Back in 1991, the TRANSFORMERS comic series published by Marvel, which at the time I thought at the time was firing on all cylinders thanks to UK TF writer, Simon Furman, and the art team of penciller of Andrew Wildman, and inker Stephen Baskerville, ended up getting the axe. And a bit of my childhood died that day. :(

Anywho, there was a brief follow up or two. One was the short-lived TRANSFORMERS:GENERATION 2 comic series, which came out with the equally short-lived toyline of the same name. And the story "Another Time, Another Place." (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Another_Time_%26_Place)

But last year, in the wake of the Larry Hama scribed G.I. JOE:A REAL AMERICAN HERO !, which picked up after the end of the original run of Task Force Delta's Marvel run a big hit at IDW. Simon Furman put out some feelers to the fans out there in the form of a petition asking the fans if they'd like to see a continuation of the run of Misters Furman/Wildman/Baskerville. The fans, including myself, signed the petition, and IDW answered. So starting this May, with Free Comic Book Day on May 5, TRANSFORMERS REGENERATION ONE#80.5 hits the comic book shelves.

And then in July we pick up full steam ahead with issue eighty-one. So to further whet your appetite check out this interview with legendary TF scribe on some hints for what to is to come right here. (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=36515)

Info from this year's Botcon at the IDW Panel on TRANSFORMERS:ReGeneration (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/botcon-2012-coverage-idw-panel-updated-with-images/24707/).
-Megatron and Ratchet are both alive as pivotal characters, as is Hot Rod.
-Furman says he's going to make a lot of fans angry, characters are going to die and stay dead.
-The WRECKERS (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Wrecker) will be featured, but not necessary the UK versions.

It's only natural that that will happen. He's not being told what to do by Hasbro and it's only for twenty issues.
