Matt Moylan talks Dreamwave

And so Matt Moylan returns.

Bleh.

Sadly.

Good for Moylan. He's been really busy with other projects for the past little while, and its good to see him come back and make time for lilformers.

Can he still call it "Lilformers"? Since the 100th issue he's been doing nothing but other franchises (I had no problem with it). And the fact it's been more than a year, How long does it take him to do a quick comic anyway isn't that how it all started anyway?

I love his comics! I hope we get some new Transformers comics soon!

Cool. Working in a place like Dreamweave is interesting to me. I am sure he has good stories to tell.

Whats wrong with him? I kinda liked his comics....

Perhaps he can use this opportunity to tell us how the new version of something sucks because it is not like the old version.

Dreamwave + Good stories = DOES NOT COMPUTE

I bet the first strip will be about Arcee being blue now.

And then he'll post it here and make condescending remarks towards those who don't like it.

Yep, and they are the ones we might hear about

Apparently, things like this are rage inducing.

o___O

Wow, the fandom need to chill out. Robots aren't serious biz. They are for fun. Like him or not, there is no need for people get their panties in pinch.

Sooo.

He's a G1 elitist? That sounds like a pretty good thing to rage about.

ya but i think after a while, they were like ALL movie hating ones. Though I do love the other ones quite a bit, especially with Seaspray and Aquaman

So, G1 Prime's high quasi suicidal mortality rate and Rodimus Prime's reduction to being a Judd Nelson celebrity device amounts to glowing praise?

He's not... funny. And really badly G1 elitist. I mean, it's one thing to like G1 better. Hell, we expect that. But... look at that comic. It didn't even make sense. It takes damn impressive fanboy goggles to call Animated poorly animated compared to G1.

But really, he's just not funny. It's kinda why I stopped reading Shortpacked! when it stopped being funny and became an author tract.

I do like the art, though. They're very cute and I'd consider using something by him as an avatar or something... I like his Ravage. Reminds me of RH Ravage, which is delightful.

They're not.

What happens is somebody dares to put out when something's unfunny and then he rages on them. Or he'll put a long, raging aside after one of his little unfunny comics.

The problem is with Moylan himself, not his comics. (though those aren't any good either)

I like his drawings. But I did notice he wasn't as friendly as other artists I met at Botcon. *shrugs*

I love his stuff, i cant get enough

wow, didn't know he was so rage induceing... Didn't execpt this much hate for somebody who has their own folder here on tfw.

though people really shouldn't take a parody cartoon of a child's toy that seriously.

Aw, shit. This guy? He's been gone so long, I had forgotten him. He's an unfunny prick to everyone and he enjoys it.

Can't we go back to him being a long, forgotten memory? Can't he go crawl back under his rock?

Superdeformers by Matt Nelson was funnier and better than Moylan's tiresome trash.

It also didn't reek of hatred for anything that wasn't G1.

Too bad Superdeformers has been gone a long, long time.

Again, it's not the comic itself, it's the artist and his abbrasive personality.

Word up!

You know, I used to hate when he'd make unfunny "jokes" at the GoBots' expense but I can't say I think much of the other one on page two either.

Ug Matt Moylan is back? The guy's a total hack.

Also he draws hands that look like mittens, bleh.

hahahahaha... best response in the thread...

i used to love lilformers, but then kinda forgot about it... guess it's time to go back and check it out again...

and if you don't like his "g1 above all" mentality, or whatever you want to call it, don't read it... i don't understand why people have such hatred all the time... i'm not a fan of Shortpacked, so i don't read it... no reason to wish death on all involved...

People are wishing death apon Matt Moylan?

Where?

I'm just surprised it lasted long enough for Matt to comment what with some of the previous remarks. One of the fastest ways to get locked out of some places is to say something negative about Shortpacked.

Yeah, big fan of this guy. The Bayverse nerdrage is just a bonus.

Matt Moylan talks Dreamwave - Transformers News - TFW2005

Actually, my favorite TF series is Beast Wars! Wish it could have gone more seasons instead of switching to Beast Machines(though BM does have a cool theme music).

Pity we don't have an official confirmation of Alex being at TFcon (though it's quite probably, I'd wager) - that way you could say that the real Pat Lee will be in attendance.

(Apologies to Alex, given that the Dreamwave crap was an eternity ago and he's since gone on to do lots of great stuff under his own name)

Big deal. I use the mittens cheat myself.

Hardly the only guy in the fandom trying to preach through comics. At least his are TF related.

Never really cared for Li'lformers, though I always find what went on at Dreamwave an interesting read. And I always forget what a god awful artist Pat Lee was. If anything else, reading the blog helped remind me of that fact.

I love behind the scenes stuff, so these Dreamwave related blog posts are nothing but welcomed.

More like BOXING GLOVES. Way for that guy to rip off homestar runner.

I said consummate V's! CONSUMMATE!

Am I the only one who actually liked the DW series? I mean seriously? I will never condone what Pat Lee did to his employees or the fandom. But I gotta say, for the short time DW was in existence, they produced the best TF comics past or present IMHO. IDW "All Hail Megatron" was the closest IDW ever come to getting back on track, but then their wonky new designs just set them back several years.

I've always liked the comics, but I don't read and know much about the Dreamwave/IDW comic book stuff so.....

But Matt Moylan will always have my thanks for drawing me an Energon Sharkticon at Botcon 2010.

I liked the Dreamwave stuff, but I don't think it holds a candle to the better parts of IDW, and the two new ongoings are blowing everything else out of the water. Being a comic book fan I view the different art styles as a positive, but I understand that most Transformers fans (who don't read other comics) don't really get it.

Welcome back to the interwebs!

Have a on the house.

I really don't mind the guy, but what bothers me most about him is that most of his Transformers strips have the Transformers looking depressed. However I can't remember much from him other than that one strip in which Daniel dies. THAT is enough to get some respect from me, so I wish you the best for the future.

Shouldn't this be 3rd party news? I don't recall Hasbro giving him a license.

Agreed 100%. Dreamwave raised the bar and set the standard that I still compare all TF comics & art to - and rarely does anything ever eclipse what DW did, least of all IDW.

I don't normally pay attention to which subforums the news goes in, but really?
The title on the front page is "Matt Moylan talks Dreamwave".
Dreamwave had a Hasbro license, and this is about a guy writing a blog discussing his time working there. I'm interested to hear more stories about Dreamwave craziness anytime.
Just because Matt also did his own comic that wasn't licensed (and hasn't been out in however long) doesn't negate that.


Despite all the Pat Lee bullshit, I did quite like the Dreamwave stuff. WWI was cool, and I was really enjoying the ongoing before it stopped going.

Good job pointing out the title on the front page. Now I'll point out the title on the thread.

Thanks, I guess! I like being told I did a good job!

The point is that a lot of people will be getting here from the front-page post, which has Dreamwave information, and that's not "third-party" news.

I was only prompted to comment on your post because I thought it was kinda funny you were just complaining about where the thread was located rather than anything in the actual thread. Sorry, but it just seemed like an unnecessary complaint. Even if the thread was just about Matt Moylan and what he's doing now, he did do official work at one point, so in my opinion that's a bit more of a grey area and still belongs in News. It's not like it was about third-party products.
If you really think this belongs in third party, where do you draw the line? If say Simon Furman does something interesting, but it's not specifically about Transformers, would it hurt if that was in news?
Why put it where people (who might otherwise be interested) are less likely to see it?
