>Council formed of Starscream, Rodimus, and the Mistress of Flame
It really isn't. It takes inspiration from it, sure, but it's not the same continuity.
For one thing, Starscream's a hell of a lot more noble here.

>Starscream's a hell of a lot more noble here

Yeah, hearing him talk like that made me do a double take. Still, it'll be interesting to see where they go with this...

>So wait, is this going with the continuity of the recent comics?
Nah, just inspired by it. The history doesn't match up.

STARSCREAM IS GREATEST AND NOBLEST LEADER EVER

John Barber's moving on from Transformers and is being replaced Sarah Gaydos

>Starscream
>Noble

Is this sum shattered glass

It's happened before.

is this good news or bad news?

John Barber's actually stepping down as editor and moving on to full-time writing. That article says nothing about what books he would no longer write.

John Barber's good but there's nothing saying Gaydos is bad, so atm it's neutral.

Denton "This wouldn't even be an issue if it weren't for the fascination with "canon."" Tipton's moving around as well but he's been working in the background of IDW away form Transformers for a while now.

>Before working for IDW, Barber published his own comics and also worked for Marvel, editing Wolverine comics, gaining familiarity with wrestling an erratic continuity. He then wrote all of IDW's Dark of the Moon comics, as well as three prequels to the movies to reconcile Chris Ryall, Simon Furman and Chris Mowry's stories, Alan Dean Foster's novels, the films themselves and character bios![1]

It's good for exRID since he can hopefully focus more on it so we don't get shit that drags as much as All Hail Optimus, but it's bad for everything else because he was the ultimate continuity wrangler. They'll suffer for not having him as editor.

"What the hell, I look like Thundercracker!"

>Rodimus Prime
Nope this is all new continuity.

That's a cracking pair of tits Megatron

Nooooo, my voluptuous booby!

That "fascination with canon" quote was in response to some people who were angry about Alex Milne having, as a joke, drawn a couple dead generics to look like Hot Shot and SG Ravage.

Which were only there to piss off David Willis in the first place.

I hope Sarah Gaydos is good at pissing off Walky.

I'd hate it if they killed off Hot Shot again out of spite.

Hey Hot Shot has other fans than Walky.

It's still not a thing an editor should be saying

Why does he look like he's killing himself at the end? Is it that time of the robo month were Starscream becomes super emo again?

If I could turn into a plane I would drop out of the sky all the time.

I had no idea this series was even coming, looks like its gonna be kick ass. The idea of "Combiner Wars" as an actual plot and not a toy line has a lot of potential.

Why is Starscream's voice so kawaii?

He's skydiving, that must feel fucking great.

>For one thing, Starscream's a hell of a lot more noble here.
It sounds so funny when he's got that voice. With that music.
I'm guessing we're being misled.

they confirmed when transformers devastation came out future transformer material would be doing this

so should I wait for the new blu ray for the transformers movie or is it going to be shit

We won't know until it's out and someone reviews it man.

When do this months comics drop for some Sup Forums storytime? I love it when you guys storytime shit. I wish someone would storytime all of the IDW stuff some day like people do with other series.

It's been done in the past and we could do it again, but there's just so much of the IDW stuff, where would we even start?

No idea. Beginning of the current series?

why does starscream sound like Chris Ayres doing frieza's voice?

Theres Rid and mtmte but if we were to start those two we'd also have to start with the Death of Optimus Prime since it's a better starting point.

Anyone up for doing these as a storytime for the thread?

I'm not sure how to feel about this. All I could think of are those cheesy 80's anime drive by sunset scenes... but with Starscream.

it so does.

but It's probably not him though.

I thought it was a pretty good little monologue. They should've tied it to the comics though rather than trying to make it sorta maybe like them but not connected at all.

>They should've tied it to the comics though rather than trying to make it sorta maybe like them but not connected at all.
Tying it to the comics would have been a terrible idea

Why? A neat little side story could be fine.

This guy has it right. This is like a political ad or something.

Has anyone ever tried to make Transformers movie cycle because I'm really starting to notice pattern with the production of all these movies up until they are released

I don't know how you can make a cycle out of

>Is it Bayformers?
>It's shit

Just popping into this thread to point to this thread: I pulled a mobile Transformers game off my mobile phone that I believe has not seen the light of day in several years. It the G1 Awakening game, except not the 3D .apk version that is readily available. Instead, it's the 2D version developed for non-smart mobile devices.

Not sure how gun-ho you guys are about preserving obscure franchise media, but it's there if you want to look at it.

>Or, since a mod decided to delete the thread for God knows what reason, here's the content of the old link:

Good evening. This is the user who uploaded the first episode of the four-episode Kingdom Hearts V-CAST game from my LG Chocolate last night. I ran into a wall with being unable to access episodes 2-4 on my phone, so I decided to just go ahead and rip the other game that was on my mobile (see pic related).

Now in 2008, there was a heavily advertised Transformers mobile game released by glu which was a tactical RPG set in the beginning of G1. This was one of the first 3D mobile games before smart phones were really a thing, and got decent reviews for what it was. If you really feel the need, there is a .apk floating around the net, and if you search youtube, you'll find a dozen or so videos of people playing through the game. This is not that game.

Instead, glu also released a 2D recreation of the game for mobile devices who couldn't handle Hot Rod's enormous girth. I'm not too experienced with the differences, but aside from missing cutscenes, the games seem to be 1:1 in gameplay and story. This game was developed using an alternative to Java ME, a now obsolete tool called BREW. Because of this, there are zero hints on how to pull any assets from this game or emulate it on PC.

Still, because why not, I've uploaded the game below. Also included is the link to episode 1 of KH V-CAST, since that thread only existed in the 2AM timeframe (if any anons have old phones lying around that contain episodes 2-4, PLEASE feel free to participate).

Sounds cool, too bad I know jack shit about computers or if mine could even run this. I appreciate the effort though, it sounds great.

Starscream has been watching WAY too much Top Gun. Next thing you know he'll be arranging volleyball tournies and hanging with Val Kilmer.

i really want to poke at this, thanks for the effort user

Starscream is presented as being noble before the cybertron in war started.

Well, he was a scientist. Wouldn't be surprised if he ran in higher circles.

What pattern? People always think the Transformers movies suck. The fact they keep making money is astounding since I literally know not a single person who enjoys them.

Are you somehow mistaking this main topic of this thread(Combiner Wars) for being about a movie? Because this has nothing to do with a movie.

Cinema is escapism, especially summer explosion flicks. They aren't there to enjoy the stories, just enjoy the special effects and other visuals. In this way you have people who certainly shell out to see the movies and don't hate them, but probably won't have anything overly kind to say about the story.

Plus other countries viewers may tell different stories.

They make money because they're popular in China, where theres a metric shitton of people.

That's certainly helping, though China isn't exactly known for sharing the money. Always seemed more psychological to me, namely the studios can boast about big sales and attendance and parlay that into the benefit they don't really see in any payout from the Chinese box office.

China also has one of those provisions where they only allow so many films into their market a year, so studios tend to compete for that market pretty fiercely. They must get SOME benefit out of it.

Does anyone got a fixed version of Till All Are One #2?

The Revolution part with General Colton was missing and I asked the Win-O-Thread, but there was no successfull upload yet.

Where is the iTunes preview

I see you found the right board this time.

In a few or several days because both of the remaining TF comics for this month will be released in two weeks.

>both
three*

Why in the hell were these deleted?

Do you wish to become annihilated? Not even a transmetal upgrade can save the five of you
>In a few or several days

Also, is anyone going to TFcon?

Real cute. Quit using avatars.

GUYS

GUYS

ARE YOU LISTENING

GUYS

OKAY

GUYS WHAT IF

OKAY

WHAT IF WE

GET THIS

WHAT IF WE MAKE A COMBINER WARS CARTOON

OKAY GET THIS

WE MAKE THE CARTOON, BUT IT ONLY SORT OF KIND OF FOLLOWS THE STORY THAT THE COMICS AND TOYS HAVE BEEN DOING FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS NOW

SO THIS WAY WE PISS OFF PEOPLE WHO WERE ALREADY FOLLOWING THE COMBINER WARS STORY, AND THEN CONFUSE ALL THE NEW PEOPLE WHO LIKE THE CARTOON AND GO READ THE COMIC AFTERWARDS

Seems like the brainchild of these two.
