NextToNoMoney

He does own Light of Peace, as seen in his Director's Commentary video:

Ahhh, so he's familiar with 3rd party huh…

I wonder if he frequents this board..

He mentions "ignoring" things? I thought that was a thing EVERY Artists does already   

Thundershot

I know he doesn’t work for Hasbro, but they’re still the owner of the license, and you’d think Hasbro would frown on him showing off ordering 3P figures for drawing his books…

Well he's not promoting them in any official capacity, and Hasbro designers aren't that bothered by 3rd party nowadays as they use to be. It's like how he's stated and shown off a bunch that stuff like MS-02 Optimus and NewAge Soundwave have him what he uses for references, he hasn't shown or said that stuff in any official marketing so then it seems to be fine.

Well, there isn't exactly a Bruticus out right now, since Combiner Wars is going to be a decade old soon

… wow… That's a sobering thought.

Shattered Trousers

It's definitely not a G1 Hound, but I would guess it's based on Alternators Hound.

The flip-over chest emblem, the style of the shoulders and the little pistol all say Alternators Hound to me.

~L~

Yup, the wiki says alternators.

Shattered Trousers

I was thinking the same thing.

I remember it being kind of an embarrassment when More Than Meets The Eye #18 had a variant cover prominently featuring iGear renditions of Gears and Huffer.

I don't always buy Transformers toys, but when I want a Transformer that looks like a real Transformer I buy Magic Square.  

~L~

That Hound was something else too.

Wild Bill

The only reason to buy the individual issues is if you want to keep up with the series as it comes out. The single issues are $3.99 a pop, but you can buy the a TPB that collects 6 issues for $16.99. The pricing may change on the TPB's but right now, they are the most economical

Trades are also way easier to re-read later on.

I haven't purchased a comic in years (like a decade+)

I missed the first couple issues and I'm thinking of collecting and reading them by volume.

Is this viable and would anyone recommend it over getting individual issues?

Not terribly familiar with Skybound's way of doing things, but at Image for example they release a trade paperback not too long after an arc is finished. I bought Skybound's first issue, but I think I'll be holding off for the collected versions from here.
