I am really tired of writers writing Transformers like they were ordinary people and not highly advanced transforming aliens. I mean, hangin' out in the bar getting drunk? Then getting in a bar fight with cadets? Cadets for what? They're friggin' robots! It's lazy writing in my opinion. And what's with Megatron? He has morals now? No. Me no likey. He should be a rat bastard. Some of you probably thinks this adds layers to his character but to me it's contrived and unoriginal. Darth Vader anyone? It would be much more interesting to me if he was always an a-hole and just decided he was better than everyone else. Kinda like my neighbor. I like the art though. And the story seems to be getting wider in scope which is a welcome change. I just wish they'd stop writing the dialogue and settings as if they are just big, mechanical humans, especially on their home planet!
So what your saying is that regardless of the faction, the Transformers are mindless machines that have been programmed for a specific job? Oi, you're gonna have to watch every single series all over again...

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

Optimus Payne wrote:And by the way I have been watching and collecting G1 from the beginning, and while each bot has their own distinct human-like personality, their CULTURE has always been different than ours. IDW just seems to be making Cybertron and interchangeable city on Earth (with a very western world feel at that).
If you want a more compelling look at what a technologically superior race of robots might look like then you have the Matrix trilogy.

BUT.
he is effectivly co writer as he's been given credit for coming up with the chaos storyline with costa which is why IMO issue 21 doesnt suck donkey balls.
i dropped the comic back at issue 8 when scrapper got offed by spike but im back on board for this one as roberts fingers are all over it.
also he's meant to be doing number "125" with barber so if you only want roberts stuff he's there too.
Convotron wrote:I really enjoyed issue 22. I hope we get more insight into the history of Megatron and Optimus Prime. I know James Roberts was handed the characterization of OP from Costa but I do find this version of OP to be less than compelling due to some of the dialogue and behavior of the character.
Stormwolf wrote:I think that this version of Optimus is one of the best, it's a great departure from the flawless 1 dimensional character we always get.
Making Optimus flawed adds to his character, it gives him options to grow and overcome his flaws as the story progesses. I think that the current storyline will have this as one of its themes, Prime will eventually overcome Megatron and fight him with new resolve.
A "perfect" character who always has the moral highground gets boring after a while since the character doesn't need to grow and change.

IDW Optimus Prime wrote:Shut up. I don't have time to spar. This is the last time we speak.

Blurrz wrote:Sorry for going off tangent here, but can someone who's more knowledgeable in the IDW-verse explain how Megatron and Galvatron are two different entities?
