So, who's been reading them? I only started reading them some time this year, but I somehow managed to read pretty much everything Transformers related that they've published.
Who is everyone's favourite character/characters?
For me, it's pretty much all of the cast of MtMtE. Mainly Team Rodimus. Rodimus, Chromedome, Rewind, Nightbeat, Brainstorm, Whirl (Deadpool if he could transform into a helicoptor), Swerve, Tailgate, Cyclonus, Nautica, Megatron and Ultra Magnus are all a team that should NOT work. Ever. And somehow the manage it, without killing each other (And not for a lack of trying). That said, Thundercracker retiring from the Decepticon cause to focus on becoming a screen-writer might be one of my all time favourite moments. And as for Shockwave...man, the writers have done a heck of a job with stuff concerning him.
Edit: Rung! How ironic I forgot Rung!
Favourite series/story arc?
More Than Meets The Eye/Lost Light are my favourite series by far. James Roberts is just a fantastic writer. My favourite storyline from that is probably where Team Rodimus travel back in time to stop Brainstorm. I love a good time-travel story. Especially one with some fun little plot twists. And they had some nice little twists in that arc.

The last ones I read and enjoyed where the "Regeneration One" ones, availability is a problem for me having to find somewhere online to buy as I don't live near a major city with comic shops. I'm not a fan of the popular character Windblade however as it seemed she was literally shoved down fan's throats. I've read some of the sreacks stuff but lost track with that also.

Windblade has grown on me a bit.
Last Stand of the Wreckers/Sins of the Wreckers/Requiem of the Wreckers were fantastic. Absolutely loved the back story given to Springer over the course of those three.
Regeneration One is the only stuff I've not read. Isn't that the continuation of the US Marvel comics?

That's the ones, even then I didn't get round to getting any more after 6 issues. (Starting at #90) More often then not with the incentive covers I'd buy the same issue twice as I couldn't decide between the covers!

Hmm, just did a little research on that, only 20 issues of Regeneration One. Follows on from the US Marvel comics, so there's only 80 issues before that, rather than the 300+ we somehow got here in the UK. Eek, I just found out that Optimus Prime issue 21 was released today. That's like 3 issues in the last month

Yeah ours unique issues intermixed with our US cousins, the main storyline during the 80's and after they stopped at 80 we just carried on, way - way on!..
That said about finding comics to buy online, I did get my free Unicron #0 from ComiXology on National Free Comic Day. I'm just looking at the site and they have a sale on until the end of July.. So you recommend MTMTE then BB? I could spend just over £10 and get the first 4 compilation volumes to start with, it's actually quite tempting now I'm looking at their site!

MTMTE is definitely a good read. It's more light-hearted and humorous than the other series (But they can drop some pretty heavy stuff when the need arises). There is a crossover with Robots In Disguise about mid-way through, the Dark Cybertron event. I think there was also a crossover for Titans Return as well, near the end.

I decided to re-read MTMTE, I'm at the Dying of the Light arc.
EDIT: I'm at the Remain in Light arc. Issues 17-21. Dying of the Light was the final act of MTMTE.

*Clears throat*
Just read Issue 22, Little Victories. Man, that's a good one. A good contrast to Cybertronian Homesick Blues (Issue 13, I think).

I finished volume #1 of MTMTE, the sparkeater has just been nailed to the engine generator like that other poor unfortunate transformer that isn't ore.

"Ratchet, could you put his brain back in his head? With corpses, I prefer to go through the eye sockets." "I cannot begin to tell you what's wrong with that sentence."
Chromedome and Drift share a disturbing moment.
