Shame we didn't get the one with Flak on the cover… just cause I love Flak and he doesn't get enough love in return.

IDW’s Transformers (2019) Comic Series: Issue #14 Zama Cover Art Process – Transformers News – TFW2005

Yeah, they were good but Furman went crazy and gained delusions of grandeur. His later IDW work is not that good really.
And I prefer Roche and Roberts still. Roberts may not have a perfect record of high quality issues, but I’d rather read a bad issue of Lost Light than any issue of Optimus Prime it IDW2. Roberts’ stories were just far more entertaining to read, even the bad ones (which were only “bad” due to being too goofy or ridiculous of a premise. And I could tell the ending of Lost Light was being rushed due to lack of remaining issues to finish the story in. But even so, a truly bad comic book is bland, dull, tedious, uninteresting and a chore to read that I just can’t connect to any of the characters or the story on a personal level. That’s how I felt about Optimus Prime and IDW2.

The “ation” series was so damn good. Still a bit bitter that they cucked Furman.

You misspelled Simon Furman and E. J. Su.

One of those was great, the other frequents tumblr too much.

Roche and Roberts was the best thing about IDW1.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.
Never let fanfic writers run the show.

I'm telling you, we really need to set up something on Tumblr for all the MTMTE fans who can't deal with loss or change.
I'm glad this has been a slow burn, not everything needs to be body horror action 24/7.

True! I always forget about her

Still from the same company. IDW is capable of putting out genuinely good comics. They’re just not capable of putting out consistently genuinely good comics.

And a FLamewar. We need more Femi-cons
Wreckage MK4
It’s almost as if that was a separate comic book, managed by different people.

It’s still no MTMTE.

This is getting more and more interesting for me

Badly hoping she gets a WFC figure at some point. Need more fembots.
A new Tracks/Road Rage/Selects Loudpedal would be amazing too as we’ve gotten a look at their aesthetic through Road Rage here.

Hope this means that we might get Ruckus in ER.

The tipping point will remain stable until issue 18, I think:

I see Zama's cover, I'm happy.
