Hi, once again, I need your help. Recently, I have downloaded the War Within comics series and I really enjoyed it, it even made me to like my WW Titanium much more. Can you give me some brief introduction to comics series available, which are a must, which aren't that great and so? You can omit anything from Beast era, I don't care about this continuity. Thanks a lot!

Oh, thanks! Could you give me some info on the IDW series? What are they about, are they good? And what are these spotlights about? I really enjoyed the rather dark atmosphere of War Within, so I'm looking for similar ones.

And, the Reign of Starscream and All Hail Megatron series, they are movie based?

Here's a guide and FAQ that I started writing a while ago.

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=13585

I havn't updated in a while so some of the info on the current crop of IDW titles is a little out of date and was based on what was known at the time. I still need to get around to working on the non G1 sections, but it sounds like you're mostly looking for G1 titles anyway.

To answer your specific questions above Reign of Starscream is a sequel to the live movie while All Hail Megatron is G1, set one year after the events of the forthcoming Revelations story arc.
