Coming from Diamond Comics to your local comic store on December 17:

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Movie Prequel: Alliance #1
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Movie Prequel: Alliance #1 (Free variant)

Be sure to check it out if you're fans of the first film and "Reign of Starscream"!

The Universe of the Transformers is vast, and populated by many characters. Their universe is a large tapestry, made up of the stories and points of view of countless experiences that serve the larger whole. These are some of those stories. This is: Transformers: Mosaic.

12/12/08 Mosaic: A certain Prime Gone out to lunch - yeah right.

Walky is Elated.

Now, if only they'll send something to the world's biggest Bonecrusher fan...

A guy can dream, can't he?

12 drummers finally drummed into heads yet? Or should that be "and then there were none," to which Maximum Dinobots #1 is finally out on the shelves! So grab yourselves a copy and find out what the Machination's been up to, how Sunstreaker and Hunter are fairing, and how Grimlock is - inevitably - going to deal with it.

All Hail Megatron writer Shane McCarthy talks about Spotlight Drift, finally grasping some free time from slave master/editor Denton Tipton. Here's a tidbit of what Shane had to say about Drift:

The initial spark (pardon the pun) for Drift’s creation came about due to two things.  Firstly I wanted a character in AHM that had a particular element to him that I didn’t see readily available elsewhere and secondly because, frankly, I thought it would be a great idea for Hasbro to have an Autobot Drift racer.

IDW held their first annual Customer Appreciation Sale at their office's parking lot on December 6, and not passing up the opportunity to pick up some IDW comics I might've missed, drove down to San Diego to check it out. In addition to seeing fans of other licenses IDW is handling (30 Days, CSI, Doctor Who, Angel), I was able to have a conversation with writer/graphic designer Chris Mowry, who shared some Transformers comics tidbits that won't be revealed until later.

Chris Ryall's blog post here with two pictures I took that day.

A new image of the back of Universe Overload's box has emerged thanks to TFClub.com, with somewhat of a look at the figure's bio. From what can be read of it, Overload appears to be the same Overload as the one from Armada. Only this is the body that he adopts during Cybertron, for when he ventures out in search of the lost Transformers colonies himself.
