RID 45 wasn't that bad either! Better than the recent average for the book.

That was a decent issue, hopefully everyone on Earth will be cured of Stupid Disease by next issue!

It's a definite improvement, nice they remembered about Jazz.
Fuck Blackrock though, he is weapons grade shit.

Are IDW going to renamed the comic back to original name with #50 seeing RID is cancelled 2 months before?

Hmm, that was definite 'part 1, tread water and set up slowly' material. This book may slip into the 'buy when it's cheaper' pile for a while...

What is this Redemption and why is it £5.49? Is it made from gold?

It's a one-shot. Bigger than a normal issue. And probably not made of gold. Although I've not read my copy or checked the metal content closely yet...

Redemption was a bit dull for me, but each to their own.

Shades of CG2 with the conclusion to this issue.
I've soured a bit on this book thanks to the mind-boggling levels of stupidity that the humans have evidenced and the Blackrock character and arc have no interest to me whatsoever.
I did enjoy the issue though, Galvatron revealing his true colours was enjoyable and the interaction between Soundwave and Cosmos was interesting as well.

Andy This arc lost me on the book a bit, with everyone chowing down on the idiot pills in order to make the story work. It's now on the 'buy it a month later when its cheaper' pile. |

Karl bore witness on Friday to my picking up this book, opening it and then putting it down again without reading it so I can't comment on the story quality. However my two TF peeves (over sized gestalts and gendered robots) flashed before my eyes on the only page I briefly turned to. This was enough. I bought an issue of the Star Trek Starship Collection model for four times the price and felt.. happy.

Picked up issue 50.
Non-spoiler review.
A lot happens, but we are in effect not much further forward than the final page of last issue. That's no a bad thing, in the context of the issue as it tied up a few things and drew some battle lines.
I'll be very interested to see where this road takes Optimus Prime.

It's 3 stories this issues isnt it?

Post by KnightBeat on Feb 25, 2016 19:52:12 GMT
Nope. Two stories:
"Once Upon a Time on Earth", a 30-page story
"New Worlds Order", a 10-page back-up strip
I dashed to Forbidden Planet London at lunch today, but couldn't find any copies. If they received the issue it must have sold out ridiculously fast.
I'll venture to Orbital tomorrow.

I think this is going to be the IDW crossover event in 2017 - ROM looking so much like a Titanmaster so expect to see a series of one shots. A new super powered Titan master that turns out to be ROM, X-files - ROM is a secret weapon locked away, Turtles, etc.

Ralph must read this week's issue of the comic formerly known as RiD and turn to the end to see the exciting story development!

Spoil it for us, RiD has hit my 'I will buy issues when they are cheap, not on month of release' pile

Apologies, not seen Matt's post at the time The exciting story development is.... .... The long awaited return of LONGTOOTH not seen since the earliest issues of RiD  I'm assuming Ralph's still not seen it. |

He has now.
I let him read the latest issue last week. He was most unhappy.
I have to say though, this latest issue was very disappointing. Think I am done with keeping up with this book.

Somewhat unexpectedly ex Rid 55 was waiting to be downloaded this morning.
I guess nobody told Comixology it had slipped a week!

Volumes 8 and 9 of the trades have been read, courtesy of the library. It starts off badly as clearly a big chunk of story has happened between volumes 7 and 8 to do with the Combiner Wars storyline but there's no notice in the vol 8 trade to direct readers to what they have missed. Lazy or a presumption only a specific audience will read these books? You decide.
As for the contents themselves, it settles down into a more focussed direction after the previous nonsense post Dark Cybertron but I honestly can't say it interested me that much. The notable exception is the issue told almost entirely from the point of a view of a dog and a robot drone as they team up to save their robot pals. Clever, smart, funny and genuinely inventive. A real highlight as a stand-out issue and also with doing something different in a Transformers comic. If only the surrounding material had been as well done.
Nice looking books though.
-Ralph

Got TPB v10 today - but #50 reprint, prints the 2 stories but missed out the extra section that I've seen states was in #50 (if there was one in it) - but did MTMTE #50 have a review section in it too?
