IDW Transformers Regeneration One 80.5 Preview Pages

5th May.

Two months to go..

The artwork looks great. Pretty cool that it attempts to continue the story line. Might have to pick it up.

I'm loving the art style. It looks very much like the Marvel comics just with a higher budget and more colors.

Jihaxus? So does this take place after Generation 2? Or does that no longer exsist in this universe

This is continuing from the end of the original Transformers comics, G2 Included.

Actually Inferno, I don't think thats correct. Seems like I read somewhere recently in a Simon Furman interview that G2 was NOT going to be included and that it would pick up with the events of issue #80 hence the 80.5 and 81 reference. I think some time has gone by (it may even be 2012 idk) Actually I think I read it on an earlier post here on Seibertron. Anybody else wanna jump in here to confirm that?
El Duque, CounterPunch, Rated-X, Seibertron??? Anybody?
I'm pretty sure I'm right about that because I was excited about this project so I've been trying to keep up with all of the news on it... I believe I read that Megatron would still be his G1 Walther PPK persona....not the green/purple G2 tank. And human characters like Circuit Breaker and G.B. Blackrock would be returning in some capacity. But then again, how could you let go of the Swarm plotline of G2?

Well, either way, one of us will be proven right in a matter of weeks now...

This is SO awsome, I feel like I'm ten again
As an adult looking back, I know the comic wasn't as good as say X-Men and other titles, especially by todays standards but it served as a very good contemporary piece of 80's Americana.
And I know there are gonna be HATERS that come out of the woodwork that complain about the artwork and crazy mythos but alot of you young'uns need to realize that this isn't directed toward more recent TransFans, its for those of us old enough to actually remember the original comics lol. Although I'm sure IDW will take whatever readers they can get moneywise.

Yeah? Too bad, personally I liked some aspects of the G2 comics. Bah.

Wonder if they'll get to use Circuit Breaker?
