    Announced at Wonder Con:
    “TransFormers ‘84” #0
    Simon Furman • Guido Guidi
    One Shot (?) in July

    Literally all I know. But I love this creative team and I love what the title suggests. I hope it’s more than a one shot and becomes a new series.

    Anyone else have any info on this?

    One-shot throback sounds fine, but after ReGeneration 1, I'm not sure Furman is up for an ongoing... But I will check it out for Guidis awesome art.

    Furman and Guido? Fuck yes.

    Hope to god this becomes an ongoing so I can just ignore IDW's increasingly sad attempt at a reboot. That art shown off is already gorgeous.

    I’m confident in Furman. He’s been gone long enough that hopefully mistakes have been learned from and he’s fresh and rested and ready to do well.

    Looks to be Marvel based judging from the coloration of the characters shown here. Hopefully it's a story set in between some of the earlier issues of the series, kinda like what some of the earliest Marvel UK stories were.

    Seems like it could be fun! At the very least I'll check it out when it comes out.

    This looks and sounds nice
    Guidi is one of those guys who can change his style depending on the need, so visually I believe this will be impressive. It might even change to look like the show, comic or something else from page to page if this is meant to homage TF as a whole in 84.

    Guess it just depends on what exactly it is. I'm there, regardless, but I dunno if I'm too excited.

    Apparently the Bleeding Cool article suggests it could spin-off into an ongoing series. Couldn't gather that when I read it but that can happen. Hope it does.

    Looks like another version of G1 (like Marvel comics vs the cartoon was). Hopefully, it will stick to the 84 cast for a few years before introducing later characters. It always did seem the 84 crew gets pushed aside pretty fast to introduce more and more characters. Autobots had 20+ characters initially. You can easily do a few years of stories with that many.

    Hell yes, I'm getting this series.

    Yeah! I love Simon's take on Grimlock! I can finally see a new on-going by my favorite Transformers writer! It says #0 so it'll most likely be an on-going, or a mini series.

    You can say that again.

    Fuckin' did a double-ass-take when I saw his credits on LSOTW back in the day. You know a guy is a versatile artist when he can keep up with Roche.

    I've got no trust and never were wow-ed by Furman, especially not after RG1. I'll get it for the art though, since I've got a lot of trust and like for Guidi's work.

    I’ll definitely be getting this. Though I’m generally curious as to what exactly this will entail. Is it classic Marvel continuity? A different take on that specific continuity?

    We shall see.

    But, I don’t feel it would be wise to have two similar styled comics in different continuities running at the same time...

    The art looks cool, and Furman is my favorite writer for Transformers. Hopefully we'll get a teaser or something for Free Comic Book Day.
