In the early Furman books and across AHM, he was portrayed as offering something more. A real alternative. I still fondly recall, Blitzwing and Astrotrain (?) reviving him b/c of Megatron seeming to be too obsessive.

The humans were okay. Tolerable at best. Personally I think the human element has been a fail at IDW. Verity and co = suckage. Spike = suckage. The last time I cared for beings and TFs was Budinsky's run with Galen/Spike as Fort Max. That said, 1 average win from 7 is hardly a great strike rate. The book's still been dropped. I just had to pick up #7-9 last week as courtesy to my retailer who I have a standing order with.
It will be interesting to see what you say once you've read #8... Will anyone stick up for #8?
