TRANSFORMERS THE DEFINITIVE G1 COLLECTION

Product Information

It’s a difficult balancing act. Some fans bemoan the fact that IDW put so much focus on some of the ‘lesser’ characters such as Tailgate and Rewind, but you also get people complaining when the ‘core’ cast (Prime, Bee, Megs etc.) are overused. You’re never going to please everybody. Besides which, the Blaster spotlight was a relatively early issue. You can’t really blame Roberts for wanting to pursue his own storylines rather than tie up stuff from previous eras. John-Paul Bove on the Transmasters UK forums: "Raiders has been coloured to match as closely as possible the original. As far as I can tell the original was coloured in marker pen! This involved some exceptionally detailed hi res scans and taking the texture and colour choices from the original (including a Megs with a lot of gold!). There were two changes made to the originals, one was a colouring error pointed out by Mike Collins himself that affected the linework (see if you can spot it) that I corrected and the other was that the Guardian colours were changed to match all subsequent appearances. When he is taken down he is left a solid colour in that Yomtovy way of doing things."

Banners for San Diego Comic-Con 2005: Vol 19 (Megatron), Vol 64 (Starscream), and Vol 50 (Prowl) [30] Ryan F on the TFW2005 forums: "The weird thing is, though, these aren't the IDW versions. The cover to Heavy Traffic has all the Marvel characters around the edge, and the little kid in Decepticon Graffiti is wearing his Spider-Man t-shirt. This stuff was painted out of the IDW trades due to rights issues with Marvel."An article about the Motion Book Tool app used for the digital version of The Transformers: Punishment, a "Brief History of the (IDW) Dinobots", and a Livio Ramondelli sketchbook.
