It's not just you. I actually enjoyed it.
I do want puncing and shooting, and yes...transforming. But all of that has to serve the story. Just like an all dialogue issue.
I dont think anyone really minds all dialogue issues. The best TF comic of this millenia is an all dialogue issue : https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... era/42653/
This comic is nowhere near a James Roberts all dialogue issue.

I made an account to vent and give my two cents on the issue.
IDW 2005 wasn't perfect so stop acting like it was. Is it better than this? Of course, but that's like comparing the acting ability of an eleven-year old up-and-comer with Robert Downey Jr.
I miss James, but I miss Elegant Chaos, Chaos Theory, Remain in Light, and just pre-Dying of the Light James. So basically pre-Revolution where everything went to crap in all corners of IDW because of bad editorial and higher-up choices.
James, as he's said, is done with Transformers for now so we need to get over it.
Now onto the issue: I liked it. Gave me Exodus flashbacks with the two being friends. I find the art nice and reminiscent of the early Windblade issues(idk if same artist), and the scene in space? I loved it. No, nothing will beat Chromedome reuniting with Rewind, but that had years of build up.
Yes, I think perhaps following up with useless character--I mean Rubble's(hopeful) death would have been the best way to go, but to me this is nice. Yes the first few issues were slow, but it could be said that slow is better than fast-paced non-stop events going on in other comics*cough*Marvel*cough*. The art was better, we got some backstory on Orion and Megatron, we got some more lore with Codexa and the Nominus thing.
Not much they could do with their relationship that hasn't been done, guys.
Brothers, Bayverse. Strangers, G1. Acquaintances turned adversaries, IDW 2005. Friends, Aligned continuity and Exodus. Not much to do. At least they're keeping things familiar with Archivist and Miner/Gladiator.
Yes, I think past issue one has been very, very slow. I blame that on a useless character--I mean Rubble's prolonged existence, but that's just my invalid opinion.
I personally liked issue six, and would love for this to turn out somewhat like Griffith and Guts relationship in the anime "Berserk." Not...entirely like that, mind you, but the same feeling of brothers turned hated enemies due to clashing ideals and one's overwhelming desire for power to help bring about their dream.
I think this will be a slow trek, but a worthwhile one. People always wanted peaceful pre-war Cybertron and I've seen people always wanting to go over the entire fall of Cybertron. This will be long, but I think that payoff of Orion and Megatron turning into enemies will be worth it. We just need to endure with the literal universe-building the man is doing and appreciate that Nautica is now a mainstay.
Okay, I was just making sure. I don't care for others' opinions to be forced on me in general, that's all. Maybe I missed something...?william-james88 wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:That's your opinion, certainly not fact.william-james88 wrote:The best TF comic of this millenia is an all dialogue issue : https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... era/42653/
Of course, that's written in the begining of the article. Since when can anything taste related be factual?

This isn't a 'hair', it's a major problem. Don't be so dismissive. It's insulting.
The only way the 'captive moon' would work is if they used gigantic anti-gravity generators, as per the Cybertron mould in the previous continuity. If they do this, why bother with a tether at all? The anti-gravity could do the job infinitely better.

Not to be difficult or insulting, but why wouldn't it work in an advanced technology civilization (to put it mildly)?
It's science fiction indistinguishable from magic. It works because they say it does.

That IS Shockwave in Voyager scale. Yeah, he was sold as a leader due to all the extra crap that came with him, but the figure itself that this rendering is based on is a Voyager sized figure.00Stargrave00 wrote:That looks AWESOME![]()
I love his Shockwave pistol I want that thing. If ever they did Shockwave in a Voyager scale this would make way cool box art. Always love Shockwave news - thank you sir!
I see what you mean. Yeah, I wouldn't have minded that either. I wouldn't get it now, since I already bought the 'leader' version, but I guess you can try having the small Shockwave that came with the MP figure and see if that works, or maybe the CW legends one.00Stargrave00 wrote:Oh for sure I meant if they stripped down all the leader armor and just released him with like a mini Shockwave blaster. I think that would make so many fans happy. I’m fine with the leader class I’m probably of the minority who dig the Doctor Shocktapus look
