Yup, it is interesting to see... IDW certainly had its ups and downs. I'm just glad we got those ups to go with downs. Furman actually told an original story to begin things (that I wish hadn't been truncated with Revelation). Then we had the nadir, I feel, with All Hail Megatron's big miss, and...

I think it's because the plot will continue in both the ongoing and the mini simultaneously, not just the mini (as was the case for Escape). As for #39 itself, another decently solid issue. Seems Swindle has been conscripted, last of him as a neutral? I wonder if he'll hook up with the other...

I thought so too at first, but I had missed the announcement of War's End back in November (as posted by SHIELD Agent 47 above). Sounds like it's just dealing with the Exarchon plot, with "War's End" being a bit of a weird title (unless there's a ton of flashbacks to the end of that war maybe?)...

If it's co-captain Megatron at the end of the Lost Light's trip, I'd have to imagine he'd be trying to convince IDW2 Megatron that it's not worth it. Especially since what IDW2 Megatron is rebelling against isn't even outright oppression as it was for IDW1 Megatron, but ennui.

Ooof yeah. Buzzsaw was one of my favorite BW toys growing up precisely because of how much I liked his head design. Also not a fan of how much more animalistic this one is.

I greatly suspect Razorbeast isn't dead ("no body" rule and all) but wow, still a big surprise. Also losing Terrorsaur as well. A lot of the writing/art still isn't great, but the book has definitely improved greatly now that it's starting to deviate and do its own thing apart from the show's plot.

Week of 10/27: Transformers #36 - A fun ending to this story arc (I believe), with the Enigma serving as a Macguffin to have all the characters chase around (including lots of teleport shenanigans with Skywarp and Jumpstream, only for it to end up lost, at least for the moment. There's a small...

Things are still kinda bland, but this issue was probably the best yet. Lots of time getting into Skold's head, and it's starting to feel like we're diverging appreciably from the show with the introduction of Razorbeast. I still think Burnham is kinda missing the finer points of some of the...

Blaster looks dope; I haven't picked up any neo-versions of him so definitely hoping to be able to get him.

The final issue of Lost Light is a big coda that has some scenes shortly after the end of the main story, and then some way off in the future, so it does reference things that happen in Unicron and Optimus Prime (and arguably 'spoiled' some bits, because LL #25 was released before Unicron #6 and...

Might not get anything out of this line. Laser Prime looks nice, but not WOW nice, which is usually what is needed to drop the cash on a leader class toy. Between having the original G2 mold, and the RtS update, not sure I really need this one. If there's a nice redeco, Scourge or otherwise, I...

Week of 10/13: King Grimlock #3 - This continues to be rather meh. I like the idea of a "Conan" book with Grimlock, but the execution continues to be lacking. I can't say I get much out of seeing them go from fighting a swarm of brownish-red woodbots to fighting a swarm of reddish-brown...

Same here. I would've gone Dinobot or BW Megatron, but they're already in. Inferno narrowly edges out Rhinox for me. As for Kingdom, Cyclonus was an easy choice. I like a lot of the other toys too, but they all have at least one big drawback.

Week of 9/29: Shattered Glass #2 - I've always thought SG had potential as a concept, but outside of Shattered Expectations, never really took to it. I think it either needs to be played as fully over the top, tongue in cheek, or needs to be a really thoughtful look at what these characters...

Agreed. My guess was that it was meant as an 'explanation' for why he was skilled enough to take on all the Predacons pretty much by himself at first, but is just another guy (more or less) going forward. Which doesn't really felt like it needed explaining, nor does it seem to have any potential...

Transformers #35 - really great stuff. Getting into some full-on warfare here, with some really nice spread panels. Malkova's getting pretty good. Beast Wars # 8 - this, on the other hand, continues to be dull. There's some slight deviations from the cartoon, but not anything major. For...
