What if Hot Rod never interfered in the battle between Prime & Megatron?

It's 'Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost'.

Beyond that, all bets are off for me.

Sludge. My brother bought him for me.

About a year later I got Galvatron, Cyclonus & Scourge at a car boot sale for about 50p. My Autobots always got slaughtered after that. I mean, Sludge, Kup & Bumblebee aren't going to put up much of a fight, are they?

I remember the ending of the G1 comics story being really satisfying. God, got that wrong.

I also really enjoyed afterdeath when I was 7, and was terrified by Galvatron.

Dreamwave, required some credibility following its G1 series begins Transformers: War Within written by the returning Frank miller. Highlights include Orion Pax receiving the Matrix and exclaiming that he is 'the goddamn Prime' and Prime informing the Autobots that they must leave Cybertron because ...

It'd be cool if his speed was a result of another Jhiaxus experiment gone wrong. Predictable, but it'd make sense in continuity.

I can't help wishing that IDW could publish a 'showcase/omnibus' book of the UK stuff, starting at the beginning, working through. Yeah, much of it has been collected before but it's becoming hard to find again, and the Titan reprints were hardly comprehensive... I'm thinking the Judge Dredd case fi...

God yeah, I loved that one. Really made me feel the Transformers was in good hands. Professional, caring, fastidious hands.

Or not.

are we just talking Marvel US here? Cos Marvel UK's transformers was host to some weird & wonderful art from the 'wibbley' Dan Reed to the straight line awesomeness of Geoff Senior. Jose Delbo, on the otherhand couldn't touch them for either literal visualisation OR creative interpretations. G2,...

If I was dreaming? Something like the 2004 game, but with a campaign so you're not one Autobot vs. the world. A decent co-op mode and a sense of a WAR going on, with battles on various fronts, a Knights of the Old Republic style good/bad option, a large section of time spent on Cybertron and online ...

You mean like when Cyclonus was easily killed by a clapped out old drone in Megatron fancy dress? I always read it as the Real Megatron, bleeding into the Altered image storyline. At the very least, the drone was hardly clapped out and must at least have been comparable in stats to Megs or Shockwav...

Cyclonus. You only have to look at the situations where the Unicron Decepticons come into contact with pre-movie TFs to see the outcome. I'm thinking Time Wars or Target 2006 here...

I'd like the 2004 game but with more (preferably G1) characters. Other than that, I honestly think that game was as good as a Transformers game will ever get. That movie game? not good.

So hang on... Will I struggle with the main storyline beyond this if I skip it? (Can't really afford to buy it if it's gonna suck...)

God, this was marvellous, if for only one reason - if you look at the first 4 or five issues of infiltration - very slow, all about the build and the pay off, focussed on one or two storylines. This, on the other hand is classic Furman. All over the place, with several big ideas going on at once, an...

Just got this. I thought it was ok, but was a bit too similar to Kup in terms of setup, and not as intriguing in execution. Something that continues to impress me here is the art. If anything the IDW TF art style is moving closer to the Marvel run. I wonder if this is reactionary from the DW era, or...

Ebay rage!

I listed my Takara Transformers Collection Megatron yesterday, only to be told that you can't sell that on ebay as it's a replica firearm. Given that I didn't know this, but do need to sell this item due to a shortfall in funds this month, does anyone have a place I could sell this online? Or does a...
