Just imagine what Comico’s amazing artists and writers could have done with a Gobots comic book series in the 1980s! For the IDW comic, I’m curious to see what Scooter will look like and what various other Gobots will appear in these five issues. That would have made for an awesome competition in the comics world! Or something else that might have been interesting would have been Comico publishing a Gobots comic book. That would have made sense due to DC’s rival Marvel having the Transformers comics in the 80s. I’m going to get this five issue Gobots series from IDW because I”m one of those Gobots fans who’s been thirsting for a Gobots comic book for decades! Back in the 1980s, I would have liked to have seen DC put out a Gobots comic book. Which comic company would you have preferred to work on a Gobots comic instead of IDW?Īnd hey…I guess you won’t be the first one to bring about a Gobots comic book, but you could instead be the first one to bring about an English language Blackstar comic book in the United States! (remember that a French comic book company created two issues of Blackstar in the 80s).

That’s why Hasbro gave the green light to IDW to work on this comic series. The way my local comic book shop owner put it is that Hasbro sees there’s money to be made off the Gobots franchise.

Visionaries comic series but I would have preferred a stand alone Visionaries comic much like the one in the 80s (the 80s one from Star is excellent!). It’s not an infamous IDW Hasbro franchise mashup like so many of their other series. What I’m happy about is that this series will only be about the Gobots. This five issue series should hopefully lead to more Gobots in comic books. My calendar is already marked to look out for the premiere of IDW’s Gobots in October. From the San Diego Comic Con photos of the artwork, I must say that I like how Leader-1 and Cy-Kill look there. The closest to there being Gobots comics in the 1980s was the Gobots magazine that featured comic strips in each issue I had two issues of Gobots Magazine, and I liked how the comic strip artwork was very loyal to the Hanna Barbera cartoon. I’ve been wanting to see a Gobots comic book come about for a long time.
