What if they go with Roberts stupid fanfic idea?

 

We don't talk about Eugenesis.

 

headline should have been "IDW officially out of ideas."

 

G.I.Joe: Insecticide is the name of the upcoming miniseries.

 

RE: Army Ants

 

You complain about how badly written and terrible this annual is going to be before it's even been read let alone published. That doesn't sound like a glowing endorsement from someone who actually likes IDW's take on the characters.

And anyway, transposing human traits onto alien robots is also the entire basis for any and all Transformers fiction that has ever taken any steps beyond "Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons".

 

Wow, what a spoiler. Should I be looking forward to Unicron? In the past IDW would have let us guess if it is Unicron coming. Now they just straight out tell us. Where is the fun in that? That's like Marvel teasing who dies next. That's not how you make great comics.

 

Ah, there\'s the Ruined Forever.  I was wondering where I\'d be seeing some.

Anyways IDW has shown they aren\'t afraid to mix things up with characters and concepts.  So they may throw us for a loop with Unicron.

 

There not gonna retcon OP being the only real Prime after Nova just to make the event work. They'll either fix the Matrix or make a new one somehow and they won't make up a new thing to fight Unicron when they'll probably use the Talisman.

 

Not only that, but Transformers are in relationships now. They are less and less alien all the time.

 

Now?

It's always been a thing.  

 

Truuuuue... it's never really been a primary story focus, though. Kind of interesting if Hasbro starts bringing that aspect in; a lot of fanfic shows that there's something of a demand for it, but again that's mainly amongst the secondary adult demographic; the primary 'kid' demographic isn't really interested. However, over the past few decades, media writers have been getting better at writing multi-level stories, particularly ones where adult jokes and blink-and-you'll-miss-it references are added in to media which is, at least theoretically, aimed mostly at kids.

And let's face it; the Silverbolt/Blackarachnia foe-yay romance was one of the better bits of Beast Wars, and that was twenty years ago. I wouldn't mind seeing some more modern psuedo-romantic relationships turning up in Transformers fiction, particularly franchises which are less active war zones and more slice-of-life with opposing factions. It doesn't have to be a plot point or focus, but I think it'd work fairly well just from the perspective of character interaction. Especially if it was less snuggly and more snarky.

 

I think you're either giving the writers a little too much credit, or you're looking a bit too deeply into your comics writing....
