The Random Transformers Thoughts Thread

What? The Keeper trilogy? Oh Primus that first book was bad. So bad.

I only got about halfway through Exodus but at least it didn't feature gratuitous graphic descriptions of humans being killed by giant robots.

I may be the minority that liked them. Don't have the third book though.

Did you read all 3? The sequels are less human-death intensive.

And I think it was quite interesting to show just the kind of collateral damage and even accidental loss of human life that TF fights on earth cause

I've heard that the second and third books are better (and different author I believe) but book one was enough for me.

The collateral damage angle could make good fiction, but I was put off by the first book where I was reading something that thought explicit violence, swear words and sex made it an "adult book". Not to mention the sloppy editing.

I think I saw a MP-11 Skywarp sell on Ebay for $US599.

This is madness!

I'm in the same boat as Paulbot. The first book was such a pain to read that it put me off reading any more.

Proof that some people have more money than brains.

Jazz has certainly seen better days

Well id recommend you both read the second and third books as they are much better and all 3 make the Aligned novels look even worse than they already are, but it's a moot point as they have been out of print that long you'd have a bugger of a time finding them anyway

I bought Book 3 from a clearance bin many years ago. Just because I didn't like it didn't mean I didn't buy it.

Unless i am wrong, the Autobot army, including all the japanese g1 transformers and those introducsed in the IDW books is 185 characters.

Not a huge army.
