    Great series. Looking forward to Wednesday.

    Just wish I liked Rodimus at all. Always grated on my nerves.

    I love the teasers IDW gives out. Although I already decided to continue getting all of both ongoing series.

    Yesssss I really love Pipes design. Can't wait to see him in action.

    Maybe I'm reading the series wrong...

    But I suspect we're not supposed to like Rodimus.

    Rodimus is a horrendous fuckup that is risking lives, while thinking he's doing the right thing.

    but he means well? He genuinely wants to save Cybertron I think, he just wants to prove himself as a hero too. there's definitely an obvious selfish part to his actions.

    It's pretty awesome that no one actually seems to believe he's right, just on the Lost Light for their own reasons. I do want to see what's up with Drift, if he genuinely believes in Rodimus. He definitely believes in the Knights, but I wonder if he's just manipulating Rodimus for his own ends. He writes Roddy's speeches and keeps supporting Rodimus no matter what, spinning things as positive.

  • CenoCeno pizza time Registered User regular
    Oh I meant just in general. Not exclusively within this series.

    Rodimus is annoying.

    3 and four issues into each book, and from someone who has only read Last Stand of the Wreckers I think More than Meets the Eye is the better book, as it seems to be doing more world building despite not taking place on Cybertron. Last issue was hella heavy on dialogue but it kind of works.

    I have the same bot book history and feel the same way about MtMtE being the superior of the two books thus far. More fun, better setup for the characters, funnier, etc. Not that I don't enjoy Bumblebee&Co but they seem to be setting up for a much more complex setting, whereas MtMtE is a little more foot loose and fancy free.

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    MTMTE is definitely my preferred book of the two, but Robots in Disguise is still doing good things.

    SPEAKING OF!

    Sunstorm: dead. Bombshell: dead. The five remaining constructions: dead.


    Prowl thinks there's a decepticon conspiracy, and as far as he cares, cybertron belongs to the autobots.

    Comixology is having a half off Transformers sale, anything worthwhile at that price?

    linkity link

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    @TexiKen

    only get Transformers #22 and #23, those are the issues for Chaos Theory which James Roberts wrote

    those issues have tons of setup for MTMTE

    the rest is Mike Costa penned garbage

    Man, I wish I posted that same question earlier. Went and bought the entire series just to have...

    Oh well, it is entertaining so far. I started reading from the first one and am now on issue 10 or so. Love how Swindle just said that Hot Rod is referred to as Rodimus Prime.

    Death of Optimus Prime is good stuff too, if you don't have it.

  • MetroidZoidMetroidZoid Registered User regular
    Yeah I feel stupid asking but ... with Comixology, is it only available to read on smart devices? Or is there some simple program to read this on my PC? Adobe?

    Damn, I need to get in on this stuff.

    I love the idea of these guys living in a period of generally-sustained peace being unable to hold their shit together because of becoming too reliant on the Autobot/Decepticon conflicts dictating their actions for them.

    Maybe this'll be my first iPad series.

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    RID is very good

    I'd say that MTMTE is better, but I do prefer the tone. It's a fun action book with some horror in it, it's like a grown-up Animated that explores space.

  • BetsuniBetsuni UM-R60L Talisker IVRegistered User regular
    Ok I got home and realized I only read up through Vol 4. Finished off the first series and it was ok. The next one... Yeah... making me really think that this was not a good idea to just buy all of the sale ones just to have. The second series makes me remember that horrible G2 series they brought out.

    But I will make it through the entire lot just to say I read them. Even if it kills me.

    If all else fails, turning 31 in August will be cushioned by the fact I get 3 great Transformers books.

    Preview for MTMTE #5. Roberts completely blindsided me with the twist in the opening pages, holy shit.

    Okay.


    Who here reading the thread didn't buy this last issue?

    I need to know so I can yell at you because this is, without hyperbole, possibly the best written single issue of Transformers.

    ....ten thousand pages?
