Starscream's Stars are brill. That would work much better. You could even keep #1-3 the same: then you've got an arc of the twins being irresponsible turbo-revvin' young punks and then Learning a Lesson. You'd have to change #4 but #5 can be mostly the same, just replace the two Decepticons with other guys.

The issues are supposed to have the lolly. If you buy a copy anywhere that doesn't have it, it's been nicked. That sucks. Or rather, doesn't.

It's coming in too late, but the main strip's now going somewhere and giving credible reasons for the Autobots turning on the twins. If the Decepticons spring them and they go on to abduct Sam Witwicky , of course the 'bots will be suspicious. Add that to a really quite cool cover, and it's a step-up. Will it be enough to keep the comic going?! (The letter's page is back to four pages as well, and works a lot better) #7's being advertised too, with an "amazing die-cut cover".

Can't wait to see the next issue for the cover. The main story was better this issue.
Good offer on sunscriptions - now each issue for £1.88 - but i just renewed mine a few months back. Newletter sounds good & hopefully have some good features in the future.

I think some of issues were edited but barring that I think we are up to date on the issues. I have all twelve issues of AHM but I have bagged them all up and can't be bothered to take them out again and compare them to the UK reprints.

I'll post a message on IDW forums - maybe the only 2 people able to look at the issues [which might just be writer & editor Shane/Denton] without wanted to end it would check how much is skipped.
Anyone wanting to raise money for children in need? could say read all #1-12 of IDW issues, nobody would envey you in doing it.

Have they missed out the issue with the Prowl Ironhide fight - or that in another issue?

Going from the tfarchive issues guide - in UK#6 we have printed AHM #4
All Hail Megatron #4
On Cybertron, Ironhide and Cliffjumper take down the watching observer, only to find it's Hot Rod. He and some others were shot down over Cybertron some time ago and have been awaiting rescue - he's so glad someone has received their distress call and come looking for them...
& first few pages of #5.
so that means we are likely to have it lasting out to #20. for #12 to be printed.

unless they do a couple of double sized issues every so often, then it should be fine

If #12 or 13 is double sized for more pages of the UK strip - then #17 doble sized for printing all off AHM #12.
1 All Hail Megatron 1 14 2 All Hail Megatron 2 16 2,3 All Hail Megatron 3 14 3 All Hail Megatron 4 13 4 All Hail Megatron 5 15 4,5 All Hail Megatron 6 16 5 All Hail Megatron 7 6 All Hail Megatron 8 6,7 All Hail Megatron 9 7 All Hail Megatron 10 8 All Hail Megatron 11 8,9 All Hail Megatron 12 9 All Hail Megatron 13 10 All Hail Megatron 14 10,11 All Hail Megatron 15 11 All Hail Megatron 16 12 All Hail Megatron 17

They said it would only go up to Titan #12. Unless that was an error and they mean AHM itself ran for twelve issues, that has to mean by now that stuff will be cut.

I can't remember how many pages where in UK#1 for AHM#1. But from the second line down to the one starting 16 - its the page count, # AHM, then UK # number at end.
So 15 pages - AHM#4,5 in UK#6 Next month it should be 16 pages of #5 in UK#7.
If #12 is double sized & they give us 28 pages of AHM [#8,9] then should be finished by #16.

Are you trying to say that AHM is going to last longer in the UK comic than what I had hoped?

Good story in side while eating the free sweets. You seen on the cover about airports. They could have done without the diecut bit on the top of the cover - it just damages the comic more. The hole in the bottom centre is ok.
The end of AHM #5 inside - next issue sound good. The end of the twins storyline in #8.
Doublesized - maybe 15 page story & all #6 of ahm.

That's a pretty clever cover design - nice to see some experimenting! The strip's a fast and fun forward f-moving thing, and yay Ransack's back yayyyy!

Ralph, you need to skimread this.
Because in his horrorscope, Starscream has said the rudest thing to readers ever.

Just read the end of AHM #5. How many pages are there without any text. You could rearrange the story to make it to fit in with Marvel line. Post in ahm thread.

perhaps after the twin story we can get to what i love best, alternate reality without the restrictions of further media being compromised (like with the old comic line and the "Decepticons won-verse"

Is the comic still going then? My Diamond rep led me to believe it had been cancelled after issue 4, now I'm thinking it may just have been dropped by Diamond, not the same thing.
Not too surprised by Diamond's move though. I don't know about other retailers but I was only ordering three copies in the end (from a starting point of 10). These were to ship to buyers in the States but the postage was an utter nightmare, sometimes twice the cover price, due to the lumpy free gifts.
I wish today's kids publications didn't feel they have to fill the cover with all manner of plastic crap to stand out on the shelves. I much prefer the situation 'back in my day' when free gifts were once in a blue moon and therefore special, but the real draw was the stories.
From the sounds of it this is where the current TFUK is failing. Overall though I'm finding movie comics are selling much worse than before. I now order in 16 copies of Tales of the Fallen compared to 40-50 of the previous IDW movie titles.
And there's no sign of Nefarious in the latest Feb solicitations... what could it all mean?
