All Hail Megatron Issues 1 to 6 (Vol 1)

[Hereticpoo]

Hnn, I didn't really want to reply to this one. But I need to....

This isn't true. For the majority of casual Transformers fans, the main continuity that stands out is not going to be the G1 Cartoon. The G1 cartoon ended twenty years ago. The majority of today's 'casual' Transformers fans would be too young to remember the G1 cartoon and would have grown up on Beast Wars or the 2007 film or Transformers Animated (all of which are better than All Hail Megatron or the G1 cartoon.)

My bad I should have said adult fans. Its what I meant.

Because unlike these casual fans of whom you speak, we've been buying Transformers comics for over two decades and we're not going to stop just because they've dipped in quality.

Lol thats why they don't bother appeasing you. You'll still buy it!

The problem isn't that All Hail Megatron is not as good as G1, the problem is that it is G1. It's a comic of antiquated Decepticons taking New York - the same thing Galvatron and the Pretender Monsters managed to do in a few pages in a comic from eighteen years ago. And unfortunately, after six whole issues, the characters from AHM haven't managed to do much of anything else.

Haha now the problem is because of G1. Do you realise how ironic that statement is coming from an adult TF fan?

Again, most adult fans never read those particular few pages. What should the character's be doing? The story's focus is Megatron. The point of the story is the the emptiness of the decepticon cause. The Autobots aren't able to do anything except reel in shock, and Megatron is consolodating and trying to give his existenece meaning. Wow, thats totally boring....

No, compared to Beast Wars; Transformers Animated; Masterforce; the G1 comic; compared to Transformers at any age, All Hail Megatron is flawed. But it's getting better and I've acknowleged that. I always say that I like everything that's happening on Cybertron (except Drift). And, hopefully, by issue #12 the comic will be completely praiseworthy.

Every Transformers story is flawed. But to say that AHM is more flawed than all of the above is a big call, even arrogant.
