    that’s all I see the other people do and when you call them out on it boy does that thin skin show because they can’t comprehend that others don’t share their opinions and don’t like it that you don’t share them.

    Oh yeah people complained a lot that sins wasnt what they’re wanted. They wanted it to be just like last stand and it wasn’t. It’s a very different story. I liked it a lot. Maybe even more then last stand but it was incredibly predictable. Folks figured out who was the mastermind by the three page preview of issue two and it was pretty easy to figure out springers origin. I think Nick was pretty surprised folks figured it out quick which was more a surpise then anything.

    still a good serious but it was polarizing because people just wanted the same thing again it wasn’t

    This is ridiculous. Happy smiling people is not what is expected of a Wreckers comic...
    ​Also how can there be Wreckers when  the civil  war barely even broke out yet...

    How can there be Grimlock and the Dinobots with Earth dinosaur modes when they haven't even been to Earth yet? I suppose either the various miniseries books take place later in the continuity, they aren't meant to be in continuity with the main book, or possibly it's concurrent with the main book's timeframe and this is what the Wreckers were like before the war in the IDW 2.0 continuity?

    Also there's too much focusing on the smiling. Just because everyone is smiling doesn't mean that they're really happy and that everything is all right. We need to wait and see.

    I'm pretty happy to see these specific characters get some love. Even if they get Rotorstorm'd and don't play a huge role.

    The art/colors definitely raises an eyebrow, but I'm open to seeing what type of series it is. The fact that the Wreckers have a cover identity makes me think that this brighter style is more in line with their cover and that more of the "classic" Wrecker stuff may still happen. Wreckers have been various things anyway. From the suicide squad of G1/IDW1, to the just 'tough bros' of Prime, or the three Nascar fans of DOTM. Ultimately, if it's a fun story, I don't really care if it works exactly the same as any other Wreckers prior.

    Nice to see my boi Hotshot get some love. To me, this looks like the writers and artists are making this look cutesy on purpose to lull us into a false sense of security them the head start rolling.
    My guess is because they don't know that.

    He probably will be, but I want to believe he'll make it, like kill off Richochet, no one cares about Richochet beyond the deco.
    This happens every single time a new piece of Transformers media is announced. Every. Single. Time.

    Hotshot, Minerva and Richochet.

    Same and I wouldn't put it past them. If he's going to die I want it to be meaningful other than just motivating the others.

    There was the War of the Threefold Spark in the past. Maybe the Wreckers were formed then and just didn't get disbanded afterwards.

    By far the best-looking thing in IDW 2.0 so far. (Admittedly the bar is rock-bottom.)

    I like the team insignia. Aileron looks great. And we're waaaaay overdue for a new Thunderclash, Hasbro.

    I\'m calling it now, only the females, big guy, and yellow guy in the left corner are going to live even though I only care about Hot Shot and Ricochet, the ones doomed to die.

    I'd love to see Hotshot reverse his way through bodies.
    CD -> Cybertron -> Energon -> Armada -> RID.

    While I intend on giving this a chance (like I do every TF comic) I'd probably be more 'excited' if the majority of IDW's offerings these days weren't such pants.

    I'll give it a go. kind of wish they'd call it something else, but maybe upon reading i'll be convinced it warrants the name.

    Wonder if this specific cast was chosen in advance of a few toys sneaking out. Circuit would be a fun get in a modern mold.

    I am more used to the darker and edgier Wreckers comics, so this will be unique and different judging by the art.
