Transformers IDW discussion thread [SPOILER WARNING]

[FFN]

Got to

SPOOM!

I'd love to know that too.
I should probably know this but i havnt been reading up on comic news lately- why was the series trimmed down in the first place?

There are plenty of posts about this in other comci threads, so I'll be brief:

Sales were not what IDW had wanted, they were constantly dropping, I think they were down to the 15,000 or so.

So All Hail Megatron was pitched and accepted to take the place on the "-tion" series as the #1 Transformers book by IDW.

Exactly, and Furman's story, being pretty complex, serialised (you needed to have read since Infiltration to fully understand it), and the fact the characters weren't written like their most well-known classic G1 personalities likely contributed to normal comics fans and more casual TF fan not picking up the books. People like the safety of familiarity and simplicity, it seems.

Hence All Hail Megatron.
