    I don't really think the leak is real, but is odd that bay is trying so hard to suggest what it might actually be.

    The ONLY IDW comics I used to collect after the Infiltration/Escalation/Devastation arc was the movie adaptations/prequels and spin offs. So I hope IDW will continue the movie arc. Be it one month after the worldwide big premiere I don't care. I just want to read what they make of the story. Be it a previous draft of the script or not.

    Wow, you're missing the best TF comics ever made, and possibly the best TF fiction as well.

    because people for some reason like blaming inanimate objects instead of people.

    Honestly I don't care that this won't happen.

    Oh... I never know Transformers by Michael Bay has story. What is the point keeping story secret?

    Michael Bay must be pretty pissed off at what happened with DOTM; where the entire movie plot got leaked because of a technical error by Amazon.

    Still, this doesn’t mean we won’t see Prequel Comics and Sequel Comics. IDW has the creative freedom for that I guess. Unless Bay decide even that would give away the plot, sadly.

    I’ve been a fan of IDW Movieverse ever since the prequel comic book for the 1st movie. I'd love to see Don Figueroa, Simon Furman, Alex Milne, Josh Perez, Andrew Griffith, John Barber and Priscilla Tramontano returning to the Transformers Movieverse Comic Books.

    Good. That was the worst leak I've ever seen, spoiling Sentinel's betrayal, killing Ironhide, and God knows what else with the DOTM adaptation..

    Though I hope we do get another Convergence-esque series by John Barber, to help explain and correct the inevitable plot holes that the films always come up with that are different from the comics (of course mostly due to drafts of the script, like The Fallen in his sarcophagus).

    And nothing of value was lost. Seriously, I never understood the point of those other than spoilering the movie before it comes out. *coughDOTMcough*

    I think the tv spots were more reveiling. Like the ones in REVENGE OF THE FALLEN..

    Sideways getting sliced in half for example..

    Wasn't it to help fill in plot holes and help the movie make sense?

    How do you fill plot holes of a movie that is not even released and you don't have the final script of it?

    By the way I see that many people here blame Amazon for the biggest spoiler leak of DOTM. I wouldn't call it that way. They were jut the first. When the comic adaptation was released it was the readers who spoiled the movie. Personally the movie was spoiled to me by a TFW2005 member who wrote the outcome of the Ironhide - Sentinel clash in his thread title. His post was removed later but it was too late.

    It's just become one of the traditions of these films for Micheal Bay to get all bent out of shape about any information about the films that doesn't come directly from him. It seems to be totally irrelevant if the information is true, false, or an early concept that was dropped from the film somehow it all seems like some weird threat to his total power over Transformers.

    I don't worry about a "spoiler" that happens in the opening sequence of a film. Youhave about 3 minutes of minor side plot "ruined". I don't think you would even know his name if it wasn't for the toy line or novelization. This could be like complaining that the trailer for Terminator gave away that one of the bikers was killed in the opening sequence when the Terminator arrives.

    I have heard whiners who complain about the TV guide telling them the episode title, bucase the title mentions a character name!

    Now if the Bay comment about a comic being nixed is true so it doesn't leak the plot, what does this mean for a novelization?

    Sideways's death wasn't too bad of a spoiler. He really wasn't hyped or anything. DotM's ads spoiling how both Starscream and Shockwave died, on the other hand...

    I was just thinking. Why not just release the noverlization/comic book adaptation like after the movie is released?

    I don't know why it couldn't be done?
