Hey, just read IDW ongoing #25 and have to say, it was pretty neat from Prowl's POV. He hasn't gotten this much characterization since the Furman days in any TF comic period. Looking forward to next year when the Marvel run is extended by Mr. F. himself. And then of course a soft reboot will happen in the main IDW-verse. I bet John Barber does Transformers Vs. Zombies or Old Man Optimus as a nod to his previous Marvel editing. Know what you mean about the comics. Hey, just read IDW ongoing #25 and have to say, it was pretty neat from Prowl’s POV.

That, my friends, takes mad skill. I mean seriously, Furman took ACTION MASTERS and made an amazing subplot involving Grimlock out of them. That, my friends, takes mad skill.

Seems like a waste of cross marketing. But what was "NOT the end" about it? Stepper saved the day and high fives were administered all around. What's "not the end" about that?

To move away from the perception that it's just a glorified toy commercial. They want to present the franchise as being more about the stories and less about the need to sell merchandise.
