For Chris Ryall:
-There are repeated references to taking the Transformers series and overal license in a new direction. How does this new direction differ from the current series and what was the rationale behind deciding that it was necessary?

For Shane McCarthy:
-There is a degree of concern as to the extent that All Hail Megatron will fit organically into the overall Transformers continuity. How much dialogue has there been between the creative team behind All Hail Megatron and Simon Furman to ensure that the series works within the much larger framework of the universe?

These questions are going to go to Chris/Shane/Denton/whoever in the next few days, so now's a good time to write them down, and also bump any q's that you would also like to see answered.

Good job posting those questions Brett Base. I hope we get some insightful answers to them.

[Brett_Bass]

Thank you. I too hope for some detailed answers. There's a whole lot of speculation going on right now, and not just about All Hail Megatron. Even folks that aren't as openly worried as, say, Best First or me are calling a lot of the future of the franchise into question. I think that this Q&A session would be a great opportunity for the powers that be to assuage our fears to clarify or at least clarify a lot of the vague marketing-isms that have been bandied about as of late.

There're a lot of other questions that I have regarding artistic direction (see the whole F15/F22 discussion), the future of Simon Furman's involvement as the creative lead, and sundry other things, but I'm sure others have brought up these inquires in the preceding pages, and I want to just focus on one good question for each gentleman in hopes of getting a quality response.



For what it's worth, it's really great that the people in charge of this franchise are willing to interact so directly with the fanbase in order to put out the best product that they can. IDW employs quality folks, and I feel very privileged to have had them shepherding the Transformers comics. They've put out a top-quality re-imagining of the mythos and proven to be remarkably receptive of comments from their consumers. Even before this Q&A session gets underway, I'd like to tip my had to the creative team at IDW for being such a class act.

For Ryall:

What has brought you the most satisfaction (or at least the biggest grin!) since IDW started their TF run?

I would add a good amount for the UK as well. HMV were heavily promoting the prequel and adaptation (as well as Optimash Prime and other pieces of merchandise) when the film came out last July.

Wasn't the Q&A supposed to start today? The Monday following the release of 'Focus On...'
