Petition to Re-Commence Marvel G1 Continuity

Simon mentions he'd continue straight from #80 and ignore G2 as, in his words, "it was quite 90's"

Too bad I would have liked a proper G2 ending. An extension of the classic G1 comic would be awesome, though I do wonder wether they would A: Remember continuity this many years later and B: Continue using the same cast of characters rather than revert to Optimus and Megatron and co dominated stories. eg: More than just the usual G1 crew.

IDW have already started a continuation of the old MArvel Gi Joe comic written by Larry Hama so I would think that this would be on the cards for Transformers too. That said I noticed there are continuity eras in the new comic with a dead character returned, and some history missing, so It makes me wonder about these 15-20 odd year latter continuations.

Good idea though I will go sign, given current TF comics don't interesst me much.

Agreed, the current IDW comics are boring and dull. Kinda makes the Dreamwave stuff look very good.

I juts LOLed at the fact that someone called "Kevin Roller" wrote "If it doesn't override G2 then I support this". Hmm... I wonder who that is.

Someone with this head screwed on right..... wait what am I saying.

so, are there any more people out there interested in this?!? we have 1200 signatures on the petition, but that's hardly enough to even convince IDW to look at it properly I reckon!

An article on Newsrama website about the petition, and Simon Furman's thoughts on it and what he'd like to do with it.

The petition is currently at 1774, but IDW might not be interested unless they can reach 10,000... which is a long way to go (and a month old now).
