    You said that. I didn't say that. I think it's stupid too. But to claim this cover spoils something that other covers have similarly done and still not spoiled their contents lends itself to people not needing to wig out over cover art. Certainly as far as IDW crossovers go, at least.

    Ok, let me save you some pain: unless you really get off on Action Man and the Micronauts, Revolution is a dull garbage fire.

    If nothing else, I'm looking forward to Alex Milne creating some SICK Unicron art!

    Who said anything about spoiling? Covers, the main covers, are supposed to be repersenative of the issue. A snapshot of whats inside.

    Like, for example, the covers featured here (and don’t get me started on the “retailer incentive”, that each month leads to someone on the boards asking when Megatron became a Decepticon again): ;) 

    (To be fair I am aware that you say “man cover”, but I would normally consider a “cover B” to have the same)

    Transformers: Lost Light #10 Cover B and Reatiler Incentive Cover

    Will be picking up a copy at FCBD. Hope to be dressed as OP, g1, paper box, poster board, etc. Hope I do not get heat stroke like I almost did when I went as Captain Rex in 2016. Ah, fandom.....

    It's weird to me that when you first started responding to my post, you didn't pay any attention to what I was posting about or in response to...

    The Hell is wrong with people liking things you don't like?

    I love how you bring up Action Man when his role in Revolution was super minimal. And his series was actually good, unlike MASK, which got far more focus.

    By that point it'll be the 3rd, 4th, or even 5th time Marvel goes back to that well ...

    As someone who actually does 'get off' on those things that I don't think were supposed to elicit a response, Revolution is still kind of dull, sinking past that by the end.

    I agree. I read all of the Hasbro stuff, and quite enjoy it for the most part. However, I found Revolution to be all over the place. I understand why so many people feel the way they do about the larger Hasbro-verse if Revolution is all they have to go off, but most of it’s actually quite good in my opinion.

    I quite liked some parts of revolution.
    I liked the Action Man, ROM, MASK and Micronauts stories.
    It's First Strike that is the worse offender to me.
    I find no joy in those Revolutionaries or GI Joe centric stories.

    Really? I felt the opposite. Revolution just had too much going on for my liking. First Strike told a much tighter story, which I found to be an improvement. Oh well, each to their own.

    I agree with your analysis.
    I think I liked what happened in the stories better. I didn't mind the composition.
    I liked Baron Karza and the background of the Micronauts story, I liked the background of the actiin Man story. Same with MASK.

    I'd have so much respect for IDW if they were ballsy enough to have Unicron eat Earth. Doubly so if they had him eat Earth AND Cybertron. Force them all to become nomads finding a suitable homeworld.

    You are the one who is wrong because it wasn't just enough to criticize the product, you tried to make someone feel like crap just for liking something.

    You can have whatever problems with something you want, but the fastest way to lose respect from people is to go out of your way to attack the fans just because they liked something you didn't like. Stop it.
