I have to say, that interview was actually more exciting than most of the actual TF comics I've read this year. And there were no pictures!

Especially liked this part:

I think the story strikes a delicate balance between action and characterization, between widescreen set pieces and those intimate moments that maybe you don't get too often in the TF Universe. The prelude to the mission itself and certain 'catch-your-breath' sequences on G-9 lend themselves to quieter, dialogue-driven moments, and that gives us the opportunity to explore what it means to be a Wrecker. What sets them apart from their fellow Autobots? Why would somebody want to be join a glorified suicide squad? What happens once you've spent hundreds of years carrying out the kind of missions no-one else wants to touch? What does that do to you as a soldier - as a person?

Sounds like this series is going to be the reason I still buy TF comics.

Bah. No Impy.

Still, has more promise than a Friday night at your local meat market.

Disappointed by lack of Impy too. I understand why they left him out, but also can't help feeling gutted that this was the best chance anyone's ever had to bring him back. Also, bloody hell, that decade went a bit quick, didn't it?

Otherwise stoked. It'll be nice to go back into my comic shop.

With a bit of luck we'll get a well written Springer spotlight sometime with a flashback featuring him dying in a suitably heroic fashion which inspires Springer to join what they aptly describe in the interview as a "glorified suicide squad".

I'm still glad that at least they KNOW who Impactor is! Bet Costa or Shane never even heard of him.

If these guys were Marvel UK fans, we can finally expect some quality stuff, IMHO.

I wish this was out already...

This is pandering to the most hardcore fans at its most sickeningly sycophantic.
And we just can't get enough.
