IDW reprinting DWs Armada comic (IDWs Oct TFs comics)

[Paulbot]

1/ DW could still own the rights to the War Within designs and story etc. Being given the licence to reprint those comics doesn't mean that its contents becomes IDW's intellectual property .

There's several War Within designs on the Stormbringer cover so I'd say IDW/Hasbro own them and can use them if they wanted to. I'd be happy with just detailed plot summaries and line art.

They're more likely to write a story about Nova Prime and the Ark-1 mission rather than continuing the War Within.

They are, it was announced over the weekend.

Paulbot is correct. The designs are available to Hasbro. What isn't available are the stories from the third volume and artwork b/c the artists/inkers/colourists/writers haven't been paid for their work. Until that happens, which is most likely never since Hasbro doesn't want to pay a liability it doesn't have to and that's not even starting about liquidation procedures, we will never see the finished WW: the Age of Wrath.

Which means me will forever be =

War Within was in my opinion some of the best Transformers stuff ever.

Totally agree there. Should of been made into a cartoon.

Sweeet.

Ah of course. That's why they can use them for Titanium Series!

Yeah, so in the end same result. :/

That would only work if they made a toyline to go along with them - and not like Titanium Series, I mean a proper toyline. Ti Series make nice display pieces but they're awful action figures.

But as we know Hasbro instead decided to go with Animated. (-_-)

Yes it's nice to dream isn't it

I was having a look at the IDW Greatest Battles of Optimus Prime vs Megatron trade paperback in Borders and I'm a little wary now. That trade reprints an issue of the Armada series in very poor quality, it looks like colour photocopies of the original printed comic. I hope they find a better source for this reprint collection.
