Mairghread Scott and John Barber Talk Combiner Wars And The IDW World In Two New Interviews

With a new crossover event getting ready to kick off, marked with the return of Windblade's self-titled series, John Barber and Mairghread Scott have been taking the chance to talk about the motivations and situations that have brought the story to this point and what we can expect going in to it. Today two interviews went up on Comic Book Resources and Women Write About Comics, and between them there's a lot to find out about what the next three months worth of stories and beyond have in store. Read on for excerpts and links back to the interviews!

Women Write About Comics: Should we be watching the Protectobot team very carefully? They’re quite famous for combining into Defensor in prior iterations of Generation 1, but they’re all on the Lost Light in More Than Meets the Eye—far away from the events of Combiner Wars taking place in Windblade Returns and The Transformers ongoing.

Scott: Once Caminus is within reach, all bets are off on where we can and can’t go, so I’d keep an eye on them.

Barber: Early on, it became clear that MTMTE was going to be hip-deep in it’s own storyline when we got into Combiner Wars. And the actual story is so, so inherently tied with the ongoing story of the formerly-called-Robots-In-Disguise Transformers series, and with the seeds planted in Windblade. One of the things that came out of the last big crossover, Dark Cybertron, was that the Lost Light is in communication with Cybertron. Like, they’re not in a position where they can call for back-up or whatever, but they’re not so far away that they’re totally unreachable. That was by design, so… yeah, watch for the Protectobots.

CBR: Starscream has had his claws in Cybertron for a while when "Combiner Wars" begins -- how has that been working out?

Scott: Actually, pretty well. Being a good person doesn't always make you a good leader and that's the source of the main tension in the book. Yeah, Starscream is selfish and power-hungry, but he also gets stuff done. There will be those who believe that an evil leader doing good is more desirable than a good leader who can't.

Barber: He's actually had a rough time in office -- "Dark Cybertron," which was pretty much not his fault, and now "Combiner Wars." Which totally is his fault.
