    So, Spotlights are back. As always they seem to be a bit of a mixed bag. Megatron was good (it's getting a second printing in April). However, I found Bumblebee to be really pointless.

    Haven't read Thundercracker yet. I believe Trailbreakercutter is next.
    Anyone read any of them?

    I read Megatron, Orion Pax, Bumblebee and Thundercracker. Megatron was the best of the bunch, the rest weren't great really. As far as I know, point of this latest batch of spotlights is to be part of an add-in pack with the toys, so they are not really going to be doing too much to advance or enhance the IDW storyline. They do seem to have a bit of a theme running through them relating to
    Metroplex and the Metrotitans, which probably isn't surpirsing with the upcoming toy too

    Yup. Shown at the last New York toy fair as pack-ins with the next wave of Generations Deluxes.



    And the bit in the spoiler was aluded to by Hasbro staff at Toy Fair too.


    (does anyone ever get the impression i don't give a rats ass about the comics and just want more toys)

    Perfect balanced TF Forum moderation!

    I've all the G1 Comics, those cassette books, choose your own adventure books, G1 videos and DVDs and nearly all G1 toys. Does that count? :) The collection doesnt really go beyond G1 though, so probably not.

    I'll have to get them all out of the attic and line them up. I'll do it over the next few weeks so. Might be nice to dust them off. :)

    Terrible. One about the Dinobots against Ravage and Laserbeak. Think I got accidentally stood on by Sludge at some point. It was like someone read half the Bios on them and put a bad story around them.

    I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often...
