*as in 'not at all
EDIT:

Still a little skeptical about the double splashpage-ish format, but so far, there's a lot more meat to it than what I was expecting.
Do like the inclusion of the Throttlebots. Goldbug, from what I can tell, doesn't seem to be Bumblebee reincarnated. That's neat.
One thing though, the battle Sixshot supposedly had in Revelation...when did that happen? Off panel?

I agree, it looks a lot better than the last 12 months of new creative direction (minus MD that I loved).zigzagger wrote: so far, there's a lot more meat to it than what I was expecting.
I think so. We just saw one panel, I believe: Sixshot was on the fourth moon of Buhl, defending one of the Nega-Nuclei. I suppose that the Autobot/Decepticon alliance attacked him too (as they did with Thunderwing and Monstructor), just the saga was so crammed that there was no space to show that specific battle.One thing though, the battle Sixshot supposedly had in Revelation...when did that happen?

It's a strange one for me, I'm fine with the Megatron/Galvatron separation but Goldbug not being Bumblebee seems odd somehow. i guess because Megs and Galvy are usually portrayed as distinct albeit linked characters but Goldbug is basically just Bumblebee with a new paint job.zigzagger wrote: Do like the inclusion of the Throttlebots.

Artwise it looks neat though.
Oh, look...Scrounge is at the research satellite. I guess that's cool.
Yeah, I figured that much. For some reason I thought they just went around Sixshot to get at the Nega-Core.MeGrimlock wrote:I suppose that the Autobot/Decepticon alliance attacked him too (as they did with Thunderwing and Monstructor), just the saga was so crammed that there was no space to show that specific battle.
I wonder if the 'Bee and 'Bug retcon (assuming they are separate characters, that is) has anything to do with the Bumblebee mini that was hinted at - err, umm, I can't seem to remember when. I could've sworn it was mentioned at some panel or other a few months back.inflatable dalek wrote:It's a strange one for me, I'm fine with the Megatron/Galvatron separation but Goldbug not being Bumblebee seems odd somehow. i guess because Megs and Galvy are usually portrayed as distinct albeit linked characters but Goldbug is basically just Bumblebee with a new paint job.

Zander Cannon said he was writing a BBee miniserie that was part of "a partial reboot".zigzagger wrote:I wonder if the separation between 'Bee and 'Bug has anything to do with the Bumblebee mini that was hinted at, err, umm, I don't remember when.

That was my assumption as well, I don't recall any on panel action as we had with Monstructor. Though there's nothing to say there wasn't a off screen fight I suppose. Mind, Searchlight wouldn't have been there, it wouldn't have been enough Transformers to count as a army and they'd have won. But he might be hyperbolising.zigzagger wrote:Yeah, I figured that much.

Or it's another "retcon", albeit a very minor one if compared to last year of butchery.

Despite all IDW's plot pacing problems, they had until recently (with Omegra Spreem) avoided the Dreamwave technique of "huge robo shows up out of nowhere to save the day" (or alternately kill us all) that seemed to happen every other issue they produced. I hope this issue ends up with more than just another "Gasp! What are we gonna do?" "Don't worry little robos, I'm a big robo come to save the day!" type story.
