What can we be sure we *won't* see in the new continuation?
Addendum: Are there any Transformers concepts that you dislike enough to purposefully avoid when you are writing a story? If so, can we have a few examples?
SF) Well, and no offence to Bob B, there probably won’t be another round of Interplanetary Wrestling, and the Car Wash of Doom has closed its doors for the final time, a sad victim of the current recession. But otherwise there’s almost nowhere we won’t go, no story thread we won’t pick up, IF (and only if) it serves the ongoing story. Sagas like Headmasters, Underbase and Return to Cybertron are defining in and of themselves, and the repercussions of those stories will reverberate through RG1. But I don’t want RG1 to be a backwards looking thing. So, often these will be nods or footnotes. Our plan is drive forwards with the cast and storylines we already had, and lace those into new storylines developed wholly for RG1. So a lot of what I’ll be feeding off is contained in my run (#56-80) on the US book. That was kind of where the momentum was at the end, and that’s where we’ll pick up.

I'm glad you're looking forward to this book, but to say that this book has art that is leaps and bounds better than what IDW has given us thus far is grossly inaccurate. It is also a huge disservice to artists like EJ Su, Don Figueroa, and Nick Roche, to name just a few, who are not just great Transformers artists, but they are skilled and talented artists, period. They are expert draftsman with dynamic composition, design, and storytelling sensibilities. It's too bad they get pegged as just Transformers artists because they are as good as anybody working on the X - books, Spidey books, or any other major franchise. It seems to me one of the conundrums of drawing the TFs these days is that if an artist is too "old school" and draws the characters as the stack of blocks they were in the '80's and '90's he pleases many of the older TF fans but outsiders see the work as simplistic and outdated. If a TF artist injects modern design sensibilities into his TF work and draws the characters as complex and sophisticated, older readers are repulsed by intricate TF design work and lump it into the "Bayformers" design aesthetic (as if that's a bad thing) or accuse the artist of not being able to draw (which makes a fan sound terribly uneducated).
