Transtech to get new lease of life

Postby waaaaghlord » Tue Nov 27, 2007 3:41 pm

Pete from the TCC has announced on the club boards which direction the club comic is going to take following the current (post Marvel) Classics arc. While I can't quote directly from the club boards Pete has been kind enough to let members report in broad terms what's coming up to the wider community. And Transtech is it.

This will apparently be a different take to the original post Beast Machines concept, since the Universe comics have already covered the post BM era. Since the club comics have been focusing on the club combiner figures and hopping between realities it's fair to assume that this will in fact be a totally new TF continuity within the broader scope of Timelines. The Transtech name is apparently not being used for the project, what name they are going with is not known as yet.

It's been seven years coming but it looks like the TT designs are finally going to get their day in the sun.

Well if IDW keep getting the TPB rights as they did with the first arc of the FunPub stuff (Balancing Act) then this may end up available from your local comic shop in a few years time. With the Classics material drawing to a close (for the time being at least, can anyone really see that not being returned to once they have the Universe designs to play with as well?) we should see if that trend holds up before too much longer.

OK, I'm getting PISSED OFF at Hasbro constantly doing good crap like this ONLY for the people who can afford Collectors Club membership, or who can attend Botcon.

The powers of the club would argue that Hasbro does what Hasbro does - marketing to kiddies, and it's the club who tries to make things the hardcore adult collector. I do agree though they overcharge for their material, but what can you do?

It'll be interesting to see what the TCC do with the line.

sucks to be an international TF fan. really interested in the Transtech concept, but if this is where Hasbro's leading this line, it seems we'll have to spend blood money to be members or get no possible Transtech at all. i'd hate to overpay for a comic that has a great concept but so-so storyline and bizarre characterization.

first BotCon, then HTCC. boo Hasblo, way to go. (yeah, let the BotConners and TCC members start the fire, apparently we deserve it for being born into the 3rd world instead of America.)

I'm probably going to draw a /lot/ of fire for this, but I just don't feel the same "ZOMG!" kind of vibe for Transtech that other fans do. It's a neat concept, but if you do side-by-side comparisons of the '07 movie designs that so many people were screaming bloody murder about, and the transtech designs... I don't see the difference. Movie Megatron could've been Transtech Megatron for all the difference I saw.

How is it that one set of character designs gathers mostly negative forum press, while another is hailed as some kind of long-lost holy grail?
