And the DINOBOTS are back, headed by Ironhide into the Cybertronian wilderness searching for lost AUTOBOTS…but what they find might be the greatest danger of all!

Miller, E.J. Su, Tim Seeley, Emiliano Santalucia, & Guido Guidi (a) • Mike S. Miller © COBRA gains control of giant, transforming robots and uses them in their attacks. In response, the United States military forms an elite group of soldiers, G.I. JOE. COBRA COMMANDER, MEGATRON, HAWK, BUMBLEBEE, OPTIMUS PRIME, and more do battle. TPB • FC • $24.99 • 248 pages • ISBN 978-1-61377-535-6 Huge month, folks! Those RiD and MTMTE covers are pretty damn awesome--love seeing so much of the LL crew there, and Bumblebee leading a bunch of Autobots into battle! It sounds like Megatron's the big threat in RiD #12, but I dunno... I feel like it'll turn out to be someone else. And the biggest surprise here: the return of the Transformers Spotlights! Wow! Really hope they're back on a regular basis, and this isn't just a one-shot special. --------------------  |

QUOTE The fallout from the devastation on Earth ripples outwards, all the way to Nebulos, where GRIMLOCK faces his own darkest demons and a fateful choice that may cost him his very Spark. Regeneration One is having a slow start. I feel like less is happening per issue in Regeneration One than it did during the 80s Marvel comics. Now I've seen the cover, I am wondering about why Scorponok is leading the Dinobots into battle. Has Grimlock merged with Scorponok? This post has been edited by Bass X0: Sep 17 2012, 03:01 PM |

I would read the everloving snot out of more stuff from Roberts about Orion Pax. He's done more to convince me I should care about IDW Optimus Prime than any other writer. Shadowplay is a great idea, and so is this.

Ugh, Scorponok. Really unexcited to see him after his storyline ended perfectly in #75.

QUOTE(Spectre @ Sep 17 2012, 04:04 PM)  In other news: Yay, more Roberts! I think I especially like that the art seems to indicate this is the Orion Pax we saw in Blurr's spotlight issue. I do kind of want to see that reconciled.

QUOTE Ugh, Scorponok. Really unexcited to see him after his storyline ended perfectly in #75. They're saying all Headmasters have their original heads left on Nebulos. Zarak's story ended in #75, but Scorponok's did not. You must remember Zarak continually referencing "the real Scorponok". This is him. http://graphicpolicy.files.wordpress.com/2...w=450&h=684 Can anyone name all those Transformers? I got most but I think some are newly created characters for MTMTE.

Are we to infer that the compete Drift 'saga' is the highlight of IDW after LSOTW?
That's just sad. |

Drift's kind of likeable now, and folks need a good centralized place to know about the Circle of Light and how he joined the Autobots.That's just sad. -------------------- |

I thought they were just after more standalone stuff to collect, after the LSOTW Hardcover. They don't have much to choose from. Pretty much nothing else. |

Sgt. Roddy's Lonely Hearts Club is the Best. Thing. Ever. I love how Ore is in there - half of him, anyway. And is that Dipstick above Whirl and Perceptor?
MTMTE #12 may be the comic I've anticipated the most ever. This post has been edited by Master Fwiffo: Sep 17 2012, 07:03 PM --------------------  |

Okay, I can ID just about everyone on the MTMTE #12 cover, except:
-The two guys under Powerglide, blue and gold (Siren and Sandstorm?) -Green guy over Whirl's left shoulder -Masked blue guy above him -------------------- |
