...and the bit below, might be worth a skim.

Hasbro don't make 'em like they used to. Thanks to aricosaur!

I'd recommend Aspects of Evil and Way of the Warrior in particular - Race with the Devil, The Survivors, Carnivac vs MAS3 and Rodimus's bad future are the highlights of the B+W run.

ppl who complain abt furmans skills (at least of his past work, i'm not ready to vouch for him now) should read this books. his snappy pace and constrainted creativity really excels in this short story format. ignoring the details/continuity inconsistencies of course.

he may be a hack, but an entertaining one.

FYI to those interested, Amazon.com has a really good deal going for the digest reprints. Perchance to Dream is still listed as a pre-order, but the other four (Aspects of Evil, Way of the Warrior, Fallen Star, Earthforce*) are all $7.95 each, eligible for free shipping and are part of a "4 for 3" promotion...which translates to, you get all four for $24.85 shipped.


*Earthforce is inexplicably $1 more at $8.95, but whatever...you still get one free, dammit!

aspects and perchance arrived! yuss!

i just noticed some tales are not in sequence according to continuity. doh.

also, i suppose tales of the future TF conclude with alternative galvy in control of cybertron and autobots on earth with unicron still trapped inside the matrix

Grimlock's seen with his Pretender shell in issues # 59-65

In terms of which TPBs to buy it should be these 3
  1. Last Stand
  2. Primal Scream
  3. Matrix Quest

Primal Scream and Matrix Quest are the definites, Last Stand is where the "Return of Megatron" arc starts and possibly will have the appearance of the Classic Pretender shells
