Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 12, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2022 I'll have to remember that one for Payday. Regeneration 1 is a fascinating read as well. I remember borrowing it from the library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we find out that a new character introduced in Lost Light as "she" used to be "he" but changed it because "she" just felt right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It opened up a whole new approach to the characters to have genuine relationships developing, and - in a rarity amongst fandoms - it appears the TF fanbase more-or-less went 'yeah, makes total sense, carry on' and it wasn't a big deal. Like, I'm sure there was some fuss kicked up somewhere, but it's not been big if so.

I'm going to need to re-read the entire thing again. Just rummaging through them now has brought it all back: the humour, the multi-layered mysteries which pay off over the course of years of careful reading, the intricacies of the writing ... the fact that James Roberts somehow makes us care about no-personality never-weres such as the awful Whirl toy, which looked like an oversized GoBot: or faceless filler like one of Blaster's twin cassettes, Rewind: The whole series (originally More than Meets the Eye, then renamed as Lost Light) is a masterpiece. I don't know when I'm going to find the time to re-read it all but that's a problem for another day. In the meantime, it's well worth spending the £20 just to get this lot (8 volumes of MTMTE, 4 of LL). I've just bought them despite having the trade versions, the hardback ones as part of the rip-off Hachette Partworks Definitive G1 Collection, and the single digital issues I bought at the time, risking some funny looks because it became the highlight of the month to justify a trip to the pub to read it over a few ales. And I'm saying this as somebody who just can't read comics as an adult! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a ticket for this for the past two years now as it's been rolled over due to show being cancelled through the pandemic. I go to comic cons a lot anyway and being a Transformers fan as well this event is usually a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling to find out anymore info than that. It may be an invite only affair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 27, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 27, 2022 This is possibly going to sound like a bit of a daft question, but is there a recommended order to read the books in that massive Humble Bundle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
