Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

If it will be 44 issues in each, I think it'll be 1-80 plus the HM series and the 4-issue crossover with G. I. Joe. But both of those take place before issue 44, so if they put them into the 2nd compendium it will be chronologically out of order. HM takes place between issues 37 and 38, and the Joe crossover happens during the issues numbered in the 20s.Glyph wrote:I take it from the numbers that this will be the US series only, and probably just #1-80 with maybe some back matter, but putting 44 comics into the first collection would leave room for Headmasters + TFTM at a total of 87? (Heck, throw in another four issues for TF:Universe, why not)
I hope not. It would be great to get them as they were originally, like Titan did. Purple Soundwave FTW.The question for me is whether they're using the IDW demasters for this, much as the Rhino versions of the G1 cartoon became the 'standard' copy.

IIRC only issues 50 and 75 are double issues. That would account for only 2 extras.

A few issues in the later half are double issues, hence why you have 44 in the first compendium instead of 40.
Sequencing aside, I wasn't sure if they'd be licensed with the TF comics or separately, or would have said that would be my expectation too (HM + TFvGIJoe). But since the same company is also putting out GI Joe compendiums, I figure they can fit them in somewhere?Rodimus Prime wrote:If it will be 44 issues in each, I think it'll be 1-80 plus the HM series and the 4-issue crossover with G.

Marvel UK guy here, so he's always been blue except in the weird strips with the rectangular speech balloonsRodimus Prime wrote:I hope not.

I suppose they could go with G. I. Joe instead. And that brings up another point: what about G. I. Joe issues 138-142? That was another crossover leading up to the Transformers G2 comics.Glyph wrote:Sequencing aside, I wasn't sure if they'd be licensed with the TF comics or separately, or would have said that would be my expectation too (HM + TFvGIJoe).

To each his own. That's what you grew up with, that's what you consider the original. I've read the UK comics online, and I really like some of their exclusive stories I never got in the US comics, such as Legacy of Unicron and Time Wars. But I never cared for Geoff Senior's style, and I prefer the rectangular speech blocks as opposed to the bubbles. I always thought bubbles only belonged to humans.Marvel UK guy here, so he's always been blue except in the weird strips with the rectangular speech balloonsRodimus Prime wrote:I hope not.

Well, yeah. Back atcha, hence the winky-face. But I will hear no Geoff Senior slanderRodimus Prime wrote:To each his own. That's what you grew up with, that's what you consider the original.
I find it an interesting one to ponder - in general, I feel the originals should be reprinted as they first appeared, preserving editorial & art choices made at the time; on the other hand, I don't have a problem with correcting actual errors, especially minor ones that don't impact the overall look & feel. It's a tricky line to draw and will vary for each reader, I guess. Also depends on whether it's sold as a 'reprint', 're-release' or 'remaster'.Rodimus Prime wrote:To me the color "mistakes" and other oddities are part of the charm. Though Soundwave being purple I never considered a mistake. I always thought that color fit him better.
