Both Transformers comic series, RID and More than Meets the Eye are on sale at Comixology. Individual comics are USD0.99 each except the annuals which are USD1.99. There's also a bundle offer for 62 comics from both series at USD49.99. Sales ends 30 June.
The first issues of MTMTE and RID are also free at the moment if you want to sample them.
The Death of Optimus Prime story that sets the scene for both series doesn't appear to be available in the sale (on the app anyway) but it is included in the MTMTE Vol 1 collection if you buy the series that way. Maybe in the bundle too? (Can't see that in the app.)
Hmm you're right. That issue is missing from the singles and from the bundle.
Bought MTMTE Volumes 1 to 3 tonight :D - Time to catch up on som contemporary Comic-based TF Fiction. :cool:
(I have got & read the entirety of ReGeneration One, courtesy of Sharky ;), but I regard it more as "old" as it's a continuation of the US Marvel G1 run :))
Another sale on selected TF comics on Comixology till 13th Oct. Not the 2 ongoing titles unfortunately but a number of mini series like Maximum Dinobots and the Spotlight series. USD0.99 each issue.
Until 17th Mar selected Transformers trades are on sale on Comixology. Most of are vol 1 of a series but of note they do have the Transformers UK series vol 1 for USD6.99.
More digital comics love for Transformers fans. On Comixology, there is 50% off IDW comics which applies to all Transformers comics. Good time to pick up some of the later issues of MTMTE, RID, Windblade, trades for Classic Transformers, minis, spotlights and more or any other IDW series like TMNT, Star Trek etc. Use the code IDW at checkout to make sure the discount is applied. Usually the very latest issue of the series does not apply. It does take you up to issue 40 of the ongoing series.
Only till 22/05. Now have lots of reading to do! :D
I wonder if this is a last minute cash grab before the new IDW app comes out and they move away from comixology powered.
Been purchasing books when on sale, this sale made me get a few more and I expect to get even more before the sale ends
Sale on Combiner Wars and related issues until 14th Sep. USD0.99 per issue.
If only the exchange rate wasn't so poor, I'd get some more
So i thought id purchase a bunch of CW and MTMTE and RID issues taking advantage of the sale. Also going to QLD for hols in a week so thought i could catch up on some reading at night when the kids are in bed :P
So.....the new comics were bought in the IDW app. I read them in comixology as it has guided view (IDW and Transformers app no longer support this feature which sucks)
I went to download them in comixology.....no new purchases present?....
Emailed Comixology. Explained the situation.
this is the response

Hi,
The IDW and Transformers apps are no longer powered by Comixology, so purchases
there will not appear in our apps. Sorry about that.
- Pat
It all just seems a little too hard to me. Am i wrong? am i missing something?
All i want is to purchase and read the comics digitally with guided view feature that im used to and have been using for years.
Do i just buy every issue physically again?
You'r not missing anything. There's plently of unhappy digital comic readers since IDW went and launched their own app.
I've not purchased a new TF comic digitally since the swap. Was going to look into on the weekend to pick up some of the RID issues I've missed.
Count me in the unhappy camp. I don't use guided view so no issue here but I find that the app is just a mess. I had quite a number of TF comics loaded up to the old TF Comixology app when I was about to go overseas in June only to find out they were all gone when the switch happened. Had to download a heap of TF comics the night before I left which was a chore in itself. Still haven't caught up on my reading with RID and MTMTE even though they are sitting somewhere in the IDW TF app... :(Quote:

the physical comics are getting expensive now as well IDW are always a higher priced product but when marvel etc include free digital download with purchase I find IDW is slowly slipping behind the times.. and like Paul I haven't purchased a new comic since they switched, same as I have stopped using comixology when they removed in app purchase.. mostly all I use now is the marvel app
cut my comic purchase down by 85% as comixology I would pick up a lot of older cheaper titles to check out and some of the obscure titles I just couldn't be bothered buying physically..
both changes have been disappointing for me
I just had all my comics in their place in the old IDW app, it had a user friendly store which was so simple to navigate, and there was virtually no 'work' involved in reading the comics thanks to guided view.
Now its a mess.
If its all a marketing strategy to get me to not buy comics digitally its going to work eventually. Im struggling with it all....
Small sale on a few TF comic collections till 21st Jan. Vol 1 of MTMTE, RID and All Hail Megatron on sale.

Looks to be a line wide sale on IDW titles at Comixology for 50% off when you apply the code IDW at checkout. There are some exclusions like not applying to bundles and latest releases but the code will work up to issue 56 for MTMTE for example.
To save more, check out the post by Paulbot on the HumbleBundle and pick up those books even cheaper and use this sale to get the more recent stuff and others.
Sale ends on the 17th Oct (US date I believe)
Weekend sale for selected digital trades. Good prices if you don't have any of these.

More TF digital comics for sale. The site says 50% off select IDW comics for Hasbro properties. This should include The IDW Transformer titles, GI Joe or even MLP for those who are keen. I also said "should" as the code does not seem to apply to TF comics right now so most likely a glitch hopefully as the sales page takes you to all the TF comics as well. Use code IDW at checkout and valid till 24th Feb, 11am EST.

These 50% of discount code offers generally don't apply to anything released in the last month or so, nor does it apply on already discounted items. Haven't used it yet, so can't talk to the specific TF glitch you note.Quote:
