In November, IDW will release Transformers Continuum,which will bring all readers up to speed on IDW’s Transformers comics released so far, which is an idea many fans have recommended for a long time. It isn’t know if this is one issue or a series.

Also be on the look out for the San Diego Comic-Con in 2 weeks, which will have 3 Transformers announcements, 2 of which will come as a big surprise and one that fans feel they already know about. I’ll let you speculate on what these may be.

There will also be some “movie news”, which probably consists of the next movie comic, Tales of the Fallen.

You find the cover has improved colour contrast compared to when it was last seen, the Apocalypse Comics website (who helped get the cover done), and Grimlock saying something that only Grimlock would say. The cover is limited to 1000 copies with a maximum of 2 sold to each attendee at Auto Assembly 2009 in August.

The cover has art from Nick Roche with colours from Liam Shalloo.

All Hail Megatron #13 is due out next month. Look out for #12 later this week.

Featured in the book are the G1 versions of Bumblebee, Ratchet, Arcee, Bumblebee and Prowl, and IDW’s new character, Drift.  Certainly an odd addition.

Click the flash preview below to see the first 5 pages:

Issues 13, 14 and 15 continue on from the main 12 issue series, but with two 11 page stores per issue, designed to wrap up remaining story points from All Hail Megatron, Maximum Dinobots, Revelations and other issues that came before, as well as lead into the ongoing series starting in November.

Obviously, there are some spoilers, so you have been warned.

The characters are being modelled after the Robot Heroes toyline, with the art drawn by Joe and Rob Sharp, and will be a hardcover with dustjacket, which is shown below.

The issue takes place between the events of The Reign of Starscream and the events of the film, so is essential reading for all!

The official prequel to next summer’s “TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN” film kicks off here! “TRANSFORMERS: DESTINY” is comprised of two four-part stories covering events leading up to the film. In the first chapter of the DESTINY story arc, ”ALLIANCE,” readers will learn more about what happened to SECTOR SEVEN, what happened to the AUTOBOTS, and why their war on our planet is far from over.

Chris Ryall has put up the 3 covers, which show the new logo and layout for the covers, as well as what looks like a new IDW logo.

BULKHEAD is up in arms (or is it servos?) over a gas-guzzling “megavan” created by corporate slimeball Porter C. Powell. Also, DECEPTICON bounty hunter LOCKDOWN searches for “the AUTOBOT who put MEGATRON offline” and stumbles into a surprising and dangerous encounter along the way.

The other Transformers comic this week is the 2nd printing of The Transformers: Megatron Origin TPB, which was originally released in December 2007, and is set early on in the IDW G1 universe.

Chris Ryall has posted the 3 covers for Arrival #4.

The inks cover shows Jazz and Razorclaw battling it out with destroyed buildings around them. The only other clue to the issue is that it is coming out in March 09, which means it is unlikely to be an IDW main series, and more likely a Spotlight issue.

The comic takes the story in a different direction to the cartoon, so is worth picking up if you cannot stand the animated series. The book is drawn by James Raiz and written by Chris Sarracini.

Chris Ryall again has the cover for your viewing pleasure.
