    What if Prowl's actions and Prime's actions are part of some long planned out con job on the humans and Ironhide is actually in a C.R. chamber?

    Ah who am I kidding

    Remember, Pat Lee bankrupted TWO companies - DreamWave and then DreamEngine. And he wasn't even in charge of the second one.

    Well i'm done with IDW i've been on board Transformers comics since Marvel but a company has finally found a way to break my addiction to all things Transformers. Mark my words they'll be rebooting again by this time next year. Who would have thought that Don's art would be the straw that broke the camels back for me though, lol. :crazy:

    I dont understand how these people just cant be honest, much like how Don said his new style was not inspired by the movie. When it's obvious when everyone looks at it. From Devastator's vacuum mouth, Bumblebee's Autobot symbol on his head crest (which was moved) and Cliffjumper's horns are molded after movie BB and the list goes on.

    Just be up front with the decisions you make and people will tend to respect you more for being honest or hate you for making poor decisions. Either which way it's better than being hated as a lier.

    It seemed like they tried to write the book from a POV stand point in which they just should have done. Take a character like SOUNDWAVE have him on Astrotrain (where we last saw the Cons) and have it like hes gathering data on how the Decepticons lost the war. So that way your telling the story that needs to be told to set-up the ongoing series. New readers get the info they need and it keeps people like us from expecting this book to be something its not. And at the end there could've been like a montage of whatever else that happened (hinting at it) that may not have been important to the over all story.

    If it wasent for the TF fans at our comic shop having our book orders saved when the new shipment comes in. Our store wouldent get TF comics. The fact that they keep trying to make new jump on points and give the artist "creative freedom" changing the characters look every bluemoon is proof that IDW is doing well enough due to the popularity of the brand but not good enough to keep books on the shelves.

    No, no. I meant, Devastator with a vacuum mouth? Is this is issue #2?

    Looks to me like Devastator just has two rows of teeth, not a 'vacuum mouth' like the movie version...
