This week, Megatron drops some stealth truth bombs on Starscream in a surprisingly dark comic for a kids toy pack-in issue, as I look at #IDW #Transformers #comics Spotlight Megatron!

Though I hate that every break winds up longer than planned, that means no Revisitation this week either, just not in the mood for it.
Had some bad news, not directly as such (it more affects a friend), but has really knocked me for six a bit today.

2025 can fuck right off at this point.

Ahhhaaaa, realised that, just assuming it was the next one in the Infestation style crossovers, I'd checked the date it came out, but not the year.

X-Files/TF is actually a 2014 book.

Which means, the next RID will be the real next Revisitation. And that there will indeed be a week's break.
And yes, I am doing the X-Files crossover next, having nearly forgotten it because I never put it on the Revisitation Master List.

Technically, it should be an addendum as it's not main canon. But it's a sequel to stories that are main canon (but weren't at the time), so that's my fudge.

This week's reading is the Nick Roche Spotlight Megatron!

Probably the most overlooked bit of Roche work, it tends to be remembered in terms of Don Figuroa's complaint that Hasbro had no more legal right to turns Bomber Megatron into a toy than IDW had to use it in the comic in the first place.

Because I'm settled into someone asking this every few months (so, there's an interest, Skybound!), I'll say now publicly to save time later:

I don't have full scans of the Titan Transformers comic, and my scanner not being quite large enough would make it difficult and time-consuming to do so.

Plus, Swerve gets epoch ghosted and there's an author insert joke sat next to an author insert.

One fun challenge this week is the site I get my IDW scans from seems to have had the MTMTE (and only MTMTE, did @speedfreak01.bsky.social do this?) links taken down.

(To be clear, I've brought all of IDW at least twice, and MTMTE 3 times. The pirate versions were just easier to grab images from)
Doing this week's reading early because I've got a busy social Friday and there's a text story to do as well.

It's the pub crawl breather issue, notable for giving everyone their easily cosplayable at Auto Assembly holoavatars.

Very cheeky to be talking about Mary Sues and drawing Rewind Robertsy.

It's time to turn the spotlight on the blue Seeker (no, not that one. Or that one), as we get an insight into what he thinks of war crimes (it makes him sad to commit them).

All this and Bumblebee's amazing early leadership in my look at #IDW #Transformers #comics Spotlight Thundercracker!

Right, back into it!

Let's see how appealing to Megatron's better nature goes for Starscream.

Hello folks!

Had a message from long-time reader @thellamagod.bsky.social asking, "When are you coming back to give my life meaning and purpose again?"

So, next weekend I'm away, but let's say May 11th for my honest to goodness proper not a lie return!

With Chaos Theory on everyone's minds after the new script book, it's a good time to repost my thoughts on this seminal, extremely good (if a little rough edged) comic.

In readiness for the return of Revisitation this coming weekend, done what is my favourite part of the project because of the sense of progress, and created the 2013 page.

Oh, and finally got to meet @inflatabledalek.bsky.social in person after years of being a fan of @revisitation.bsky.social and somehow managing to miss each other, despite being in each other's orbit for years now at these events. (K)

Small update, this week has actually been pretty rough for me, in particular with really bad insomnia.

So, pushing back the return of Revisitation till the end of March (because I've also realised next weekend is the only one I've got free, so there'd be at least one more skipped one this month).

No new Revisitation this week as I'm on a between years break, but here's a retro one on a controversial issue that a lot of good people helped me on, the issue that killed the legacy of Simon Furman: Spotlight Arcee!
