Joes, Transformers, and more.  I end up making my way down the row of cosplay group tables.  I end up talking with a group from several different cosplay clubs including Roadblock from a G.I.Joe group called, The Finest, a Wonder Woman from the Heroes Alliance, and a Visitor from the Connecticut Mothership.  All three are a little surprised at my offer, but dig in with maple[...]

Another wonderful week of comics, so what have you been buying? Psychic occultist Cassandra Craft returned to the New 52 with a racebending change from

and now it's in the comics… Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #33 makes me wonder if there is any word you can't add Quantum to, to make it sound more interesting and progressive… Communication is key, folks Maxx #11 doesn't seem to have much of it He'll become a Twitter warrior very soon, if he can[...]

Seriously, it's all beef jerky and garlic for him after a night out. Transformers Primacy #2 goes somewhere that Ocean's Eleven never did But hey, isn't that a George Clooney smile there?   Teen Dog #1 seems to be crossing over with Under The Dome You know, spoilers… Uncanny X-Men introduced me to pizza TMNT Animated Adventures #15 introduces[...]

November sees the launch of the Transformers/Angry Birds comic from IDW, who happens to own both the comics license for Transformers from Hasbro and Angry Birds from Rovio So why not show all they have to offer for November? Firstly we have the first issue of Angry Birds/Transformers by John Barber, Marcelo Ferreira and Livio Ramondelli. You got[...]

Whether it's a sheet of paper that sits up and walks off... Or if it's a thousand robots scurrying around and working together to create shapes...

Spinning out of the IDW/Hasbro liveblog… Angry Birds Transformers crossover! Written by John Barber and artist my Marcelo Ferreira Covers by Livio Ramondelli, and Casey W Coller & John-Paul Bove, the All-spark fall to Piggy Island The personalities get grafted onto them A minion to the pig starts speaking like Starscream One of the funniest comics[...]

But actually does it. Here's how Future's End does the violent speech, with a slightly different reaction. Yeah, why do I find the Marrow and even the Maxx version a lot less creepy? Okay, Ghosted is worse. And Megatron totally has an English accent in Transformers More Than Meets The Eye #31, when he tries to affirm his reputation,[...]

Michael Bay's Transformers series has oft drawn the ire of film critics since it's debut in 2007 A target to rant and rave over as each critic to the next tries to out hyperbole the last. Patrick Dane writes for Bleeding Cool. This competition of 'Bay trashing' as I'll call it, spread to film buffs and it is[...]

After launching a Marvel line ahead of San Diego Comic Con, the she-geek specialists Her Universe have just unveiled a line of Transformers-based clothing, with at its centrepiece another glow in the dark design…   After launching a Marvel line ahead of San Diego Comic Con, the she-geek specialists Her Universe[...]

Each figure will be ultra-limited and will include a hand numbered card to prove authenticity and rarity. This week, that means Optimus and Bumblebee are available in a sparkling new look with the Hikari Transformers Clear Glitter Limited Edition Sofubi Figures, $50 each and limited to 3000…. And another Funko exclusive for San Diego Comic Con 2014…[...]

Somewhat surprisingly, the first early reviews out of critics on Transformers: Age of Extinction have been positive – this despite the fact that for some reason the film is nearly 3 hours long. Here's two new clips from the film, taking place early on when Mark Wahlberg and Nicola Peltz first find the scrap of metal[...]

To go with the upcoming movie, Transformers: Age Of Extinction… the movie producers and the driver service Uber teamed up with Break.com to surprise three unknowing Transformers fans who called for a ride.

There has, naturally, been some debate on Bleeding Cool message boards on the merits of racebending when casting roles in movies based on comic books from

Another super dramatically voice-overed TV spot has been released for Transformers: Age of Extinction The Rules Have Changed We Are All Targets Now Judgement Day I really hope the actual movie will have much more a sense of humor about itself. A couple of new giant alien robots are featured in the new 60 second commercial[...]

THIS is a spear" from Transformers: Robots in Disguise #30 Wraith #7 brings commerce and confectionery like never before … and seems to have The Goon working for them. Angry Birds #1 breaks down exactly how all the Angry Birds do their… things I prefered the first version, obviously. "I'll show you my thoughts, if you sow me[...]

Well, we all know Optimus Prime and the Autobots aren't the real villains of Transformers: Age of Extinction despite all the viral marketing being targeted towards them, and there will probably be some Decepticons to fight and protect us all from, but the first clip released from Michael Bay's latest installment of the giant alien[...]

I'm not sure why the humans in Transformers: Age of Extinction think they are even able to wipe out gigantic alien robots capable of mass destruction, even if they do see them as a threat, but now more promo posters and a viral site TransformersAreDangerous.com are keeping the anti-Transformer propaganda going They do know these[...]

Nothing else matters. The bag guys turn good – for a bit –  in Transformers: Robots In Disguise #29 Again Seriously, does this ever work out for anyone at all? My Little Pony #19 decides to break comic books again Stop pulling at threads Pinkie Pie, or the entire edifice will collapse around us Again. I din't know,[...]

Here's one we didn't predict: Transformers: Age of Extinction and Oreos. Who knew Autobots even had the capabilities to consume and digest flour and and cream and sugar? [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmykSCV5MaU[/youtube] Hello, you are now entering the cross-promotional phase of a new blockbuster release Here's one we didn't predict: Transformers: Age of Extinction and Oreos. Who knew Autobots even had[...]

Looks like the anti-Transformers propaganda is going to be a strong theme in Transformers: Age of Extinction, which also appears to be positioned as a direct consequence of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. A new viral marketing video has been released, detailing the devastation left by the climax of the last Transformers film, which is of[...]

Three new 30 second TV spots have been released for Transformers: Age of Extinction and they offer only a bit of new footage, but they do give us (I think) our first really good look at Kelsey Grammer, who's the film's new Big Bad. Putting together his appearances here and what we now know is his[...]

If you get tired of playing the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer on repeat at any point today, maybe you can cleanse your palate with this new Transformers: Age of Extinction trailer, which is similar to the last trailer but also features some new footage. I really think this is the best trailer yet and actually[...]

Surely "Fuck it" would have done well here as well? Whereas Miss Fury is much more taciturn. Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye supplies what passes for robotic humour I'm not convinced. John Byrne's Star Trek: New Visions gives us a Mirror Mirror Spock but… without the beard! How evil! From GI Joe A Real American Hero… you know,[...]

Nerds won you guys, it's our world now.  It's time for us to stop feeling marginalized, our culture is bigger and better than ever and we act like everything sucks.  It's the old cliché of the comic book guy, some fat nerd who sits on his stool and rolls his eyes at every off comment[...]

In 1991 when Hasbro bought out Tonka, the Gobot's cartoons Challenge Of The Gobots and Gobots: Battle Of The Rock Lords got folded into the Transformers world as an alternate universe Hasbro just got the narrative in the deal, they did not get the rights to the actual toys. Warner Archive is now bringing the full[...]

Isn't it more effective to just fund the political candidates to get what you want instead? I mean, oil companies get away with far more than vampires ever would…  Any other political views for comparison? Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye gets rather Tea Party when it comes to Megatron To be fair, they do have a[...]

Which means we are one step closer to knowing what it does look like. Transformers: Robots in Disguise #28 gives us the logical next step for the Sharknado franchise. Shotgun Wedding #4 gives us our craziest eye stare yet. While Bravest Warriors knows the kind of complex emotional connection comics need these days. Also how helmets get in the[...]

At the IDW Hasbro Panel at Wondercon, IDW just announced a new Transformers series beginning in August, entitled Primacy This was the expected name of the sequel to their previous series, Monstrosity, to be written again by Flint Dillewhich rejigged much of the Cybertron scenes from the Transformers movie from all those years ago[...]

First Saturday of May, remember! I think I'll be bringing a bevy of children to London's stores with me… Transformers/GI JOE by Tom Scioli and John Barber... And then Atomic Robo by Brian Clevinger, Jay P Fosgitt and Scott Wegener. Unanimously heralded by fans, creators, retailers and critics as the perfect first comic to give to a non-comic-reader[...]
