Well put!

 

Not to mention we now live in a Netflix/TV binge-watching culture. It's just a thing people can understand easily.

I dunno. Hardly a big deal, really! Same with the numbering. As a novelty it'd be neat to have it continue on but such is the comic book market. Maybe down the line they'll include the "real" numbering (or some clever comic artists might secretly stash the number on some covers? I know I would!) or like how Death of Optimus celebrated their 125th(?) issue.

The important thing is the story keeps on being told. Let's look at the bigger picture here  

 

 

Or Prime or Universe... Take your pick.
They really need to get more creative with their titles.

 

They could call it Transformers : I had your mum and she was crap issue #500.7 and it wouldn't matter to me as long as the content continues to be excellent!

 

Ugh, whoever the lackwit was who decided renumbering with a "NEW #1" should get fired....or fed to unicron...whichever is more painful

Yeah "I went there"...Does renumbering ever work? Does it ever gain more readers than it loses? it "might" work if you have characters as iconic as batman or Spider-man. But comics based on a toy line are already a niche market...can they really afford to upset the apple cart?

Let me put it this way, not sure if this was a decision by someone at IDW or hasbro...but whoever it was I wouldn't be surprised if they share DNA with the Fox executive that canceled Firefly

 

Luna-1? The moonquest! xD Aw. Gotta get my hands on the last issues. I am missing a lot! T-T

 

Now that would be awesome.  

 

Maybe Some people can see two steps ahead of "what they are telling us"

Maybe some people keep reading this kind of stuff below and read more comics then just transformers so maybe those people have a feel for the modern comics industry


Hard to say why some people might be concerned though

 

It's not a conspiracy, my dude.

 

I'll be very pleased if in 8 months to a year Hasbro isn't propping up its less popular lines with its more successful ones


Until then I'll enjoy the wrap up of our current idw storylines. I'll hope for the best. Sorry my faith in corporations is at a all time low. Cheers

 

This.

 

To be honest I can't blame you for being skeptical, I was initially as well. I've only been reading comics since 2012 and I'm already sick of "events". I don't mind crossovers that are otherwise self contained, but when it's specifically across multiple books that are essential to understanding what the hell's going on in the one(s) you actually give a shit about... eurgh.

It really seems like IDW are trying to avoid that kind of stuff though, and everyone involved has been going out of their way to assure readers that post-Revolution each book will go back to doing their own thing, and that current storylines aren't being abandoned, it'll all just take place in the same world.

I dunno, we'll see how it ends up, I'm cautiously optimistic about the whole thing, but I think maybe save the pitchforks for unless they really do fuck it up, haha.

 

Some people think they can predict the future, but I wouldn't bet on it.

 

I'm just curious to see if Fortress Maximus gets turned into a Titan City bot in the IDW continuity under Hasbro's direction.
He has never been a city sized bot in any Marvel or IDW comic.

 

Damnit now we have to wait for the ordering to reach 100 isssues when we were more than half way through...

 

Heres an hint dead titan bodies....

 

I really hope in the end things work out the way everyone of us fans want it to and Roberts and barber roll into new story archs that run another 60 issues with out imperial entanglements.

Unfortunately on the pecking order of what's likely.. As I get older and more cynical .. the probabilities.....the chances of things staying the same for much longer.... It's tough

What's next/new could be better. It will on some level be different as a certainty.


I'm suprised marvel or dc havnt snatched up Roberts
