My Tformers written reviews

I have a lot of these. I started writing them July 2010 when I was asked to take over as comic reviewer at tformers. I really like doing these reviews. And apparently a ton of people read them. So that makes me smile too.

Anyhow... this is my archive of them:

Yeah, I'm there...

Yes, I'm on youtube. No promises that I'll be posting videos soon or anything. Especially since I need to figure out how to record, edit, and post them. But I'm on there. Just putting it out there.

In other news...

I got xbox this last week. Yes... yes, I did. Now I know what you are going to say... how is it that you aren't coming to AA but you can afford an xbox? Okay, there is a big difference between $200 USD and $1,000 USD. I worked it out with my husband.

I've been researching and asking close friends about xbox for the last two months in anticipation of War For Cybertron coming out. (Like how does it work, what should I get...?) I've been really excited about this game and seeing the full uncut version made for the xbox. And I wanted to play the darn thing. Not just the version on the Wii. Cause yeah, I've had a Wii for the last year.

So I've been searching online and trying to figure out what would be reasonable for me and my family budget. And I found a great deal so... I got one. For less that $200 and I rented both the Wii and Xbox versions. And it's nice.

It's actually really really nice. I'm gonna buy the xbox version, probably next month. I'll review them both once I get further into the games. But yeah. Hands down. Xbox WFC game, excellent, total win.

If you want to join me on xbox, shoot me an email. Or a PM on one of the forums I frequent. Not gonna put my gametag out there for anyone and everyone to add me. But yeah, I'd love to play with anyone of my TF fellow fans.

And on that note... I'm selling cards, so I can raise money for a possible trip to Auto Assembly either this year, next year, or both. It's not that I'm in the dog house with finances, at least not in a way that is scary in our economy right now. It's just I live in the USA and a airplane trip to the UK isn't cheap. I just can't justify spending that much money for myself, when I've got a family that won't be enjoying it too. The xbox everyone can play and enjoy and it's in my price range. So if you'd like to help send me to AA, feel free to buy a card. And I'll be continuing to sell cards afterwards to help fund my hobby, so you probably can get anything for anytime of the year. Some are Transformer themed and the rest are not. Cause yeah, there is so much I'd like to get, it'd be nice if I could provide a service that could fund what I'd like to get in the future.

Lastly, I got two books this last week. IDW Collection Volume 1 and Transformers Exodus. The Collection is awesome. Get it if you don't have a collection of trades already of the IDW Transformers comics. It's a beautiful collection. Can't wait for the next volume to come out this fall. Exodus, not bad, but not perfect. I'm halfway through the book and I'm reviewing it soon.

If you do the math you may start to see that my reviews are being posted a full 24 hours at least before the actual comics are coming out in the comic shops on the Moonbase2 Forum. There is a reason for this.

The Moonbase2 Forum creator Dave (aka KalelPrime) has been graciously given the opportunity by IDW (holder and publisher of the Transformer comic license) to download the comics five days in advance so he can have his forum reviewers read the comic and review it. This is a special permission given to only a handful of Transformer websites. It's a great honor and Dave is only giving the comics to his two reviewers, Me and another guy named Matt (aka KingGrimlock).

So I get the comic on my computer to review sometimes up to five days in advance but not always. I get a chance to read it, think about it, pick it apart, review it, talk about it with Dave and Matt (and sometimes some of the other reviewers I'm getting to know from the other Transformers websites, who also have this great opportunity), and then post my opinion. Sometimes this is really easy and sometimes it is dang hard. The hard part comes in when I actually have to do some research on characters, past comics, or just trying to figure out what isn't working for me and why.

I'm really thankful IDW has given Moonbase2 this chance to do this. The forum is growing and I am happy to see that. This is just another one of those honors. So thank you IDW, I really appreciate the opportunity I have to review these comic ahead of time. It really does mean a lot to myself and I know to the rest of the crew of Moonbase2...

That being said, my opinion isn't purchased or influenced by anyone. I'm an honest person and IDW has never expected me to lie about what I think of the comics. So yes, that can also mean if my opinion is low, I'm going to say it. If it means you don't buy it. It is what it is. Hopefully though, this means IDW will continue to send out the reviewing material. I still think it is worth their time to do it, even if the review is low. I still meet plenty of people despite what I say will still buy the comics. Fans are fans... we do want we do and sometimes there is no logic to it.

I am also becoming more and more active on the IDW Boards as well. You can find me there under the same nick, ladywreck. It's pretty neat. I actual get a chance sometimes to talk to the creative team behind the making of the comics. That's a real treat. And lets not forget the head editor Andy Schmidt. Pretty amazing.
