Please use this thread to discuss the Simon Furman blogs on Transformers issue 81 news story on the main site.


The true legendary scribe of Transformers, Simon Furman, have updated his blog with a small entry regarding the SDCC announcement by IDW that Transformers #81 will indeed be published with a special 20 part run (issue 80.5 through 100) with the original Generation One crew of Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman back on board.  Here is Simon's post
"Announced live yesterday at San Diego Comicon — the original
Marvel Transformers comic series (cancelled back in 1991 at issue #80)
is being continued by IDW Publishing, thanks in large part to an online
fan petition (big shouts for Luke and Ron of the IDW forums) and the
tireless efforts of IDW EiC Chris Ryall. Transformers (‘classic’) will
(re-) launch in Spring 2012 with issue 80 and a half, and reunites the
previous writer/artist team of myself and Andrew Wildman. The
reinvigorated run will build to a monumental 100th issue conclusion,
pulling together and tying up every dangling plotline you can think of
and a whole lot you can’t! What else can I tell you about the series?
Nada. Niente. Zilch. So don’t ask. For the time being anyway we’re
keeping this tightly under wraps. But it is going to shatter your
trousers! Guaranteed! "
Do not forget that Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman will both be in attendance at Auto Assembly next month in Birmingham where you can give them your reactions in person
