No it's not. Anything Roberts wrote after issue 40 of MTMTE.
Strongly disagree. I'd sat it was the Furman stuff, and HAM, but even those I enjoyed.
Everything from Megatron Origin til Maximum Dinobots (or the Revelation Spotlights? I forget which was last)was outstanding. Last Stand of the Wreckers was also fantastic. The quality in IDWverse dipped significantly
After Furman.
AHM was Sunbow: The Comic! Which was both very dated and completely out of place in IDWverse.
The Costa Run: A trainwreck
Heart of Darkness: "WTF!?!" x 1000
Infestation: pure Editorial Mandate Tie-in fodder
CHAOS: Megatron Fanfic
DoOP: Optimus Fanfic
RiD and MTMTE/LL: I haven't read enough of to judge them above 'average' but, we've had a lot worse than a writer's dip in quality prior to these series from IDW. Context and perspective are key, after all.
Again, I'll state that AHM is the only good thing IDW has ever done. The Furman stuff was terrible. Still don't know why people seem to think he's a good writer. The ONLY good thing he ever wrote was Dreamwave's War Within.
Costa wrote better and his stuff was GARBAGE.
These books could have had such promise if they had actually bothered to write the characters better and actually stuck to at least their core personalities. But they didn't. They ruined Prowl, they ruined Jazz (hardly even using him which should be a crime to begin with given how awesome he is), They ruined Megatron, they ruined Shockwave, they ruined the Dinobots (smart Dinobots is the dumbest idea ever). They ruined Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Kup, Blaster, Jetfire, I mean the list goes on and on....
This reboot, with any luck, will fix this crap.
