TFW2005 was fortunate enough to sit in on a web based press conference yesterday held by IDW regarding their 2 upcoming ongoing Transformers books. Transformers More Than Meets The Eye and Transformers Robots In Disguise. Michael Kelly, Director, Global Publishing, Global Brand Licensing & Publishing, Hasbro and John Barber, Senior Editor, IDW gave a rundown of the new direction and answered some questions.
昨日(10/19/2011)TFW2005荣幸的参加了IDW主办的网络会议,内容是关于变形金刚两部新主线漫画:<TF: MTMTE>和<TF: RID>的发布事宜。诸位业界要人在现场回答了FANS的问题。
After the Death of Optimus Prime (IDW #125, due in December), the "War for Cybertron" is officially over. The Autobots have won and took control of the planet. They are starting to rebuild. There is a choice though - stay or go. This is where the split into 2 books will happen. More Than Meets The Eye will follow Rodimus and his team, as they choose to leave Cybertron. Robots In Disguise will focus on the new leader, Bumblebee, and how he leads the remaining Autobots (and Decepticons, all Transformers for that matter), on Cybertron. Two books, one universe.
在OM大结局《擎天柱之死》(IDW #125,预定12月发售)之后,赛博坦之战正式宣告结束。博派胜利并接管了赛星,开始战后重建工作。此时在幸存的TF中出现了一个两难的抉择:是去,还是留。这也是两部主线漫画的剧情开始分支的转捩点。MTMTE的视角会跟随决意离开赛博坦的补天士,以及他带领的小队。而RID着重于赛博坦的新领导者大黄蜂,以及他在带领留守赛星的博派(以及狂派,包括所有余下的变形金刚)中发生的故事。两本漫画的剧情并行发生在同一个宇宙中。
In More Than Meets The Eye, Rodimus will lead at least the following bots - Ultra Magnus, Drift, Ratchet (they are seen on the multi cover images). We will follow them and whomever goes with them in space as they search for the "Knights of Cybertron" a legendary band of bots. They are not even sure if they are real. They supposedly have the power to return Cybertron to the "Golden Age" before the war. This group will run into remnants of the Great War on planets and locations that aren't yet aware it is over, as well as other conflicts. So even though the war is over, it is still an action book.
在MTMTE中,补天士将带领至少如下的人物:通天晓,浪剑客,救护车(如四连封海报上所示)。我们的视角将跟随他们去往太空,去寻找传说中的组织“赛星骑士团”(*见OM#23赛星内战前OP的回忆,原设似乎是赛星中世纪年代、奉领导模块为圣物的拜Matrix教教会武装部队)。他们的英雄故事已经失落许久,以至于被当作神话代代传诵,连小补他们自己也不能确信这些英雄是否真的存在,但他们相信后者的力量能够恢复赛博坦战前黄金时代的辉煌。小补带领的这支队伍将介入外星球间的大战,并深入尚未了解狂博内战已经结束的地区,以及一些其他的争端。所以即使全面战争已经结束,这本漫画依然主打动作场面。
Robots In Disguise will focus on Bumblebee and his attempts to rebuild Cybertron's society. Bots staying with 'Bee will include at least Ironhide, Prowl and Wheeljack. Thousands of neutral Transformers are returning home knowing the war is over. Cybertronians that fled the planet eons ago without choosing sides. Left over Decepticons are also present and need to be dealt with, re-integrated. Bumblebee doesn't want to return to the past; rather, he wants to forge a new future for their race. Here and now, moving forward. Managing all these factions and points of view is hard and we will follow his journey through that.
RID将着重把焦点放在赛星的新领袖大黄蜂,以及他如何殚精竭虑重建赛星社会的故事上。陪伴BBB留守的人员至少包括铁皮、警车和千斤顶。成千上万的中立派变形金刚在知晓战争结束后纷纷回归母星,在战前,他们因不愿选择加入博狂中任一方而背井离乡。被丢在赛星上的狂派们也将出场,他们需要被重新处理和整合进新的社会中。大黄蜂并不想让赛星回到过去,他更想的是为变形金刚种族建立一个全新的未来。就在这里,就在现在,一往无前。整合不同的派系,统一涌动的思潮,BBB的和平旅程依然艰难,而我们会关注着他的一路成长。
So basically - it is a philosophical difference between groups of Autobots after the war. Do they look to the past and try to rediscover it, or move away from it look to the future. We follow each view point in the 2 books.
简单地说——战后的博派中在和平年代的治世哲学上出现了分歧。他们是应当回首过去重耀辉煌,还是应当抛下过去放眼未来。我们将从这两本漫画的不同视角,共同探索这一议题。
At first, there will be some cross over in the books. But after the "split" officially happens (I assume Rodimus rolls out with his crew to go planet hopping), the books will be relatively independent of each other. There will be themes that may cross over, and Rodimus' crew members may "call home" every so often. But otherwise, independent.
两套主线漫画中将有线索联系和穿越。但当故事主线正式“分家”后(我猜是指小补跑路去宇宙中寻找ONE PIECE之后),这两套书的情节将彼此独立、各自发展。会有相交的回忆场景,小补队伍的成员也会经常和老家保持电话联系。但归根究底,这两套主线还是独立的。
The way this is being pushed is that if you are new to the IDW universe, new to Transformers, or just want to jump back in, this is a good point to do so. It's a reboot without losing the rich continuity they have built over the last 3 years.
之所以这样安排是为了同时吸引从未接触过IDW TF宇宙的新读者,以及想要回头追连载的旧粉丝。这次大重启并不会影响过去3年建设起来的IDW变形金刚故事主线的丰富性。
Lovecarft是指H. P. Lovecraft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._P._Lovecraft
这个作家基本创作了克苏鲁神话的体系那时还只是一九二几年呢,他还有其它大量的怪奇小说.
这次入侵IDW各宇宙的就是他笔下的克苏鲁神话里的各路魔神了”即Lovecraftian demons“ 并不是名为Lovecraft的恶魔
