Virulina, leader of the Darkling Lords, has discovered that the Transformers are vulnerable to magic—and now she’s using that weakness to try and gain control of Cybertron and wipe them out! Leoric and Ironhide team up to stop her, but quickly find themselves facing not only the Darkling Lords, but all of New Prysmos itself!

Not as crappy as pipes getting stepped on and forgotten.
Or ya know..the Protectobots at least this death is explained. Magic yes but it wasnt one dude taking down a gestalt with one swing of a sword and then gunned down.
When I read it I said “yeeeeeeeah that’s gonna be fun when Springer finds out...”

BUT having said that I did put aside those feelings and....
I actually didn't mind the first issue on my 2nd reading of it.
So many characters have been offed in IDW transformers Kup really didn't bother me.
Although I did think Ironhide should've shouted to Tankor to fall back.

I’m my opinion and I’m being very opinionated I think a lot of the negativity is it’s happening in a book people didn’t want. A lot of the vocal minority don’t want other toys playing with their transformers and don’t feel it’s right to kill off a big name like Kup(again) in a book that people just don’t want and it’s just more fuel for the fire.

Yeah I can fully understand people were angry with the KUP thing, I'm so thick skinned over all the mass killing in IDW TF i'm just so nonchalant about it.
I should care because I like Kup LOL.
Yes true again nobody wanted the Visionaries introduction to be crossed over with the Transformers. The Visionaries really needed their own world built before it was brought down.
LE0KING - I agree and I didn't like how Prime Breakdown's fate in the series as it was done so cheaply...but Arachnid did have female character indestructible powers...

Well my problem is that Scott brought Breakdown in with a ton of potential. He was designed to be an interesting character, with a history as a second class citizen, who came to a new world to become the person he was meant to be. There hasn't been much time to build on that yet, but here he is, nameless thug #7.
If they kill him it will be just another slap across the face of the only writer who cared about giving idw transformers a future.

Oh, sorry, I fell asleep. That's 3 pages which have accomplished nothing whatsoever, neat.

I think that's the plan. UNICRON will kill everyone and then reboot!

Ever the optimist but I seriously hope any reboot is soft as I don't wish to return autobot vs decpticons again, at least not for another 10 years maybe? Going back to basics won't get us very far if we end up going in circles.

One being making Megatron an Autobot tbh at first I thought it was cool idea but not long term.
Posted by ZeroWolf on January 20th, 2018 @ 1:50pm CST
Also this could of been a perfect time to introduce the other megatron...the BW one, someone who shows what you can do when you really work at it.

If you want Beast Wars Megs, just buy Optimus Prime #15.

Yeah I can't argue with BW Megatron maybe playing a bigger role by now unfortunately we have Oynx Prime because of the Power of the Primes of toy push (i understand it's business) .
I don't think we've seen enough of the colonies and their own cultures. We should've seen by now BW Megatron get his hands (or teeth) on a copy of G1 Megatron's book.
Wreckerjack - to be fair to the preview pages they're transformers depicted on each page. Just dead ones.
Daniel Adkins - how do you know that's not T-Wrecks..

You can't just make up your own SJW bullshit and claim it's a toy franchise from the 80's. Although..that's what all this SJW media is about. Ruining much loved franchises (Star Wars, Star Trek, GI-Joe, M.A.S.K., Ghostbusters, Marvel superheroes, Doctor Who, most of everything else.) for far left political reasons. Nothing to do with making fun, entertainment. No, it's just politics, far left "Social justice" politics, all the time, over and over and over, until I throw up. I'm still waiting for Transformers vs Visionaries, but I'm not holding my breath.

Freedom of speech does not protect you from the consequences of being rude. If you spoke to your boss or coworkers like that you'd be fired instantly and the first amendment would not help you there at all. Secondly no one is going to listen to you or respect you if you call people names.

Oh you silly little dumpling. Freedom of speech? Yeah, okay mate. You hide behind that.
Sorry, but on these forums you don't have the freedom to go around attacking "feminist-transexuals". And that's what you did, your post was nothing but vitriol aimed at specific groups of people, in fact, I would say it borders on hate speech.
And then you come back and call me "dipstick"? Clearly you have no respect for staff members or the rules of the forum, so you get a warning.
Have a nice day!

Folks, you can stop reporting his post. It's been dealt with.

Check it out below, and take a look at other upcoming titles later this year in our coverage of April's book releases from IDW Publishing right here!
The clock is ticking! Leoric finds himself exiled from New Prysmos by Virulina, who Merklynn has named the new leader of all the Visionaries. Can Leoric and his loyalists save Cybertron from being totally changed into a new homeworld for his people? Should they?

Didn't you read the previous conversation between Burn (forum admin) and Transcendent30? Name-calling is not tolerated just because you don't agree with someone. Please remember that going forward.misfire19d wrote:https://mobile.twitter.com/nerkish/status/956379071939776517/photo/1

Don't bother responding, I think he's just a spambot.
And whether intentional or not, Kup's severed, corroded head is a nice homage to the Kup-like zom-bot head the Sparkabots found in the abandoned Wrecker base at the beginning of City of Fear, so at a glance this is hitting enough of the right notes. I swear I'll catch up someday...
Posted by Deadput on January 27th, 2018 @ 1:44am CST
Anyways, in comparison I actually like the Spectral Knights, they seem to be actually decent folk I like them better then the Joe's already.
But seriously screw Virulina and Wizard guy too.
