Comic Book resources have published an interview with comic writer and Illustrator (and owner of a brilliant name) Zander Cannon.
Whilst mostly dealing with Zander's work with Alan Moore on "Top Ten", as well as some of his other works including "The Replacement God" and "Bone Sharps, Cowboys, and Thunder Lizards", there is also a brief mention of Zander working an upcoming Transformers series for IDW Publishing:
I'm writing a Bumblebee miniseries that spins off of a new semi-reboot of the Transformers continuity at IDW. I'm only in the process now of writing a proposal, so I can't say any more.
Bumblebee Mini-series?
Semi Reboot?
What does it all mean?
Stay tuned to Seibertron.com, as we will keep you up to date with any further developments regarding this series.

I realize it's a rumor but there's a reason I'm only reading the movie tie-ins anymore.

i have to agree with you there, i read it as he was saying it to someone who may not be aware of what idw's been doing recently. so i wouldn't freak out about idw rebooting what they've been working at for so long. but a bb mini series sounds cool, hopefully he'll have cliffjumper and his itchy trigger finger along for the ride.

Speaking of McCarthyland will we be getting an explaination for the alt mode downgrades in the last 4 issues of AHM?

As a reader of the old UK comics I know back then I was impatient when the US stories were reprinted instead of new Furman ones (I'd pretty much given up reading by the time Furman started writing the US stories).
Shane MaCarthy's work is like the final season of Babylon 5 or Galactica 1980 - stuff that I wish really didn't happen.

I'd love to see Prowl, handled properly i.e. anyone but Furman who keeps turning him into a whiner instead of the infinitely patient and logical right hand man to Optimus Prime depicted in his tech specs and Dreamwave's MTMTE. No way can Furman's Prowl lead the Autobot army in Prime's absence. Hell. Budiansky did a great rendition of Prowl.
I grew up on Furman and loved his Marvel stuff. He's great at the epics but it's the characters and dialogue he doesn't handle well. That's why I loved Dreamwave's G1 ongoing. I just felt the writers 'got' the characters. Even McCarthy in AHM. It's always been about the characters for me. It's a millenia long, intergalactic war with a cast of thousands. It's already epic.
I've wanted to enjoy IDW's G1 and I have to a certain extent, but I'm afraid when they started off with another G1 reboot, I was soured against them.
Anyway, I apologise for once again bashing IDW. As always, I'm always ready to see what they've got next for us. So I will check out BB's series. I actually loved their Beast Wars and Hearts of Steel books. Oh and the Movie stuff and most of the Spotlights.
