    I'm glad Furman is back writing Transformers.

    I'm less excited that it's a continuation of the Marvel G1. We had our Marvel-verse ending. It was called G2.

    I'd like Furman to write a completely different take on Transformers. I think that's what made his War Within and Armada/Energon stories more interesting.

    I think that cover's SPECTACULAR art wise.

    Loved Wildman back in the day and love him today when he's hitting on all cylinders. Very cool looking.

    And the original Marvel comic will always be the best Classic TF universe to me. Can not wait for this continuation!

    -ZacWilliam, hope the inside art is as cool as this cover.

    Wow the MtMtE solicit and cover almost gives me the shivers. That sounds amazing. And it features the full return of real Cons to the book.

    That RG1 cover is pretty awesome too. Best piece by Wildman I've seen on this series yet. VERY excited.

    -ZacWilliam, wondering if any of the five will be folks we know...

    Man IDW has been really hitting them out the park since the new ongoings. I wonder if the 5 Cons are new characters or existing ones. And Turmoil back from the dead? This outta be good. Looking forward to Regeneration! Maybe the 13 will s how up?

    Turmoil?!?

    Freaking. Awesome.

    Honestly, I would LOVE to see a toy of him. Heck - Hasbro could probably get away with a WFC Onslaught or Brawl redeco.

    Yeah; he was the guy tracking down Drift. Thus my guess.

    I wonder if they'll have anyone with more tracker-based altmodes in this group, like say Carnivac.

    Normally I would assume it from the get-go. Only reason I wonder is because that(very awesome) sigil-headed Con on the cover doesn't strike any memory bells.

    Carnivac crossed my mind as well. And we know Roberts is a Marvel UK fan.


    Am also wondering who they're hunting. Doesn't seem to be any likely suspects among the crew. Though there are a few unaccounted for big name Cons out there in IDW I imagine they'd want to speak to.


    -ZacWilliam, can think of 4 in particular they'd likely want a word with...

    Wait... why is Megatron's helmet gray? The Marvel Megatron has the distinction of being the G1 Megatron with the black helmet...



    EDIT: Then again... it's the same color as his fusion cannon... so maybe it's ok.

    They've said they're using the quirky old Marvel colors for all flashbacks, but using "corrected" colors for the modern story.


    -ZacWilliam, don't see why they didn't stick to the Marvel colors for the whole thing, but it has been 21 years, which is a lot of time "in story" for folks to change some.
