    Really looking forward to this. Digital purchase tomorrow, then the trade for certain.

    Just imagine how mind-blowing this comic would have been if it had started out like this years ago?

    I imagine publishers send out codes for or ftp links to digital versions of the book to media outlets ahead of the ship date; in order to generate buzz about the book.

    I'm glad to have a Transformers comic to be excited about again. I've already read the first issue and am looking forward to the second. Didn't know IDW had it in them when it comes to Transformers.

    Just got it, pretty amazing Issue. I love pretty much all of the characters, Swerve is just epic in every way.
    The writing is brilliant, lots of funny moments and the change from Nick to Alex was pretty seamless.

    comic book shop owners generally received the comics yesterday or monay- nothing to stop them from reading it and posting a review - they are just not allowed to sell them until Wednesday

    Took a bit for it to show up on their IPad ap. AWESOME though.

    Two issues have turned Swerve from a nobody to increadibly awesome. LOVE him. And his vehicle mode is SOOO cute.

    And never have I been so happy at a vicious death threat but boy does Whirl deserve it.

    Oh, so much coolness to talk about here but so little time to type right now.

    BRAVO.


    ZacWilliam, reclaiming the suffix aside, I'd go Crusaderbot first myself... :)

    Positive attitude Drift is pretty amazing too, I can wait to see if he keeps that attitude in the middle of a fight.

    Just finished reading it.

    Another fantastic issue. Can't say enough good things about it. Writing was great, art was great, etc.

    My favorite scene was Cyclonus hugging Whirl. That was absolutely brilliant. Also, I have a new favorite Transformer now: Swerve. Generations Swerve, please.

    I'm still not getting the "Shock and Ore" joke that's mentioned on wiki. Can someone explain that?

    It's a pun on "Shock and Awe"


    -ZacWilliam, helps if you have a British accent I think.

    I've always liked Skids, but at this rate he'll be my new favourite TF.
