Hope you got it out of your system, because we don't do that first poster nonsense here.

If you like G1 you should be getting Bumblebee, and Transformers (Ongoing) #2

I only have a few IDW comics so far but the Transformers ongoing and Bumblebee series both interest me a lot. I like G1 Bumblebee a lot more than Movie Bumblebee.

TRANSFORMERS #2

Written by Mike Costa, art by Don Figueroa, covers by Figueroa and Andrew Wildman.

"Things Fall Apart," Part 1: After the shocking events at the end of last issue, the Autobots are in total disarray. An unexpected leader rises, and unlikely alliances are made.

That can't be good for Optimus...

Wow. Only two issues in and I'm already not liking the direction of the ongoing. At least when it was the art style I had a problem with I could usually ignore it.

I'll wait for the Prey TPB.

How can Ravage be up and running when Bumblebee metaphorically skinned him alive?

How exactly is that Classic trade going to be handled, since Circuit Breaker's in over half the issues?

So awesome that this forum zaps "first posters" like mosquitos in a bug zapper.

on topic, i'm totally stoked on all of this, its nice having the collected volumes of the original series as this collection will have one of the two issues i'm missing and i won't have to get my grubby hands on my originals!

love the movie universe and all the cameos by offscreen characters, hope this book has some more.

can't wait for the new on going!

I really enjoy the IDW Transformers universe so I'm looking forward to these December issues! I'm working my way through the "-ations" titles right now.

DB, you are far more of a comics expert than I am so please explain what the issue would be with having that character in this volume. I am familar with the character from back in the day, but what conflict is there with having her it in now?

Trademark or copyright issues?

Copyright issues, yeah. Circuit Breaker, along with the Neo-Knights, are Marvel owned characters. And IDW apparently doesn't have the right to them, as in the previous four collections, any issues in which she appeared weren't repritinted. The closest they ever came was in the last page of issue 21, where she appears, but only in a blacked out silhouette.
