IDW's Transformers (SPOILERS)

[ImprobableQuestion]

I just finished the new MtMtE. Is Megatron self-medicating? Also I hope we see some interaction between him and the DJD this season. That could be a really good story.

How do you guys think that spoilers:

Rodimus

end of spoilers got in the coffin? Was pretty shocked to see that. I'm assuming Megatron is involved.

Does anybody have an IDW tpb reading order? If all else fails I might get the hardcovers. Looks like they are printed in proper reading order already, like this one....

I have the IDW hardcover collections and they're indeed in correct reading order.

Gadzooks!

The latest issue of MTMTE (out this week) has left my trousers shattered in amazement.

Great, great read

[Overhazard]

I decided yesterday to buy the first 4 trades of MTMTE on comixology yesterday. I'll get the fifth one in print.

Enjoy them - I imagine they read great in trade form!

[LosrCompany]

MTMTE is one of the best comic series I have ever read. I can't even tell you what I could rank higher.

Oh they do. James Roberts called the book Justice League International (Giffen, Demettis, and Maguire version) as being written by Stephen Moffat. I really get that impression from it. I love the Bwa-ha-ha league Best $18.00 I ever spent.

[Talkie Toaster]

MTMTE is awesome. I hope we get to see the Decepticon Z-listers and Grimlock again soon though. I miss those guys.
RID is interesting too, good to see Thundercracker again and Prowl commanding the Constructicons is pretty cool.
Not sure about Wingblade yet, the only draw for me at this point is that it has Starscream in the cast.

Botcon info!

• Primacy will conclude the Cybertronian War trilogy begun with Autocracy and Monstrosity and will be a "true war story".
• Transformers: Punishment, a motion comic for the Madefire app, has Optimus hunting a killer after the Dark Cybertron event. The will be a print version.
• There will always be two on-goings and a miniseries. After the upcoming Drift: Empire of Stone mini will be Windblade Returns by Scott and Stone.
• More Spotlights are not planned. Nor are movie comics. A tie-in for the upcoming Robots in Disguise cartoon may be in the cards.
• No plans for Simon Furman.

SPOILERS RID #30

I just finished reading RID #30 and have got to say I love this book. I know being back on Earth is not popular with a lot of TF fans because what has been done in the past with Human sidekicks. But so far there are no sidekicks in this book. For those not reading this the Humans hate the Transformers and appear to be using the Decepticons to keep the Autobots off of Earth. I also think they're using the Decepticons to continue developing anti-Transformer tech. I think the Humans realize the Decepticons cannot be trusted and eventually will turn on them, so they're trying to get as much tech as possible to prepare for it. Also, If they are using Alpha Trion like we're being led to believe, the US Military are just as evil as the decepticons. Although maybe the word evil isn't fare. More like suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome after the first Decepticon attack on Earth. One thing I also find intriging is the relationship between Prowl & Optimus. There are times when Prowl is border line insubordinate and simply does what he wants. I'm wondering how long before Prime puts Prowl back in-line and when he does if Prowl will go along with it or form Devastator and remind Prime who is more powerful. I also love how Prowl runs the constructicons except for Scavenger who apparently is a spy or perhaps Prowl is using him as a double agent. I also really enjoy Thundercracker's character development and find it to be one of the more fasinating in this book. This book has lots great plot lines going on and really is a good read.

Man, I wish we could get video games based on the IDW comics instead of the movies.
