We have some good news for readers of the IDW’s new Transformers series. We can report that he booster pack promo deal for issue #7 appears to be rolling into issue #8!
Last month, the official Transformers Trading Card Twitter announced that there will be a free Transformers Trading Card Game Wave 1 Booster Pack Included With IDW’s Transformers Issue #07. A very clever way to promote both the comic and the Transformers Trading Card Game at the same time.
Today, 2005 Boards member shadow panther sent us photographic prof that this month’s Transformers Issue #08 is also packed with a free Transformers TCG Booster pack.
Grab your copy of Transformers #08 this this week and look for your free booster pack inside your comic! Click on the bar to see the mirrored images and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Nothing. Transformers stand around talking about nothing. There’s also a pointless fight scene.

This some how cheapens the release not enhance it for some reason.
Kids comics here come with free gifts and back in the day marvel uk tfs had the occasional free gift but i never thought id see it with idw.
Sorry

There was a discussion about this very thing in the forum a couple months ago (except there the topic involved a single card, not a complete pack) and a good majority thought it was a bad idea because it would somehow either drive collectors of the card game into buying up all the comics and leaving the readers empty handed, well, did issue 7 sell out? (Honest question)

Except Seinfeld was funny. The comic doesn't even have that going for it.

If it's anything like the first 5 issues I read, then it's your standard Seinfeld episode, "nothing happens"

We actually call “shrimp” “prawns” in Australia and they’re not popular at barbeques. Everything you’ve known is a lie.
Fallout
aren't you australian? don't you say "put another shrimp on the bribery"?
Starscream Gaga
I mean it’s far more likely that they’re promoting the trading cards to other audiences interested in Transformers, but let’s jump to “bribery”.
SG Roadbuster
Sounds about right.
Idw never had to resort to outright bribery back when Barber, Roberts, and Scott were writing good comics for them.

So.. uh…. what happens in the comic?

Since the cards cost as much as the cover, which is free? Stock up on cards and get a bunch of comics.

i have no use for these cards and the "FREE CARDS" Blurb ruins the cover

Are these bribes to keep people reading the book?
