Transformers: Ongoing #12 Five-Page Preview

I picked it up yesterday. Ending is kind of a jaw dropper.

Poor Prime is about to be framed by Onslaught, I like that concept. I need to get the TPBs and get caught back up

this is what IDW have spent a YEAR leading up to

this ?

sweet jesus im not even sure if i want to get this in trade.

ive given up on costa at this stage. ive NO interest in anything he's setting up and despite claims from others about what a great writer he is im seeing NO evidence of it. this is the WORST portrayal of prime ive seen in decades !

TBH im this close to not getting any book he's on now out of general principles.

i cant believe how IDW have fucked this up so much.

ive read fanfic better than this !

Yeah, too bad it's for all the wrong reasons.

I havent read it yet but IDW needs to get out of this Transformers/Government team-up stuff fast.

Truthfully, there is no reason for any Transformer to be on Earth right now.

For all of those "Ongoing" readers who despise the fact that the Transformers are still on Earth, just think -- the "Rodimus in Space" saga is due to start with the next issue. As a result, the next few issues should at least be space-centric with very little connection to Earth.

P.S.

I do agree with Mindmaster concerning the continued residence of Transformers on Earth. Beyond the fact that Earth is energy-rich, especially with Shockwave's energy-seeding efforts, Earth has been an indelible part of the Transformers dating all the way back to the early '80s. While I would love to see more stories taking place in other solar systems and galaxies, we have to recognize that Transformers and the Earth are irrevocably linked and such a connection cannot be severed without drastically impacting the whole TF franchise.

I'm seriously considering to drop this title now.

I thought Megatron was getting a redesign? I also thought he was in space?

I LOVED THE LAST PAGE!!! Costa just redeemed all of his writing with it.

Okay, I give in. What happens on the last page?

I haven't got the issue yet. I'm in much less of a hurry these days to get the comics...

Bumblebee gets assasinated by a human wielding Megatron.
May I point out the page which redeems all Costa's writing has only 'AAIIEE!', 'OH MY GOD...', 'NICE SHOT' and 'NO!' as dialogue.
