Fuck IDW I'm not buying your shitty crossovers Edition

Storytiming MTMTE 54: Still on Namek

...

Got better things to do tonight then die.

Drift seems to be carrying an evil Trailbreaker.

Memnemenosurgery.

I'm surprised Nickel is actually fighting, frankly.

This is the page where things get really fucking retarded.

Super fucking retardation continues.

I once read a manga like this! It was porn but this isn't unfortunately.

N-nailed it.

Keep posting, OP.

Major, I'm burning up!

That's incredibly stupid but okay.

Finally, some good Megatron and Ratchet stuff AKA the shit I still read this for.

Don't you see, the magic was INSIDE you all along!

RIP (and tear)

The retardation ends here and was mostly pointless! Hooray!

C'mon now, they killed a few nameless dudes. That has to count for something.

You have been visited by the Dead Skids of Shitty Writing, conclusive and satisfying endings and a protection from god-awful crossovers will be yours if you reply to this post with "Sleep tight, Soldier"

>Ravage is fucking dead
HOW MUCH MORE WILL THEY TAKE AWAY FROM SOUNDWAVE?

Oh thank god.

In which Megatron brings the murder on an industrial scale.

REAL NIGGA SHIT

Cucksaurus.

Or Kukzaras if you're a weeb.

>ravage is alive
Thank god.

Get the fuck out, it's Megatron time! Also fuck you Roberts stop milking it.

Welp, fun's over.

Here in MTMTE you can pretty much assume somebody can live through anything as long as their head is intact and nobody is talking about their Spark.

Is this the end for Goku? Has the unlikely alliance between Frieza and Cell paid off? Will Gohan, Trunks, Krillin and Piccolo be able to save Goku in time?

Tune in next time for Dragon Ball Zzzzzzzzzz

Letters bullshit nobody cares about. Storytime done.

This ended too quickly.

fuck that was a good issue all things considered.

in b4 Defensor

Wait... is Ravage Megatron's Roller? Would that work without Matrix-magic?

We don't need your shitty commentary every page, user.
Please never storytime again.

Are they ever gonna reference the time briefcase Ravage stole for Megatron, or was that already passed?

I love you too user.

Well that went horrifically.
I'm so upset I can't fall asleep now. Good issue though.

what timezone do you live in? It's 8:36 am where i'm at.

10:36PM Wednesday here.

Is the IDW Transformers canon worth reading? Has it really gone bad or is that just Sup Forums getting upset about le Tumblr boogeyman?

I occasionally watched Beast Wars and Energon as a kid, but mostly I'm interested because:
1) I heard IDW TF is amazing scifi.
2) I love TF vs GI Joe so much I want to get more into those characters.
3) I want to read something that isn't capeshit.

Good god. Even his Autobot icon is mad as hell.

Megatron and Ratchet, best comic chemistry since 1984.

Just fucking read it then, wiseguy.

it's all over the place but when it's good, it's really good.

I'm curious whether the people constantly saying its turned to shit are right or not. I'm not going to pick up a series/two series that are good in the beginning and then go downhill.

Same timezone, user.
I just haven't slept at all.

Then here's the no bullshit answer- it goes up and down in quality constantly.

Just start reading and if it gets awful skip to the next arc. You'll be fine.

Some issues blow everything else out of the water and make Transformers seem like the most adult, well thought out franchise thatvwas ever created.

Some make you bite your fist in rage how awful the writing is.

Most are ok.

>I'm curious whether the people constantly saying its turned to shit are right or not.
MTMTE starts off incredibly strong but slows down a little past the middle and has just picked itself back up again. RiD starts off incredibly boring and picks up during and after Dark Cybertron; it's currently in a messy place though.

So obviously Megatron isn't dead.
How much do you wanna bet those shots were Deathsaurus or someone similar shooting at Tarn and Overlord?

That or Magnus/Swerve/Rewind shot them.

they didn't appear since the beginning,

It would be fitting considering they shot at Tarn and Overlord "together" as well.

It's definitely worth reading. RID/Transformers is a solid book with a couple of missteps now and then; MTMTE is genuinely fantastic for the first season, and people are mostly disappointed in the second season because we know how good the author CAN be. It still ranges from decent to great.
What else, uh... Windblade vol 1 is pretty good and vol 2 is a shitpile, both of the ___ of the Wreckers series are great, never read Empire of Stone, the "-ations" series, or anything else by Shane McCarthy/Mike Costa... I think that's a decent summary.

look at all those cameos of japanese Transformers
watch them get killed off one by one
first we had hellbat dying like a bitch and now the rest of TF: Victory-decepticons have to bite teh grass

Not that user but out of curiosity, which series do you think is best to start with? MTMTE or RiD?

I like how the artist drew meg's insignia looks like it's pissed

>Deszaras: My men shoudl retreat!
>Tarn: NO!-
then he turns around and tells his underling his men should retreat instead
fucking hypocrite

All Hail Megatron!

Quite enjoyed the comments.
U know, i dont really mind any comments till i get content delivered.

I really have no clue what the IDW TF comics are about or even how to go about reading them, which is a shame when the TMNT stuff is so good and straight forward and I don't even really care about TMNT but love TF

MTMTE will get you hooked. RID is slower and not too fantastic at the start. It's still GOOD but doesn't get GREAT until many issues in.
I'd read them in alternating TPB order - MTMTE volume 1, RID volume 1, MTMTE vol 2, etc.

I mean, they're the closest thing Tarns got to friends and family, he's just ensuring they make it out of there alive. Meanwhile the other dude is dumb enough to follow along with Tarns plan (no questions even asked) and get his men killed.

if he doesn't they'll die anyways

>I mean, they're the closest thing Tarns got to friends and family,
You think he's feeling any regrets about Kaon yet?

But the name of that guy is Rodimus, not Hot Shot. Or is this teasing him?

Deathsaurus hasn't died yet.
Even Nickel felt bad for him.

NO!

Its nickel. Nickel shot them

Absolutely. And knowing the writing I'm sure it will be addressed later.

I really like this theory.

How can you show that stakes are high in a TF IDW story arc without killing some of the good guys? Apparently, you can't.

But that's okay because they're just colorful kiddie meal toys instead of proper characters, right? Plenty more from the gook-slave factory where they came from.

Well, that was a letdown.

It's the power of friendship (and gay robot love) saves the day episode.

I'm not paying for this book anymore since I promised to myself that I'm not going to financially support James Roberts' habit of binge watching shitty sci-fi shows on netflix if this happens again.

Anyway, this issue was pretty okay. Standard as fuck, but that doesn't mean all bad. I guess now it's time to explain the mystery of the hollow planet, which is probably the titan, which is what Agent 113/Minimus ambus was talking about in his last recorded message, which the plot device that's going to save Megatron and the Autobots this arc.

Well in Armada, Hot Shot's name in the Japanese version was Hot Rod.

besides there already is an IDW Hot Shot, two of them actually.

You sound exactly like the tumblrinas crying because Skids died. Grow up or quit reading it if you get this worked up over it.

Oh yeah, Nightbeat and Rung are still investigating the hollow planet, right?

I think you meant 1990

That only happened because of their chemistry going way back to #8.

And Ratchet's insignia in is crying. I guess they are taking cues from fanart now and working as emoticons.

You still have Crosscut. They look similar.

Poor Tarn/Overlord/Deathsaurus.

Megatron wasn't upset they blew up his gun because it "defeated" him. He's upset because now he won't be able to hold back.

Shit. Bye Skids. You were a bro.

But Primus help me, if they kill Ravage...

It always amazes me that in the Marvel run it was almost always up to Ratchet to fuck Megatron's shit up in some way. He did it more often than Prime.

Fucking this. He is the superstar champion of the Pit and we know he is 100% operational. And we can see he got triggered by their question. Now he has to mldestroy them with his bare hands.

They've always had an odd connection in TF, even long after the comic.

>Is the IDW Transformers canon worth reading? Has it really gone bad or is that just Sup Forums getting upset about le Tumblr boogeyman?

It's literally like any other comic series ever, user. Some issues are shit, some are amazing, altogether it's average. You'll walk away with a positive experience on the whole.

1, I'm a little disappointed, I was hoping Megatron would transform for maximum firepower

2, so is it reasonable to assume Nautica is the Yoko of Transformers, whoever she gets close to dies?

>maroon, red and yellow
>major color scheme for Swerve Rewind and secondary colors for UM

>I was hoping Megatron would transform

>"I may've leaked a little."
Why is this allowed?

>Next issue: Aftermath

Ehhh...

Also spark thing was retarded. That just feels like bad storytelling, it would've been better if they didn't just ramp up the Decepticon numbers if they had to do this spark thing to justify everyone not dying instantly to hordes.

He's probably going to use Tarn's Voice to try and kill the other two.

Because Sweve has a piss fetish. Which is funny because some user in the /toy/ threads posted something to that effect a few times.

Motherfucker must be psychic.

So which one of the DJD will replace Tarn once Megatron murders him next issue?

Because it's a staple bit of comedy, you're just injecting sexuality into it.

>Leozack died off-panel

It was for the best.

No one said he died.

>That just feels like bad storytelling
Welcome to IDW.

There is literally nothing there indicating he died.

I love it.

I hope Megatron is dead.
