Terribly sorry to drop this on you but since I can say whatever I want and I’ve been thinking about transformers recently, I will be subjecting you to that. *Spins the wheel of dumb shit that happens in the IDW comics*

Congratulations!!! You get to hear about the time Not-Optimus beat the shit out of Cthulhu and also everyone was trains!

Here’s a few designs of the stuff:

Optimus. Who is not Optimus but shhhhHhH that’s fine dw abt it

Bomble. Except not really. But like if I start talking about HOW exactly none of these characters are actually their counterparts and how this is actually centurion and he’s half human bc something something magical hijinks (when I say hijinks I mean warcrimes) and whatever, we’d be here licherally all day.

I am literally so happy that they kept Meghan’s gun mode alt even tho it’s a cannon here. Like go off oh my god. He doesn’t even show up in the comic at all lmao but even so he manages to be the one toy I’d actually like to purchase from this line.

And there he is. Shitscram. My third favorite transformer of all time. The fucking bat wings coming out of everywhere I lov him u g h

Hearts of Steel was a 4 issue short series that took place in the 1800s and BASICALLY what happens is this one guy ironhide sees what’s going down w like the fish people and whatever, then runs to tell the other autobots about it. Anyway they’re more or less helpless against Cthulhu for a WHILE there too finally Optimus just…???? Knocks him out somehow? Through sheer willpower? Also some of the decepticons are there and they get dealt with too I think. iirc shockwave, ravage and maybe one or two of the seekers are the only ones to wake up, yeah by the way they’re all in like Caves since their ships crashed, g1 style.

See the main issue with transformers is that every single thing that you learn about transformers feels sort of like being punched in the guts. And the stories feel like everything is happening and also nothing is happening at the same time :D

For a while it was speculated that this wasn’t canon bc how could they still be fighting in a war if they’re all asleep underground in caves on earth, but then it was revealed that these characters were NOT the original autobots and decepticons! They were just, like, copycats because Centurion woke up, said smthn along the lines of “shit, am I bumblebee?” and shockwave took that as an opportunity to just replace all their memories with the stuff HE remembered about the autobots. Experimence!

Anyway Cthulhu’s still down there just…sleeping I guess. Also did I mention that Nikola Tesla shows up? Nikola Tesla shows up.

Closing Statemence: tbh there’s nothing like particularly remarkable abt how this comic is written or anything so I don’t really. I don’t really RECOMMEND reading it? Honestly I don’t recommend reading a lot of transformers stuff to ppl who don’t already have an interest in transformers stuff because it is so…you know. The only comics that I can wholeheartedly say “go read these, regardless of whether or not you like transformers you’re gonna like these comics” are IDW’s More Than Meets The Eye and Lost Light in that order. All you need to know is that the war between bots and cons is over and some of them decided “fuck it, let’s go to space”. The story’s funny asf, the dialogue makes the transformers feel like real, fleshed out people with personalities instead of being stilted and only serving to advance the plot, and it is, to this day, one of the only pieces of media to make me cry.

#hi I know y’all follow me for gt content but like listen I have a brain problem called ‘I read every single issue of idw’s phase 1 and 2’#this knowledge simply refuses to leave me alone #also the sunflower means I get to say whatever the hell I want #also go read mtmte and ll if u wanna they’re both rly good and also free on that illegal comic site >:3c #what would we do without readcomicsonline.to
