    No one is saying a writer has to write to fit a preview. And as you say the audience for a title is already there so of course the next argument is why have previews then? I don't have any issues with the first 5 pages or in the past at one point 7 pages being previewed.

    Going back to my example of regeneration 85 furman himself asked if the preview could start later as the first few pages gave away too much. Which it did.

    And you're tarring everyone with the same brush when you say standing around is what fans of idw2 want. All any of us want are good stories featuring our favorite cybertronians. Transformer comics have never pleased everyone not even mtmte or anything else.

    At this stage previews are just a formality, we have them because… formality?

    As for tarring people, I suppose I misspoke: what I mean is that at this stage, IDW2 is known to be a wordier title where robots argue with one another, so the audience for this book is gonna find bots arguing either as or more interesting than an action scene. Maybe, I dunno.


    let us know when you get an answer.

    This is like going to a university lecture/workshop and participating in that lessons discussion without having done any of the readings and just going off whatever you intuit as being relevant, and kinda adding nothing to the conversation. why are you participating in a discussion about something that you don’t even read for free and also dislike? I mean sure do what you want but you could also, I dunno, do your own work and check tfwiki if you’re unsure who is who and why is why.

    I really don't think that's the case.

    At all.

    It's good to get a mix of action and character/ world building. You shouldn't have all one or the other. That gets boring too.

    So despite not enjoying the comic so much that you quit reading it, you continued to waste your time by coming in to every new thread about it on a monthly basis to complain about it.

    Despite having no idea what the actual contents of the comics had been for *months?*

    That sounds miserable.

    Nah, best to just power through it.

    Like, they're trying to save face in hindsight, but all that happened was they were caught being sloppy.

    Even a cursory scan of the Wikis would have given them enough info to pretend they were paying attention to the series. But to criticize the Maximal/Predacon alliance because they think it came from nowhere in this issue sorta gives the game away.

    The criticism was never in good faith.

    I see it be fair there are people in movie topics do nothing complain about them don’t look at good things they have done for transformers community and fans all they do is say to bad they couldn’t look more g1 well car robots, armada , energon are not g1 people like those shows and toys humans are quite annoying those series.,

    I say let him complain there are bad comics out there but mostly I’m waiting for tpb buy beast wars series and shattered glass how many times can fans read auto bots vs deceptions all time Tyler rule universe and cybertron prime vs megaton does get old after while

    That's the same problem. I've even admitted that, in the pastm I would be a dick to Bay fans because I didn't like the movies. But then I realized that even if i didn't like the movies the Studio figs and other elements it brought to the toyline were awesome so I stopped caring about the movies and focused on the toys instead.

    Ah yes, when Noah led the slaves out of Egypt and used the Ark to cross the Red Sea even though God already split it for the group of slaves led by Moses to walk across.

    Everyone, stop mixing up your messianic parables, it's clearly trying to send "Rodimus leading the Autobots from Unicron to declare a new golden age" vibes. Honor our true, shared religious history.

    According to the wiki Jhiaxus first appeared in 2019, which would have been long before his Legacy toy was finalized. The Generations version was his most recent toy at that point.

    Ruckley has said before that many of the characters he used, like the core members of Team Stream, were chosen independently and without direct input from Hasbro. He just liked them in Cyberverse. Many of the characters he used fill narrative roles similar to those in earlier stories. Put simply, in the case of Jhiaxus, it's almost certainly coincidence rather than planning.

    *bites into first biscuit*

    "This tastes like shit."

    *continues eating biscuit*

    "I mean seriously this is terrible."

    *finishes seven more biscuits*

    "God those biscuits were the worst thing I've ever eaten. Can't wait for the next batch!"
