    IDW's G1 is a completely different and unrelated continuity from Marvel's G1 and G2. IDW's G1 continuity started back in 2005 with their Escalation series - so that'd be a starting point if you wanna get into that. Although I personally much prefer Marvel's old TF comics from the 1980s and 90s over IDW. AHM ended quite some time ago dude.

    Or you could start with All Hail Megatron (which pretty much ignored the couple of years worth of IDW comics that came before it) and go from there to the IDW ongoing which continued on from the outcome of All Hail Megatron, and has been going for two years. The Wreckers series is a spin off from the ongoing.

    I'd recommend starting with Infiltration. It doesn't start real quick, but it builds up properly and after Escalation, Devastation and ends in Revelations (which I think was a bit rushed)...

    Actually, this is what I'd recommend.

    1. Dreamwave's War Within volume 1 (but only if you are so inclined)
    2. Megatron Origin
    3. Infiltration
    4. Stormbringer
    5. Spotlight volume 1
    6. Escalation
    7. Spotlight volume 2
    8. Devastation
    9. Spotlight volume 3
    10. Revalations
    11. Maximum Dinobots
    12. Last Stand of the Wreckers

    (ignore All Hail Megatron if you can; and definitely ignore the Ironhide mini-series)

    didn't it start with Infiltration?

    I'm not entitled to state my dislike that Classics Bumblee has a hollow chest? It seems that you've been trolling most of my comments lately. Pfft.

    Cos the English language was repeatedly raped changed each time different peoples invaded the Anglos. Jutes, Saxons, Normans, Vikings, French, Romans... bloody Romans! (what have they ever done for us?!?*)



    The IDW comics are IMO fairly light reads compared to the Marvel comics. It doesn't take long to read through a single IDW issue. I personally prefer Marvel's "chunkier" story where more stuff happened per issue... and for $1 an issue (as opposed to IDW's $6-7 per ish), it was better value for money!

    Oops, my bad.

    I'm still waiting for IDW to create a series where the Transformers, chiefly Perceptor, teaches readers about chemistry. It would be called Transformer Filtration.

    Question Unicron Trilogy DVDs

    Does anybody have the following DVD box sets?

    If so, can you confirm if they're legitimate licensed products or whether they're KO's?

    Also, what's the quality of them like?

    Eeww, dubs! <flees>

    I'm highly suspicious of the authenticity of anything with Chinese text on it. That's not to say that they're necessarily KOs per se, but there's a good chance that they are. Although there is a chance that they may be officially licensed too, I would remain skeptical until they're proven to be legit. It's just because China is just _flooded_ with KOs (since I've been in China I've only found 2 places here that sell legit TFs... in the majority of stores I've been checking out I've just found these).

    Some Toyworlds have them gathering dust on their shelves, so might be worth checking.

    There are also specialised stores like Minotaur and Alternate Worlds who might have them, but will be expensive.
