Gretings All...

ok so I just got my monthly comics. Please forgive me but after looking at the schedule for Revolution...I am totally confused. I've been trying to keep up with the articles, but apparently I haven't been doing a good job.

I know that in Sept both the self titled TF & MTMTE will stop at #57 and the next month, October with Revolution go back to #1 (MTMTE will be renamed "The Lost Light"). But will the "Revolution" be each titles #1, or are there Revolution #1's, and individual TF #1's ...(if that makes sense).

Also...is TAAO going to reset after only 4 issues?...seems kind of silly, but oh well.

I know I probably am putting myself through more trouble than its worth, but I am a fan of linear continuity. all these stupid restarts always get on my nerves. IN my world, the Titans return one shot is issue #300 of an ongoing series, and for the most part I've been able to keep track despite all the curveballs that IDW throws, but this one has me perplexed. Its nice they are always providing jumping on points for new fans, but I guess they really don't think much of us that have been around since Infiltration #0 .

If anyone can list it all out for me, this would be appreciated. Also, is it just me or does it seem the timing of Revolution is a bit off. This would have been a good thing to start in January 2017, when both ongoings had a solid 5 year run behind them, and Titans Return could have been fleshed out a bit more rather than forced through 5 issues.

From what we know so far:

- MTMTE ends in title as such with #57, part of Titans Return, with The Transformers.
- Revolution is a 5 issue event, with TAAO, TF and MTMTE each having an extra issue by themselves as tie-ins to the main Revolution issues. They will be TAAO Revolution #1, TF Revolution #1 and MTMTE Revolution #1. This is not the beginning of the renumbering!
- Post-Revolution, MTMTE becomes Lost Light #1 (instead of MTMTE #58; Roberts still considers it the same book), TF becomes Optimus Prime #1 (instead of TF#58), TAAO - as far as we know - goes back to its numbering pre Revolution, so from #5 onwards.

Does that make more sense?

Thank You. Yes it makes sense in that now I know what to look for at my local shop, and wont be missing any issues. It still doesn't make sens from a business point of view, but whatever. They can number the issues however they want. I just wish maybe in the inside, maybe even on the back page they could put a number in the corner like #301, #302 etc...for those of us that are keeping an overall tab on things. ;)

So...Basically Titans Return is 5 issues (The Titans Return one shot plus MTMTE #56, 57, and TF #56 & 57) . And TAAO #3 and 4 are basically doing there own thing...you'd think it would be part of Titan wars as well but...


Oh and one more question... So...for example in October will there be a TF MTMTE Revolution #1 AND Lost Light #1, or will TF MTMTE Revolution #1 be October, then Lost Light #1 in November?

I posted the schedule somewhere... aha! Here: the-transformers-idwverse-a-chronology-t105238s25.php#p1808899. In any case:

- Road to Revolution hits in September.
- Revolution runs from September to November. MTMTErev#1 is November, TF and TAAO are October.
- Lost Light starts in December.

Thanks. sadly it was seeing that schedule in the first place that started all the confusion for me. It shows all the Revolution titles, but doesn't give clarity as to when the regular TF books start up again, or if they are occurring in the same months.

So will Optimus Prime #1 and TAAO #5 start back up again in November or December? I still say if they had waited until January this all would have been a lot easier. :lol: .

I'm kind of skeptical of the wider Hasbro Universe fitting in with Transformers. I mean G.I. Joe is one thing, but eh. I'll try it though and hope for the best. At least it's not My Little Pony or Jem trying to be shoe-horned in. I still have nightmares about Megatron from TFP being a brony. :P

Thanks again to Seibertron for uploading the pictures! TFW2005, as usual just gave a link to the (unreachable) IDW and that was it. Plus, then there is the hassle of trying to open a very large PDF file.

However, it was an absolute bugger to download these pictures. Server problems?

No. The decepticicons infiltration base was buried in the side of a mountain in Oregon during the entire -ation run by IDW.

Astrotrain, I think.

Edit: I say that because events in the story would line up right, but comparing pictures, it looks very little like Astrotrain.

I wasn't going to give this a chance, due to not caring about any of the other characters besides the Transformers, but this art is beautiful. If the story is halfway decent, I'll keep up with it. Still, can't wait until Lost Light debuts.

It's just Transformers v GI Joe all over again with Mask thrown in. Transformers has hundreds of it's own unexplored characters with bios already written on them. For a writer this is basically a manual on how to use the character. Thousands of stories can be written about how one Transformers personality and abilities plays off another on one of the many backdrops in the vast TF universe. Transformers doesn't need Mask, GI Joe, Rom or the Micronauts.

I don't know why IDW would even attempt this crossover. They hate to use big casts or even different characters. It's been Optimus vs humans and Jazz getting his chassis smashed on Earth for over two years now along with the same cast of Arcee, Jetfire, Cosmos, Kup and Soundwave.

Scorponok was imprisoned on Garrus-9 with Shockwave and was meant to have a pivotal role in Last Stand of the Wreckers but was cut out. Since G9 is now decommissioned he's no doubt toting around the Galaxy. I've always assumed he may have been the one that took grimlock off G9 during overlords occupation. He'll show up again eventually.

Bludgeon is still on Cybertron no doubt alive but he's not really a deception anymore. He just big walking ball of crazy nowadays

Sixshot will show up again eventually. If anything that awesome new toy may help with that.

Personally I just want it to be BW Megatron. It means we get one of the franchise's best characters, we get more Beast Wars stuff, and we won't have to worry about Hasbro asking IDW to turn Megatron into a Decepticon again since we'd have a Megatron in charge. Win-wins all around!

Does it feel to anyone else like we've been going through the same song an dance with Transformers and humans for what feels like decades? It's always the humans hate transformers for being big destructive robots, but none of them can learn to tell the difference between good and bad robots despite the entire cybertronian race being color coded for their convenience at this point. Even when in engaged in obvious humanitarian efforts, in populated areas, this kind of thing constantly happens, it seems.

This isn't even a specific comics based problem, the movies are an even worse offender. It's getting tiresome that the automatic human response to the Autobots is to shoot them. There's no dramatic tension to any of it. What would be much more interesting is if there were actual, tense negotiations between the transformers and human leaders with everything becoming complicated due to the involvement of Rom, M.A.S.K, and the Micronauts bringing in more alien shenanigans.

To be fair in this specific instance, it makes a lot more sense in IDW where the 'good' and 'evil' robots aren't quite as easily defined. If anything, right now, the way Optimus is acting is VERY good reason to react the way everyone is - he's becoming a bit of a fruit loop honestly.

This is a massive preview with 26 different pages and covers, so that is why it took so long: massive picture quantities! Believe me, it was a pain.

I am willing to give this a good shot. It looks pretty good, the art is marvelous, and I see potential in the storyline.

And yes that is Blitzwing. Astrotrain kinda got cut up in TF55 and Scorponok is somewhere else

How many instances have humans been against all transformers? The first 20 years were all about how humans and autobots were allies and how it's okay for a city to get pummeled as long as the autobots save the day. Literally this and the movies are pretty much the only circumstances with humans seeing all transformers as an enemy and for totally good reason. The decepticons killed over a billion people in All Hail Megatron and in the ongoing Jazz killed a human(defending bumblebee) and in the movies they wiped out Chicago. I'm sorry but it's realistic. You don't just turn over a say "well the guys with red symbols are the good guys so it's fine" No, they are the same species. It's completely rational to to consider they are all threats especially in IDW when they killed over a billion almost succeeded in conquering the whole planet.

It's less believable to just be okay with it. Optimus announced that an entire planet full of sentient beings is his and his only to protect and grow. He took away their choice and while he means well he's doing this to a generation that survive global genocide.

I always find it hard to believe the level of destruction we're supposed to believe happened in All Hail Megatron.

We only see one city and a handful of Decepticons. Maybe if they went the Dreamwave route and Megatron had a million Air Warriors/Seekers but he didn't.

Everyone complained about the original ongoing and All Hail Megatron as being poorly written and focusing too much on humans.
We're getting the same thing again lately. All 3 arcs featured Spike Witwicky. I wish IDW would learn their lesson and get rid of him.

I wish IDW would get rid of John Barber too.

Washington DC was shown destroyed with air force one burning infront of the Lincoln memorial, th seekers and insecticons were shown in China with skywarp gloating about how he alone wiped out half the city and we saw members of countries in Europe talking about their own attacks. Just because we didn't get scenes of cities didn't mean it wasn't happening. The ongoing, Bumblebee mini and RID ongoing revealed that it wasn't just the 84 cons on earth, there were several groups all across earth attacking and Soundwave was interfering with a lot of communications and technology handicapping earths defenses

In the cartoons, maybe, but it wasn't the same case for the Marvel Comics, in which the U.S. government was in constant odds with the Transformers (Autobots included) for several years before they finally understood the distinction between Autobot and Decepticon. And Circuit Breaker alone had been a constant thorn in the Autobots' side ever since her debut (as Circuit Breaker, that is), what with her irrational hatred of all Transformers and her ceaseless desire to see them all dead.

There was also the Dreamwave G1 comics in which the relationship between the Autobots and humanity was shaky at best, with the U.S. government willing to take direct action against the Transformers, regardless of faction, if the TFs posed a great enough threat to national security.

The cartoons might have kept the Autobots and humanity on relatively good terms, but the comics did pretty much the opposite.

Randomhero wrote:How many instances have humans been against all transformers? The first 20 years were all about how humans and autobots were allies and how it's okay for a city to get pummeled as long as the autobots save the day. Literally this and the movies are pretty much the only circumstances with humans seeing all transformers as an enemy and for totally good reason. The decepticons killed over a billion people in All Hail Megatron and in the ongoing Jazz killed a human(defending bumblebee) and in the movies they wiped out Chicago. I'm sorry but it's realistic. You don't just turn over a say "well the guys with red symbols are the good guys so it's fine" No, they are the same species. It's completely rational to to consider they are all threats especially in IDW when they killed over a billion almost succeeded in conquering the whole planet.

It's less believable to just be okay with it. Optimus announced that an entire planet full of sentient beings is his and his only to protect and grow. He took away their choice and while he means well he's doing this to a generation that survive global genocide.


I'm primarily familiar with the comics and movies, not so much the G1 cartoon since that was before my time. The point is that the Decepticons killed a billion people, and it was the Autobots that pushed them back, which has been established that the humans, the government at least, is aware of this fact. In the movies it made even less sense since the government had been working with the Autobots since the end of the the first film and became public knowledge after the the third.

As far as all Hail Optimus goes,I don't remember him engaging in any overt action against humanity beyond making his proclamation and establishing Autobot city. It infuriates me that none of the human leaders ever bother to formally talk with the Autobots. If they had a scene where diplomatic relations actually exist before breaking down, that would alleviate a lot of my gripes.

To be fair, this is very realistic in terms of attitude. We humans have a long way to go before we can stop killing and attacking members of our own species, let alone try to get along with members of an alien race that inflicted huge casualties, yes the autobots pushed them back but do you think that matters to the people who survived that terrible time?

Plus the humans already tried negotiations with Galvatron and Soundwave and we all know how that turned out.

The problem with Prime's plan this time round is that he's assumed control and doesn't seem willing to cede any of it back to the humans in the terms of running things and if they want to be part of a galactic council made up of more cybertonians. At this point I would say mankind has been scarred by alien contact.

I can see why you would be annoyed by the animosity, I really can. Problem is we have been in this situation before, in both positions and we know how it usually goes (I.e. bad for the indigenous)

Another event exclusive cover for the first issue of the Hasbro licensed properties over at IDW Publishing - Revolution - has been revealed via comics and entertainment website Comics Alliance. This time, the event is Granite State Comic Con (Manchester, New Hampshire), and the artist is Ben Bishop (TMNT covers). Check out the image and breakdown of the cover below!


Just for the record, here’s who we’re looking at on this one:

Soundwave, from Transformers, the big blue occasional boombox.
Laserbeak, a part-time cassette tape who lives in Soundwave’s chest.
Zartan, Cobra’s master of disguise from GI Joe, best known for having a color changing action figure and for leading a group of bikers who are definitely Australian despite living in Florida.
The Manta, my personal favorite car from MASK, a purple ’85 Nissan 300ZX that can turn into an airplane with laser beam headlights. In the original series, it was driven by Vanessa “Not Quite The Baroness” Warfield
The Jackhammer, an armored back Ford Bronco with a pop-up missile launcher, driven by bare-knuckle boxer Cliff “Blaster” Dagger.
The Piranha, a motorcycle that is also a submarine, driven by Sly “Wrecker” Rax.
And a few other MASK vehicles floating around in the background.

So why is the Holiday 2015 issue is here. Is there something in that issue that ties in to Revolution that we missed?

He had it in his and Orion Pax's Spotlight issues (but which were set in the past), so yeah it's weird seeing it here.

Oh huh, didn't know that. I just thought it was a new form all the seekers sans Dirge took upon returning to Cybertron a few years back.
I'm gonna guess it's an error due to Skywarp still being in that body.

They just needed somewhere to slide it in, much like Combiner Hunters and the Distant Stars TPB. ;)
