thats cool this will really balance out the movie for me...i wouldnt mind having something to read that would help to fill the giant gapping holes the movie had.

i also wonder if the second movie would use anything from the comics or will it all be thrown aside.

You know that IDW is going to do a great job of introducing characters, developing them, telling a good story, only to have it all contradicted by the next movie.

They should seriously get Simon Furman to do the script for the next movie. To have them a wee bit fleshed out at least!

This is goooooooood news. Lets hope we get lots of great stories to keep us quiet until TF2 is done.

And the Jamjet spotlight sounds really interesting. I wouldn't have picked him for a spotlight but it might give me some love the conehead.

Well seeing as how Frenzy's head was still kicking and turned into a mobile phone I reckon jazz's upper torso should still have enough mass to become a SMART Car :grin:
