MTMTE Annual 2012 Preview

This.

This is the kind of Transformers book I've wanted for YEARS. Best it's been, IMO, since Marvel (for entirely different reasons). RID is good too, but MTMTE edges it out.

"Atomizer: Interior designer turned deadly assassin."

The Trailbreaker bio.

"Duly appointed enforcer of the Tyrest Accord. Laughingstock."

Whirl not realizing you can internalize thoughts.

The entire Magnus/smiling bit.

SO great.

So excited for Wednesday, one question though, does the annual have a cover B ?

Which means that Spark eater may still be alive to.

I don't usually complain about art that much but on some of this pages I am left scratching my head. I'm sure the overall story will make up for these slights.

Side Note: LOL at Tailgate still referring to Whirl as "Nutjob" and no one bothering to correct him.

Did no one else notice that Ultra Magnus referred to Atomizer way back in #1? Reading through the "As," "If he's who I THINK he is, never, EVER let him near a crossbow."

Regular artists are rarely used for annuals so that they can actually have time to do other issues.

Also they couldn't use Roche, as he's apparently busy with other stuff. (including something TF-related that's reported to be coming out around early 2013).

In anycase oh god if this event makes Ultra Magnus have a premanent 24-7 grumpy-frown for now on I will scream like a little girl!

Years? Try this is the Transformers i wanted to see my whole life! To me MTMTE is the pinacle of Transformers fiction!

We'll tackle The Appendix first: The Tyrest Accord.

Hey, I remember that being mentioned in an interview not too long ago. I really, really hope that it's "Legacy of Rust."

Oh man, this is looking great, can't wait for Wednesday.
While it would've been nice to have Roche or Milne on the art I can live with this, I don't dislike it by any means.

So much goodness in just the preview; Whirl being Whirl. Magnus' forced smile and subsequent teasing, and that scowl! Magnus vision! "Oh, hi Ore. Don't mind me. Uh, sorry that you're dead"

First thing I thought when I saw him was "hey, it's crossbow guy!", Magnus vision is so good, I love that everyone he encounters is a "potential troublemaker" haha.

Yeah I like IDW's Magnus better than G1. Not that they're really all that different. For the sake of the Ongoing story, his stern no nonsense attitude offsets Rodimus's wild reckless nature.

I see it mostly as "smart humor" The fact that some don't get it or don't like it holds irony in itself.

Love the art
