Same here, the robot mode looks great and that's the biggest bit in favor for me. I was never happy with the T30 one, and skipped TR, so I'll likely get this one. But yeah, those vehicle modes... the tank having the random cockpit sticking out is so weird it feels like it must be a...

Brawl Blitzwing Bludgeon Guzzle Quake Hardhead (sorta) half of Flywheels half of Overlord Treadshot when he's not an Action Master Tankor Strika Demolishor Shockwave (sometimes) And those are just the prominent guys off the top of my head, there's plenty more Mini-Cons or Micromasters, or guys...

Oh wow, that's a bit sooner than expected. I thought they'd go until near the end of the year. I fear we will almost certainly not get anything approaching a satisfying ending. Some interesting choices for those 2020 G2 covers. A guy whose only memorable moment is getting slagged, and a guy...

Like Sabrblade and Donocropolis, I'm not really a GIJoe fan at all except where there's been some overlap with Transformers. That said, a HISS tank is a pretty iconic and unique vehicle mode, so I was interested to see how this would turn out. But doing a generic looking Megatron wearing HISS...

No interest in these, but I must admit there's a lot of good little details, like the hairstyles echoing the helmet designs, or Prime's wheeled "trailer" suitcase.

I had held off on Leader Grimlock and Slug because I wasn't convinced we were going to get all five Leader Dinobots, but now I'm thinking we actually might? Though it is possible they're doing the "first three" that were introduced in the cartoon, and Snarl and Swoop didn't come until a bit...

I'd say not really, the premise was intriguing but the execution has been lacking. A story that's basically just Grimlock fighting a new opponent every issue really needs to be carried by the art, and the art is kinda confusing/scratchy (the cover art is much cooler as ZC says).

No need/desire for the black Diaclone Ironhide, but I do love the red face/black helmet combo. Starting to get a bit tempted by that Laser Rod Optimus though...

Yup, it is interesting to see... IDW certainly had its ups and downs. I'm just glad we got those ups to go with downs. Furman actually told an original story to begin things (that I wish hadn't been truncated with Revelation). Then we had the nadir, I feel, with All Hail Megatron's big miss, and...

I think it's because the plot will continue in both the ongoing and the mini simultaneously, not just the mini (as was the case for Escape). As for #39 itself, another decently solid issue. Seems Swindle has been conscripted, last of him as a neutral? I wonder if he'll hook up with the other...

I thought so too at first, but I had missed the announcement of War's End back in November (as posted by SHIELD Agent 47 above). Sounds like it's just dealing with the Exarchon plot, with "War's End" being a bit of a weird title (unless there's a ton of flashbacks to the end of that war maybe?)...

If it's co-captain Megatron at the end of the Lost Light's trip, I'd have to imagine he'd be trying to convince IDW2 Megatron that it's not worth it. Especially since what IDW2 Megatron is rebelling against isn't even outright oppression as it was for IDW1 Megatron, but ennui.

Ooof yeah. Buzzsaw was one of my favorite BW toys growing up precisely because of how much I liked his head design. Also not a fan of how much more animalistic this one is.

I greatly suspect Razorbeast isn't dead ("no body" rule and all) but wow, still a big surprise. Also losing Terrorsaur as well. A lot of the writing/art still isn't great, but the book has definitely improved greatly now that it's starting to deviate and do its own thing apart from the show's plot.

Week of 10/27: Transformers #36 - A fun ending to this story arc (I believe), with the Enigma serving as a Macguffin to have all the characters chase around (including lots of teleport shenanigans with Skywarp and Jumpstream, only for it to end up lost, at least for the moment. There's a small...

Things are still kinda bland, but this issue was probably the best yet. Lots of time getting into Skold's head, and it's starting to feel like we're diverging appreciably from the show with the introduction of Razorbeast. I still think Burnham is kinda missing the finer points of some of the...

Blaster looks dope; I haven't picked up any neo-versions of him so definitely hoping to be able to get him.

The final issue of Lost Light is a big coda that has some scenes shortly after the end of the main story, and then some way off in the future, so it does reference things that happen in Unicron and Optimus Prime (and arguably 'spoiled' some bits, because LL #25 was released before Unicron #6 and...

Might not get anything out of this line. Laser Prime looks nice, but not WOW nice, which is usually what is needed to drop the cash on a leader class toy. Between having the original G2 mold, and the RtS update, not sure I really need this one. If there's a nice redeco, Scourge or otherwise, I...

Week of 10/13: King Grimlock #3 - This continues to be rather meh. I like the idea of a "Conan" book with Grimlock, but the execution continues to be lacking. I can't say I get much out of seeing them go from fighting a swarm of brownish-red woodbots to fighting a swarm of reddish-brown...
