On a more positive note, it is nice to see IDW trying to connect the dots that is their TF-Verse.
Even if the writing did come from an 8th Grader.

If you own IDW's current output, I would suggest you save your money. I doubt new artwork is going to be featured in this.

Still getting this though, despite the shaky storytelling, it should serve as a quick refresh on what happened so far and also put what the new ongoing series will acknowledge as cannon laid out on table to reduce our thumbing through back issues and scratching our heads.

You know IDW...you have other titles, but Transformers is really what you have. Perhaps you should take better care of your title that you know...people care about?

Exactly what he said.
So sad it should come to this. CODA To cover the link between Simon and Shanes work and now a book to link all three writers. They should have killed this series long ago. I am not purchasing this.
I find myself wanting a different publisher other than IDW to give the Transformers franchise a go.

No. they didn't fight Thunderwing on Nebulos, it was Cybertron. Who are the "they" that Wheelie found in his Spotlight and didn't he get taken out be a radiation cloud, not Decepticons?
The Continuum was wrong. Man that really irks me.

Thunderwing on Nebulos was confronted by a Decepticon Infiltration team in Stormbringer #3.
Wheelie's ship was taken out by a radiation cloud. He ran into Spectro, Spyglass and a dead Viewfinder on the planet.

Thanks for the clarification on that. I read the Continuum again just to make sure I was reading it right. Overall it does give you the basics of EVERYTHING thats happened over the last 3 years and thats alot of ground to cover in 30 pages. Its a great piece for newcomers to get their hands on so they know where the story is so far.

1. Megatron wasn't a slave. He was a miner but nothing indicated he was a slave. He had a job of which he was about to be laid off.
2. The last stand against Thunderwing by the Autobots didnt happen on Nebulos it happened on Cybertron. The Autobots didnt know where Thunderwing had been. Also, the Decepticons helped with the attack on Thunderwing on Cybertron.
3. Skywatch and the Machination were 2 different organizations. The Machination captured Hunter not Skywatch. The Machination had agents in Skywatch but Scorponok's plan was to set up and disgrace Skywatch, a government agency, to make way for his private company taking over their duties and expanding the Machination's power base in the government.
The last mistake is pretty unforgivable. There is no excuse for it getting past the editor.
