I know it's a lot of letters; but it's Christiansen, not Christensen.

The last comic I actually read from DW was War Within. I might start reading again. But I wonder if I would have to read AHM to get this ongoing series...

If the AHM TPB comes out, I'll pick it up probably. Though a lot of people said AHM was mostly ****.

...maybe Continuum will explain why everyone went back to 1984 alt-modes?

Is this about the Seekers? I remember them going from F-22s to F-15s for some strange reason (an "animation error"? LOL)

None of the Autobots save Wheeljack and Bumblebee had their "1984" modes (though their robot modes didn't look too much like the original selves).
