Simon Furman has updated his
blog revealing that he shall be putting pen to paper for the Transformers Animated UK comic strip. Mr Furman reveals that although he won't write every story he will write the first, and the occasional story.
Been delving deeply into Transformers Animated (the new cartoon series)
recently, watching a whole bunch of episodes (which I enjoyed greatly).
Why? Well, the news has already broken that Titan (who already do the
four-weekly UK Transformers comic) are bringing out a companion
publication: Transformers Animated (UK) later this year. And I’m going
to be doing some of the fully-originated lead strips. Not all, by any
means, but a few here and there, kicking with issue #1’s story
“Swiped!”. No details at the moment, I’ll save that for a Script (W)rap
down the line, but suffice it to say that it kicks off a whole year’s
worth of TFA-UK goodness, self-contained but with that all-important
arc as well, and introduces an all-new character. News on the artist
for that one real soon, but I can tell you it’ll be a crowd-pleaser!
And, the other bit of juicy TFA new I can share is that the
bumper-sized October issue #17 (of TF-UK) features a bonus 6-page
UK-original TFA story, written by me, featuring none other than the
Dinobots! Well, I just HAD to write that one! Right, off to watch some
more episodes. Definitely the best TF series since Beast Wars, IMO

Simon Furman has updated his blog with information on Transformers UK Comic issue 11.
Also out this week, but only in the UK, on Thursday 24th, is issue #11
of Titan’s Transformers comic/magazine, featuring (in amongst more
comic strip, features and competitions) the third part of the
apocalyptic Twilight’s Last Gleaming. If you remember, TLG takes an
alternate look at post live-action movie events, exploring a
near-future in the which Decepticons are the victors and Autobots are
an endangered species. Starscream continues his machinations this
episode, throwing a spanner in the Autobots’ carefully laid plans to
further his own diabolical agenda.
Forced into desperate action the
moon-based Autobots head for Earth and their respective dates with
destiny. And Bumblebee takes on Megatron (no prizes for guessing how
that one turns out) and Mikaela takes on Frenzy (not as one-sided as
you might think) and Ironhide and Ratchet come up against… well, that’d
be telling!

Simon Furman has updated his blog with an entry regarding the upcoming IDW Hardhead Spotlight. When asked how Hardhead fits into the IDW Universe Simon gives this answer
"Well let’s just say that who he is and what he does within the
framework of the IDW/TF-verse makes him the perfect foil for Nightbeat
as he investigates his missing memories. Hardhead is, for want of a
better expression, a “problem solver.” How that plays into Nightbeat’s
predicament provides one of the TF/IDW-verse’s most gobsmacking,
heartstopping payoffs to date! Plus, a whole host of Micromasters (how
many? Ask Nick Roche. He had to draw all the little beggars)"

Simon Furman has updated his blog with information on the latest issue of the UK Transformers comic which comes out later this week.
Falling a bit behind on my Script (W)raps, so here’s a potted
digression on/tease for Transformers (UK) #11 & 12, the third and
fourth parts respectively of (the 5-part) Twilight’s Last Gleaming. For
those who either haven’t yet read issue #9 (shame on you), which is
already out, or immersed themselves in previous TLG blog entries
(double-shame on you), here’s the basic premise: post-live action
movie, but an alternate take on the way things pan out.
Instead of
happy endings all round, the final victory belongs to the Decepticons.
Earth (or a decent chunk of it anyway) is controlled by Megatron and
the Decepticons and those Autobots still active are fighting a
desperate rearguard action to prevent a planet-wide transformation into
new Cybertron! In parts 3 & 4, Starscream does what Starscreams
have been doing since time immemorial, making his own power play for
control of the new empire. And if that means provoking a reaction from
the Autobot reinforcements (including the likes of Arcee, Armorhide and
Skyblast) on the moon, so be it.
More familiar faces start to emerge as
the story cranks up to fever pitch, including Frenzy (Mikaela’s got
him), Bonecrusher (Ironhide and Ratchet have got him) and Tom Banacek
(who’s kind of once removed from the main action). And Bumblebee? He’s
got by the far the worst deal: one on one with Megatron. That’s gonna
hurt! And you know what? Anything can happen from this point on!
Now
firmly in its own distinct movie continuity, things are gonna get a
whole lot worse for the Autobots (and Earth) before they get any
better. This… is just the beginning! Issues #11 & 12 hit (UK)
stores 24th April and 22nd May respectively.
For more information and
art go visit TF-UK’s MySpace page here.
