The Transformers Collectors Club have updated with some new information and a sketch of Ultra Magnus for the 2012 comic. The key part of the story as we had previously heard at Botcon is that while the last two years of the story were all about the Elite Guard era and the war’s dawn, the new story kicking off in 2012 will flash forward to the present day;
Year three flash forwards to the “present” and kicks off with the initial installment written by G1 Transformers story editor and writer Flint Dille! With Jesse Wittenrich and Pete Sinclair continuing the adventure, you will NOT want to miss the action in 2012!Yes, you read that correctly, Flint Dille will be penning part one of the 2012 comic, “A Flash Forward”, which will feature Runamuck and Runabout and so much more!
Head on over to the Transformers Collector’s Club homepage to find out more and get signed up.

^ And THANK YOU for that.

And, since the Wings Universe is based on the Sunbow continuity, it would only make sense for Ultra Magnus to look like THE Ultra Magnus. While we have switched out a few for their updated forms, Magnus is just so iconic, we wanted to stick with the original!

Not since G1.
More like since 2007. (And that's not counting Kabaya Ultra Magnus, and the Heroes of Cybertron stuff)

Come on Pete, there has to be a way of getting this out. What do we (fans) have to do to get this rolling?
Do we need a petition? Do we need to ask IDW for permission? To we need to storm the gates of Hasbro?
A lot of fans would like to read the entire story without having to dig through 40+ issues.
please?

They produced that… We've produced everything since.
General Tekno
Agreed; IDW did the publishing for Balancing Act, after all.
Lumpy
is it possible to have someone like IDW print and distribute to alleviate whatever issues the club might have to deal with? it'd be cool to get like 5 years of club comic in one nice hardcover…
Pete Sync
It is something we want to do, but there are several factors involved. It is something we continue to look at and hopefully can happen.

^^THIS!
Pete can you give us any information on collected edition?any of us would really like to see one and it would be a good revenue generator. Give us info on this or at least what the hold up/delay/FP stance is on this topic.
Thanks
Greg

Would have to be about time eh?
Lumpy
very cool, that looks better… excited to see what's coming down the pipeline…
also, Pete, any word on a new collected edition of the club comic? i know i'd buy the first 2-3 years that i missed, and would probably buy the newer comics too so I could have them all in one fancy looking sweet read…

I don't think its quite right, or fair that "ultra" magnus is being shown, when "officially" he hasn't had his armor since g1. (Toywise that is) He "was" armor for rid, but that's besides the point.

From Matt Frank to the fans!

Glad to hear it! It's always disappointng to not be able to "reenact" a good story!
Pete Sync
Yes, now this isn't Marvel G2, it is Fun Pub G2… BUT. Yes. Plenty of G2 characters in this story and, well, we are introducing some "characters" never seen before in fiction THIS way!
Traachon
We could all use a little more G2, now couldn't we?
Provided it's actually G2.
Pete Sync
Oh, our "product" will see lots of action this year. People will be getting more of the "Runs" than they have in the past!
