Award winning...
That's funny, given how G1 both of those were.
Not really. They have their roots, yet the awards came when they broke away from them and did their own thing.
Given the evergreen nature of SIEGE, being the backbone of this new continuity, I am apprehensive we won't see any of the character reinventions/subversions IDWverse had when it first started, this time around.

I mean, Prime and the G1 cartoon are both focused on a small group of Autobots fighting a small group of Decepticons, localised on modern-day Earth. Most of Prime's characters are also very similar to their G1 counterparts.
Beast Wars is like G1 in a different way, the main characters and setting are very different but it actually has the G1 transformers in it and the Ark and Nemesis play very important roles.
I'm not saying they're identical to G1, obviously, but if you compare them to the Unicron Trilogy or RID01 there's a lot more G1 in them than there could be.

Small group in G1? There were like 30 autobots and like 20 deceptions all over earth and progressively got worse as seasons went on where characters were forgotten to the background got lucky to get one line sometimes.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

I dont think the point is for there to be anything new. Its just that Transformers is a hot brand and hasbro wants fiction out there. Cyberverse is G1 based storytelling, so are all current toylines aside from the movie ones, the upcoming netflix show will be g1 based, so the comics must be as well. And these comics are a jumping off point for anyone searching for more Transformers content.

If they are doing anything new, then it defeats the point of a reboot. If you end a continuity and reboot it, then it should be different not the same, otherwise you might as well just continued with what you had.

It's new enough. We never did get much of the autobots and decepticons pre war. A familiar story, sure, but this is the stuff that was only hinted or in flashbacks in previous series. Now we actually get a story about it. And it being a reboot means they dont have to worry about retconning anything in an existing continuity. I dont see what's so wrong about anything here, nor do I see how anything here is surprising. We've known they were doing a G1 themed story for months now.

A NEW ERA DAWNS! In the infinite universe, there exists a planet like no other: Cybertron! Home to the Transformers, and a thriving hub for inter-stellar commerce, it is a world brimming with organic and constructed diversity. Immense structures line its landscape. Mechanical giants roam across its surface. Starship-sized titans orbit its skies, keeping a constant protective watch above and below. Ancient Transformers merge into its very fabric. Small, mysterious creatures skulk in its shadows. It is a truly amazing realm, long untouched by war, and exuberantly reaching for the stars. This is the Cybertron that Optimus Prime and Megatron vie for in this bold new origin-a world of seemingly endless peace! All that changes when Bumblebee and Windblade take a newly-forged Cybertronian on his first voyage through this world of wonders-they are confronted by the hard reality of the first murder to have occurred on Cybertron in living memory!

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!
