All Hail Megatron Issues 1 to 6 (Vol 1)

Its pathetic that people are still saying how much they don't like it, but they are always the first to buy and review or opinionate on it.

How else are we to know what the comics is like unless we buy it and read it? Unlike Japan, we don't have places like libraries, cafés, restaurants etc. where we can borrow and read comic books for free - so if you're interested in reading the comic you can either:
1/ Wait for someone else to buy it and read it yourself, then if you do like it, hope that it's not sold out otherwise wait for the TPB.
2/ Buy it, read it and form an opinion.

I don't think anyone here is collecting this series expecting to dislike it. I know I bought this series hoping to enjoy it, but finding myself somewhat disappointed. Now that I've started I feel obliged to finish it - read it all the way through and give the story the benefit of the doubt that once I've finished reading it the whole series that it will make sense and be more enjoyable. Who knows, the story might redeem itself in the end... I for one am reserving judgement about this series one way or the other until I finish reading the whole thing.

Thats the beauty of the TF universe, you can choose what you want to accept as canon because there are so many different TF universe's.

Unless official sources specifically state that it is within the same canon, which is what IDW and Shane McCarthy have said about this series on this very board.

I believe some of you are being a little harsh on AHM. Its like you're expecting a 120 page comic book series to have the depth of Tolkien's Middle Earth and the characterisation / social analysis of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mocking Bird.

Or maybe expecting it to be like other TF comic series that have come before... like G1.

This is one of the times where I can say the MAJORITY OF THE FANS taste in comics blows chunks.

+1 QFT. And I don't agree that a comic has to be "watered down" in order to succeed like this. A lot of Furmans' other series within IDW feature a lot of lesser known characters (like Skram!) yet I wouldn't say that those comics are worse than AHM (I prefer them). I don't know what the sales for those are like compared to AHM though.

AHM will win big bonus points with me though if they continue to make an attempt to make further character development with Thundercracker, something no TF writer has ever done before.
