The final battle begins! World after world has fallen to the unstoppable force of nature that is Unicron, and now Earth lies in the monster’s path. In this, the penultimate issue of the story that bookends IDW’s Transformers continuity and their wider “Hasbroverse”, can heroes and villains alike set aside their differences and put an end to the monster’s rampage? And even if they do, there is still the malevolent Shockwave and his army of beast-Transformer Maximals to take care of.
The finale of thirteen years of Transformers stories continues here – check out a preview of the next issue, care of Issuu.

don't frett; I'm a strong believer in oral culture and, havn't read a book since '94. In fact I've even considered the unthinkable since the discovery of free audiobooks on youtube – I fear, in fact, sooner or later during a cold winter night I might audiobook the original 'Dune'.
cheers for the comments on utube (btw I don't think i see them in real time something seems to have changed recently on utube) i've made available but unlisted Visionaries btw, in case you 'don't want to read a comic' for 1h20mins. If u can't find it I added the link in the uk thread.
and yay everyone … its friday

Absolutely nothing in this preview looks or reads appealing to me. IDW writers have written themselves into a corner, and Hasbro's endless crossovers have killed this as a Transformers comic. Reboot can't come fast enough…
dCon
Woah! I didn't mean to make you read a book bro! I will comment on yhe channel about the video Im Cdog on YouTube (& everywhere else)
dCon
Yeah definitely. Your talking about the 2008(ish) Series right? Because if so YES!

Continuity error was big, but i heard somethng they were doing this year was supposed to cover all that? I mean im sure only to a extent, right? . Basically just a re write to right the wrongs. Or was that in 2017, hmmm. I may have collected til late 2017, but i got way behind reading comics way earlier. Way back when Hurricane Irene happened was the start. it ended up closing the store for a good year, and the entire store got ruined but the funny thing was i just lost my license, so that day before the entire plaza got destroyed i called to see what comics they had of mine, & after the call they left about 3 months worth of my comics up on the top shelf. The story was they were too busy to put them back. Well any other time i might of cared, but i was the only one that had comics left of any of the subscribers. Granted most subscribers picked up every week or 2 and i was more like only 5 times a YEAR, but even still it reminded me of when my house flooded the flood went AROUND my comics that were in just in a white comic box right on the floor. The entire place got wrecked but my toys were upstairs and my comics were protected by god, some would say. It litterally like the water got out of the way and just went around the comics. Were talking all my 1984 to 2011 comics Ive always had a guardian angel but why would they give a shit about comics? They wouldn't as far as im concerened. But sure enough things have happened many times where i have had unconventional luck!
Anyways, the store was closed but bc i had the most comics on subscription and bc i was kinda close buyer of theirs they contacted me to say they keep my subscriptions just that i would have to pay when they opened back up. Granted i got the comics except the 1st 2 months worth IIRC. but it got me so far behind it became a headache to try to get caught up. In 2013 February they opened back up my bill was somewhere in the neighborhood of $330 & i think they gave me an icredble discount too.

I do too. . l actually love a lot of the concepts presented in it. Taken in isolation I think it’s awesome – it suffers from the abrupt cancellation of Furmans plot lines and not making sense in the context of Furmans work. I think if it had been done as a work of its own (as was originally intended) it would be more fondly remembered.
Susha
u're in luck
(does it count as part of AHM?)
(what ruined AHM was the MASSIVE continuity error – but the writing, especially if compared to …'other' more recent series… is shakespeare..)
Thundermania
You….. like "All Hail Megatron"?
dCon
Nothimg wrong with that its your creation but it is nice that you let me know. I am subscribed now too so i can watch them all if i want to I love the Hail Megatron series. Thats going back 10 years or more i still have the full run. I am more interested in reading digital now though. Thanks for the update
Susha
ty for asking (petrol wabbit) the answer is YESS! and.. as I keep improving some of my dubs I am asking around for voice actors for the Last stand of the wreckers dub I made, you can find most of the comic dubs I made in 'my' playlist
I'd link you some more but I don't want to intrude on the thread.
Just a word more if I may, they are all fan made non profit, and are 'edited' to fit my vision of the lore, hence I edited out things I don't like (eg I made an extract of Headmasters episode on Beastformers and tried to keep Daniel totally out of the story – Or in my LsotW dub, I removed mention of megatron being dead, to fit my vision of a unified lore, or rather the parts I like from here and there.
To get back on topic, same, I sort of stopped last year as first strike kicked inn, I do feel however, after having followed ever since all hail megatron, that it would be a pitty to jump off just as everything gets tied together.

Thanks Susha i actually quit collecting Transformers comics after 34 years strait, last November. And i missed the Revolutionaries comic last year i still would like to see more vf videos like this do you have a YouTube channel?
Susha
i made a video dub, cutting out the 'contemporary, not tf related stuff, mostly… its got music, voices, and only the panels done by Guido Guidi and focuses on explaining who Centurion is.
Badboiiiiiiiiii
did anyone notice strongarm in the cover

Love seeing Stardrive on the cover, same to Strongarm!
And liking the callback to her mini with what seems like Stardrive might be half Dire Wraith now or something else new tied to the story.
Preview pages are a fun read too. Looking forward to reading this story as completed.
Probe
Read The Transformers (2009) #3 and then the "Earthfall" arc of Robots in Disguise (2011) or read the summaries of those. That'll get you up to speed
Berser Car
Look at Bee and Stardrive in that cover. Bumblebee should stop trying to get all the triple changers; he will already have to fight three in his movie.
Blitz.
I have no clue what Skywatch is but I guess it's some sort of planet watch task force (As I said I've only read MTMTE) but at no point did any Autobot come forward with what must be hundreads of provable crimes and want to convict him or just expose him for his crimes? Or a decepticon turn up and ask wtf was going on? From the sound of it he just flipped sides and just had a total personality change because "lol so random"
Megastar
This should get made into a animated movie or series.

I wouldn’t put too much on IDW BW Megatron. This isn’t the mastermind of the beast wars cartoon. He’s pretty much one of shockwaves loyal bodyguards and that’s all.
Obviously these really aren’t the characters of that era. They are more than anything generics with iconic appearance.
That being said about him honoring shockwave , to quote Megatron from The Nemesis Part 2 “YOU DARE USE THE H-WORD TO ME?!”
