They don't have mums, or dads, or children. And they turn into stuff. And they don't eat Monster Munch or watch Xena: Warrior Princess. Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

With all of the quality product released by IDW, I'm surprised that we've never, ever, EVER had a Megatron solo book before. Maybe they were just waiting for the proper writer/artist to come along. After all, if, hypothetically, there were a book based on Megatron, in the wrong hands, it could have been so bad that it'd be sarcastically wiped from existence in comments published in another IDW book. Hypothetically. snarl wrote:Just... really... what the **** have [IDW] been taking for the last 2 years? Brendocon wrote:Yaya's money.

Some of my favourite IDW works have been spotlights. bumblemusprime wrote: When I picture Simon Furman's direct ancestor, squatting in dingy furs, singing songs about the glory of the Saxon tribe, I imagine him as the very first to gather his buddies around the campfire and say "There was this dude named Beowulf..."

Hypothetically. Well it's hardly surprising that they've not found time for a solo Megatron book when they've only been doing Transformers comics since the January just gone (not counting the testing of the waters Wreckers mini-series of course). There was no Mike Costa. Shane McCarthy does not exist. Eric Holmes was a lump of undigested cheese and of course Simon Furman retired from comic writing with dignity fully intact after Generation 2. http://thesolarpool.weebly.com/transformation.html TRANSFORMATION An Issue By Issue Look At The Marvel UK Transformers Comic.

If James or Nick ask for something, IDW better damn well give it to them. No petitions. No crying fans. Just give them pen and paper and let it rip. "But the Costa story featuring Starscream?
