Thanks, Paulbot. I guess I'll have to keep following IDW's reprints to see if they get better. It sounds like they do with things like Dinobots vs. Predacons.

One thing I think the UK comicshad the advantage with was that they didn't have the constraints the US version did. The US one was the main marketing vehicle as Hasbro is a US company after all.Hence the drive was more to sell toys in more kid-like situations.

I don't necessarily agree on the art, Gok. UK was as ugly as UK at times. I think today's artists are far better. But as I acknowledge, art preference is a personal thing. Stories on the otherhand tend to be good or not.
