Son of a beetch! 0_0 TF-comic rumour - Marvel/Dreamengine

I, I, I this must be bollocks.

Apparently Dreamengine of course want's to make a bid for the comic, but possibly with the backing of Marvel?? And read some of the posts there, as they also state a few negatives with marvel at all getting involved with TF again. We already know most of the negatives regarding DreamEngine, but those were interesting. I had never heard of this, "bay city roller version of transformers - bots master".

At this point I have no idea who should get it, as the DC preposal was a bit male-genital. And the Devils Due? Hmmm....not sure about that one not quite.

Let's start our own comic book company which we'll call; "Sane comics" or "this aint cartoon crap comics" or something like that.

We'd ofcourse need to hire Furman and give him no restrictions what so ever.

Basically, this rumor COULD be surmised in a question: Would you let Pat Lee hold TF again (although Marvel would be his boss) in exchange for being able to access the Marvel TF universe?

Now for me, the only way I would answer even "maybe" would be if they were to not only access the universe, but the continuity. If they said they were going to start off after the end of G1 or G2, I'd say "Hell yeah, let's go ahead and put Budiansky on the stories, Manny on the art, and Nel on the coloring while we're at it.".

But Hasbro obviously is not going to go in that direction. And in that case, there is absolutely no reason to let Pat Lee get within two shits of TF again. I think that Hasbro knows that, too.

Impactor.

Xaaron.

Death's Head.

Neo-Knights.

Blackrock.

Jhiaxus.

G2 continued? G1 missing years?

Come now... I don't care if Dream Engine does the publishing, as long as they let Simon free reign over the comic. And Marvel did just that with G2 and G1 Uk, back then.

Marvel - good!

Dreamengine - bad!

Decisions decisions...

some of the responses to that thread news item really piss me off:

" they wrecked them twice before, and i don't want to see that happen again. please hasbro, listen to us, the fans. we don't want to see transformers given to a company that has twice shown that they have no respect for transformers or transfans."

who is this guy to speak for everyone? And how did Marvel wreck TFs firts time round - the Marvel runs still represent the best TF body of work IMO.

But if it involves Dream Engine... balls to it, i'd rather see it go elsewhere.

Except you don't read Seibertron, you just like to punch any and all idiots in the face.

Heh, and some days that is even true.

Seeing as we're on the rumour-mill, LITG sez

While retailers and fans wait and wait, and gradually start to lose interest, I understand a final decision on who gets the "Transformers" comics license, and the remaining Diamond solicitations still on hold, will be made between the 11th and the 18th of February.

Always spot on with the LITG updates, Mob. Thanks!

Well, that's something to look forward to. I'm absolutely bored with all the speculation.

Too bad I'm not in LA: that Liz lass near the end looks pretty good.

That rumor's complete BS, btw. It's not going to Dream Engine. It was just put there to generate more page views.

Predabot · Post by **Predabot** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 8:38 am

Why, you zonk of a bonk!

Smooth hustler indeed.

Wait! You don't have anything to do with that anymore, do you?

But then why do I sometimes see your name there...hmm.. Your husslin' me brain!

Kicks arse. But what does it have to do with your husslin'...well technically they're female..

Accept no substitute to Professor Smooth eh? Well, goes to show that there's a few gits in the rumour-department on Seibertron then?

I dont' mind if its Marvel. I just hope they can do the quality of artwork that Dreamwave was up to. By the end of Marvel's run they had tongue's hanging out of every robot they drew and the art work left a lot to be desired. That was 10 years ago though .. well much more then 10 now . .I don't read many comics but I have to assume their quality is better by now.

A company like Image though would work well. Whoever is doing the GI Joe comic seems to be a good fit. Just no more Pat Lee. He had his shot. Sorry time for someone else to give it a go I say.

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 9:26 pm

Hey, artists come and go. They are not tied to companies. Marvel can hire Don, Guido or "gasp" Pat Lee if they want to.
