Should the G1 Marvel sequel: #81 onwards, make inroads towards Beast Wars?

[Hursticon]

Simon Furman has stated that with regards to the upcoming continuation of the US Marvel G1 continuity issue #81, whilst he wont be continuing on from G2 he won't be completely disregarding it either and as such, as he is on record as having said that he really wanted to do more with Beast Wars; what if he were to work towards building the narrative (hence cannon) around the Pax Cybertronia and the introduction of the Predacon and Maximal factions proper?

• What are everyone's thoughts on this progressive step?
• Would members be against such a story destination?

I'm not sure about continuing the line at all since it's beenout of print for so long, but it will help sell their new classics re-prints a dn give us somewhere to go when we get to the end of the re-prints.

as for it's direction, I would hope that they followed the plan that they had when they were originally writing it. with adjustments for modern understandings and sentiments of course.

I'm all for predacon and Maximal factions coming into play

I think it's a great idea. And G2 can't be ignored because it also ties in with Beast Wars - in particular the Swarm.

It would be an awesome thing if it does stablish 'seeds' that imply a continuation into Beast Wars but I would prefer if it sticks to being a good story first.

I think a book selling itself as being as Marvel G1 comic continuation really shouldn't touch Beast Wars. Maybe a few hints in that direction but they'd be shooting themselves in the foot by not focusing on telling a purely G1 story, just hopefully it's not a AHM-style "only 1984-86 characters count" type of G1 story. (And by the generally varied cast in Furman's IDW books I hope it wont be).

It would be cool if there were minor 'easter egg' type stuff in the scenery or even a line or two hinting something BW but yeah, it would not be very good if it takes over the 'G1 Marvel' feel of the comic.
