Huzzah! I didn't get any of the trial issues, but I do now have the first two 'proper' volumes, which appear to be starting to roll out now. Just had a skim through the Target:2006 book... Page 132 promises "Transformers US #21-22", but what follows is a full three issues, US#21 to 23. The...

And amazingly, that's not even the worst logical flaw in that particular episode!

Completely at a tangent now, but I just saw Cosmic Rust, randomly. The one where Perceptor has conveniently made an anti-rust spray ("corro-stop") right around the time that the Decepticons get a rusting disease. What luck. To be fair, it's a funny episode. Glaring error that I never notic...

I shall also be there.

Whether that's an incentive or disincentive for everyone else to attend is up for debate, though.

I signed up for the subscription but didn't receive any of the trial issues - guess I'm one of the unlucky ones who'll end up waiting for the full launch to get anything... sigh.

Looks can be deceiving. I had the first four and sold them all on pretty quickly. The tank one was ok but the rest were pretty ropey: unnecessarily fiddly, floppy and cheap-feeling. The wings on Leader-1's legs project below his feet, making it hard for him to stand. You only need to look at Cy-Kill...

It's "great" to see that EU citizens are treated as pawns by the UK government. When people are referred to in those terms you might as well be back a few fecades during the apartheid in Africa. I wonder how nice it'll be if all EU citizens just say f*ck off to the Tories and we take off ...

I really, really, *REALLY* think people should stop up and panicking about what *might* happen down the line because until Article 50 is invoked, nothing will change, and once Article 50 is invoked, there will be 2 years until a "Brexit" actually happens. And as there is currently no Prim...

No idea about Magus, but Sentinel Prime wasn't even a thing back in the 90s when Beast Wars happenned. Correct me if I'm wrong, but his backstory and personality comes from IDW, I think.

Babymetal 'Metal Resistance' (2016) I'm just not feeling this one as much as the debut. Maybe its that the novelty has worn off (probably) or that this has opened the floodgates for a legion of immitators (it has), this just isn't grabbing me so much. It is a good album, there's just not enough dev...

We are basically ****ed as a country whatever the outcome now I think. I dunno, I look around and see good people, in the main. Until the murder yesterday, I'd found the whole referendum stuff vaguely amusing (culminating in that bizarre face-off in the Thames). People who wouldn't ordinarily give ...

Two Megatrons is idiotic. Not just the "why build it as Megatron?" (which you could maaaaybe reach for "so he could rule as Megatron if Straxus had been assassinated) but why have his ****ing brain in there? I just assumed that some of Megatron's brain needed to be present so he coul...

It's not just Fall 'n' Rise that plays hell with Furman's US stuff, Time Wars is guilty of this as well (when Megs shows up the US books, everyone is like, OMG we thought you were dead, even though he was a very prominent character in Time Wars.) My own feeling is that Time Wars and Fall 'n' Rise we...

As I'm a sucker for Combiner War moulds (and having heard good things about them), I decided to pick up the Hot Rod and Powerglide upscaled KOs. I have to say, they are mighty good, quality-wise (Powerglide's legs even hold together in jet mode, and he has GUNS!). Joints are incredibly tight. On the...

Topic in danger of being sidetracked. Specific point being that Marvel themselves didn't actually start making movies until after the examples cited. :) I cited Avengers, Iron Man, GOTG, Ant-Man and Deadpool to make the original point, all I did was offer up X3 and FF2 as examples of Marvel-related...

Hmmm...difference being those are big budget films that are aiming for popular appeal... This really isn't the same. Well, I dunno. Both Marvel Pictures and IDW comics are both there to make money, not high art. Would we have gotten GOTG at all if Iron Man et al. hadn't been money-spinners? Establi...

I can't really chime in here with any great authority, as I'm only just really starting to get into the IDW stuff - I know a lot of you guys have stuck with it for ten years and are more emotionally invested in it than I am. One thing that put me off Marvel stuff is the constant hyperlinking to othe...

I actually just read this series in my attempt to get up to speed on all things IDW and, forgive me if this makes me look like a complete plank but... I kinda liked it. Drift himself was a problem - admittedly I didn't buy for one second the way he completely flipflopped from badass Decepticon kille...

Combiner Wars Magnaboss! Botcon Unit-3 and Tigatron, plus retail Ironhide, Prowl and Silverbolt with an official sticker set added.

Plus, Getaway uses the Chromedome mould; Blurr is a retooled Brainstorm. At least some of these 'hanger-ons' are just there to milk the moulds (think CW Alpha Bravo). I mean, we could potentially get a Fangry out of Weirdwolf (or maybe even Alpha Trion), Hot Rod could double as Arcee, Siren or Night...
