As has been noted, it has now been admitted that it's a joke. In their admission, FP also announce that the actual comic is by Don Figueroa. The real preview will be up tomorrow. www.transformersclub.com/

I thought Don had decided to give TF's a miss for a while.

Oh bugger, very nice art it will be Im sure but it will be serious and overloaded and, I cant bring myself to say it,.......... .. . epic.
And the story will be just as epic.

I thought Don had decided to give TF's a miss for a while. He could be doing this as a favour for someone - and with these coming out once a year, he could've drawn it yonks ago.

What's going on? First it was a normal looking comic then it had 'April Fools' written on the final page and then said caption vanished again. Something mysterious is behind this comic.

Very glossy of course and cleaner and generally nicer than last years to look at and probably read, but its back to indifference for this set, at least until the april fools version gets completed, hint, hint!

Everything I said about the Fools strip being naff? Goes double for this, only it doesn't have the excuse of being so deliberately. BAH.

Oh dear me no. It's the same turgid bollocks we were expecting before- it's just a bit more comprehensibly laid out this time. If the original creators don't step up to the plate then I'm sure the fighting men and women of the Hub will step up to the plate.

Just caught up on this, I loved the April Fool version! The actualy version looks, well, I'd need to see more of it to judge realy (pants in other worlds).

What a mess, apart from the panel about the moustache, which while not funny, was at least so horribly out of place to at least catch my attention.

Apparently the guys who did it are shocked that people like fun comics.... right. Okay.
They are now saying they will do something with it, but dont think it can be done beyond a 10 page story. I think thats bollocks. It just needs a half decent plot to work with it.

While walking Susie I brainstormed with Ralph and came up with a half decent plot!

No I just uploaded the old version minus the cruel announcement that the comic wasn't genuine in order to make people happy again! Andy

My first reaction, from page 1 caption 3, was "yeech, dreadful script". Then page 3: "yay, evil goatee!" Such utter turgid bollocks. Art is nice enough but good god that script is awful. Andy

Also, the "young and noble Decepticon will stand up and fight for freedom" should be either Waspinator or Sky-Byte. Or both. Also, the TF wiki has an entry on the April Fool's gag, summing it up with:

Except that last bit. I like James Blunt.
(As an aside, why has Ming in the new TV series got no goatee? That's just wrong.)

He doesn't have a goatee in the new one because the creators HATE FUN. Maybe.

I love that last version. It's better than anything Fun Publications has ever written in their entire career. ;D

Well it's excellent. For some reason 'Damn you Terminal 5' made me laugh the most. Please spoof the rest of the comic when it comes out! Or failing that, any other Fun Publications comic.
Lettering also good.
