Has the IDW 86 movie adaptation been published in another book then? Why would they use the Bay film adaptation in a G1 series?

Sorry, misread Pinwig's post.
The upcoming Hachette book will be the Marvel and IDW adaptations of the 86 animated movie, no live action nonsense.

I may pick up that volume. Having both animated adaptations together in one hardback book appeals to me.

Think that'd really be stretching the title too far. I'm likely to bail at 100 even if it is extended again now we have the wrap-up of the IDW continuity.

I'd like to see and addendum or whatever with non-G1 stuff, and with the Panini stuff. I feel that last bit won't happen, though, given that they're competitors of Hachette.

I'm fast running out of bookshelf space, so I'll be bailing if they go past 100.

When the heck is Hachette gonna "move to the new warehouse"? Their website for the Transformers series has been down for months. I'm not sure if these are available in comics shops in the UK, but for those who want to subscribe, this has got to be a pretty bad look.

Issue 82/ Volume 90: That's gonna be a wide old Magnus: Contents are Generation 2 #1-6 (as predicted), plus the G2 Halloween Special "Ghosts" and an article about Fleetway's UK Generation 2 material, including the first 12-page UK G2 strip (reprinted as four pages per page).

Yeah, it's one thing to go 'we're moving so you can't buy things, but there's still all the info', but going 'we're moving so all product pages have been replaced with a useless message' is one of the dumbest website decisions I've seen, and it's got a lot of competition.

Four pages per page?! Aw, that's a bit of a shame.

It's a very strange choice. Worst part is, there are 8 full cover pages, and two pages of the gatefold spread for #1 so they could have made it fit easily enough if they wanted to.

Do we yet know how far back the Joe issues go? I forget now, but the first one's just got Megatron on the last page hasn't it? Then three or four after that?

Post by docfilth on Feb 5, 2020 20:56:06 GMT
Yep, there's a cameo at the end of GI JOE #138, then four full issues (139-142) after that. Whether or not 138 makes it into Volume 89, I'm pretty sure the GI Joe and the Transformers mini-series will be in it as well.

Post by Pinwig on Feb 5, 2020 21:06:07 GMT
That was it. I doubt they'd print the whole of 138, but there's a chance I suppose that they'd put in the last page as part of an extra feature.

Post by docfilth on Feb 5, 2020 22:14:20 GMT
Yep, to be precise it's two panels of "unseen" dialogue and a panel of Megatron and Starscream talking in shadow earlier in the issue, then the Megatron reveal on the last page. I'd bet on small reprints in a one-page "context" feature before the four issues proper.

I'd say that's pretty likely to be the way they go.
Still G2 being reprinted, I am very happy.

Four pages per page?! Aw, that's a bit of a shame. It's a baffling decision, especially as G2UK has never been reprinted before. Furman finally admits to having written it! There are reports of Andus roaming newsagents, ordering people to buy this book! -Ralph

I found it in Forbidden Planet earlier. The G2UK reprint is small, but you can just about read the text.
I've always wondered why G2US were split into 2 'chapters' each issue. Did Simon Furman assume it would be picked up by Marvel UK and printed over 24 issues?

Nope.
Derek Yaniger couldn't keep to schedule, so it was a way to try and keep the book on track.

Galan pitched in on Issue 2 onwards, Yaniger did bits for 3,4, 6-8 but was so slow they brought Geoff Senior on and kept Yaniger for covers, but even then by the time of the last issue someone else had to ink him.
