John Barber is New IDW Editor-in-Chief

The modern comics universe has had such a different take on G1, one that's significantly represented by the Generations toys, so they share a forum. A modern take on a Real Cybertronian Hero. Currently starring Generations toys, IDW "The Transformers" comics, MTMTE, TF vs GI Joe, and Windblade. Oh wait, and now Skybound, wheee!

I thought the same thing when Wheeljack was killed off in the FCBD Unicron book. Does it matter? Everything will be reset in a few months. It does make me wonder how much dramatic impact anything in the Unicron storyline will have. It will be interesting to see.

I tend to think that the reboot is going to be IDW having a chance to do a gotterdammerung story with "Transformers". It is easy to be jaded about stuff like that, when DC has a hard reset every 5 years. But, IDW has had the license for over a decade. And, even with "Re-Generation One", this is only the second proper "end of a series" that TF has had as a franchise.

I take it you haven't been reading Optimus Prime? Shockwave recently was revealed to have survived the events of Dark Cybertron in issue #17 and #18. And the previews of Unicron #0 shows Bumblebee will be back in the physical realm for that storyline. I believe we'll be seeing how that happens soon...
So yeah, turns out I just hadn't picked up these issues when I posted about this. I'm up to date now and even managed to snag Unicron 0.
