I would hardly call Target 2006 ’simple’. At the time of its inception, it was the most complex Transformers story ever, and was the most complex all the way to the Unicron saga, with the possible exception of Legacy of Unicron. If anything,its nearly brimming with subplots and such.

It’s great stuff, seared into my brain as how Transformers comics should be. NO-ONE IS SAFE. Any character could be done in at a moment’s notice, and every cliff-hanger made you weep that you had to wait seven whole days to find out what happened. A rotating team of artists who each brought something different to the mix, evocative painted colour.

Damn I miss those days.

What I like about Furman’s original run is that it seemed so ‘fresh’ in that anything could happen. Literally. I do think Transformer comics and fiction in general has fallen into too much of a predictable pattern nowadays though, although Furman’s IDW run did have the same feeling as his old stuff.

Target: 2006 is one of my all time favourite Transformers stories! The issue with Magnus v Galvatron: round one is perminently burned into my memory as one of the best drawn strips I have ever seen. I mean- look at the final page that you have posted in the article- just LOOK at it! The composition is perfect, the characters emotive and brilliantly rendered and the colours? Well, lets just remember that all of this was done well before computers and photoshop and it looks MAGNIFICENT! Shame you havent included my favourite bit- where Magnus drives to the end of an incomplete freeway bridge with Galvatron riding him all the way before slamming on the brakes and sending him sailing out for a dramatic (and fruitless) concrete swan dive.
Furman never failed to create suspenseful, exciting stories- I think maybe because he was never afraid to kill off characters. This story alone left a good number of Autobots and Decepticons either dead or severely injured and reading a Furman script one could never be sure that your favourite would make it to the end…
Great reading for a 7 yearold! Not like the watered-down souless tripe that kids get these days…
