IDW had plenty of panels at last week’s San Diego Comic-Con, and announced some new titles coming in the next year.
Lots of art was shown for All Hail Megatron, Spotlight: Blurr and Simon Furman’s new series, Maximum Dinobot, a 5 issue series, which is previewed in the following image:
As far as new series, Transformers: The 13 will celebrate the 25th year by telling of the original 13 in another origin series. The series will be written by Simon Furman with involvement from Hasbro, which can be considered good or bad.
Continuing the Transformers movie universe, Transformers: Destiny will act as a prequel to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The 5 issue series will start in December 2008. Chris Mowry and Alex Milne will pair up again to produce the series. Simon Furman will work on the Transformers 2 adaptation.
Chris Ryall and Simon Furman were also interviewed by Comic Book Resources. BEWARE, there is a major spoiler for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen Footage To Be Shown At SDCC?
IESB.net is reporting that Hasbro will be showing some early footage from Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen during their panel at the San Diego Comic-Con 2008. The reason for Hasbro showing the footage, and not Paramount is because they have no plans represent Transformers (or G.I. Joe) at the convention.
SDCC 08 is taking place from 24th-27th July.
