Though I still say if they wanted to do a kids book using either the Animated or Movie casts would have been the best bet (something hinted at by Bumblebee), I suspect the people buying this will be childless adults.

Nice introdump! "..."
Token "strong willed" courageous chick! (How come dudes are never described as "strong willed"?)
New G1 Autobots coming to Earth backstory!
What's not to love?
They parked their ship underwater but it is drawn crashed into the side of a volcano. Force of habit?
As far as Animated or the Movie making a better kid's book, I don't know. Animated may be good at keeping a kid's attention for a while, but I don't think it would be good at making lasting fans (25) years later. It just seems like it would become uncool after a certain age.

Eh? It doesn't have to last 25 years, the whole point of the book is to entertain primary school kids. Once they get to old for it, they'll move on. And if you were a 6 year old wouldn't you rather read about the Transformers in the cartoon/film you know rather than Drift?
But, if it's G1 it will stay in the kids mind forever and they will read a book aimed at six year olds until they die and the characters will never be replaced! Don't you understand thats why Unicron Trilogy and Robots in Disguise and Beast Wars toys aren't still being made?!inflatable dalek wrote:Eh?

Oh, Ratchet. You and you're dry sense of humour. Just like 1984 through 86.
Wait a minute...

Oh, they are keeping the concepts very black-and-white simple, dumbing them down for a very young audience. It's just like... IDW's creative direction in the last months :PPP
