Think I finally got a friend to start reading MTMTE. Got him onto Transformers a few years ago after showing him the Movie and Prime (it was still in season 1 at the time.) But up till now he always kinda blew me off when I brought up the comics. Was talking about them yesterday as he was getting them, and I mentioned how much better Rodimus is in MTMTE than in the Movie, and he didn't even know who Rodimus was, despite me having shown him the movie. Then again, he hated Animated and thinks Prime is the best thing ever, so who knows.

Blackheart posted:Sounds like BS honestly... the "return to 2d with a younger target audience" rumor seemed more likely. Sometimes I just wonder if just taking the IDWverse to TV would work. Depends on the series. I know most of us would love a MTMTE series, but it lacks Optimus, Megatron, Starscream and Bumblebee, so Hasbro probably won't be interested. RiD has the latter three, but kids won't be interested in politics. That just leaves Furman or Costa's stuff.

Phy posted:RiD has Optimus, though! He's off solving Jhiaxus' and Soundwave's mysteries with Hardhead, Wheelie, and the big beefy guy. Yeah, true, but he's only shown up a small handful of times, so I didn't think he'd count. Then again, Megatron was in the book even less, so I guess you have a point. Diet Poison posted:Or some sort of bullshit where they interject those characters into MTMTE at the expense of Rodimus, Overlord, Cyclonus, and SWERVE, in that order. Optimus as the infallible Christ/leader, Megatron as the dirty secret hidden in a cell, Starscream as the Recovering Decepticon, and Bumblebee because gosh kids love Bumblebee- we'll just replace Swerve's hilarious lines with some beep boops and radio noises and it'll be perfect! I'd smash a bro if they tried to replace Swerve. He's one of the best parts of MTMTE.

Been trying to get a friend of mine to read LSoTW and MTMTE lately, so I decided to go back and read Last Stand again. I'd almost forgotten just how much stuff Roberts had set up back here for stuff that happens in MTMTE. I mean, there was only two years in between them, but it's still impressive.

Kinda weird that's what people got out of the whole dumb Overlord flashback thing. Well yeah, it doesn't. But aren't point one percenters the only ones who survive the process that turns them into a phase sixer?

I'm usually fairly easily amused, but I gotta say, I'm not enjoying Dark Cybertron all that much. I can't really say why because I'm bad at explanations, but there's something about it that's just falling flat for me.

Ah right. Still, Prime is exactly what's giving me hope for this happening. Pre-war Philosopher Megatron joining the Lost Light. He'd probably fit right in once everyone got over hating him.

Veg posted:Roberts said he has 5 seasons planned out, there is no way this is a sudden change from his plans. I really hope that's not the way they go with this. While I know Megatron would very likely never wear the Autobrand, the war is over and the Lineage of Primes has ended. Cybertron is rebuilding, his war is over. It's likely wishful thinking, but I want to see a return to pre-war Megatron. It would be a bold move, and could make for interesting stories.

So after weeks of not being sure about Dark Cybertron, I'm thinking it's getting a little better. Plus unless I'm wrong it looks like I was right (kind of) in my hope that Megatron would recover at least a little of his old self.

So the comic is going in a direction that I'm rather enjoying. Not the plot, no that's dumb, but I'm loving all the Autobots and Decepticons just singing and hanging out in Swerve's. Plus Megatron showing regret over the war, and the first sign of the old poet in eons. Then again, I guess the first real look back at him was back in Chaos Theory. Although it's only through recent developments that I now believe that he was just trying to rile Optimus Prime up to execute him because the old Megatron was still in there and sickened by what he'd become

All I can see is the front page and Whirl and Arcee's conversation Apparently only people who tried to view the image through itunes or on an iphone are getting the extra spoiler page. Still (Dark Cybertron #11 spoilers) I can't believe they're killing Bumblebee. I mean, sure his death fits the narrative the best, but I'd have thought Hasbro would veto all over that.

Sentinel Red posted:See, it wasn't really surprising to me, in a overthinking/X-Y-or-Z-are-too-obvious kind of way: Well yes, I had exactly the same feelings on the matter. I was only surprised because (I dunno if this counts as spoilers, but it might let people infer who it is, so) The fact that Bee usually has such heavy plot armor is why I didn't expect it. He's one of Hasbro's cash cows, so I fully expected them to veto his death regardless of how well it fits. Megatron becoming a good guy was less of a surprise to me due to the way his character is in the IDW-verse, as well as him deciding that he was done with war and being a tyrant at the end of Prime.

SpikeMcclane posted:For him, it's 2 reasons, and they've even been stated in the comic. 1) He was a watchmaker and new hands wouldn't have been as finely crafted as the ones he was "born with." Same deal as Ratchet's story arc. 2) It's his excuse for his bad behavior, and he knows he'd be just as big an rear end in a top hat after being fixed; then he'd have to own up to it. I always assumed that was his reasoning for during/after the war. I always just thought that it was because of the massive stigma around Empurata that people who dealt in new bodies and the like pre-war would refuse to deal with Empurata victims.

Karma Tornado posted:Rung's whole head got replaced after Swerve shot it off. Seems like a real dick move to not fix his eyes. Up until I remembered this, I always assumed that Rung's glasses were because of his age. Remember Kup's spotlight? If a bot doesn't keep up with upgrades, then eventually new ones become completely incompatible with their body. They had to use modified Pretender tech to save Kup's life because he had never upgraded his components. I figured that Rung just never upgraded his optics, and since he's the oldest person on the lost light by a large margin (except maybe Cyclonus and Tailgate), maybe his head just isn't compatible with modern optic upgrades. Of course then his head was rebuilt from scratch, so there goes that theory.

I'm probably being petty for feeling this way, but after watching RotF and DotM, I'm completely refusing to see AoE unless it's for free. While I hear that the characterization is better, I'm admittedly upset that (not sure if this counts as spoilers considering the last few films) that Prime is still a psychopath and might, in fact, be worse than he has been. It probably makes me sound like a G1 fanboy, but Prime should be an optimist at heart, always willing to talk things out before even considering violence. I know characterization marches on and all that, but he's an iconic character, and that's pretty much how he's been in every series, and even in the comics.

Why cookie Rocket posted:Have the IDW titles gone down the shitter in the wake of Dark Cybertron? You guys don't talk about them much any more, and I never bother to catch up until I see gushing in this thread. This thread has pretty much always been more about the toys than anything else for as long as I've been in here. Which sucks because I can never afford them. In any case, MTMTE has only been improved by the inclusion of Megatron, and as was mentioned earlier, Windblade is great. TC's return in RiD was great, but everything else so far has been pretty average at best I think.
