Transmasters Magazine, SUMMER 2011

INTRODUCTION

It's the dog days of summer! BotCon and TFCon have come and passed (as well as SDCC and countless others). Dark of the Moon has come and gone, making millions in the process (but perdictably alienating a lot of long time TF fans in the process).
   With SDCC came news that Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman will indeed be doing a Marvel continuity revival with Transformers #81, which is good news for those of us who loved the old series. More Then Meets the Eye and Robots in Disguise will round out next year's IDW line-up, continuing their already established continuity.
    This issue sees reviews of Challenge of the Gobots (the original miniseries) as well as Shout's Headmasters DVD set. Also, at long last, I got my Generations toys of Warpath, Wheeljack, Skywarp, Kup and Scourge so look for reviews of these great toys as well.
    Special thanks to Rosemary Ward for more wonderful artwork. Be sure to follow her other fandom efforts on http://screamer.alt-world.com. Thanks to Peter Phelps for more of his character creations, including Movie versions of Roadbuster and Whirl. And a big thanks also to Jay Gutzman for supplying me with a large number of character profiles which will see print over many issues to come (there are a lot!)
    I hope you enjoy this latest issue. Comments are always welcome, be they praise, criticism or just general questions. Contributions are also welcome!
