Spinning out of the hit miniseries New Avengers/Transformers! Meet Ramjet, a lone wolf Decepticon whose plans involve nothing less than the overthrow of Megatron himself! But is Ramjet the master schemer he believes, or just another pretender to the throne?

I've got two things to say about this. First off, whose bright idea was it to canonize that story within the context of the larger IDW verse. I had been willing to buy their excuse that it's of murky canon, with it not really taking place unless one wanted to.
Well, I for one don't consider it canon, which leads me to my next problem: whose bright idea was it to write a frakin' Spotlight issue involving the only character from that series who didn't appear before, and is not going to be appearing after?
*le sigh* I'll still buy it, but if they really think I'm gonna buy that stupid x-over, or even begin to think of it as canon, IDW's got another thing coming.

Josh wrote:honestly, there's really no references to the marvel crossover in the Ramjet comic. its just a spotlight that has him in it [who just so happened to have been introduced in the marvel books]
but its not essential to read the marvel stuff to read the ramjet spotlight. you can not consider the marvel stuff canon and get by just fine

I can. The original TF/GI. Joe X-over was mentioned several times in the ongoing series, even though it eventually fell out of canon. The five issues of GI Joe that lead into G2, however, are canon in that they lead into G2.
Loki120 wrote:Heh, good try. At the time, both G.I.Joe and Transformers were licensed through Marvel. So therefore, it wasn't an intercompany crossover. Intercompany crossovers are stuff like, Witchblade vs. Wolverine, or Superman vs. the Hulk, or the Marvel vs. DC.
And while G.I.Joe: America's Elite still possesses the same continuity as the Marvel stuff, they can no longer refer to those events since they don't retain the licence for Transformers. It's just simply ignored.

I've noticed alot of IDWs stuff trying to please past continums while elaborating said stories into there own. Any running theme franchise has to do that, less fall by the wayside.
