For whatever reason it wasn't on iBooks, I just went and picked it up on comixology.

I got to agree with randomhero here. If this story was given to us before RID and MTMTE it would be great. But we have a higher quality of tf comics out now and this just doesn't make the cut.
Every character besides tidal wave has the same boring personality and make the same bad jokes. Hi, I'm angry and sarcastic. Me too. Me too.
Im just disappointed to see the wreckers story reduced to this.

I haven't read the rest of the content of this thread, but I'm just going to agree with this comment. I was really hoping for something on par with the Last Stand of the Wreckers story, and Sins has been a let down for me. I don't have any investment in the Wreckers, and I generally think they are a really overhyped bunch, but Last Stand was an excellent story, so I was hopeful that there would have been more of that here, and I haven't found it. I'd love to see there be some kind of penalty for Prowl being this really terrible, manipulative guy, but there isn't, and I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there won't be at the end of this series either. Most of the characters in his feel like another round of "hey!! It's that guy!! Cool!" and that is crappy.
I do like Tidal Wave though.

Calling it now: What ever Tarantulas did to Verity is going to turn her into an animorph.

We've seen some non-TV Beast Wars characters in this story, so what not? :KREMZEEK:

*mindblown*

I'd be down for that. Who'd it be for if it happens, I wonder? Arcee, maybe?

If that were the case, a titanmaster for Roadbuster would make more sense considering he has a need to get ahead in life now.

Who's getting toys, though?

The Minerva rumors are strong. Not saying Verity would be Minerva's head, but rather, that could make a base mold for a Stakeout which could then have a Verity Titanmaster.

All I really know is that this line is the perfect time for Sunstreaker with Onions.

Ya know what? That's perfect!

We get a Sunstreaker with Hunter

We get someone with Verity (which could be canon)

All we need is Jimmy to somehow get wrapped up in this (where'd he get to anyway)

And BLAM! We have the original IDW human cast in toy form as titanmasters!!!! :MAXIMAL:

We were expecting the last issue of IDW Publishing's Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers - from the mind and hands of Nick Roche with Josh Burcham - to hit some point in May. That was, obviously, not the case, so we did some investigating with the publisher, and now have a confirmation that issue #5 will be released on June 22nd! Refresh your mind on the issue below, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub here.

THIS IS THE END! Will PROWL get his comeuppance? Will TARANTULAS conquer all? Will any of the WRECKERS survive? It’s wreck and rule one last time, with everything on the line!

Me too. It's why I found a Transmetal Tarantulas on ebay. It's the closest thing to it.

Same. Ttransmetal Tarantulas was my first beast wars toy and still my favorite. i managed to get a complete one for pennies and its great to have him with my Classics figures next to combiner Wars Prowl.

Pretty sure I still have my transmetal Tarnatulas somewhere!

The Nick Roche train keeps steaming ahead as we wait for the final issue to his later this month, and we find out more or less what will be included in the collected edition of the mini-series. Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers TPB - solicited for this August - will include no new stories as Last Stand did, but will have plenty of extras alongside the five issues. Check out more info below, and join in the conversation on the Seibertron.com discussion boards!

Working on the backmatter for the Sins Of The Wreckers Trade. No new stories, we're busier than we were six years ago, but loads of unseen art, character designs, process notes, excerpts from the original outline and trivia. Sound alright?

Is there anything that you DON'T want as Wrextras in the trade? What annoys you in backmatter terms? What DO you like?

by **reVelske** » Wed Jun 08, 2016 8:54 am

What do I like? I'd like you to bring back my beloved Roadbuster you murderous poopooheads!

They're just paving the way for him to become a titanmaster, that's all :lol:

but really, I like Twintwist and Topspin and am not happy they died too, same with Stakeout. I really like them :MAXIMAL:

Same, there are so few remaining original Wreckers left to give them authentic Wreckers feel, and I've always been terrified that Whirl or Roadbuster die before the other did, because them apart with no chance of reunion strikes me as intensely wrong.

I agree with this. But the strange thing about IDW is that they've barely been seen together at all. and it was Roadbuster that removed Whirl from the wreckers to begin with. But I am hoping they don't kill Whirl either (yeah, he's in another story, but still the threat of death is very evident) :MAXIMAL:
