I think Unicron is probably going to be showing up. In that story set in the distant future there's some reference to Wheelie being the first Autobot to see 'The Great Destroyer' or something like that, presumably a reference to whatever happened that drove him mad As it looks like that plot is fina...

I'm interested in what Aequitas was supposedly built to hide. I really hope that hint is followed up on soon Yeah, looks likely. There was also the Delphi reference (which may have been more about Maximus than the actual issues on Delphi). There's also the coffin reference (I'm guessing thats linked...

So just so I'm clear, Turmoil built a time machine. A TIME MACHINE. And rather than using it to, I don't know, go back and kill Prime back when he was still Orion Pax or any other number of ways he could have used it to help the Decepticons conquer the universe...he decides to just show up on Cybert...

I've got a theory about what the bloody hell Overlord is doing onboard that ship (Which was a genuine what the **** moment, but in a good way) that I thought I might as well share The Autobots all thought Overlord was back on Cybertron that was the official story...most likely concocted by Prowl who...

So how are we feeling about Prowl's actions here? Because right now it seems to be that he's not only gone out of his mind, he's also crossed the line once and for all. What he did to Ratbat I can understand, given that he was planning a violent attack on innocent Autobots and Neutrals and Prowl kil...

Gotta say I'm loving Starscream right now. This is the first interesting thing anyone's done with the guy in as long as I can remember and I'm liking how his motivations are being kept secret. We've got no idea if all his talk about regretting past actions and wanting to change is true, or if like P...

Mmm. I'd taken the 1984 bit to be a non-too-subtle dig at fandom for not shutting up about it. As a designation, is there anything it can be apart from a year? Maybe the giant bots with swords REALLY like the work of George Orwell? I think you're on to something there. 'Bomb disposal' sounds a bit ...

I found it interesting that Tailgate looked like he might recognise those giant 'bots with swords from the way he was looking at the one Skids smashed up so intently. He said he'd been off world as part of the "Primal Vanguard" on peace keeping missions (Knowing what we know about Nova Pri...

I'm fine with IDW trying to introduce some moral grey to the Autobot Decepticon war and all that because I think it makes for a more interesting story than Megatron just being a mental warmonger who decided to start a war for shits and giggles. But the problem is, apart from Megatron in the Chaos Th...

Damn it, this was near the perfect start. The art is fab, I think Roches finest stuff yet and Burchams colourings suit it so well. Very disappointing that Roche wont be available for the rest of the ongoing but hopefully Milne will be able to keep his recent form and produce some good work (the cov...

I would pick Stormbringer, Last Stand of the Wreckers, Escalation, Chaos Theory, Spotlight: Kup, Spotlight: Shockwave, Spotlight: Ultra Magnus, Spotlight: Ramjet and Spotlight: Hot Rod as the best of IDW's input so far with maybe an honourable mention for issue four and issue 13/15 of the ongoing by...

Pyro!

Bloody beautiful and such a breath of fresh air after the last few years of terrible Transformers comics. Just like Last Stand of the Wreckers this series takes a group of characters who are a mix of old favourites and guys who have never had any real personality before and instantly makes me fall i...

My current project (a fancy way of saying "digital piracy") has brought me around to "The Greatest Gift of All", which revolves around a piece of the Matrix Longtooth posted to Optimus for Christmas. We'll move on from Longtooth deciding to shift responsibility for his ill-gotte...

REWIND! I luff Rewind :clap: Cyclonus being there actually makes sense. His whole motivation, until they decided to make him Galvatron's henchman because that's what he was in the cartoon, is that he hates what the war has done to Cybertron, views the "Golden Age" of Cybertron as an examp...

Furman was on the book for much more than 2 years. Infiltration was seven years long for a start. Furman's run wasn't very good either it's true :( but I would argue his run was a bit better than Costa's. Furman's big problem was that he didn't seem to know how to actually tell a story anymore, set...

Mmmm, it gels so perfectly well with the Costa stuff that you could almost say that it has been planned from the beginning, but we all know that it hasn't. Every single character gets dialogue that is for the win. Quick recap from me... Optimus Prime is not a whiny emo bitch like in the Costa stori...

So just to recap When they needed someone to write their shiny new Transformers comic, IDW picked a bloke who doesn't understand the characters, doesn't like the characters, doesn't know how to WRITE the characters and thinks that all of the readers are a bit mental and would much rather be writing ...

Time for a diversion... The most frustrating part about Earthforce from a continuity point of view is the way it keeps chopping and changing; most of the stories could fit somewhere with a little imagination, but the overall plot keeps screwing it up. For example, "Breakaway" and even &qu...

- Inside Story/Frontline/End of the Road: Wait, why do they get Irwin to do this? Is there literally no-one else avaliable apart from a journalist none of them have met before? I always wondered about this, don't the Autobots already know a journalist who knows their the good guys? Joyce Meadows wa...
