    Well Alex Irvine isn't doing the 3rd installment of this trilogy so that's promising.

    If the reviews are good I may grab the Kindle version.

    Kind of disappointing that so many books will revolve around an annoying cartoon that's set to discontinue soon.

    If it were IDW'veres then great but it's not so why is Barber even there..?

    Because Hasbro Publishing looks over the IDW books. And did you miss the part about the 30th Anniversary Collection that Barber and Sorenson are doing...?

    Meh, so far the only literature that seems interesting is the Retribution book but that's only if forget the flaws in the first two novels.

    The pop up book might be cool but only if it's G1 or stand alone. Not if it's Bayformer or TF Prime based.

    Highlights and a transcript now up at the link above. We'll be doing this for all the panels this weekend so if you miss the panel, we'll have the text right there afterwards for you.

    Yes, from the mouth of the creator himself, he's fitting as many in there as possible.

    Seemed like an awesome panel. I can't wait for Transformers Retribution! I've been waiting for a conclusion ever since I finished Exiles.
