hello! does anyone have a scan/pdf of the art of IDW transformers? I’ve been looking for a while, but I can’t afford the resale prices and I can’t find a scan online, so I’d thought I’d ask here to see if anyone has one. thank you for your help!

Used Decepticon soldier as base

I’ve always loved the movies but I want to start reading the comics too, and with the thousand or however many there are, kinda hard to now where to start

i'm around 2/3rds into my terribly long marathon of the IDW 2005 comics and i realized i havent touched a single crossover comic. skipped basically every single one. i'm currently reading Optimus Prime and there's a GI joe unit now? i'm supposed to know these guys? cool. so, i realized that i'm missing out on certain plot points which may or may not leave me utterly confused as i continue reading.

should i actually bother going back? or more importantly, is ROM vs transformers actually that good? like, no joke? personally i found that reading through phase 1 made me appreciate the later series a lot more: continuity-wise, character-writing, catching a few references/call-backs, you name it.

i believe if i could sit through heart of darkness (took me 1 week to read FOUR issues), i could do anything.

So way back when I was a kid in 2013 the first comic book I ever purchased was transformers regeneration one issue 96. It’s been years and I didn’t continue on as a kid because I picked it off the dope b cover with the skull I didn’t get the plot at all at the time. Are there cheap ways to pick up this series at all like easy to find trades or anything? Usually I know that’s a dumb question but it’s my understanding image has the license now and my little glance at eBay made it seem like this would be a pricey endeavor. Also secondarily is this series even worth picking up was it good or would this be a wasted effort for a nostalgia trip? The only reason I ask the second question is that this seems like one of many idw series they ran maybe? So I wasn’t sure which one was the good one people always rave about. Sorry if this seems like stupid things to ask my knowledge really is limited on idw transformers.

i remember reading a bit of phase 1 and found it a bit boring so I’m not sure if I should just skip it or what

So I started the comics I’m only in the first book. Based on the warning from the future I assume it’s not going to be a happy story how hard am I going to cry during this? Will I be emotionally distraught the entire time? (So far everyone is an asshole all except a couple characters have pissed me off so far… Bumblebee and Prowl I’m looking at your dumbasses lol)

Trying to start connecting with some local TF fans, I’m a HUUUUUGE IDW fan and would love to get to know y’all better! Join the Discord if you’re interested in talking TF/IDW!

Making a backdrop for swerves bar diorama on my dresser to keep my ps5 company lmao, Will paint wall bright silver with orange gold accents

I remember reading this and Last Stand of The Wreckers. Maybe was the files of the trials, so he could use it as Anti Autobot propaganda (some Autobots were found guilty in these trials)? But I am not sure, since Overlord wanted Garrus 9 to be his amusemenr park until Megatron arrived...

What do you think he was looking for?

Went to go see The Cybertronic Spree with some friends where we dressed as the Holoforms of Rodimus, Nautica, and Swerve. Amazing show and amazing band! Highly recommend going to see them if they're coming to your state.

DJD idw!!!

I've always wanted a proper IDW/MTMTE-style Perceptor on my shelf, and since Hasbro hasn't given us one, I decided to take matters into my own hands and model an upgrade kit for the Titans Return figure.

Here's a quick look at where the project is at right now!

I've designed a comic-accurate head with two swap options (both with his classic visor, but one featuring his target scope on the eye and one without), a brand new shoulder-mounted microscope/cannon, articulated arms and hands, plus his signature sniper rifle and dual pistols.

Just pulled the latest arm prototypes off the printer today. They came out really solid, but as a perfectionist, I'm still tweaking a few tolerances and details before calling it finished.

Let me know what you guys think of the proportions so far! Any feedback or suggestions from fellow IDW fans are more than welcome.

Ever since I've read that issue, I have been always rooting for Jazz on this one, and was kinda mad about the fact that most Autobots after that treated him like an outcast for some time.

I mean, what else was he supposed to do? Watch his fellow Autobots die?
