Furmans IDW was an "Ultimate Transformers" - it had a lot of hard-to-analyze layers, and a lot of subplots, but you knew the series were advancing on each of them. It had the good old characters, written by those who knew how to write them. For me, that universe ended with Furmans Mosaic and Roches Wreckers.
What happened after that (AHM, Ongoing) has too much holes in it to be in the same universe for me. That's a new IDW-verse, that started mocking Dreamwave and the 80's cartoon, and lately went to use modern-era Marvel/DC (such as using real-life references (Kim Jong Du???), "nobody dies" effect) and Bayformers elements.
After the 29 issue-worth of bad writing, I doubt the IDW-verse could be brought back to the peak.

It could, if they bring Furman back and only if he ignored everything since Devastation, save for Last Stand of the Wreakers. Then he would only have to rewrite Revelations the way he originally intended to, and then continue with Expansion.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

If only...
At ComiCon, Andy Schmidt said they hadn't forgotten about Furman. I hope they also realise Furman is needed on their G1 line, not the Bayverse stuff...
