I was on the verge too, but the two new series are soooooo much better than what we've read in the past.
Isn't Skids in the old G1 a Theoretician? I.e. that was his function? So now he'a crazy gun slinging dude?
Since his quest for returning the matrix and briefly merging with it, he is known as Rodimus. First called himself that way, later Optimus acknowledged him being grown out of Hot Rod and being Rodimus.
I wish they would release either Police Action or MTMTE #2 this week instead of trying to cram it all into next week.
Looks good. For those who gave up on IDW, you're really missing out with the new stuff. And both MTMTE and RID issue #1's have sold out and gone to 2nd printings! Excellent stuff, a good sign that more than just the hardcore fanbase picked these up!
I'd rather collect the IDW collections series, what with collecting the toys I don't have the werewithal to get the comics. They are boss though, but for me it's one or the other. Exception, the Infestion 2 mini-series. The cover of Prime duking it with Cthulhu really sucked me in. Can't wait till the 15th!
