Oh, and the comic book glosses over things even more than the novel does. And the artwork in the majority of the panels is...eh...less than quality...

MINOR SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!
It's difficult to accept that Prime and other Autobots arrive mid-way through the plot, and Megs is relegated to near the end, but given that the action scenes at the end are going to be longer and more involved than the way they are featured on the page, I am confident.
I mean, you see only a few panels with Brawl, and the demise of one 'bot is handled poorly in a single panel. On the big screen, these will be much more drawn-out.

Hopefully my comicbook store has the TPB. How much is it? If all else fails ill order it with the card game.

The issues will have interviews/art and other extra stuff to build up to the movie release. The TPB needed to be out well in advance so that normal bookstores/hypermarkets could get it into stock in time for the film and do promotions.

If Blackout lets out an EMP right when he Transforms, how can the computers still be on for him to start extracting information?
Just a couple of nitpicks I saw when I ran through it this morning, but I was really tired by the time I got around to reading it. (I work third shift.)

But I did thumb through this issue, and I really liked some of the cgi spreads of the 'bots...I especially liked the uber-awesome pic of Blackout.

Depends on if you want the bonus material in the individual issues or not. If you're not interested in the material but want the adaptation, get the trade. In case you're curious the issue #1 bonuses are:
-Blackout poster
-Autobot logo pin-up
-Frenzy pin-up
-Interview with Tom DeSanto
-Movie toy gallery (Bumblebee and Blackout in both modes)

The comic shop didnt have the TPB so im just going to get each issue. I guess one comes out evrey week because i was told that the next one is out next week.
Just finished reading it and i like it. This movie is going to be the Darker side of TF. Somethng that i think the line needs. Just a few things i dont like.
MAY CONATAIN SPOILERS
------------------------------------------------
1: the Autobot bat signle is lame
2: I have the feeling that Frenzy is going to sound like R2-D2 for a good part of the movie
3: issue 1 is to short.
other than that its a good read. And i was right frenzy can use a hologram to look like a human. Ive been saying that from the beging. Cant wait for the next issue. Here comes Barricade.

The signal was lame - I hope it's not in the movie, but it's not the worst that could happen if it is
