Really? Here in the US, it's more of a problem than it was in the past, at least with Titans Return deluxes. Every walmart within a hour's drive's radius is overstocked with Blurr, Scourge, and Chromedome, and has been since December. Even the TRU, which had the Misfire wave last week, had that wav...

Oh good, my memory is still working.
So... is this thread the unnecessary sequel or awful reboot?

So I bought one of those new Trypticons today. Hefty bugger, and sturdily built too. A little too sturdy, it would seem... Mine is afflicted with the hip issue that several of those who got him early reported. The trouble is in the ratchets where the legs connect to the torso. Hasbro seems to have u...

I'm assuming Starscream has some sort of gimmick to explain his badness. I've seen it mentioned a few times, though all probably stemming from the same source, that Screamer is a combiner torso and the thus the badness. I didn't realize Jazz was a CW-style limb. That raises his stock slightly in my...

It's disappointing to see that. I'd been hoping for Trypticon as a SDCC exclusive

I think it's mentioned in issue 1. It's a spectralism thing, or whatever the name of Drift's religion is. It's an outward sign of grief and that he intends to kill Getaway.

Word I've seen going around is, I believe coming from a blog post or something by Scott, is that IDW gave her the choice between a relaunch/status-quo shake up or be cancelled and she opted for the latter. Reason I keep seeing is that a relaunch would muck up a variety of stories she'd planned as th...

I've built up a little heap of stuff over the recent weeks of unopened stuff that's lying around because I haven't the time to spend opening it all up nor the clear space to put it at the moment. Stuff like MP-36, the Chaos on Velocitron set, some various other Titan's Return stuff. And of course I ...

Are we way behind where we should be? This is a monthly title but it seems to keep dropping back and back every time. And when the hell is Milne coming back?He is coming back I hope or have IDW been utter dicks to him? Last I'd heard, Milne was doing the arc after the current 6-issue arc is over. N...

Maybe. It's possible he could have been offed in one of the recalls, or he went down trying to defend the Senate.

Been having some random thoughts about the interesting implications of the Functionist Universe being the result of a timeline where Megatron didn't come online. Nova/Nemesis Prime, the Darkness, D-Void and the rest of the Dead Universe crew should still be hanging out over in the Benzuli Expanse, p...

Definitely buying that Megatron. To me it nails it better than any of the other attempts. The transformation looks like it's going to be insane. It appears they've totally abandoned the traditional scheme for it. From the high-res scans of the magazine pages, it looks like the back of Megatron's hea...

I don't think there's anything indicating the Institute did anything to Red beyond getting him to steer Prowl and Tumbler towards finding that Momus was a closet-Con. Red joining Sentinel may not be due Institute tinkering. Or at least not changing his thoughts. I suspect Red turning is a result of...

I assume because at present it's not really tied into the main story, it's just the current 'big event' forcing it's way into MTMTE. To comment on various things: I doubt Sentinel's Pious reference was anything Institute related. Pious was a public figure back in Sentinel's time, and would have been...

Ooh, that seems to nail the animation model for robot mode a lot better than the other attempts I've seen. Hope this turns out to be serious
