Let’s be fair. the first Dreamwave miniseries tried too hard to be “adult”, though oddly the same writer did a good job with the Transformers Armada comics. (Do a search for my reviews on both.) Even Furman told good stories in the Dreamwave run, though I’m not a fan of what he did with Optimus Prime’s origin, or that it’s taken over the better G1 cartoon backstory. He also had to shove Galvatron in there, but it was pretty good. Also, one correction: sparks came from the Beast Wars cartoon and has been accepted as canon for decades. I’m okay with it, as you see in my own homemade Transformers lore. The 13 Primes? That was Furman, first in the convention comics conceptually and then starting to fill them out in Transformers: The Ultimate Guide. Sadly we’re stuck with those and the Unicron/Primus being gods thing I had to keep in my own lore as multiversal continuity. Hopefully I’ve made it more palatable to myself and you guys liked what I did. It’s in the BW Prose section if you’re curious.
Overall I’m in near full agreement with him. Especially Furman’s other runs, the Bay movie garbage, and humanizing Transformers.
