Should I drop Barber's Transformers?

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

Should I drop Barber's Transformers?

I know it's considered the "core" title, but I'm considering axing it. It's just so blah. It will be the first time I've not bought a core TF book. And I know in some way it's loosely connected to MTMTE.

What do you guys think?

Yes.

I gave it up ages ago and have hardly missed it at all. Occasionally I'll hear something like "Needleose and Tracks are brothers" which intrigues me, so I'll pirate that issue, then I'll read it and wish I hadn't even bothered to do that.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

I totally even forgot it was out tbh. The last issue I was read was Needlenose and Tracks. It felt like it was trying to be MTMTE and failing hard

Yes, I bought and read the Needlenose and Tracks issue, and cannot recall a single thing from it.

Consider it dropped.

I have bought the last six or so issues and not read them. I am afraid to ask the LCS to drop it, because they have been really inconsistent stocking my TF stuff. They have TF vs GI Joe every month, but they sometimes forget MTMTE, they never did get me Windblade, which actually looks better than Not-RID, and who can say whether they'll get Sins right. Erg. I need to explain that as much as I love Transformers, I am not the guy who will buy anything with TF on it.

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.

Ha. My comic guy does the same thing. Then I hand it back and he gets pissed off, like he was doing me a favor.
