Movie-inspired gross designs. I love Don's artwork, but sorry. I'm out.

I don't get why they get Don to do the art, and then ask him to draw in this style (unless it was dons idea). His DW stuff was the best TF art ever. This is a little worse than the -ation series...which was weak. Too bad they didn't stick with AHM art, as it was solid in my opinion.

It was Don's idea. To put it simply: he was getting tired of drawing the characters the way that he had been, so decided to change it up a bit.

I'm cool with it. Go Don!

I like this design style on the bodies and the faces work well in posters and covers...but they just aren't effective at conveying proper emotion in a scene. Keep the Movie-style for the bodies, but switch back to the smoother faces and it would look a lot better.

That said, I won't be picking this up. IDW's management of the G1 TF comic franchise has been a complete mess and I'm not wasting any more money on their stuff. Hopefully, Hasbro will wise up and give the license to someone else soon.

I pre-ordered the 1st issue but seeing this is enough for me to leave it at that.

No amount of good storytelling will convince me to pay for this type of rendering. I don't like the G1-to-Bayformers quasi-transition, but then again I don't like Bayformers designs either. The faces are unbearable.

If you're gonna do G1 then do it G1 style.

DW's TF G1 ongoing they had started was superior imo, the art was superb and it felt like G1.

Godspeed

well, if there was a way for ironhide to die, it would be laying his life down for his friends, fellow soldiers, or the future prime.

i'd like toys in these designs, bumblebee no longer stares into your soul.
