Transformers IDW discussion thread [SPOILER WARNING]

Got to order Sideswipe from Kings online store thing today. (plus the Animated comic).

Didnt even bother checking out Phantomzone at Chatswood, they sell out of issues of the main IDW books, and none actually make it to the shelves.

I was at Kings on last Thursday and there were 3 copies of the EJ Su cover left (I bought 1). There is a stack of around 15 or more issues of the Nick Roche cover though. Don't think you'll have a problem securing it in any case.

The plan was to get all of Su's lovely covers, but a mate nabbed me the Roche cover for DoubleDealer (not that I mind, I've loved all of Roche's covers for this series), so either cover is fine by me.

With $3.50 flat shipping, it's cheaper for me to order online than buy a ticket to the city and drop in on my way home from work.

hmmm... that means that the comic is going cost you $11 total ($7.50 + $3.50). Kind of sucks that it has to be so expensive. heh.

Ordering a number of comics for me and a mate, so the additional cost is negligible.

So far the Magnificence McGuffin has a been a necessary evil, but I wonder if the Magnificence was used in Spotlight Hot Rod as a back-up device for Furman to use if ever this situation occurred? It would be mighty clever if he did. (then again he may have learnt his lesson from his G2 comic).

I'd love to know what Furman actually had planned before his series was trimmed down, if not a proper full story, just some dot points would be great.

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.
