>>109202827Damn, that was fucking trash. I read #1 of the new run when it came out and lost my interest then, only saw this thread by chance.
Coincidentally, I've been rereading Armada from DreamWave and it's every bit as great as I remember it. It's very straightforward, it's better than the show in every way EXCEPT the status quo stories end too soon for me, I wanted more minicon tug of war battles before the start of the end of this run. Also all the art is fantastic and the robots have proper bulk unlike this new TF run's art which while aesthetic and clean, makes the robots too thin imo.
Call me a zoom or whatever but I don't read TF just for robo politics, there needs to be action in TF. Not everything needs tension and high stakes and action but TF definitely does, as well as drama and politics as a backdrop for it. I do not read/watch this stuff to see Fattimus Prime sitting down all day and everyone walking around and flapping their mouthtraps about boohoo and waahhhh, the most action that went on in that issue was the scene with that electric net thing. I'm all for putting a new spin on things but this is pathetic.
And hey, for all I know I just happened to have read the only 2 bad issues in the run so far. Feel free to call me out for jumping to conclusions as I'm only commenting on what I saw so far. In its defense, I literally just finished rereading Armada up to the 5th to last issue before going on 4chan for a bit, almost no other TF comic I've seen holds a candle to the DW ones so it's like comparing Superman to a couple of Calendar Mans.
