If a hardback is so big you need a lectern to rest it on, then it's a No from me. I'd be happier with reprints of the IDW Classics series.

Because honestly I don't follow Transformers too closely anymore, got idly curious at seeing a new thread pop up like this here.

Why'd they make Whirl's avatar a little girl?

Whirl is emotionally immature, so they needed some way to visually represent that, and the twintails/helicopter blades parallel makes for a decent sight gag. Also, the psychopathic girlchild archetype was still big in pop culture back then.

And then there's this...

I'm gonna sound like a wuss but after reading digital for so long I'm hesitant to read anything expensive or rare physically because I get worried I'd damage it.
Huge physical copies just became more like display decorations for me unless they have stuff that isn't scanned or ripped.

That's a totally reasonable concern, considering the compendium will probably sell out immediately and a number of those buying up copies will be scalpers, who will rapidly become the only source for new or replacement copies.

Pic related.

Yes >>228516

For future reference, this site's board index and catalog pages have built-in search boxes.

The new run of Transformers comics by Skybound Entertainment, also I am silly because the issue this month released earlier than I thought on the 9th, and I already read it and forgot.

Not him but it's basically Geewun fare aside from big twists at the start.
That isn't to say it's bad or anything, far from it. It's great
People have gripes over its violence but it's honestly not that different compared to what Dreamwave and IDW was offering.

The writing okay, the story itself is a retelling of G1 with some characters and their motivations changed around. One difference is that it ties into a large OC universe, with both GI Joe and Skybound's OC Void Rivals storyline relating back to the Transformers story (although there's been only minor references in the TF comic itself).
The Void Rivals run does have TF characters if you REALLY like Season 3 of the G1 cartoon check it out I guess.
The biggest standout is the action, the artist/writer for the first 6 issues previously drew a pro wrestling comic, so the whole comic is basically action scene after action scene with characters being dramatic in between.
I thought it was kind of exhausting after awhile reading it monthly, but it might flow better reading it all at once. My only real complaint is how a few characters are written, namely Ultra Magnus..
The issues drawn by DWJ and Jorge Corona look amazing though and is worth checking out for the spectacle alone.

Hey, thanks for the reply. That DWJ art do be lookin' pretty damn fine.

>I thought it was kind of exhausting after awhile reading it monthly, but it might flow better reading it all at once.
Good to know. Guess I'll wait until the book ends, then binge it.

>My only real complaint is how a few characters are written
It wouldn't be Transformers if we didn't take issue with how at least one character is written.

I don't really care for the story or mythology of Transformers, all I feel is that Optimus Prime is the coolest design ever and was the coolest toy when I was a kid.
