    Or maybe humans become the Go-bots.
    Because they used to be cyborgs.
    That doesn't seem to be the case here... Yet.
    Pity Scooter is in it.
    That's the one design from the toon I never could stand.

    I meant, that it could look just a little bit better, even with minor touch ups. Just by removing the faux-vintage look and adding some small after effects, the comic could possibly look better?

    Mind you, Leader-1 gunning-down people? Nope.

    I'm really curious where Scioli is going with this.

    Guessing the Renegades come about as a group of Go-Bots that want to no longer be slaves.

    Compare the original G1 TF comic (complete with ACTUAL aging) and the "retro" Gobots comic (with faux aging). Compare the two "origin" stories in each.

    Which is better? Which has clearer visuals? Which one would make you want to read more?

    Neither. Neither.
    The first one. It hasn't got Scooter in it.

    Can we not live in a world where both exist?

    And given the Gobots one was never meant to be more than a limited series, it's not like it's taking the place of something else.

    Have no real interest despite owning a few gobots back in the day....

    Is this to tie us over until the new continuity
    ?

    If so I'll read my marvel comics until then. But happy for those looking forward to it.

    Some are human looking and some look like classic gobots and rock lords.

    It would be great where both exist, especially if both were good. Alas, this is not the case.

    I read the original Transformers #1 when it was new after seeing the TV commercial for it and reading the preview in Marvel Age. I know vapid people think that they get to sit at the cool table if they rip on anything older than last Tuesday, but Mantlo, Springer and Budiansky did their jobs and made lifelong fans out of lots of kids. Like me. It also was selling around 300-400k a month for four or five years of its run. A major superhero has to be killed off or brought back from the dead with 200 variant covers to hit that number in 2018. This was an above average seller in the mid 1980s. If the new stuff is so much better than these comics, why does they all sell so freaking bad in comparison?

    Arguably, the diminishing relevance of comics today and the increased competition for mindshare from other forms of entertainment.

    Or better yet, “I, Gobot”.

    Nope, that’s not Scooter in Machine Robo. Scooter had a real brief appearance in Machine Robo here:

    I'm reasonably sure that the latter wouldn't have actually seen the light of day in 80s Marvel/DC due to quality control so maybe this is an unfair comparison? (And I'm speaking as a dude who really liked TF vs Gi Joe)
