Start by not being so gay. Who likes Transformer comics? 9 year olds on the 1980s?
Joseph Collins
Don't. They're shit.
Benjamin White
don´t read anything released in the last 6 years
Isaiah Edwards
Depends.
Transformers is an IP with a bunch of different universes, some being fairly long and some fairly short.
The most important question is what kind of comic do you want to read?
>Ties into the original cartoon loosely, continues past it when it was canceled
>Came before the original cartoon and was its own thing, has ideas that would inspire parts of it
>90’s EXXXXTREME! (Requires knowledge of the cartoon)
>Beast Wars (far future continuation of the original cartoon, functions as an improved version of the Beast Wars cartoon)
>Is its own thing and did new things, some worked and have been used by most things since then, and some didn’t and are forgotten
>Batshit insane, references all continuity and is based on the Japanese version of the original cartoon
>Hunger Games/Battle Royale
>Long-running, modern, and has an ending
>Currently being released
If you have a hard time deciding, look up Chris McFeely on youtube. His series “The Basics” are like simplified versions of the Transformers wiki with lots of visual aids, and are pretty good.

I only knew Beast Wars and a small amount of G1 from my childhood, and it was a convenient way to get a working knowledge of it all without losing a few days on the wiki clicking from one article to the next.

Just a heads up if you plan on reading the IDW comics, they're extremely preachy and up their own ass with LGBTQ politics.
Wyatt Barnes
They just restarted back in March, issue 5 of the ongoing just came out today.

Your image is 3/4ths of the entire time they spend talking about those two being trans. You're only missing another panel.

>hoi doi one panel represents entire run yadda yadda yadda

Could anyone tell me if it's worth reading Regeneration One? I've asked maybe twenty people about it and I've received a near-perfect split in answers either telling me it's a fantastic conclusion to the old G1 comics, or that it's the worst Transformers run of all time.
Caleb Martin
Don't listen to this outrage fag OP, The IDW comics were actually pretty fucking great until Lost Light, which is the run that image is from and was 25 issues out of hundreds.

Nah. They went south in 2012.
Luke Torres
Read Marvel G1 and if you like it read something else
Luke Cox
It's only worth reading if you really really really like Furman.
Sebastian Bailey
>Marvel
LOL
Evan Wilson
I'll take him over James "HowDareYou" Roberts and Brian "WhatPlot" Ruckley.
Jason Ross
Kreo!
Did you finish Marvel UK? Furman recycles plot points from his run in IDW, not gonna spoil the one villain
It's one of the possible canons/endings for G1 Marvel (there's that sad story I forgot, G2, and uhhh I forget what else), it's pretty campy BUT if you like Galvatron, Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, Bludgeon, and ofc Grimlock, then give it a read~
Pretty much this. I liked him though, do some people not like him? I mean, he's literally an insane person but still
Joshua Mitchell
You mean UK.
Michael Nguyen
This but after that you can just start with the new reboot, it's pretty good so far
surely you can prove this comes up more than twice in a like 100 issues
Tyler Hughes
Doesn't stop being obnoxious.
Carter Lee
Don't. Transformers is cancer.
