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!

Pretty cool comic trailer for Primacy

Has anyone here bought this series (the whole Autocracy, Primacy, etc series? Is it worth reading? And is it considered IDW canon?

Autocracy was... okay. Sort of Dreamwave-y. Fun, at a lower level than MTMTE or even RiD.

In other words, pass.

I don't regret reading it but it didn't make a big impression either.

i kind of did regret reading it.

It's the start of the war, it should be epic, instead it just feels by the numbers.

And of course you compare it to any of Robert's flashbacks and it falters even further.

My LCS put Primacy in my hold. Going by Monstrosity and Windblade, they will also order issue #2 and forget the series existed.

The art is cool. I like Livio's art here a lot. But the story is just so blah, by the numbers, even fanwanky.
