[Tober]

i shoulda asked him what he thinks about the unofficial drift toy being made, but forgot

He likes it.

There's a pretty good interview with him here where he is asked that question and many, many... many more here:

My thought is "I need to go to the comic store"

I thought he was going to have a hard time wrapping this one up. He did so rather well although it's ending was reminiscent of another toon from the 80s. I was kinda suprised about the role-reversal of the seekers, that stuck out father than I would have liked, but at least it's justifyable. Glad to see a Transformers story arc without an altogether happy ending also.

All things considered I liked it alot, regardless of weather there is a #13.

I wasn't a big fan of it myself, the ultimate fight I waited 9 isues for was cartoony and lacklustre and the art was nowhere near as detailed as some previous issues. Although at least Spike's last remark was spot on.

Although one thing I realy liked was:
Thundercracker finally got some personality yay, and they made him interesting to. Drift are you taking notes?

But I realy hated it when:
And then they killed him

And so it is over, or the main arc at least, and I feel nothing. Totaly ambivalent about the future of TF comics right now.

+1!

i thought it was quite lacklustre with all their buildup throughout the whole series, it just fizzled

The very end of the issue with Sideswipe's discovery of Hunter would have to be one of the most single tragic events in TF history. First time a TF comic has made be want to cry since Scorponok died in G1 #75.

I wouldn't go that far, however It was certainly tragic, its probably just posthumous guilt but now it feels like Hunter was one of the more interesting Human characters in TF history, at least compared to the more standard hero man Spike.

I wish they'd gotten E.J Su to do those last couple of pannels though, I felt it could have used a few more Hr Gigerish details to make the impact hit harder and make it look creepier.

I'm sorry, but that issue was piss poor, and a terrible ending to a series that has wasted a year as well as destroying a very well constructed universe with set rules and guidelines written by a previous author.

The Thundercracker death seemed a tacked on effort that was meant to be a payoff from all 3 of his scenes in the previous 11 issues, that barely portrayed him as anything more than unhappy with the Decepticon efforts on Earth.

The Coda cannot save this train wreck of a series that reeked of Megatron's Master Plan.

And I am sorry, but Starscream must have had his thought modules destroyed to act the way he did, mere minutes after trying to take Megatron out, if that little speech of Megatron's is all it took to change his mind, why did Megatron not give it to him back in Escalation? Oh yeah a writer who knew what he was doing wrote that series.

If it wasnt for Roche's upcoming series, I think I would be done with IDW right now.
