I realize that alot of you get your news from other sites, well I'm going to tell it to you here.

According to sources that were at the Transformerscon in Ontario over the weekend. The Dreamwave Production Manager has stated that in the new year G1 will be given it's own on going series - this means no more 6 shot deals.
The artist will be Don Figueroa and written by Brad Mick.

Bombers is gonna kill you for getting this ahead of him...heh.

And some good news too. Is it fair to say then, that Volumes 1 and 2 were taster series?

Nah. I think Dreamwave always wants one Ongoing TF series to be filled in with 6 parters. I think energons going to be a 6 or 2 - 6 parters and G1's going to pick up when Armada ends it's run.

I mean it's obvious hasbro's not planning for energon to be around for long, as it's only slated for 26 eps, so it won't take up too much Comic space.

Edit:
I seem to be catching the TF news before anyone else lately. Hummm kinda scary

Wow, maybe Dollars Wanted will be forced to actually develop a storyline at a sensible pace. But how's Pat going to get money for his fleet of Rolls Royces if he hasn't got 472 different #1 covers to make? I see them and Dynamic Finances falling out over this...

i only wonder how long it will last.

Brave Maximus · Post by **Brave Maximus** » Tue Jun 24, 2003 5:27 pm

As long as the nostalgia pop lasts and Transformers has fans who buy it.

I'm hopeing over 2 years. Then they might develope good stories and time lines

Yeah but.... they spend pages on artwork and no dialogue. Just lets hope its similar to some of the great comic storylines.

Brave Maximus · Post by **Brave Maximus** » Tue Jun 24, 2003 5:36 pm

Yes but maybe they've figured out you have to write a story before you do the artwork. it helps

Well, I like what Brad Mick has done so far (admittedly going off of two issues, but if he keeps it up, it'll be awesome), so I think that's exciting. I'd really like to see Armada continue, though.

Well Unfortunaly Hasbro can't just keep one thing going anymore. So with the advent of Energon, Armada goes the way of the beasts

Nope I think it's more like this:

Anyway
Anything you guys would like to see from G1?
I'd love to see stories of what happened between seasons 2 and the movie

I'm pretty sure that the on going series will just be a continuation of what happened in volumes 1 and 2, so the Movie will have never happened. I'm hopping a lot of the later Transformers can be introduced.

...which they almost certainly could not do for copyright reasons, methinks. I would expect them to fit it in the same continuity that they're builting with WWI and G1 V1&2. Which isn't a bad thing, since they would have a difficult time trying to shoehorn an indefinately running series into any established continuity.

The only thing I see they can do is a new continuity. And only one, I hope they don't do separates: one for WWI, one for miniseries, one for ongoing. And I hope for good stories. And I hope I get to read 'em.

there's only one thing to say about this news: BOOYAH!

just wish i could get my hands on the other stuff.

Blitzwing · Post by **Blitzwing** » Wed Jun 25, 2003 1:04 pm

Although it might be asking for too much... I wouldn't mind if they kept putting out 6 issue miniseries along with the ongoing series. The ongoing series could take it from after volume 2, while the miniseries' could be about anything from War Within, to Beast Wars to RiD.

Brave Maximus · Post by **Brave Maximus** » Wed Jun 25, 2003 1:52 pm

I think that's the plan (been floating around their website and that seems to be the feeling)

G1 will be on going (yes more than likely with the continuity established by them [what I ment was, no jump from 1985 - 2010]) with miniseries covering whatever their hearts desires

Cliffjumper · Post by **Cliffjumper** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 2:31 am

I can't see Dollars Wanted doing BW or RiD, as neither are "hardcore", "stylin'", "badass" or "#1 Diamond Sales Material", the four central concepts the company is bound by. Besides, I like BW... I don't want those cunts getting their hands on it.
