Talk:The Transformers: All Hail Megatron

Evolutions?

Since this is yet another "Elseworld" for Transformers, is this series considered under the Evolutions umbrella?--Rosicrucian^Talk 00:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Not an AU. It's part of the main timeline. Basically, Autobots buggered off,and the cons have the run of the place. Far as I know, only bots on Earth are the Dinos, Hot Rod and Sunstreaker

Takes place a year later. In reality it WAS written as an Elseworld-style alternate universe storyline, but was vaugley reworked to fit into the current storyline. Judging by the interview with the writer, the decision seemed to be made soley for the purposes of marketing - IDW were evidently worried about turning off new readers with the serialised nature of Furman's storyline, so they essentially put that on the backburner and started a new storyline, that's why the writer remarked that you can just jump into the storyline without prior knowledge of the previous books because, hey, they weren't written with them in mind anyway. --FFN 13:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

What's up with the copy protection on this page? Do you have to be an admin or something to edit it now? Rod-E-Mace 19:50, 25 April 2009 (EDT)Rod-E-Mace

It got hit by some angry fans a few days back, so unregistered users are restricted from editing it. It also restricts editing from very new editors. --ItsWalky 19:58, 25 April 2009 (EDT)

I thought it was terrible.

I normally don't buy comics, and instead waited for the TPB to read Volume 1 of the Dreamwave comic. After a year of waiting, I thought it was awful; thus I bought the first issue of Infiltration in hopes that I could save money. Three years later, I had begun regularly driving to the comic store so I could buy ANYTHING in IDWs new line, including the numerous spotlight stories.

So personally, I thought this entire series was a (and I'm not sure if obscenities will make me seem hostile and get this deleted so I'll self-censor this) chicken doo doo move on IDW's part. I don't necessarily blame the writers or artists responsible for AHM but somebody at IDW needs to be fired and or murdered for taking such a dump on established readers.

I'm really glad I saw the pattern after buying issue 2 (and being repelled by the concept in general) and didn't support what sounds pretty weak.

I've generally not been fond of the Transformers comic (aside from Generation 2) yet really thought Furman nailed it with Infiltration and Escalation, and by that I mean the man took the property more seriously than any other author or artist who has ever had control of it save for perhaps the creative team behind the original cartoon. The real problem was only the fact that Furman was writing what would have been the best Transformer stories ever in the form of TPBs while selling them monthly.

I guess it doesn't matter anymore, though; I thought Detestation was weak (in large part due to the absence of EJ Su, though the thin plot didn't help) and Revelations was an absolute abortion, thanks probably to the fact that Furman could see the end of his run approaching and probably had no other choice but to condense to the point of ruin what might otherwise have been an excellent narrative. --Showka 01:11, July 17 2009 (EDT)

Personally, I thought it really picked up after Issue 4. It wasn't IMHO as good as the Furman run, but I don't think it really deserves the level of negativity that's heaped on its entries around the wiki. --24.131.255.225 20:36, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
