New Direction For Transformers Milestones

Article Image 55e3Some of you know them from the films made by Micheal Bay. Others have been loyal fans since they were toys in the 80s. All of us, however, are happy that Hasbro authorized the Transformers comic books. And this month IDW shows that there's no slowing down when it comes to brainstorming for the Autobots and Decepticons because both of their Transformers series are approaching their 50th issues, and that means storytelling is about to go...sideways.

Extra TLC starts with some very cool variant covers, of course, but if you check out this month's Transformers #50 (DEC150406) you'll see that we're about to get a history lesson of sorts. We're taken back to a time after Megatron is allegedly dead, and Bumblebee must attempt to keep order among the other struggling Autobots, and (now defunct) Decepticons. When Optimus Prime shows up to help him out, one would expect that things would get easier right? But, no, it seems that this is when the troubled leader decided it would be best if Earth was part of Cybertron's council.

The question to ask, though, is will the people of earth be receptive to the idea?

Article Image 0ba3Switching gears, we see that in Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #50 (DEC150411) one particular robot is thinking of amending his destructive tendencies.

Megatron may actually be experiencing regret. This may not be the vicious killer that we all know and despise.

It appears that Megatron wants to put his days of ruin behind him, and renounce the Decepticons.

But is this just deceipt? Is Megatron telling the truth? Can Rodimus and his crew even trust him? Is this just a trap? Can one who is the embodiment of evil ever truly repent?

Lots to chew on, folks, so check out both Transformers books this month from IDW Publishing, and be sure to preorder from your local comic shop!
