I agree, plus the faces made up of multiple compnents make more sense than the stretchy rubber ones of G1. However when I read a G1 comic I want it to have a G1 asthetic including the more cartoony elements, trying to mix toon and live action to much just looks wierd.
In any case, although Nick Roche's new Kup story was good, that alone is not enough to make me regain my love of Transformer comics. I remain skeptical of this ongoing series.
