This is awesome news! :grin: :APPLAUSE: With the exception of Infestation, Heart of Darkness, and maybe Chaos(I'm only an issue in), IDW TF comics have sucked for a very long time. The main reason I stopped buying comics for so long. I'm in the same camp as some others, hopefully G2 isn't ignored(I absolutely loved that series). Maybe we'll get to see the rise of Jhiaxus and his G2 Decepticons. How awesome would that be?

Yea Marvel comics Prime is a KO. :lol:
I believe he stated that if this was going to be made that a big part of it was based around Prime dealing with his death, so maybe.

I believe he stated that if this was going to be made that a big part of it was based around Prime dealing with his death, so maybe.
but then when he becomes a Powermaster and bonds with Hi-Q, a metamorphosis gradually occurs in which Hi-Q's and Optimus's minds begin to merge into the same being. So after Optimus dies again in the battle against Unicron, with only Hi-Q remaining alive, the Nebulon scientist had essentially become Optimus Prime. So, at that point, Optimus was a fleshling... until the Last Autobot created his new body based on the design of his Action Master toy. ;)

jaysus i go offline for a week and all hell breaks loose on the comics front !

:)

brilliant , BRILLIANT news.

im so looking forward to this. if were lucky and sales are good enough it could even become a third ongoing .

with this and james roberts being put on the second TF book alongside barber im literaly in heaven.

this is the best news on the TF front for ages IMO.

Fair play to IDW for taking a chance on giving the fans what they want. i hope it pays off for em comercially so we can all be happy !

man this has made my weekend.

Looks like we will finally find out what happened to the Neo Kinghts too.


Optimus Prime said they'll be taken back home on the last page of #80.

Thats their story told. We don't need to see 40+ year old Jose Beller wearing her old Circuit Breaker outfit.

So? I don't see how that would change him being a copy, or having to deal with his own death.

I;'m simply adding to the fact, over time, he becomes less and less the original Optimus Prime that he was to begin with. He starts off as a robot, then a copy of that robot, then a Nebulon human who says he's that robot, then a new robot made from that human who claimed to be the copied robot of the original robot. At this point, we might as well call him bob for all we know. :P
