An eBay auction has surfaced online of a loose sample of the upcoming Transformers Generations (War for Cybertron) TG-18 Skywarp.  The photos within the auction give us a look at what is likely the final version of the action figure.  Though based on the War for Cybertron video game, it looks like Skywarp trades in his black and silver for two shades of gray.  Skywarp is due for release at the end of the week along side TG-17 Blaster & Steeljaw and Transformers GT Prime and Saber.

Ready for other nefarious designs of our favorite Decepticon logician, Shockwave, from John Barber and Livio Ramondelli? Here's a five-page preview of Robots In Disguise #17, "Dark Cybertron: Prelude", courtesy of comiXology and Full Metal Hero! Shockwave leads Dreadwing to a place Dreadwing thought had gone boom, but ol' One-Optic evokes that things are always "more than meets the eye" upon arriving in what remains of a city that once glittered and a glimpse of his memories...

Sound off your wild guessing at our thread! Don't forget that RID #17 hits general release on Wednesday, May 22th! Cover A by Ramondelli, Cover B by Casey Coller (lines) and Joana Lafuente (colors), and Retailer Incentive Cover by Phil Jiminez (lines) and Romulo Fajardo, Jr.
