dukeofriven asked:
I gave up on the mainstream Transformer's comic some time back, on the grounds that it wasn't interested in even trying to be as progressive as MTMTE (in the sense of 'breaking away from the tired logjam that was the previous half-decade of IDW comics'). Am I missing anything?
MTMTE is a great reason to be alive. It’s the best thing since air.
orangebaccarat asked:
So, are transformers just allowed to, like, build new transformers and shit? They're an immortal race of space robots and there's no problem if they make more of each other as, like, foot soldiers or laborers or something?
The difficulty or ability to do so varies. In IDW comics continuity, they kind of pop out of the ground in little hot spots, but the hot spots have kind of run out millions of years ago, and so their population is finite. In the old Marvel stuff, though, Optimus could just point his Matrix at anything dude-shaped and it’d be a new guy. Prowl was like “aw yisss let’s make an infinite robot army” and Prime was all “no way that corrupts the purpose of this magical thing in my chest, NEVER” but then a year later the toyline expanded and Optimus sort of forgot he said that.
sanityisextinct asked:
What do you think about the list of Beast Wars characters that will show up in the IDW comics? Specifically the addition of Sonar and Manta Ray.
I think they all need feathers. All of them.
danshive asked:
Do Transformers count as Artificial Intelligence?
Well, in the IDW comics, new Transformer life spurts right out of the ground like a radish, which is something they seem to think is pretty natural, so take that as you will.
fearorcourage asked:
Since the Wiki itself still doesn't seem to have reached a consensus, and the first issue is out already, as the site's owner and management, what do you think we should officially call the rebooted IDW comics continuity?

Let’s talk about ExorSystems, Inc!
ExorSystems is probably my proudest RPG creation, a d20 ghost-hunting-for-profit game setting that parodied/pastiche’d Ghostbusters, Hellboy, Buffy, Scooby Doo, Supernatural and Men in Black, among others (But mostly Ghostbusters, lets be honest.)
The universe revolved around the Ectonic Progression, a sort of supernatural analogue of global warming that resulted in ghostly and pan-dimensional incursions instead of extreme weather and rising ocean levels. As such, monster-hunters were much in demand.
It had some fun elements that helped differentiate it from the average d20 game. Monsters were for the most part unkillable, requiring capture through technological or supernatural means. There were rules for converting any d20 monster into a ectoplasmic entity, supernatural weakness tables to give each creature an Achilles’ heel for hunters who didn’t have capture gear, rival organizations to compete for clients with, and a ton of fun gear options.
Making it was a fun period in my life.
Fun fact, the mini-comic by David Willis of Shortpacked fame was inspired by the things I screamed at the screen while watching the US version of the Grudge.
As I’ve mentioned previously, i’m currently having issues with my car and need to raise funds to get it fixed. If you like the sound of ExorSystems, you can check it out here. Or you can get it and every other d20 RPG I published for $5 more (a lot of my other supplements had optional ExorSystems support).
