TF Ongoing - General chit-chat...

Post by Impactor returns 2.0 » Sun Sep 11, 2011 4:47 pm

Can I kick off with a few questions? - "no", oh ok...

Anyhows, Galvatron, who is he and where does he come from in this world? - who are the sweeps?

Seriously, how is Megatron THAT powerfull, I know that shockers explained the use of all the ore to rebuild megatron but he comes across as being as powerfull as say, well Galvatron circa Time-wars!

Anyone else have questions?

In essence:

Remember Revelations?

Remember how much IDW ****** it up?

Chaos is basically Costa redoing Revelations but decompressing it.

And not writing it as well as Furman. You forgot that point.

I suppose the Sweeps are Galvatron's legion of discarded mechs from HoD reformatted somehow. Hey- all robots of various types and personalities changed into one note, dull automatons with no explanation... should the Sweeps now be known as Costas? :)

Whatever.

THERE ARE NO TRANSFORMERS COMICS UNTIL DECEMBER. :D
For now, it seems like IDW wants my money.

I'm just pissed that this enormous Chaos event--it's just Costa retreading the Furman plot that was ****** over. So why not have Furman write it? And why slap Roberts' name on stories that he obviously had nothing to do with?

To get people like us to read it. It was a last ditch attempt to trick hold-outs into buying the books. I told Schmidt as much, back at the IDW boards (that it felt like a cheap way to pander to the disgruntled audience), but he was adamant that that was not the case.

It's also just come to light that Roberts has also been behind the scenes since issue 18 or so playing almost a continuity cop. Probably more a "fill in the names" cop, as Costa already 'fessed up to that (another thing that Schmidt vehemently denied was the case).

Boy, Andy just wasn't the guy to be on the books, was he? Of course, neither was Denton...

Oh, for December to come and wash all of this away-
