Forget JFK, this conspiracy behind the mystery of the Solar Panel looks to be the real McCoy. Who Built it? Why was it put there? Shouldnt there have been a sign similar to the wet floor safety signs around it? Is it possible that Galvatron never stood behind Nemisis Prime in all their time in the d...

my bets for future developments: Spotlight blur will feature a solar pool in the background. It wont be explained but at various points in the comic robots will be hurled in, sometimes by other bots, sometimes just by off-screen forces. Grimlock will hurl Scorponok into a mysterious solar pool at th...

Ok, I cant say this is exactly what happens but I THINK... Jet fires end speech is coming after quite a few years. He talks of the machination empire (maximum dinobots), Megatrons full on assault (All Hail Megatron) and the return of Shockwave (an as-yet untitled series I assume). During this time g...

I'd guess that the dead universe characters and plot were seen as less mainstream as the Dinobots and the somewhat more regular (i.e. toy based) Scorponok and co. But yeah, this should at least have gotten the six issue arc. Spotlight Nemisis prime and Spotlight Jetfire would seem the most obvious 2...

Some good, some bad. Everythings so crammed together, I'm just left wondering how things were meant to be played out. Yeah, things were obviously speeded up but how much things changed from the original plan would be enlightening. Was sideswipe really meant to just beat down grindcore and straxus? B...

Yeah, I regret reading that 5 page preview. Like looking at your christmas presents before the big day. Plus now theres only 17 pages left! My initial feeling is that this wont be able to go out on a massive high but it could still be a decent enough ending. And the magnificance still bugs me. The w...

Thinking about the traitor arc, is it possible that megatrons bit of dialogue was more refrencing the failed exspansion plan of Nova Prime and that the decepticons maybe just took advantage of a overall weakened autobot force?

Just a thought like.

While all the criticism above is bang on, I finished this with a bit of optimism. The traitor in the autobot ranks could be a good idea... as long as it aint Mirage. The attacks on the other cities and Megatrons indicate of a galaxy wide stragety is heartening, indicating that this could be the big ...

Regarding the "where did furman go wrong?" idea, I have to point out (and not in furmans defence I must add) that all the problems with the comic that have irked should have been noted and fixed by the editor. Surely the editor could have seen that the pace for the scripts was a bit too sl...

For my money, stormbringer has been the past of IDWs arcs so far. And not because it was all robots (I am all for more humans provided they are not the usual "kids" that crop up in all forms of transformers media) Simply with stormbringer I felt we had a proper start, a middle and an end t...

Finally got this as my FP got in another batch (thanks for that link though, bookmarked in case of future problems) Overall I liked it. The art hits the odd rough patch (the big picture of thunderwing fighting the wreckers is particularly bad) but it works ok. The main problem I have is with some of...

Ravage would also appear to be the snarling mindless animal of the cartoon rather then the intelligent, speaking bot that appearred in spotlight:soundwave. You could say that being under human control has warped his mind but grimlock was ok so maybe not.

Thanks. They dont have Spotlight Kup but this will sort me with the Double Dealer issue (which is the one I really want)

Much Cheers :)

hmm... Thought this one had some nice touches, but when I think back to what has happened so far... it's still just megs and the boys rampaging about new york. The only glimmer of hope that this wont fall into DW completely is that it seems the cons are isolating manhattan - possibly theres an alien...

They cant kill prowl off. Didnt you see the first issue of All Hail Megatron? After all, IDW wouldnt just disregard all thats happened just to start a new series would they? :)

Revelations keeps on going good. Hard heads a good choice for this issue - simple personality that doesnt overcrowd everything else thats going on. The shooting of Nightbeat looked great, really well done on the execution (art that is...) The last bit is a touch rushed but no harm with that - the re...

I dont usually read the writers blogs or comments so as to avoid spoilers but if he's ignoring the ore 13 scenario... my willingnes to defend this title has slipt big time. The ore 13 would have explained completely how the decepticons got to be in a dominating (and out of character) situation. To n...

Ok, it's not great but in its defence... I'm just not seeing the continuity problems that others are. From the first page it shows itself to be part of the IDW storylines with the design of the bots. Also going from that page I'm willing to bet that at some point Prime and Megatron had a battle whic...
