I could have sworn you said Hot Rod there." (Note that's it's in good fun - I just really didn't like the whole "Rodimus" thing at all, so I joke around about it. He was an inferior choice and a rubbish commander, if he can even be called that.)

Who, of the living Autobots in The Movie, would have been a better choice?

Ultramagnus already proved he didnt have the stones...

**DiscoVader**

Honestly, I would have wanted Ironhide to become the new Prime, because it would have made the most sense, but then they decided to kill him off early and remove him from the equation. It's rather unfortunate that out of the surviving Autobots, Hot Rod was the best choice due to Magnus not having the balls to step up.

DAMN YOU, ULTRA MANGUUUUUUSSSS!

The only transformers I've been even slightly interested in in a longtime.

**Cannerus_The_Unbearable**

Bumblebee (Goldbug) would have been a killer prime.

He doesn't have the time to deal with that now!

Granted, the series is a complete separate continuity that's unrelated to the others except in how the story is like a G1 reboot, but still.

News to me. However, IDW is part of the G1 Universal Cluster, so is related to G1.

Also interesting is that Simon Furman wants to pick up from where he left off in the Marvel comics run and produce a Transformers #81.

Also, Cannerus, in IDW, Bumblebee DOES lead the Autobots, just without the Matrix.

Hence the suggestion

I've honestly been loving the IDW series a LOT - aside from the stupid canon hiccups that happened in All Hail Megatron, it's been an absolutely stellar run and a fantastic take on the G1 universe. I would absolutely love to see them make an animated show based off of it.

How'd you like the Zombies?

**DiscoVader**

Sadly, I haven't gotten the chance to read Zombies yet - the store I usually go to (which is also my FLGS) hasn't ordered them in, and I haven't had the time to go out and look for them elsewhere recently. >: I really want to read it though.
