What would help us generate more interaction in the forum threads for the episodes?

Has IDW's version of the classic characters started to take more precedence than the original G1 versions?
For the obvious example, when I think of Megatron, I no longer think of the megalomaniac personification of evil destroyer of worlds, but now I think of the conflicted freedom fighter who tried too hard and lost his way.
When I think of Hot Rod, I don't think of the young hero ready to step up and carry the Matrix. I think of the immature leader who means well, but can't get out of his own way.
When I think of Optimus, I don't think of the greatest hero of my childhood. I think of the proverb that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
IDW has moved so far beyond the humble beginnings of our beloved toy commercial. I just realized today talking with a fellow nerd, that "old school" G1 is fading away to me. The vast world building and attention to character building IDW has done is winning. I'm okay with this.
Your thoughts?
P.S.
This would make a good topic all on its own. *heads off to the comic forum* But I'd still like you guys to answer it.

I think we'll address this soon. It's been cropping up on the edge of conversation a great deal recently.

Accidentally.

Burnout of what? Collecting? Podcasting? The morning after really spicy food?
