its a nice idea I'll give them that but I dunno I'm kinda lost on IDW these days I had to take a break (no moneyz) and now I look at them and I just don't feel a need to go back.
As far as I know, Michael Bay hasn't made Optimus Prime quit in the movies. Oh, right, I'm sorry. I forgot how you roll. You're so obsessed with Michael Bay, you bring him up in completely unrelated topics. My mistake. Carry on.
Primes have stepped down before. After Rodimus Prime had been leader for a few hundred years (not millions unlike some waster) the Autobots won the war. He stepped down and was going to pass the matrix to Springer, but one last Decepticon disguised as an Autobot started dissent saying it should go to a previous matrix bearer, Ultra Magnus. Many agreed and this then started an Autobot civil war. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Peace
kinda reminds me of how the started the DW ongoing, where they removed Prime from play for a while to focus on other Bots. (and i still think those 10-11 issues were about the best thing ever done in TF fiction)
Great way to do somethign DIFFERENT idw...This is why l haven't bought a single TF book from idw. It's more fun writing and drawing my own story.
Honestly, I'm kind of glad. It's about time we've stepped away from the whole "Prime must be the main character" idea. Let's hope IDW's got the balls to keep it up. And what would be even ballsier- and appeal to my tastes- would be if his replacement were female. I'd be a walking advertisement for IDW if they did that.
Prime stepped down to work on human-Autobot relations. I think it's completely in character and have no problem with it whatsoever. I kind of liked the issue so I'll give it a few more to see how everything starts playing out.
I hope this series tanks so we can get a real company that knows how to handle Tfs. Cause IDW sure doesn’t.
There's no pleasing everyone. I've been very happy with IDWs take on Transformers and long may it continue.
Neither, I want them to keep this for, let's say, 6 years- bare minimum. A "real company"? Are you proposing IDW is imaginary? Or are you one of those ignorant little basterds who knocks on indie stuff (comics, films, etc.).
Wonderful. I'm sure this will just make EVERYTHING right. Hell, Prime's retired... let's pack it in and call it a day, Decepticons! And as always, the stupid humans go after the ones that are actually on their side.... because they can't deal with the OTHER ONES!!!! A'ight, Rodimus, you're up next. And don't do something as stupid as THIS when you're in charge, okay?
Hey, I was just checking. I didn't want to have to unleash a steaming pile of verbal whoop-ass on you. What with your signing in and then making posts and signing back out. Think your a ninja, do ya? Well?!?!!? DOOO YAAAA?!?!!?!
I've read it now. Story is heading in an interesting direction, but I'm really not digging the art, especially after the beauty that was AHM, Kickback (I think that's who said it) was right about the faces. Still, looking forward to if Rodi gets to be in charge and BB and Wreckers minis.
