It was not too long ago that we found out about Mr. Simon Furman expressing his thoughts about continuing the Marvel Transformers Comic Book Series with the help of IDW.

At the IDW Forums, Transformers Comic Book Fans replied to Mr. Furman’s statement with full support. TFW2005 members also joined the cause.

Now, they have created an online petition for everyone to take part to receive permission from IDW for the continuation of the series starting with issue #81.

Meanwhile, Mr. Andrew Wildman; Transformers Comic Book Artist left a message on his blog regarding this latest development.

"…A while ago myself and Simon Furman considered the idea of picking up where we left off with the old Marvel Comics run of Transformers. For me it came about because after doing a series of six covers IDW asked me to do some interior art for their Transformers book…

…So where are we now? Well it is clear that IDW are not resistant to the idea but in these current times of relatively low comics sales they would need to feel confident that it would sell.
So what can be done about it? If you are interested, sign the petition that is going about. Get enough names on that and it would clearly be a viable project. Of course it remains to be seen who would draw it as there are other interested parties but I think it is safe to say that Simon would love to get his teeth into it…"
