Scrapper is 1 of 5 but Bonecrusher is 2 of 6 eh?

Yeah that's kinda where I'm at. On the fence and would prefer to wait, but waiting might not be an option (except waiting for a later gift set release or something). The overall aesthetic is closer to CW Devastator than I'd hoped. Long Haul will be the interesting one to see. Scrapper looks...

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a pretool for an eventual future (SS86?) Megatron.

Transformers #13 out today.

Transformers #12 came out last week (9/11), surprised to not see any comments here yet especially since it wraps up the second arc. My thoughts: On re-read I did like it more than the first read, but I still do have some reservations.

Thanks. I was kinda wondering if the chest was supposed to be gunmetal but was looking at the other toys and concluded it was bronze (not taking the time to think that they might well be based off the same misconception). Weirdly it does sorta look a bit bronze to me still in some of those...

Was cautiously optimistic for G2 Breakdown even though I'm not a fan of the mold (especially how annoying the spoiler is in robot mode) but the end result looks pretty disappointing - dark purple instead of magenta-pink, silver robot mode chest instead of bronze, green is a bit too minty. Ah...

Damn I didn't know this existed, now I'm sad I missed it - like you say, a full collection of all the Universe profiles in one place is super handy. Something to hunt for I suppose.

Thirteen: Yeah, tough vote since most of them are kinda nothings. Vector Prime and Alpha Trion are cool since they've actually shown up and done stuff before. The G2er in me was tempted for Liege Maximo but I know they just think of him as Loki now because of his horns. In the end I went for...

Looking at the sales figures on ICv2 (so can only see top 50; number in parentheses is overall rank in units sold among all single issues that month, spoilered for space): So yeah, TF is easily their top seller (frequently in the top 5 of all comics period), the GIJOE stuff is doing pretty...

Time to bring it home! #5: The Transformers #78 - "A Savage Circle" Andrew Wildman I adore the shattered mirror design here, reflective of Galvatron's disintegrating sanity as he confronts his past self. The effect even extends to the title logo (and bonus lower left box) which is cool...

Not really surprising, most of the stuff he's done is only like 5-8 issues; I think Extremity is his longest at 12. So his Transformers run will have been twice as long as anything else he's ever done. The real interesting part is gonna be seeing what Skybound does after he leaves. Continue as...

Wow that's crazy. I had always just thought of it as cracked glass (from his fall) but I totally see the face!

Into the top 10... #10: Transformers: Generation 2 #5 - "The Power and the Glory" Derek Yaniger Yeah, it's spoilery as hell, but a victorious Megatron gleefully holding the skull of his vanquished enemy, torn oily cables and smoking bullet holes and all, is pretty much peak G2 (with one...

#15: Transformers: Generation 2 #10 - "Total War!" Derek Yaniger A nice eye-catching close-up making good use of Yaniger's style and detail, and an effective motif with the model Earth being crushed. I also really like the use of the word bubble (G2-style colored shapes included!) as the text...

Oh definitely; it's not meant as a negative against the word bubble, just a positive for how nicely things were composed.

#20: The Transformers #60: "Yesterday's Heroes!" José Delbo, Danny Bulanadi Our final Delbo cover! I like to rag on his work, but credit where credit's due, this one is a banger - samurai Bludgeon descending upon the Autobots from above is a great concept, and the choice of angle here is a...

Yeah, toy-wise I think my ideal way to do Pretender updates would be "brute mode" types where the shells are instead additional armor in robot mode and trailer/accessory pieces in vehicle mode. Thinking guys like Energon Landmine or the PotP Leaders. I think this could work pretty well for the...

#25: The Transformers #23 - "Decepticon Graffiti!" Herb Trimpe An instantly-recognizable American landmark, defaced with graffiti (with some backwards letters, because the hooligans aren't too bright) - this cover instantly tells you everything you need to know about Runabout and Runamuck...

So Deluxe arms, Voyager legs, and torso bots of unknown size. Could both be Voyagers + the extra parts, or Long Haul might be bigger. I wonder if the two legs are Voyagers because they'll include extra leg parts (I'm hoping Long Haul won't have to take on so much extra mass this time around like...
