I expect to see Midnight Sparkle duking it out with The Fallen by the end of next year.

For a few years IDW used to mock your nerdy belief that writers and editors should be able to remember things that happened in previous issues, but then they hired John Barber. Now they expect us to remember things.

One of the main culprits commonly blamed was then-editor Andy Schmidt, whose idea of editorial oversight was in stark contrast to what readers were expecting from him, based on past experience with both Transformers and other comics: On several occasions, Schmidt openly decried the fandom’s fixation on things such as “continuity” and “canon”.

 
Just look at ugh Continuum.
 
Those were hard times baby but now we’re at point where they’re turning it into a shared universe of Hasbro properties.
 

Pinkie: “I’ve murdered billions!”

 
Megatron:“It’s a start.”
 

 
Megatron:“You still have a ways to go.”
