Seriously, IDW need to stop using FF.net for their ideas. :rolleyes:

If the story ends up at essentially the same point at the end, just with Prime instead of Roddy, I'll be disappointed.
Hopefully Prime finishes Megatron.
Such a wonderful concept and just so pleased this is a thing actually happening.
From the interview you get sense the creative team are very much fans and get the importance of doing a story like this.
Can't wait to get my hot little hands on this...
Happy 30th Anniversary of TF:TM everyone. Here, have a book that writes a different ending for it...?
I thought you'd be happy to see a half-assed effort for the Movie Anniversary, so that it isn't just the BW Anniversary that's half-assed next year. :p
Since us oldies from 20 or 30 years ago aren't the bread-n-butter of Hasbro and IDW, getting something for both Anniversaries, no matter how insignificant they may be, is probably a good thing (mostly for their own marketing benefit than our benefit). They could have just ignored it completely like other series/eras that don't get commemorated at their anniversaries.
I'd like to see an Animated anniversary in 2018, but unless FunPub do something, I can't see Hasbro delving back into that unique series (in terms of aesthetics with the toys)... but that's sidetracking a little in this topic.
G1 fans can't feel shortchanged about 2016 when the entire Titan's Return line seems to be G1 toys; following on from 2015's Combiner Wars, which was full of G1 toys.
To me, the older fans are being well taken care of. Everyone else is out in the cold.
For more context since I think the TFTM setting is a coincidence not an anniversary celebration ("anniversary" isn't used once on the interview) this is one of five what if one-shots IDW are putting out next March.

All of the titles that make up this 5-week event have featured stories that have led to fun fan debates over what might have happened if a big event had gone another way, whether in past comics, TV series, or movies. So this is taking a big, fan-favorite moment and spinning that story in another direction to explore what could’ve been
The series, and the catalyst for the stories, are:
Ghostbusters: “In a world… where the Ghostbusters NEVER crossed streams!”
G.I. JOE: “In a world… where COBRA turns the table on G.I. JOE.”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: “In a world… where Shredder leads the Turtles.”
Transformers: “In a world… where Optimus Prime never died!”
The X-Files: “In a world… where young Fox Mulder was abducted by aliens!”
I like the premise of the Turtles one. I wonder if Shredder will be good or the turtles will be bad?
