IDW is joining their various Hasbro action licenses into one shared universe. (No, that does not include Jem and horse).
Revolution is a 5-issue miniseries plus 8 more special one-shot Revolution issues of MASK, Micronauts, ROM, G.I. Joe, Till All Are One, Action Man, The Transformers, and More than Meets the Eye.
Is this a good idea? Is anyone going to read the whole thing?

>Is this a good idea? Is anyone going to read the whole thing?
I like some of these properties, so probably.
>ROM
I'll read the mini and ROM. Maaaaybe More Than Meets the Eye.
Otherwise wake me when they get Inhumanoids.
I wonder what the MTMTE tie-in will consist of when it's nowhere near the center of the action for this event.
Whirl, Rewind and Tailgate watching footage of the crossover, riffing and mocking it the whole time.
This is a shitty stupid idea and I dread what it will do to the existing transformers stories but nothing we can do now.
G.I Joe has a brief history with the Transformers and seems like it can work well with it whenever the bots feel the need to return to Earth but as for the others, i'm not sure how well they can work with Transformers.
ROM and Micronauts are both sci-fi with robots (or at least cyborgs), MASK has vehicles that transform... I think they all fit with Transformers pretty well.
Solicits tomorrow.
Also MASK will start as Revolution tie-in one-shot before getting a proper #1 (like Rebirth) in October.

The Transformers ones aren't Revolution tie-ins. They're Titans Return.
Also, it amuses me that the Titans Return covers don't have any characters getting Titans Return toys on them.
Is that Livio Ramondelli art? 'cause damn, it looks good for him.
>“We didn’t want this to be what fans have seen from so many others, which is a reboot or a relaunch where you’re asked to forget about all these characters and stories you’ve been following for years,” Ryall says. “It’s just now everybody will be acknowledging each other in a much greater way than ever before.”
>"I don’t want G.I. Joe or Transformers fans to feel like they have to buy every issue of everything we publish now just to get the whole story. If they do, certainly that’s a nice outcome, but I still want them to read a Transformers book and have it feel like a Transformers book."

Is there a reading orders to jump into idw ?
What must be read and what is currently going ?
Do we have a release date for the first issue of Titans return?
Action Man, ROM and Micronauts have only just started. MASK isn't out yet.
IDW GI Joe sucked, and I hate that they're bringing it into this universe rather than rebooting it.
Transformers is... complicated. Basically, there's two ongoing series (More Than Meets The Eye and Robots In Disguise/"Transformers"). And a third (Till All Are One) just starting, but who knows how long that'll last.
Basic required reading is MTMTE and exRID (I'd read them in alternating TPB order) and the two Windblade series (the second's kind of shit, but sets up some of the exRID stuff), and probably TAAO as well. Last Stand of the Wreckers and Sins of the Wreckers aren't required, but they're heavily recommended.

Oh, fuck, I forgot: START WITH THE DEATH OF OPTIMUS PRIME. It's a jumping on point that explains the status quo. And never, ever read Drift: Empire of Stone. You'll be better off for it.
>Do we have a release date for the first issue of Titans return?
MTMTE #56 in mid-August.
Meanwhile here are the covers for the September REVOLUTION one-shots.
...
>No, that does not include Jem and horse
a good choice horses is just starting to get good again and throwing it into this is to risky right now
not sure why they chose not to include jem though
maybe they could have a seperate shared universe for there more female marketed titles
>implying Titans Return may have some effect on the Revolution storyline
Or is the REVOLUTION BANNER just marketing bullshit for that month?
Are you ready Sup Forums?
Solicits in many hours from now
oh and also
>Is this a good idea
oh good lord fuck no
>Other covers
>REVOLUTION starts here
>Transformers covers
>REVOLUTION is coming
Apparently they're going to allude to Jem existing in the Hasbroverse, but aren't going to make it explicit in the Jem titles.
tl;dr Jem is canon to the Hasbroverse, the Hasbroverse isn't canon to Jem. Which is probably for the best, because talk about tonal mismatch.
>Transformers
>G.I. Joe
>ROM
>Micronauts
License property that Marvel used to have
What the fuck is that robot thing in the background?
So in other words, IDW: Civil War?
>TFW when I collected action man as a kid
>TFW my action man had an overarching and continuous plot
>TFW I played too much metal gear solid and as a result my action man was an old worn down grumpy soldier
>TFW my action man hated his job but was only action man because it's all he enjoyed in life
>TFW my action man became an enemy of the state and went on the run as some sort of underground terrorist (inspired by watching the matrix probably)
>TFW I killed my action man when I decided I didn't want to play with toys really anymore. Not even kidding, I did an epic storyline where at the end he sacrificed himself and died a GOOD death.
I was a real edgelord as a kid. I played too much metal gear solid and watched Stallone movies.
The MASK stuff has the kid in me marking out hard.
Matt Trakker is black now
>tonal mismatch.
true
i guess the fact that they all had a little of that made me fail to consider how minor that mismatch is compared to what it would be with jem
Reminder that the MASK cartoon was dogshit moreso than any of those other toyshilling cartoons from the 80s, that literally the only value was in the toys with the neat gimmicks, and that this isn't worth getting worked up about.

>I have no idea what's going to happen, but its different and that makes me afraid.
Yeah there's nothing to fear here. These are all properties with similar tones, aesthetics, and content that can be blended seamlessly. They also seem to be keeping Transformers as the "main" story with the rest of the titles orbiting it, which is probably a good idea. Similar to how the early period of the Valiant universe centered on XO-Manowar.
>And never, ever read Drift: Empire of Stone.
I wish someone had told me this.
>MTMTE #56 in mid-August
So Titans returns kicks off with MTMTE rather than RiD?
I'm sorry, user.
A-at least the Guido art was good, right?
> Prowl in a MTMTE cover
It´s only promotional, right? Right?
Why do they do shit like this? I'd rather they have removed Trakker and use the actual black member of the team.
Ahhh so this is what killed one of the best things on the stands.
A Pox on this and its roots in tying the comics to the films.
With the claws for hands? That's Biotron from Micronauts.
m8 Transformers vs G.I. Joe always very clearly had a set ending. The Earth blew up. There was nowhere else to go. And Scioli isn't one to work on things forever.
Where the heck did you find all of these?
Are you new?
No. I haven't seen these posted on any other sites, and reverse image search isn't turning up anything.
No, it's Bill Sienkiewicz.

>Where the heck did you find all of these?
Deep browsing PREVIEWSworld
Christ, that must have taken ages to figure out the image URLs and shit.
Actually, the whole thing was - supposedly - suggested by the IDW editors to Hasbro before they new about the Hasbro cinematic universe plans. Hence the incorporation of Transformers.
Also, TF vs GI Joe was always a finite story, and Scioli's stated that they're ending it on 13 because they felt that was the best place to end it.
>hated his job
>all he enjoyed
huh?
MTMTE 54 is tomorrow right?
Yes.
Read some of these in some order.
And dropped. Thanks IDW.
Black people are cool and hip. I, for one, will be excited to read a cool, hip comic, starring a black people.
ROM can get into space I guess also Micronauts aren't earth based from what I recall so they can pop up where they are.
The One Where They Go Back To Earth Except This Time The Sitcom Was Written By Thundercracker And It's About Multiple Alien Invasions
Those characters are all on Earth for this story, though.
Yeah this is better, IDW Jem should be in its own universe while Hasbroverse can have their own Jem and the Holograms who ocassionally appears and maybe is alluded to when characters like Jazz make a comment about listening to her.
Still.....after Revolution is done....when MLP joining Hasbroverse?
(INB4 I get shilled for being a "brony-fag"
This idea is so stupid! It'd work fine if it was a standalone set in it's own contiunity but tieing it into the existing books and interupiting their ongoing story is just plain retarted
Like Infestation?
Is it interrupting anything when it's taking place in a separate mini and one-shots?
>It’s important to note that many of our titles such as Transformers and Micronauts will take a break from their ongoing stories in the months where they have a tie-in. We don’t want fans to feel overwhelmed by the event or get fatigued from having to buy 30 different titles to get a complete story. In total, including the main event book, it’s 13 comic books over three months. We hope fans sample them all!
But the covers that are literally right up there show that Micronauts and ROM's regular issues are coming out the same month as their tie-ins.
crossover was a mistake
I can't explain that!
None of these issues will come out on time and everyone will be confused and angry.
Business as usual then.
>You'll find out details soon enough, but MTMTE #56 and #57 feature a very special guest star.
Is it Rom the Space Knight? I hope it's R.O.M. the Spaceknight.
ROM's on Earth, not in space.
Is there anything preventing ROM the SpaceKnight from traveling in space from time to time?
He's focused on killing the Dire Wraiths infesting Earth, and he only just got there.
Also, it's obviously Prowl, user. See
Good lord, TF, I love you, but I do not give a shit about all these big fuckers you keep pulling out. Hasbro finally synergizing with IDW was a mistake.
Shit I didn't notice that was MTMTE. I'm sure Prowl will fix everything.
>best boy Prowl on an MTMTE cover
Does this mean he's going to personally screw the lost light crew over?
No, because this is the adventures of Fort Max and Red Alert now.
They're probably all on Cybertron again.
Interesting. Sad no Jem rocking out with Soundwave and Blaster though.
>No, because this is the adventures of Fort Max and Red Alert now.
>paranoiabot and PTSDbot ever starring in something together
It would definitely be interesting, that's for sure.
>Sad no Jem rocking out with Soundwave and Blaster though.
Do those two have a rivalry in the IDW comics as well because I've yet to see it featured?
Did you miss last month's solicits, user?
>TITANS RETURN! On Luna 1, nothing ever happens — and as far as FORTRESS MAXIMUS and RED ALERT are concerned, nothing ever will. After all, who else could possibly be interested in the Luna 1’s birthing field and its graveyard full of dead Titans?
Is Prowl going to give birth to a Titan? He is a huge cunt...
MTMTE #54 is out on Kindle somewhere, apparently.
Guess who dies? Skids, like everyone guessed.
Dump when?
iTunes/iBooks in several hours also
Bra-vo, Roberts.
...
Probably for the best they continue to clear out the no-names to make way for characters could recognize at a glance, honestly.
