Vote or post your own ending. Whatever.

Well, the solicitations do explicitly say the ending will be unexpected.
The idea of the Autobots arriving on Earth and Prime fights Megatron to save the day is so obvious it won't happen. However that makes it unexpected, therefore that will be the proper ending!
Seriously though, AHM is supposed to set up a new status quo. My money is on the Decepticons ending on top (maybe with Megatron sacrificing himself to win) and the new status quo being the Autobots fighting a guerilla war. I'm not sure if I like that, but the alternative is more of the same

The Autobots spent AHM sitting about on their own on Cybertron  I am unsure as to whether the AHM was to BE the new status quo OR to set it up, to be honest. But given as most of it has no interaction between factions, I'm thinking more 'set things up' |

I thought Kup's crew were all shooty shooty bang bang in their spaceship against the Decepticons when AHM started?

12 issues to set up a status quo is piss-poor storytelling. Compare this to to the amount of story content in the 12 issues of Generation 2. Or the first 12 issues of the original Marvel run. Whether or not those stories were to your taste, it can't be denied an awful lot happened.
Life is too short to spend a year setting something up. Especially at 12x$4.
I really feel sorry for Guido. Top TF artist but keeps getting the shittiest scripts to draw!

Top TF artist but keeps getting the shittiest scripts to draw! -Ralph G2 was so good. I reread it the other day. Also Guido is fantastic. He's pretty much been carrying AHM on his own (95% of the good comments revolve around how good it looks). He needs more recognition for that at least |

He won't though as Don is back and the fanboys can't help spooging over his work above all others.

Guido is showing a certain level of dedication. You have to admire him for that.

He's a better artist than Don and it's a shame the fanboys can't see it.

I actually quite like some of Don's Transformers work. Well, the robot parts of it.
Two things I was never very fond of: his portayal of humans and the way Cybertron always looked like it was made of splintered wood.

I think Don is fantastic, personally. I don't see the problem there.

I generally like his designs and he does a good pin-up. I found a lot of his storytelling (panel layout, composition) hard to follow in the past, however. Some bits of War Within still make me go: "what happened there?".
He has got much better. His work on issues 1-3 of the animated movie adaptation are far and way his best work: crisp, clear, easy to follow.
Competant artist, but not the Second Coming some fans drool about. Colouring makes a big difference to the quality to his work, which is often overlooked.

Yeah my biggest gripe with Don, humans aside is his storytelling chops and like Ralph I think the Animated adaption is his best work in those regards.

When you're hot, you miss AHM, when you're not you purchase two of everything DW produce in a hope to flog off the spares at a later date for a huge profit.

All HM #16 last issue should be numbered #50 of IDW - but with Max Dino only being 5 issues [are they still fit in numbers before AHM? - if so what are the other 3 issues? we have 8 issue cap from Rev to AHM. #0-6 In, storm/esc/dev #7-22, Rev#23-26, Max Dino #27-31, ahm #35-50 #32-34?  |

I think they've dropped the numbering now.
As I hear it they were going to slot in another 3 issues before it, but then decided not to.

They even dropped the numbering on the Spotlight issues a while back. They started off as numbered issues but then suddenly turned into the one-shots they were supposed to have been in the first place.

I'm fearing a 'Setting things up for more of the same' ending. AHM: PUTTUP!

If it takes 16x$4 issues just to set a story up, well, as they say on the interweb: 'epic fail'. Anyhoooooooooo, we still have the fun Titan comics every 4 weeks! Where, ooo, you get a lot of things happening in each 11-page instalment.

Thats because Simon is writing it & he is also planning a head to get everything to tie in with the new Movie so everything flows - when not knowing everything the Movie guys are going to do. Simon could have killed of some main characters that then the Movie guys could have brought back & saying there where doing something else.

It won't be long before a Decepticon Matrix is thrown into the story.
