Is there anything to look forward to as a Transformers fan?
>>152025993Noh
>>152025993Liege Maximo and Nexus Prime toys coming this year
I don't hate Kirkman's run but man am I sick of him reviving characters Jetfire's recovery could've been so much more special
>>152025993Nothing but disappointment and sadness
>>152025993the Re-re-re-re-re-rerelease of the same old G1 toys again I suppose. How many original remakes of Optimus and Starscream do you own?
>>152025993Outside of the monthly EU comic nope. Unless you're not a G1 fag, in which case there's nothing. Shit's dire. >>152026747Kirkman's stuck doing dumb resurrections because he wasn't tard wrangling DWJ properly while he was writing the series and just let him kill half of marketable cast to be like "muh 86 movie".
>>152025993The war
>>152025993The problem with Transformers being one of the cornerstone 80s toy properties means it will never evolve beyond G1 ever again. Nor will it have anything other than the main 8 or so characters in anything.
>>152026808This shit sucked lmao
>>152026808>Unless you're not a G1 fag, in which case there's nothing.The comic just started feeding Animated/Prime fans with Bulkhead, so there's some hope.
>>152026874Most properties are like that, though. Things like Beast Wars are the exception, not the rule.
>>152026808>Kirkman's stuck doing dumb resurrections because he wasn't tard wrangling DWJ properly while he was writing the series and just let him kill half of marketable cast to be like "muh 86 movie".You know that a franchise is fucking dead when something as boring and as mid as the DWJ run is considered "peak". >bbbbbut muh EisnerDon't care, if I wanted to read a boring battle shonen manga more interested in how many wrestling moves you can do per page than telling a story, I'd read some /a/ slop like God intended.
>>152026116not a real word
>>152025993The toys, maybe?
>>152026347Which liege maximo
Current comic is pretty good, but very g1, the toys get some nice ones out there but its mostly g1, the cartoon ended with a wet fart. Depends what the next one will do i guess
>>152026896#notmuhbulkhead if he's got the oversized chin instead of a proper bucket-jaw.
>>152026998The people who claimed DWJ TF was "peak" are people who never read a single TF comic prior. It was popular because it was simple action and had no baggage. That's literally it.
>>152026874TF used to reinvent itself constantly for its first 30 years; even when it began, Marvel, Sunbow, and JP-G1 all existed simultaneously and were very different from eachother.It wasn't until the 2010s starting with TF Prime that Hasbro decided they needed to "focus the brand" so that they could have a stronger grip on the IP, which's why everything we've gotten since has been, so... "evergreen".
>>152031956>instead of a proper bucket-jaw.Its a jaw guard if IIRC. I have the vivid memory of it falling once.
>>152026874Kids today aren't into this shit unless their dad gets them into it. They're into skibidibtoilet, which is what makes up the toy aisle outside of Gen x-millennial nostalgia.
>>152031966IDW1 was mostly awful and IDW2 was a shaggy dog story that looked terrible for most of its run.
>>152029816Satan himself
>>152026747I take dumb resurrections over DWJ killing people like urobutcherAt least beast wars stasis lock in Energon Universe is canon so everything can be saved as long as their spark is mostly intactPlus now that hasbro is literally streaming all of Season 1 is easy to see where kirkman is going with mankind allying with the autobots.If anything, It seems that Elita-1 will be the responsible for the cybertron-earth orbit incident and space bridge.
>>152032861>Implying IDW is all that existed before SkyboundNigger>Implying the Furman run, All Hail Megatron, Roche's stories, and Mairghread Scott run aren't some of the best writing in the franchiseDouble-nigger>Probably going to claim the Roberts' run's making a few robots gay makes it the worst thing ever despite it being the last original thing the franchise ever did, and the ACTUAL worst thing ever (Barber's run) being right therePreemptive Triple-nigger(Never read IDW-2 though).
>>152034445>>Implying IDW is all that existed before SkyboundNo, but the Marvel comics were also a mixed bag at best. I like some of them, and I even like G2 despite the obvious Star Trek cribbing from Furman, but it's not like they were resting unimpeachable on a pedestal or something. I don't think they're better than DWJ's run.>AHMMediocrity that established a bad precedent for IDW1 dropping balls in ill-conceived pivots. I wasn't in love with every aspect of the -Ation stories (art included) but AHM was a non sequitur and it's what people accuse Skybound of being, but with Drift. Because that was a good idea!>RocheLast Stand of the Wreckers is good.>ScottBy that point I think I had largely checked out.>RobertsMelodrama edging into anticlimax after anticlimax. The first part of MTMTE is solid, but even at his best I don't think he leverages what makes Transformers fun. It's just okay sci-fi from a guy that likes Doctor Who a lot.
>>152035310>despite the obvious Star Trek cribbing from FurmanWhy are nerds so obsessed with that shit? Even Star Wars got invaded by Trekkies.
>>152034445The Marvel stuff aged poorly, and All Hail Megatron and Mairghread Scott as examples of good comics? lmao.
>>152025993>watch transformers one this week>it's the best fucking piece of transformers media since the 1986 movie>not getting a sequel>they're planning more bayslop
