Why would that be funny? Do you even know what "woke" means or is woke the new "literally Hitler"?
Interesting idea, to have the Decepticons - who are really obviously
the bad guys - launch a 'Holy War on Woke' rather than fighting for power or resources like usual. I suppose the latter is a bit played out, but it could be neat to show explicitly that the
killhappy bad guys are fighting against 'Woke', and by extension to show that fighting against 'Woke' is what
the bad guys do.
Not sure who the 'IDW' they could dunk on might be, though. Iacon's Dumb Warriors? Interior Dry Wall? Insufficiently Defined Wishes?

I also wouldn't mind to have cleaner artwork again, because what we have now is full of energy and I do like it, but I miss the clean metallic art we've had since Dreamwave.
I'd be surprised if it changed much TBH, unless they did a hard stop and tone shift at some point for a new story. There's certainly been a setting of tone and expectations from the start and I'd expect to continue in that vein.
On the art, I miss the clean IDW style too, but it wouldn't fit this story at all IMO. While DWJ's style might not really be to my taste, I can appreciate the evident choices made (the roughness, the energy) to fit the tone he's going for. And I note that when a second artist was brought on, he followed DWJ's style very closely, so I wouldn't expect that to change any time soon without (again) a big tone shift in the story.
