Petition to Re-Commence Marvel G1 Continuity

[Hursticon]

Courtesy of TFW2005.com, Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman have expressed interest in picking up where they left off with the original G1 Marvel Comic Continuity and have put the idea to IDW, see here and here.
There is now an online petition to IDW to take the pair up on their proposal, so head on over and sign your names guys!.

Wow, a petition that people are actually interested in signing and not just taking the piss! I sincerely hope this pans out (particularly since it's exactly what I suggested eleven months ago: http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=7579)

i would love to see this happen and with the sucess of the continuation of gijoe. why shouldnt it be explored...

[optimus1]

I see this as more likely to happen for Free Comic Book Day (if they havn't already said which comics will be available)

Hopefully though the G1 series does get a look in and ignores the events of the US G2 series.

Also added myself to the online petition

They obviously won't have time to make it before this year's FCBD issue anyway, but fingers crossed for 2012.

C'mon 2012 - 21 years since the end of the series (it was 1991 wasn't it?)

Heya, i don't get here often enough!!! awesome to see the links above!
we've got over 500 signatures but want more!

if you go to Simon's blog (simonfurman.wordpress.com) you can see a Q+A that I did with him recently and his answer to Q6 is what got this thing started. DecepticonsRule and I on the IDW forums couldn't imagine such a quick response!

That was the end of the US series. The UK series ended in 1992.

I got Facebook, but I can't access it from here. Hopefully Taiwan's internet won't be as filtered... otherwise it'll have to wait till I get back to AU. That and I can directly express my support to Wildman too.

So continuing where G1 ended... does this mean they're going to try to bridge G1 with G2 (e.g. explain how Megatron lost his psychic link with Ratchet, how Optimus Prime and Grimlock became "un-Action-Masterered", how/why the Transformers left Earth, or at least the Autobots - and giving their inter-galactic beacon to G.I. Joe etc.), or are they just gonna ignore G2 altogether? I'd like to see them try to fill in some of the continuity gaps between G1 and G2.

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