Regeneration One - Geoff Senior cover!

SO GOOD. I may have to buy extra copies of the normal cover to get this, but I don't care!

I grew up with the Marvel UK- run of this. considered me SOLD! And oh, Josh- I is JELLY!

:3

^ I thought personally that the UK- Transformers design were unique in a nice way. Can't wait to buy these! :3

Absolutely fantastic. If I can't find the RI cover, I'll be damn sure to pick up the trade.

...as if I wasn't already planning to get the trade!

Agreed. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Its a pity TF comics have gone so wrong in the last year. First IDW's main series, now this. All Hail Megatron was great! Why cant we go back to that?!?

You're sure in minority on this one.

I think it means much to those of us who collected these back in the day. It reminds us of our roots in this franchise.

I for, one am happy to see this. It's the dynamic polar opposite of modern IDW and Bayformers, and that's nothing but epic win.

Except that the dark tone of this fits very much in with the current flavour of IDW comics, and Furman was the architect of IDW's G1 line. I would say that this is far from being the "polar opposite" of IDW. It's more like returning to the source of it all (being apocalyptic UK-style Transformers).

By today's standards, the art has a primitive quality to it (part of the appeal), but it's good to remember that this level of life and edge and stylistic expression was HUGE back in the day, when all we were seeing in the Marvel line was Frank Springer and Jose Delbo's mechanically cranked-out doldrums.

Geoff Senior's distinctive "ugly" style made Transformers feel like a REAL comic, not just a half-assed licensed kiddie property with bland, lifeless art.

I love the line work and colours!

Ah yes. By that point Optimus Prime has the reputation of being an Unkillable Autobot. Because he won't stay dead. Easy to Identify all the Decepticon Leaders by their weapons.

Woo! Bludgeon!
