Why IDW Is Rebooting the Transformers Franchise
The Transformers comic book universe as you know it is gone. Last year's Transformers: Unicron didn't just bring an end to a 13-year saga of Transformers comics at IDW Publishing, it also marked the end of the entire Hasbro Comic Book Universe. But that doesn't mean IDW is finished with this license.
Instead, the company is using 2019 to reboot Transformers and start fresh. Their newest series, simply titled Transformers, reboots continuity from square one and travels back all the way to the beginning of the rivalry between Optimus Prime and Megatron.
We had an opportunity to interview both IDW Editor-in-Chief John Barber and Hasbro's VP of Global Publishing Michael Kelly to learn more about the new series and why starting from scratch was the right move for this long-running franchise. They also shed light on a brand new character that is a franchise-first and some unexpected ways in which the new series is exploring the humanity behind the Robots in Disguise.

10 Best Legendary Pokemon
The world of Pokemon features a class of Pokemon so rare and powerful they’re in a category all their own called Legendary Pokemon. Dozens have debuted over the many generations of the franchise, but IGN’s biggest Pokemon fans got in a room and battled it out to decide which were the best of the best.
Now, this is not a list of Legendary Pokemon ranked by power alone, although being a strong battler in the game and how they made a mark on the competitive scene was a key factor in our criteria. We also analyzed each Pokemon based on how well they were designed -- how cool they look and how their appearance reflects their powers and personality. And we took into account the Pokemon’s lore and how it affects the greater world of Pokemon. We vetted these Pokemon not only based on their appearances in the core games but various spin-offs, the Trading Card Game, and the anime and movies to decide the best Legendaries overall.
