Just noting that another two TPBs have been delayed in the last month...

-- Transformers Robots in Disguise Animated: More Than Meets The Eye (2 episodes) – August 2nd (was June 28th)
-- More Than Meets The Eye Volume 10 (issues 50-55) - September 27th (was September 13th)

[GoktimusPrime]

What's an "unfurrels"? :confused: (not a facetious question, I genuinely don't recognise this word)

[griffin]

I saw that and guessed that it was just a spelling error for the word unfurl, which means to his secret plan being fully revealed (like unfurling a map).
I thought you'd be used to their spelling errors and typos by now... :p

[griffin]

Just added in the Revolution comics, as I just found that they start in September and are the crossover story between Transformers and other IDW comics, but wasn't included on the TFW news page.

[griffin]

It's still a whole month away, but IDW have released a preview for issue one (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/08/11/idw-revolution-issue-1-preview-321500) of the new Revolution comic, to be out in comic stores September 14th.

They have also released the full issue 0 for people to read, from their online store here (http://www.idwpublishing.com/product/revolution-prelude/).

[Gouki]

Well its been fun IDW, but I'm really skeptical about this whole Revolution nonsense.

[GoktimusPrime]

So skip it and keep collecting the regular TF comics? I skipped most of Infestation (only collected the issues which were published in Transformers).

[Gouki]

I have absolutely ZERO interest in any of the properties involved in the universe outside of Transformers, and I really have no problem testing out a few issues and abandoning Transformers comics yet again if the quality is no longer there (left IDW during AHM until MTMTE, except for Last Stand of the Wreckers, maybe a couple of spotlights) and comics are expensive. I have plenty of other comics to fill the gap.

[XMan]

War Within came early, picked up mine last Thursday. I never got to complete the original run so I am super excited!

[i_amtrunks]

Won't be buying anything crossover related unless it comes in a future exRiD trade.

Bring on December when MtMtE returns.

[Gouki]

War Within came early, picked up mine last Thursday. I never got to complete the original run so I am super excited!

Is that art as dark as it was in my old TPBs (dark in a "hmm, this is hard to tell whats happening", not an "oh, it's so scary and grim and gritty")?

[XMan]

The March release of Armada did suffer from the darkened panels - is it a printing issue? Though happy to say the art in the War Within Omnibus is beautiful and vibrant :)

[griffin]

Out this week for Transformers (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/15/diamond-comics-shipping-list-21-september-2016-324838) is the fourth issue of Till All Are One, plus the first issue of the Revolution crossover comic, along with the first issue of ROM (part of the new shared universe).

Previews can be seen of the Revolution (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/19/idw-revolution-1-first-five-pages-325049) comic and TAAO issue (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/17/til-one-issue-4-full-preview-324945).

[griffin]

A massive combined image of the Revolution covers (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/20/revolution-1-indonesia-comic-con-variant-cover-325113).

And an exclusive cover for Revolution Issue 1 (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/20/revolution-1-indonesia-comic-con-variant-cover-325113)... for Indonesia(!?!).
Of all places, Indonesia has a Convention in two weeks time, and IDW appear to have provided an exclusive comic cover for them.

[griffin]

Just updated the list of upcoming TPBs, which covers up to February.

Also, the next three books to be released have all been delayed, again.
The 10th volume of MTMTE is now a month delayed, and the Hardcover Phase 2 Volume 4 is almost 2 months delayed now.

[griffin]

Out this week should be another double dose of the main Transformers comics, with MTMTE #57 and Transformers #57 (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/21/diamond-comics-shipping-list-september-28th-325166).

Plus, a preview for the MTMTE issue is mirrored here (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/23/meets-eye-57-full-preview-325221).
