Transformers: More than Meets the Eye #38 three-page preview is up by way of iTunes.

Provided there isn't any further delays, the full issue is scheduled for a March 4th release.

----

Full previews for both titles are up @ Comics Continuum.

Tracks!

In prototype stage, mind, but not too shabby, not too shabby at all. The Stingray alt mode is looking quite sexy as well. And I here I thought Takara was going to stick with using the '84 cars for base molds

Protectobots! **** yeah! Hot Spot is probably the better looking of Combiner Wars Voyagers we've seen so far, I'd say. Can kinda, sorta see it working as an Onslaught, maybe by reworking it into a missile carrier or something. First Aid, Streetwise and Blades make great use of the molds they're base...

But isn't that exactly what we see when we get to 'subject not recognised?' Mmm, possibly. Though I do wonder, is that a result of the Functionalist timeline converging with the other, or was that the result of Brainstorm revising his plan? I kinda gathered he hadn't initially intended to go that f...

Got a moment to add a few more thoughts. Yeah, this storyline is just plain fun. Has all the adventure, and world-building, and... fun I've come to expect from the title. Nice touch with the reprinted pages from Chaos Theory . As well as with the new, previously off-panel bits that had been added. F...

As always, doing this on the fly. Just some super quick thoughts. --- Figured it'd be Megatron. In 'season 2', it's always about Megatron! By the time Roberts is done with him, we're going to know just about everything there is know about Megatron, huh? Think this is the first time we've seen the cr...

Transformer: More than Meets the Eye #37 preview is up @ Comics Continuum.

It's out tomorrow, folks!

Good stuff

Fit quite snugly with MTMTE-verse, don't they? Also agree that the Ratchet bit was spot on. That one's probably my favorite so far.

In other Masterpiece-related news, Takara's tweaking Exhaust's deco so as not to conflict with Marlboro's trademark.

Well, uh... it's shiny anyway. So hush

Takara likes making shiny Transformers, often unnecessarily so. For once I like it. Guess that's what I meant.

Re: MP-21G -- Usually not too crazy about chrome myself. Sans the Transmetals stuff, of course; those were fabulous. But this I kinda like. The gold is slightly dulled, so it's not as obnoxious per Takara's usual antics. Makes the mold just pop. The limbs might be molded in a different shade of blac...

I think the fact that dalek and I can spend so much time arguing over things is a sign of just how good the book can be. I mean, when was the last time any Transformers fiction inspired that much debate here? Can I just say how much I appreciate that. It warms my heart to see the MTMTE threads so l...

Windblade: Harmless, really. Story wise, however, nothing especially groundbreaking. A bit gimmicky too, but Windblade the character is likeable and goes someway to amending the blight that is Spotlight Arcee . Dark Cybertron: IDW put their main TF titles on hold for six months for the Dead Univers...

One thing I really liked about the phone conversation was how it worked either way- whether Megatron is genuinely reformed, still evil or somewhere in the middle there's a subtext to be found in his words that plays into it. Totally. I liked the ambiguity of that moment and, as you say, lends itsel...

Two minutes later: "Blow up that orbital platform!" Yeah, and they do that based on speculation. :lol: Other thoughts: You know, at this stage in the story, its difficult to gauge exactly what Rodimus and co. accomplished during their first time jump. For now it doesn't seem like much sin...

Some quick thoughts: "Fun" just about describes my feelings for this issue. Not as thought-provoking (or shocking) as the previous chapter, just fun. Not much in the way of explaining how all this time jumping/tracking business works; we just cut right to the chase. See, it was "magic...

Rest of the preview is up @ Tformers.

Yeah, 7/10 sounds about right. Not including the QC thing, which is sounding like an issue unique to my 'Buster, he's average.

He looks the part and I like the transformation scheme, but as you say, there's some design flaws in the legs that do diminish his playability and articulation.

Are the clown shoes and forearm-wheels as egregious in person as they seem in stock photos? They can be adjusted, I'm pleased to report. The joint they hang on allows you to pull them back. Doesn't effect 'Buster's balance either. Still a bit flat, though. As you alluded to, the main reason I want ...

Sort of speaking of Whirl; I was at Target the other day, looking for something for my co-worker (a lot of Transformers fans at my work, I've noticed), and picked me up a Roadbuster. The Whirl at my desk looked so lonely without his teammate, after all. He's alright, though I will agree that he's no...
