And don't forget Figueroa's G1-moofie hybrid designs. Visual design continuity is just all over the place at IDW! :D
Wow... what a plug for Shadow Command Megatron. (<_<)

***potential spoilers ahead***
*deep.sigh* Just when I thought visual continuity was already stuffed up with IDW's G1... not only do we bounce back and forth between 'Neo-G1' and 'G1-moofie' aesthetics... now we've shifted from FIBRIR to FIRRIB. (-_-) I don't want to start up yet another stupid FIRRIB/FIBRIR debate, but come on... surely IDW could just pick one and stick with it. IDW have consistently been using FIBRIR -- now all of a sudden in #14 - WHAM - FIRRIB! It's FIRRIB both on the outside (Cover B) and inside of the comic book. Furthermore, Rumble is predominantly purple rather than blue, which is a direct reference to the way he was coloured in the G1 cartoon (although he is blue on the front cover).
Now had IDW started off with FIRRIB from the outstart, then yeah sure, it would justify the use of FIRRIB in #14... but to use FIBRIR for the past three years (nearly 3.5 actually), only to now suddenly switch to FIRRIB with no explanation... GRAAARGH!! Somebody give Andrew Dalhouse a kick to the janglies please!

This is one of the reasons why I have abandoned IDW comics. There is no consistency whatsoever, not even within the same series. Hard to get immersed in the fictional world when everything is in flux from issue to issue.
Not that I have read the issue, the editor should really take a good look at him/her self in the mirror for making such a aedile mistake
Art issues aside IDWs editting has been shocking for a few years.
But it wasn't just a random website. This issue suggested a lot more was going on that and the Decepticons were involved in all steps of the plan. The radio was talking to him? Well yes I think it actually was.Quote:

More blatant ignoring of design continuity with this one - as I've said before, look I don't mind that they're changing the aesthetic each issue (from Don's look, to Guido's took, etc) but the physical designs are now changing between issues - Starscream is now back in the F-22 Raptor body as designed by EJ Su for the start of the -ation series - it even flashes back to him battling Hot Rod (as from issue 13 when he was still in the MP Starscream F-15 Eagle body) with that look.
I should have said that I read TF Ongoing vol 2 and the Ironhide TPB. I wanted to give it another chance, even after all the bad reviews it has here.
Ongoing vol 2 is okay interest. As in the read it, then put it down and went 'hurmph' kind of interesting. Probably will not re-read this. And what's with the art? It says that Guido and EJ Su each drew stuff. Nothing in there seems to be of the quality of their past work - the illustrations look very little like what they used to produce. What gives, I wonder.
Ironhide miniseries, well is just a piece of sh*t miniseries (I don't think I want to say more or the expletives would flow).
Regarding the artwork, I read somewhere that IDW is basically being willingly bizarre - I read in an interview somewhere that they've essentially insisted that each artist not only use a different aesthetic but different designs too (whoever it was that did the art for episode 9 said that they'd gotten halfway through it and got told to start over using different designs)
doesn't make sense for IDW to be doing that, but who knows what these people are smoking there nowadaysQuote:
