do you have the results of the poll thus far?

'Fraid not. If they do become available I will be sure to post them here though.

Could someone storytime Scarlett's Strike Force #1?

Found this

so what was the point of this killing the protectbots?

To keep the combiners down yet again.

I dunno honestly and it's annoying.

The least they could've done if they had to die was for them to at least beat the crap out of Getaway (not in the kill him off but close to).

Who were the two that died then you think? It was really unclear.

...

Atomizer and Rook.

Huh. It has to be either Mirage, Rook and/or Atomizer. All the others didn't seem fatal. I can deal with Rook's death, but I wanted to see more of Atomizer's growing conscience.

Mirage, Atomizer and Rook?

so that means the other Protectobots might actually live?

I doubt Mirage could survive being cut hot dog.

only 2 though so mirage lived i guess

>twitter.com/jroberts332/status/946125667502100480
He changed it to three now.

My boy Rook of course. Can't have a character triggering the SJWs by being a SWAT vehicle. And probably rednyellow OC. Never cared for Roberts' originals. Good riddence.

oh so rook atomitizer and mirage

dammit, two deaths had my hopes up for a second that mirage lived

Then Mirage is fucking dead. Roberts has become such a trash writer. His head is so far up his fucking ass.

I don't like anything about this cover.

How dare you.

Fuck off you limey cunt. Go jerk off to doctor who.

>jerk off to doctor who.
well shes a girl now so at least ts not weird

Oh boy, more forcing us to tolerate whatshername.

I think that time travel bit might undo some deaths

I hope Anode blows up.

if there's consolidation perhaps Swerve will get more focus in this one.

Anode is basically Swerve 2.0. I can imagine Swerve will be like YOU STOLE MY WHOLE SHTICK!

>Dr. Who is a girl now
Damn, guess ol' Roberts won't have anything to wank off too anymore then.

for fucksakes

...

>the murder porn was universally disliked so hard Roberts has to back pedal and say almost everyone lived

Being Cyclonus is suffering.

wait somebody got it in hand already.

leak that shit out already.

sooner we can get this over with, the better.

It's just the preview.

He doesn't want any part of that orgy going on behind him

Technically atomizer wasn't killed this issue. Notice his whole spinal column was in tact. He's food.
That's why it was listed as 2 people dying this issue.
Rook/mirage
Atomizer is being killed off screen before the next issue, which is why he changed it.

Yeah I had hopes for a brief second Mirage might somehow have survived but fuck everything I hate Roberts and his death porn comic.

He corrected himself. He said 3 people died.

I think the problem with this issue is that it's taking place right after the Mutineers trilogy.

literally you're just like....but Getaway just found what could very well be Cyberutopia.

and here we got comedic filler.

I mean yeah you need at least one issue showing what's life like on this ship but they're so far behind everything, it's like ugh, just get to the good stuff.

Perhaps the Mutineer trilogy would've worked better if it wasn't 3 in a row, put this issue after #10 and then continue the other two.

I know
>Which is why he changed it

I just got sqweeks, and hes damn cool. I actually loved his design, like alot of the bizarre small bayformers designs, and he even comes with a mini repair bag and interchangable arms

I'm convinced the Protectobots were meant to be killed but Roberts already seeing the backlash assured us they're spared....barely.

Here's a theory I got.

Groove will be reformatted to be more like the 2nd CW/UW version body and design and with the Ambulon limb now, Getaway has them all shadowplayed/mindfucked so he has a zombie Defensor to do his bidding.

and perhaps First Aid will have to fight and perhaps save his former comrades.

I wish, hes note really back-pedaled on anything.

Are you...are you looking for /toy/ user? I think you might be out of place.

I agree with I don't think he's backpedalling. He's always faking out deaths anyway.

This is a transformers general, how is this not appropriate to the thread?

Except for Pipes because fuck Pipes. That fucker still left a mark on my boots.

I guess it is just I dont know that there are many people who would know much about the toys here?

...

They did rook so danm dirty never got to see his hulk hands.....


On the plus side Star saber is back to go midevil on some fucks

Thank you

Oh lawdy. Alright, so, the blurb there looks like it's pointing to Cyclonus wanting to commit sudoku, but given how much Roberts like to "subvert tropes" (aka: shitty writing), I'm guessing it's gonna be an out of left field character wanting to throw himself into a metal shredder. Since we know for sure it won't be his Donut Steele, I'm guessing it'll be Swerve.
Why? Too close to Donut Steele's personality, so he'll probably happily melt himself down so Donut Steele can have his spot and subsume his personality completely.

This issue just hinted at a Star Saber vs Cyclonus rematch, and Star Saber is an absolutely shit villain who has nothing else going on so it's necessary that that happens.

>Anode is basically Swerve 2.0
I've alwayas seen her as a watered-down Rodimus.

>Atomiser killed off the moment he actually becomes a character

That's how I see her too. The fact their fighting on that cover makes it more obvious. They wouldn't stand each other.

Nautica hates Anode too.

I think everyone in universe will hate her yet somehow still tolerate her like Megatron or Whirl except somehow their is less reason to have her join.

Roller was the only new addition to the team that had some purpose and he hasn't done diddly.

So how likely are we to see the quints and for them to fuck up getaway's shit?

>backpedaling on the protectobot's death

Roberts is a fucking hack. Mirage should've been defensor's leg and died that way. It made no sense for him to try and reason with starsaber.

I'm done with IDW tf comics. They've been polluted to the max with shit tier writers and ideas and this is after crawling out of the shit pile AHM and the on-going was.

does roberts not understand that people dont enjoy their favorites dying

I don't understand. It's not like he killed Anode or something.

...

He probably doesn't care.

Roberts is going to do preg stuff now with the Quints, isn’t he? He’s going to burn the fandom as he continues to go down in flames.

Seriously, Roller's done nothing yet.

I'm actually Okay with Anode and Lug but if they get in the way of my cute swerbby boy I'm going to be Upset.

>autobots becoming quintesson sex slaves/egg incubators
Y'know what? I'd resub.

HRM.

It'd be a great idea

>actually don't mind how the IDW TF books are going
>except GI Joe, fuck that

Sorry...

Mine would undoubtedly want to return, but be elbowed out of the way by Sakamoto as he dropkicks Lawrence out of the IDW offices' window.

Will resub for this or robovore. Not joking.

If IDW were smart, which they're clearly not, they wouldn't let Sikomofo into their offices.

NEW WOTC TRANSFORMERS TRADING CARD GAME DUE LATE 2018

An interview from Wizards of the Coast today revealed plans for a brand new Transformers themed TCG...

Next fall, Wizards of the Coast will be releasing a new Transformers trading card game.

The game hasn’t been formally announced yet, but Cocks says it’s a title aimed both at young teens and the collector and toy audience. It will come out in September or October. “We think Transformers are cool and the game has interesting, unique mechanics,” he says. “All cards are two-sided, over-sized and feel bigger, weightier in your hand.” Cocks says the game has a relatively light learning curve, but a lot of depth. “It should take one or two times to understand how to play,” he says.

The game, which has a unique rule set, is built around two decks. One of the decks is a hero deck and the other is a powers and abilities deck used to “amp up heroes.” The strategy around play, he says, is to choose the right hero with the right abilities and powers. They’re also considering making a digital version of the game, once it launches, depending on how it is received. “Transformers will be brand new to Wizards.”

There are still losers out there who do the whole trading card game thing? How pathetic.

Heh, yeah....pathetic...

Nothing will ever be as bottom rung as you though. So fuck off.

>Cocks... aimed... at young teens...
>Cocks... has a relatively light... curve, but a lot of depth

It's funny because the man's name is "Cocks".

...

Drift and Ratchet are about to kiss on that cover.

Is rewind missing fro the picture?

>tfw Nick Roche is working at Marvel now
How the mighty have fallen.

>Seriously, Roller's done nothing yet.

Like man it would've been better if he had done something during that fembot outing, he came along and maybe Drift since they had the least amount of focus in a while.

like Roller's just there cause they needed to fake out the Tarn thing.

like seriously Optimus would love to know Roller is back now.

seriously he should've been given another series at IDW.

We talk about toys all the time. Least we did, anyway.

Poor bastard, though. Izzy's big moment in the entire movie was shaming her little friend to go on a virtual suicide mission despite having lost her bigger friend earlier in the movie to self-sacrifice. Shit, man. I actually didn't mind her character that much. The whole kid and giant robot buddy was always one of my favorite parts of Transformers, but Sam was so god awful annoying. I hope the Iron Giant style plot suggested for the Bumblebee movie works out this time.

Travis Knight has directed kino movies before and has a good idea of what he wants out of the Bumblebee movie. This could be the first TF movie that gets a fresh rating on RT even if it's at a 60%.

Sounds fun.

I really hope it isn't shit.

So the Bee movie has the chance to be Kino?
Neat.
I really like the aesthetic that they're employing for the movie, the girl's cute and stuff, and the cars are pretty nice.

So are the new rescue bots actually kids?

yes.

>defensor is kill and taken out magically by Star Shitter.
>rook just up and killed despite being a fan favorite new character design and a complete blank slate
>needing ambulon when mirage is a combiner limb
>Mirage dies too

Just when I thought things were looking up.

Really adorable... but do they grow?

Aw. Baby bots are adorable.

I look forward to it with greater anticipation than Last Knight.

I half expected the kid to ride out with her robot buddy before anyone could stop her, another scene playing up the "power shit that happens when humans pair with cybertronians to get shit done." Kind of a callback to the notion that Lennox would have ridden Arcee to destroy Blackout in the first flick.

>speaking heresy about star saber

Its like your asking to be purged you heathan

I'm not mad he died, I'm mad they wasted the plotline they set up with him WAY back in his spotlight and referenced in CW to be a fucking super power. So now we'll never get a conclusion to that since he's fucking dead.

Does this mean I can tribute Earthbound Scout Hound, Disguise Gambler Smokescreen, and Triple Warrior Sandstorm to summon Autobot Messiah Optimus Prime?

WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT TO FUCK STARSCREAM JESUS CHRIST
