To celebrate this weeks release of IDW's treasury edition, containing MTMTE#1, RID#1 and The Death of Optimus Prime, we thought it time to re-release our own original reviews of these issues, from the depths of the old (MB2) vault.

The planet Cybertron, it's battered populace returning after the "great war" to wonder what on earth they were fighting for. John Barber guides us into the future of the Cybertronian race with Transformers: RID#1

The Combiner Wars step up a gear with Transformers issue 40! Join Gruffy, Andrew and career substitute host Adam as they readthrough and discuss the issue. More chat than usual, but that's due to several script/format choices that make this one of the best issues from Barber yet!
We also talk politics and Gruffy tries to bait a bearded Canadian artist. A few audio issues, hopefully not too bad.
The review of the next part of Combiner Wars (Windblade issue 2) will be up this weekend.

As well as thoroughly reviewing Transformers#39,the opening salvo of COMBINER WARS, Dave, andy and Gruffy also pitch a podcast based on depressing brit sci-fi, bring up "comic vs carton", ponder Stan Bush and address the current response to the end of the Auto Assembly UK convention. NSFW.

Join Dave, Andy and Gruffy as they look at the final TF issue before the Combiner Wars unfurl, and speak their mind on the different plots, characters and situations this latest arc has dealt with. (Note: NSFW)

Back to review and Team formally known as RID wrestle with opinions of wrestling before jumping straight into issue #37! [Explicit]

Discussion on Jurassic Park takes over the podcast momentarily before we review Transformers issue 36! Who takes over the comic after that? The humans or the Cybertronians? Also a fair bit of chatter about where we might be going with Combiner Wars. [Explicit]

Join the review team of the formally known as RID comic! Which character makes this issue? A table flipper, a certain bad human, or an insane alien? All this in issue #35! [Explicit]
