It's Simon, off course Gimmy will be in it.

I just hope they go with more traditional styles, instead of Pat Lee's Masrshmallow-formers

I have no idea WHY they think they need to update everyone in G1 and still pretend that it's G1. That's what the movie is doing. That's what Armada, RiD, Rnergon & Galaxy Force did too. Why do we need one more updating of the mythos? "Ultimate Transformers" would work perfectly well with the G1 designs.

 

Of course the lemmings who accept anything dished out to them (even George Clooney!) are sucking IDW's off in joy over this news.

 

Just do Generation One AS GENERTION ONE. If you don't have enough imagination to do G1 PROPERLY the you didn't deserve the frickin' license to begin with.

 

Tokyopop had put together the best proposal for this brand. They proposed to continue the cartoon continuity in such a way that they were in effect going to tell the stories from the 19-year gap between season two and TFTM. Nebulos enough to avoid copyright issues, but specific enough that everyone knew exactly what they were doing. (Basically, exactly wht DDP was doing with GI Joe & the Marvel canon.) They even wanted Simon involved.

 

Hell, even the DC/Wildstorm, Dark Horse AND Marvel proposals had offered the actual Generation One series. Why Hasbro choose THIS *edit* over those other proposed licensors when the movie was going to be telling the exact same story next year is beyond me.

a restart is preferable, especially with the movie on the way.  Ultimate X-Men did increasingly well with the release of the X-Men movies, Ultimate Spider-Man did as well with Spider-Man, and All-Star Batman & Robin is expected to follow suit after Batman Begins.  Comics like these are perfect for people who become fans because of the movies.  The problem with G1 is that it doesn't offer an easy "jumping on" point for new fans, it's very hard for them to get into it with such a far reaching, established continuity.  And besides, I'm sick of your basic "G1" and I'm looking forward to Furman and IDW's spin on this.  Oh, and DC/Wildstorm and Marvel weren't interested in the TF license, so why would Hasbro give it to them.  For some reason, they chose IDW.  And that's fine, it's better than no TF comics.  If you don't like the direction, then don't buy it. Simple as that.
