Oooh I don't know much about Transformers but love the look of that villain. And I love that he's the secret mastermind behind the main factions.

Thank you for your interest and fave.
If you need to know something in particular about Transformers (and our comics!) I will tell you everything!

That's great!
We're working to fill the gaps left by Furman, in particular during the #80-80.5-81 period.
And our stories set during this period, in the end, will collide with our stories set on the Marvel era, to an epic (at least I hope) finale!

A one page comic might not be the best way to show a long time. It rather kinda tells us that a long time passed. For me, it doesn't feel like a long time.

Ok. Unfortunately my english is not good.

Nono, this isn't about the English language. There's a saying directed at every creator of fiction (and other things, too, I guess) you might know: "Show, don't tell." Ignore the rest of this comment if you know this saying and also know what it means.
So, to make your reader/audience care, you should show the action, the drama, the emotions, the decisions, what's at stake... whatever engages the reader/audience. If you just tell them, they know the information, but they haven't experienced it, so they don't care that much.
Obviously you can't show everything. You should tell some things to set up those things your story is about, the things you really want to show and have the reader/audience care. It's about priorities.
In this comic I get on the intellectual level that it covers a lot of time, but having read one page doesn't make me feel like I was there (even though I was, since I read the whole Regeneration 1). So on the emotional level it's unsatisfying. For me, at least. It's feels just like a recap.
But then I see hat you changed it to "tell" in the description. Typed this stuff for nothing, I guess.

Ok, now I fully understand what you're meaning.
And, to be honest, I've never heard before "show, don't tell" (unless I've felt this sensation several times watching movies/reading comics).
I'ts interesting to read your comment and, definitively, reflecting on it.
I can agree with you that a 1 page comic is a "quick reading" so for a reader it could be difficult to "enter" in the story.
In conclusion, this is a comic for hardcore TF readers, assuming that they have got a read on the full R1 series and they know all the events.
We realized this page to explain better something Furman don't told explicitely. Now it's put on paper.

Didn't type it for nothing. Good to know!

Yes!
I don't have idea if you know who Fabio Aru is but, recently, he stated something like this: "I don't need somoeone who says me how a great rider I am" to people who only congratulates him.
This phrase is very significative for me.
I'm not interested to simply count the faves, I prefer interesting comments like yours who makes me reflect on my "work".

Though psychologically speaking I find it understandable: thinking of meaningful things to say about each picture, each page is hard work. And from experience most people have learned that most other people don't like criticism. So better just to state that you liked it and don't risk offending anyone.
