it'll be interesting to see how this series gels with readers who are too young to know G1.
One of the hardest selling points for this comic will be people picking it up thinking it's "G1 continued" when it's not. (They're after Dreamwave's Transformers #1 in it's "G1 cartoon pilot sequel" sense).

There's a lot more people who remember the cartoon than remember the Marvel comic. A lot of people grew up with G1 in 80s and never read the comics but almost certainly watched the cartoon*. There's plenty of members here who are young enough to have missed the comic altogether but did see repeats of the cartoon through the 90s, and had easier access to buy the DVDs than to buy the pricey reprints of the comics.

As I said in my post, I don't think is a very engaging comic for free comic day. They'd have been better off with something TF:Prime related. It's appeal with mostly (solely?) be for the Marvel comics fans.

(*as a side note it would seem that most of us who've been in this mad game for the long haul were fans of the comic back then too)
