Is that really wise? (PS I'm aware that this is for issue 17, but cant find issue 18's blog entry here) the story would probably get retconned out if Unicron makes an appearance in the movies, even though this is a different reality Unicron in issue 18 Mr Furman?

Is this story going to be intersecting with the Bad Spark story? like one week they do the Cybertron story, the next week we see what's going on on Earth with Jazz? Also who are\the Decepticons on Cybertron, I can recognise like 3 of them, but I don't know. Also, why is Armorhide suddenly green?

Editors have little or no time to read full scripts or big, bible-style documents. Try and nail the nub of your idea in one sentence and then hit the main story points in one paragraph.

Trust me, this series really is going places. You won't believe where! And if you liked the short Dinobots TF Animated story be sure to check out the first issue of the mag itself, on sale on the 23rd. Glad the reaction to Return to Cybertron seems to be so positive.

Really liked the art on this issue. The movie designs looked simpler, allowing for some xharacterisation to creep through on the faces of those 'busy' designs. It really feels like this tale is really starting to go places now and has done a great deal to make me warm to the movie-verse even more (i didn't bother with the US Reign Of Starscream). Good stuff! The purple cover is er, interesting though! My copy came yesterday and I read to cheer myself up after clearing up after our cats (don’t ask!). Really liked the art on this issue.

This issue did not disappoint, although to be fair I wasn't expecting it to ;) Return to Cybertron's first part set the stage for the other parts well, and left me wondering just what Nucleon does in this movie verse, and the Animated mini strip was also pretty good, Starscream was suitably 'sarky', for lack of a better word and the way Sari bargained with the Dynobots was hillarious! ;) Veering off topic here, I was wondring if you might be able to help me out with something Simon? I have an idea for a comic that I'd like to put to a publisher, and was wondering if you'd be able to give me some quick tips and advice on how to go about it? :o Wow!

I have really been enjoying the UK title of late. The strips have been consistantly good and the art, by and large, has been superb. Although I would like to see a semi-regular art-team, as the rotating artists does fracture the reading experience somewhat. I'll give the UK Animated title a go, as I've found the US Animated title disapointing. I'll be watching the UK Animated title with interest, particularly as there is a severe lack of advertising and promotion here in the UK for this latest toyline (the cartoon itself lost to the back waters of satelite tv). I hope it will succeed, but still feel this would be better as an additional strip within the exsisting UK comic. I think there's a perception that Animated, by the nature of its stylings, is aimed at a slightly younger audience which really isn't the case. Well, I’ll be here for this (I’m still subscribing!).

And then an Earthforce-esque strip with quotable lines? You're spoiling us!
