Greyley, I really don't think that's what's going on here. They can do Animated and they'd like to do Animated, but they have FOUR BOOKS about to be running concurrently. At least two of them have set endings though…just give them a little time.
And yes, the Furman project had enormous grassroots support from the word go. I was an early petition signer and I'm very passionate about this project. This grew up organically–let it happen, then when it's done with you'd certainly have my support behind more Animated.
I don't recall there being a massive fan petition to bring in Animated as a comic like there was for Furman to continue his Marvel run. I'd love an Animated comic, but don't blame IDW for giving the fans the other things we want.
They said that the sales of the new comics are way up over last year! Hell yeah. It's soooooo good to see the audience responding to an increase in quality. Keep buying MTMTE and RID!
And I'm thrilled that Sky-Byte will be in RID. Hopefully Barber can capture his personality right. He deserves to get some more screen time in something higher quality than his original cartoon.

"Animated (big cheer)". They knew there is a high demand and prefer to not release it. Great choice!
Yeah, it's funny that they stood there and bragged about 81 in front of the very audience that overwhelmingly voted for Animated instead. Obviously there are rights issues involved, but it was a dick move giving us hope that more Animated was possible when it almost certainly isn't.

They never said anything like that. They said nothing right now, but if we keep voicing our support in increases the chances. They have other stuff they're doing right now. They never once said they prefered not to do anything. Don't fabricate motives to demonise people who want this just as much as you.
They already have two ongoings and Autocracy, plus RG1 is coming up. Oversaturating the market with another TF title could end up being very bad. I'd prefer waiting until after RG1 is finished before a TF Animated ongoing starts.
IDW can do limited mini-series instead ongoing, like they did with Prime prequel comics or The Arrival. Actually they have two G1 ongoings, and G1 Autocracy and G1 Regeneration. In my opinion those comics competes with each other. Movieverse, Prime, Animated or even Classics reissues aren't a direct fight to G1 comics.
As I said before, I have all Animated released stuff. Have LSTOW, Prime and Classics. Have interest to buy RG1… but what I read about ongoing didn't makes me buy it, even as a test.
At least IDW feeds our hope to see Animated Comics sometime in the future.
That's good, now just wondering if it ties in with WFC & FOC or just similar.
I wonder what started the trend of replacing Sentinel with Zeta or making them the same with a different name?
It is in the same continuity as LSOTW and AHM yes (and the current RID and MTMTE and the stuff Furman started with Infiltration etc).
It is set in the distant past of Cybertron though.

I'd love a profile book that has EVERY character in the G1 conitnuity… G1 US/EU/JPN, G2, Ehobby, Botcon, and original characters.. We have yet to get a complete profile book..
seconded! an uber reference book would be too awesome an opportunity not to be made
Does anybody know if Autocracy is connected with any of the other comic's or continuities?
It just seems off from other things, granted I have only read LSOTW and AHM so far

"Animated (big cheer)". They knew there is a high demand and prefer to not release it. Great choice!
Here I have the two Allspark Almanacs, Bots Of Science, The Arrival (dead trees and digital) and the Animated "photo"-comics. Any doubt I will buy anything Animated released by IDW? And probably there is a lot of other people waiting for "Season 4" or continuing the story for Season 3.5…

And I am still waiting "Marvel G1" after #16 to be released in digital form (then I can buy it in ComiXology). Would be very better to read number 81 having the opportunity to read the other 80 before it!
Glad to hear Grimlock will be coming in MTMTE! I'm sure Roberts will be doing a terrific job on him! I like that they're putting together a bunch of the original post-movie crew – gonna be interesting to see the dynamic between a brash, probably insane Grimlock with the Lost Light.
Yeah man especially with Magnus and Fort Max onboard.

Also, dig how they're waiting until they have stable sales of the current comics before doing fan-wants. But saying that the fan-wants are int he pipeline.

Exactly, the news just makes MTMTE even more of a must read for me! The Lost Light's gonna be one big powder keg

No those comics do not relate to WFC/FOC.

YAY BOB!! I want more Bob and Sunstreaker. We've seen a lot of Sideswipe on the other end. I need to know what Sunstreaker is up to.

Can't wait for Sky-Byte and the Dinobots.
Also, dig how they're waiting until they have stable sales of the current comics before doing fan-wants. But saying that the fan-wants are int he pipeline.

Super happy that the Dinobots are coming back in the 2 new ongoings. Grimlock in MTMTE should be an interesting player on that ship.
