TFARCHIVE FORUMS

I haven't picked up my copy yet but you guys arent gearing me up for it. In a form of meak defense maybe the middle issues will show up how everyone got to where they are? Kinda like the way Heroes did the "4 months ago/later" episodes or Lost showing events in a near future. Just on the p...

IMO, the title IDW really need to get right. 12 issues long, the main storyline for the next year, they really, REALLY cant afford to do a megatron:origins on this one.

I was pretty much going to respond to blackjack but denyer pretty much said all I was thinking. But then his post got me thinking... The decepticon strategy in All Hail Megatron is going to be a bit of a departure isnt it? Early on it looked like the decepticons would infiltrate a planet and turn it...

Both good points there. Seeing as how most of the space conversations are done face to face and in real time it would have to be a massive distance if wheelies message is taking time to get through, altough he does have limited tech. And the year thing is one I didnt notice at all. Timelines = confu...

Actually no. Prime gets image of wheelie just before the start of the devastation arc but that happens near the start of wheelies adventures. Seeing as at least a year passes by the time we get to the finish, the end of wheelie must be happening some months after the devastation arc (which, altough ...

A re-read of this has me thinking it might be set further in the future. This would allow the incidents of AHM to pass with the spybots fleeing earth in their ship and crashing on wheelies world (quintessa?) The wheelie issue covers a lot of ground going from the great war to when he crashes, anoher...

I'm guessing that the four parter will have the autobots battle with the DU bots and stop them achieving their plan of being able to function in the universe, altough not to the point that the DU is defeated (a recurring enemy there). Possibly Galvatron will betray nemisis at the end to take over hi...

This issue has a gotten a lot of (deserved praise) but I'd like to throw in a few moments that made me smile but havent been mentioned. 1) Sideswipes continuing putting down of every one of hounds actions is brilliantly done and has made sideswipes spotlight the one I really want to read. The "...

Yeah, this was a good one. It stands alone well but possibly leads into future plots. I liked the messed up arm idea (altough why are all the organic animals trying to eat him?). The conflict with the cons is brief but works. If reflector is in the AHM I'm confused how things are all linked. Maybe t...

I liked this a lot. The initial rampage with grimlock is great. The battle between him and scorponok is also decent. As said above theres not a lot of plt movement but I'd prefer that in some of the spotlights. Theres a good bit of insight into grimlocks mind. Scorponok comes off a lot better here t...

Thats an easy one. Wheeljack was buried under some wrecked cars by one of the streaker clones. Just so happened that Ironhide was in that pile.

What? You gotta better idea?

Its not bad as catch ups go but the cartoon series is under represented and the comments about too much dreamwave are bang on. The thing is, it never seems sure whether its detailing things as part of a history on a toyline that also had cartoons and comics or whether its detailing the history that ...

Cheers, must look back on that issue.

My only worry with this spotlight is that its going to feel slightly rushed. Judging by the first page, Grimlock is still inactive. Theres a lot of ground to cover if he is going to battle some decepticons. Also wondering have skywatch got the other dinobots? Looking back they only seem to have show...

Actually felt that this would have suited Punch/ Counterpunch a bit better (albeit, not with the grim apocolypse era ending). Also reminded me of the episode in Heroes where they are in the future and Sylar (main bad guy) has won. A touch of that kind of connection to the current story would have ma...

Clearly the next issue in the continuity will start with a panel showing Hardhead and Ironhide on the ark. Ironhide: "Thanks for saving me Hardhead. Man, that battle between us and the 4 stray reapers who didnt look like gimps and the 2 sunstreaker clones who actually stayed in robot mode to fi...

Whatever about the mistakes/ flaws in timelines and other plot problems, I've really really enjoyed IDWs series. A few mis-steps but its kept me buying the issues as soon as they come out which says something. And its fresh feeling too, unlike the on-going DW series that (thankfully) collapsed in on...

Re: small size of the secret service... in IDWs storyline it seems that altough powerful, both the autobot and decepticon armies arent exactly huge. Take for example the decepticon scouting parties on Nebulos and Earth. Theres only a few robots in each group. It would be possible that the secret ser...

Galvatron as pestilence makes more sense (loved the ric flair joke too). I would also share your concerns on the storyline going that way but I was only really going that way from a comment that Galvatron makes regarding an apocolypse.

Great issue. Theres much fun in the battle tween the decepticons and circus. Starscream in paricular has shined (both this issue and last). Regarding the low number of bot deaths, I get the feeling a transformer dying is a big thing (well, uness you're ramjet) Its been a long war and many of the bot...
